[428] SirSammy's Storage Pit/Den

Herro All,

I am not a very good builder so all criticism will be welcomed and embraced - so I can make this structure better.



What does it do? It allows you to store surplus's of gold - wood - stone(haven't tested corpses yet :p ) and hide it in plain sight. Doesn't have a high protection level though as it is only protected by doors.

How does it work?



Put all surplus goods at the bottom of the structure. Once you have done that - climb out of the structure and all your good's should be hidden by the doors and the darkness they provide.

Suggestions are welcome :D

 

Wouldnt it be better to just dig a hole in the ground, dump resources and then seal it? (perhaps building a tower above it)

 

Yep. It would be better(because of the low resource cost to build it) - but it would offer very little protection(without a tower on it). Now that I think of it - my design would look quite nice at the bottom of a tower.

 

However, you would have to hollow out the tower (weakening it) <--- Basic tower

 

Good Point. I guess It should just stay in between two towers for protection.

 

maybe you could make it 5 stories tall so people cant jump over it

 

you should post updates i do on mine
:)

 

I'll post a way on how to make it safe, in an hour, or two.

 

You should probebly make it a add-on for a tower, because it looks quite easy to breck into. Also, not shore how long it takes but wouldn't the items de-spawn?

 

I dont think items despawn at all, this would be very usefull.
When i'm going for a cata flight with kegs, i dont want to take the wood i have with me :P

 

*comes out of hiding*

Seems like this structure is actually useful in some ways :/

Cannot update right now will do it today or tomorrow though.

Outer Look:


NOTE: Was too lazy to stone the spike pit(Scold me if you please :<)

Inside LOOKZ:



My Comments: Herp Derp everyday I'm shufflin - this structure requires high maintenance and stuff :<

 

Sammy, Sammy, Sammy. No stone around the spike pit? I'm dissapointed.

 

I feel like I would die by those spikes on the roof if I would jump into the door trying to avoid the spikes in the pit. :(

 

Perhaps. Eh - maybe it was stupid to add them there :<

Thanks for pointing that out btw

 

Yeah i agree that the entrance is quite dangerous looking, don't think even a dumb enemy would fall into it, they'll just stand in front, and then...how the hell are we supposed to flush enemies out from the front of our building (right infront of spike pit)?

ideas:

• stoned spike trap + bomb chute
• trap bridges at bottom-door level for easier access
• a second exit left of where the two trees touch ur building
• a single team door archer spot where the two trees touch ur building
• easier access to roof
• a single team door + trap bridges in a vertical line (3 blocks height) to flush out any enemies that manage to pass the first door near ur spike trap (above you!)
• that thing right on top of ur tower, make it one block higher so it can be a cata nest
• i think many of the spikes there are for intimidation! but some are dangerous to team mates and often a knight would just stay back and bomb-da-heel-outa-yo building

anyways A for effort! don't worry everyone needs some places to improve.
