I could certainly try that! I must admit the original plan for the statue was a little bit bigger, but building “hanging” parts is really complicated (you have to build “pillars” and then break them later) so I simplified the prototype. Next one will certainly have an internal section and be bigger, for sure!
I’ll add the bright eyes to my queue though, I’m currently drafting two new projects 
This post made me try to build as a “bridge” between two others … here is the result :
At night :
On daylight :
With some of the manual scaffolding needed:
I have then been wiped out by angry gobblins 
We are never going to run out of new ways to stack buildings on top of each other. I feel like the building editor is going to be really great on it’s own, but incredibly powerful in the hands of creative minds.
The fact that I can build a house on the ground or on a mountain or on a tree or on a house or (presumably) underground is great. It’s very emergent.
Wow, looks great! I once tried something similar (it was a two story building on a foothill corner where the second floor was larger and levelled with the higher hill) but I didn’t think about making it as a bridge, more like as a “mine entrance” (without the mine) and the game kept crashing since there were walls overlapping the mountain 
Never managed to finish it
Yours is an amazing concept! Gotta try it sometime 
Just saw these and shared them around the team–they’re awesome! Thanks for making my Wednesday morning.
Has anyone seen job above max height errors while creating multi-story buildings in the latest DEV build?
if you’re referring to building up to the “world height”, then yes, I think @jonzoid reported that here:
I never got any of the popup runtime errors, just was unable to build a ladder on anything above the tallest mountain level…couldn’t even place it.
mine is slightly different, I will be releasing a video today where I can not build a second story of a building and I consistently get error windows about jobs being above the max build height. It would build the posts; however not the walls.
I tried to bridge a gap once. It didn’t go very well. I placed ladders everywhere, having to wait for them to put a block over the gap before I could raise my ladders so that they’d place another block over the gap. Sometimes, I had to delete and rebuild ladders, as ladders would go unfinished when built from the top and bottom at the same time. I also ran into trouble when designing the floor plan - when I erased parts of the second floor, my villagers wold immediately start removing my stairs. But it worked for a time - until lunch time. They never worked on it again.
And with the ladders removed, for clarification:So, I guess I’ll just enjoy my fort with battlements and hope that the goblins don’t scale the walls.So i tried to get the highest possible tower without having to juggle with too many scales … Here what I did :
First build two 25x25 houses and two 23x23 houses … have to fight the “large roof causes lag and crashes bugs” through multiple saves 
:
Then I come with a pretty bridge between two 21x21 houses …
And so on up to floor 5 
:
And then the nightmare started … UI that won’t disappear, manage to save but even if savegame is created, it does not appear in the load menu, and corrupted savegames with the “store.cpp” messages that comes up as soon as I manage to make a displaying save … (BTW @sdee I have two savegames, one loading, one not with the store.cpp bug within two hours IG if you want)
So here where it crashes each time :
I’ll retry next update something maybe in the same vein (in peaceful mode, almost run out of wood on my platform) ! 
PS : I love the @Froggy 's mod adds doors and windows and all 
Wow, awesome building, even if it is crashing! I’m pretty sure we’ve never tried to build that high; we’ll add it to our list. Paging @ponder and @Tom!
you sir (or ma’am?) are getting dangerously close to being one of my favorite builders…
that is just gorgeous!
You guys are amazing. I’m really impressed! I’m working on a secret feature at the moment, but hopefully can get back to building optimizations, soon. I’ll look at grow-roof efficiency first.
I bet the people here will be unhappy when multi-story buildings are introduced as it will no longer be the challenge it used to be.
But we will be sharing our crazy building templates anyway! 
Oh, wow. Yeah, didn’t think about that… Well, not unhappy… but I’ll guess we’ll have a feeling of nostalgia, yes.
But worry not! I’m sure we’ll find new challenging ways to break the game 
Besides, I suppose that everyone around will always carry on this little pioneering pride on what we’ve accomplished
I will, at least 
Going to proudly wear my title as a constant reminder of the brave and dreaming people of Mountainside and how they discovered and unlocked the secrets of multiple stories for the whole community <3
Just wait until they start adding things like mining and water. I wouldn’t mind trying to make a giant galleon castle/house. Or one of these…
Japanese tekkousen, @Avairian?
Me want, Me want very bad.
{I artificially improved the quality of the video by bumping it to 4k as you’ll see at the start of the vid. YouTube bumped it back down making it look horrid.}
We start by looking for the infamous turtle and elephants that hold up the world or the hope of seeing the great wombat. Failing to find them we zoom in on our villagers who were promised the tallest studio apartment in the world and someday they would become famous across the lands. Others would join them and they would someday have riches galore. With their walkway across the sky into a mountain restaurant and then a leisurely stroll home in complete safety. And someday they would expand into condominiums.
The Building is 14 stories tall and is at max height as I can’t build a ladder any taller apparently than the max height of the tallest mountain.
