Yep like Wille Ekorre said. look around for an item you enjoy, and use the prefab feature of the game to copy it directly to your vessel, or just use them for inspiration! :)

@Skellyboy10 This workshop item gives you a blueprint. Spawn it like you would spawn a structure/base, then simply copy paste the superstructures

how would i add these to my ship?

Oh fancy idea, you already gave me two or three fun ideas there :D Thank you Wille Ekorre!

Maybe put out some futuristic / mocern superstructures?

What would you folks love to see in a future update? let me know in a comment here! :D I have some spare time commin up soon soooo overhaul time for this little pack!

My pleasure! I am happy to see people still enjoy this little project of mine! One day when I have holidays I really ought to update it again though :D (8 weeks or so)

i suck at superstructures, thanks.

Hello lovely people; small update today that has replaced one of the older and uglier smaller towers to a more modern design with an secondary crows nest behind it for the braver bots to stand on during a fight or fishing trips.

I know I have not updated the pack in a while but soon my holidays will begin and then I do plan on overhauling (adding to) the hull pack and this one!

My pleasure! I hope you found what you where looking for :)

Super useful, thanks for making this.

Hello lovely people; I have added three new cage masts to the pack. they are fairly rough but look good from medium to larger distances. I hope you will enjoy, and as always have a lovely day <3

I am not sure I follow here? all power systems I used on the fortress are vanilla ones that are accessable to everyone.

Hey, will you ever do blueprints on the steam engines?

Hello lovely people, the pack has been updated with 3 new larger scaled designs and the previous large one has recieved some minor update. Please feel free to give feedback or ask if you want something different to be added! And as always, have a lovely day!

Aww, thank you Fluffy <3 I would concider myself average at best, but these kinda comments do wonders for my self esteem ;-)

These are awesome. So are hulls. I am very thankful for these, can learn to build pretty now.

You are very good at this.

Hello lovely people, I have added a larger superstructure to the pack, eventually I will be aiming to make a couple of larger ones (between 6 and 10) to compliment the smaller ones already in here. I hope people will enjoy it! and have a lovely day!

- Added a dual smoke stack and updated a older design to celebrate almost hitting 1800 subs. Sadly real life has kept me from updating this as much as I wanted to but holidays are commin up soon ;-)

Hello lovely people; the end of the world is not an excuse for me to have this lying around gathering dust; so I added another model to the pack. its main feature is actually the deck rather then the structure itself. Hope you enjoy it!

Hello lovely people, I finally managed to find some free time in between family, diseases, and the general crappy things that come with being an adult to get some new building stuff done. The December update is not as large as I would have hoped for but at least its something: Four new superstructures have been added. One large, and three medium ones with an attached anti ship helicopter attached to one of them.

Seeing we hit the 1225 subs I had to do something to celebrate with you all :) As such I've added several simple guns to the platform for frankly you guys have blown me away with all your kind words! They do not feature the most complex tetris design, but they are simple enough I hope for people to easily understand them and learn from them.

ohmygawd yes thanks.

Bitte sehr. But mind that these designs are workable with ships up to around 250 blocks in length. I could eventually attempt to make a larger version if people want to for ships up to 1000 blocks in length (oversized) but yea i am not sure there is a lot of interest for it. And my advice for superstructure builds are to keep it as light as possible with the main ship dakka's and ai's hidden below the waterline.

Danke, might have to download this so I'll spend less time making super heavy, super angled, and super oversized superstructures. My ships always end up top-heavy, cause I love armour and dakka.

Oh how I wish I could fill 1.3 GB with my designs but sadly I have to settle for 1.3MB for the time being :D

Is this 1.3 gigs or just 1.3 MB?

At the end, modularity is a matter of clarity. Less is better. It is easier to add armor than replace it. It is easier to add equipement than replace it. It is easier to cut some hole in a blank hull to fit some guns or propeller than create one to match specs.

If you take a good looking hull you created and fitt 2 or more completly different purposed craft and its vaguely efficient and is still is good looking then you have a great success. (i dont have a good looking hull to start with Xd)

- Size doesnt matter much. Availiable shapes can be cut down to some standards : 3x3x6 -> 7x7x14 -> 9x9x18 etc (with floating length or turret shape if you feel like it). At the end, equipement will be adapted with trick and smartness you never think of. dont bother think it to much.
- Proper armor is dependent of so much parameter (like utility, kind of equipement, personal recipe, play style ...) that you are better to not bother much either. Think a thickness (like 3 ->6), enventually mark the thickness with some block markers and let others manage to do what they feel.

@papy I am actually working on one somewhere. But I am somewhat unsure about three things right now; The size (lengths mostly) of the separate pieces to make it as useful as possible for people. And if I should add proper armored belts to the hulls or simply leave them empty so people can design their own armor around their own builds. Not to mention what to do with a stern / bow section of a ship. for I am more then willing to admit, i am not as great with designing good looking sterns.

If you manage to craft good looking blank/modulable hulls, ill take it. For me (likewise alot of your subscriber) technique is easy and art is painful but efficient cube is not the way.
Keep it good and get fun !

1104 subs? I am blown away! no update to celebrate it sadly enough for I am working on a larger Christmas update for both my superstructure packs that is utterly killing me right now.

Seeing we are closing on the 900 subs I wanted to create an update of this item to celebrate with you all <3 But while I can add some things myself I was wondering if people had any fun suggestions of things to add as well, please let me know if you have a fun idea and If i'm capable Ill add my example item of it!

Hi lovely people! I updated the design with a new more serious cage mast as a thank you for all people who subbed, I hope you all have a lovely day and if you wish to see anything added just let me know! :)

Glad you enjoy it! <3

At least a few parts of my ships will look good now. Cheers!

already subbed to it :D

A second pack is up, it features some interior items like beds, showers and toilets and smaller exterior items like cranes, aircraft catapults and random items beside a few smaller superstructures! I hope to see you there!

There will be a pack two, right now i am aiming to have it finished next week, (sorry life being in the way and its a lot more mimic heavy then this first one) and it will focus more on smaller superstructures and civilian / deck objects and interior items.

this is absolute art :D i hope there will be a pack 2

You two are flatterers ;-) Thank you so much! also I do not know who; but thank you for the few awards! first time ever for me haha :D

you are a godsend, im absolutely incapable of making a superstructure that doesnt look like a loaf of bread with windows in it, or a wedge.

Needs more attention, this is almost criminally underrated art!

No, thank you for leaving all kinds of lovely comments!

Thank you!

yw

Aw that's nice of you to say, But between us; That's what I think when I see over 90% of the things on the workshop ;-)

I wish i could build this goud

Just nice is good enough for me <3 thank you!
