Add Arches / Curved Building Pieces - Ornate Arches etc.

3.4K votes

This feature would go in with the current shape build options, the idea is to give us the capability to make ornate ceilings with vaults and arcades. My thought is they would be ornate like the well blocks are. Currently we can do very little to make the ceiling look decorative.

Absolutely, and if possible, the ability to have diagonal Foundations to we can make hexagon shaped buildings so everything doesn't have to be square.

Or even let us create our own prefabs that we can then place with the ingame building system somehow

or just voxles that snap smooth on the down side to make arches

lol i agree. i just started my first major build project and i will say that in order to do the fine details i have had to go VERY big to make the voxel style blocks looks good. tbh it's basically the same as minecraft. it looks clunky when your base is like... 40x40x40 but once you get to max size you can do some impressive things. what i do think we need is faster terrain removal. lol i'm doing a imbedded build into a cliffside like many and opening up the interior to the 160cube size has been a NIGHTMARE so far.

maybe combine this with the triangle pieces request, in an architecture update, to allow for round towers?

cheers

We have all kinds of cubes, but I would love to build a circular tower, and presently the tools are so cumbersome having to try and do it manually I'd rather not even try, if you could add circular floors and walls so I could build towers that would be awesome. I know you already have the disc option for terrain so we need something similar in larger sizes for building materials and walls.

In addition to arched/curved prebuilt building pieces, add a toggle to the building blocks that lets them merge to a smooth slope once placed. Similar to how some beams, walls, pillars already merge with each other. That way we could freely make any smooth structure we want.

I'm all about more build types/variety. The more the better generally.

I would love to be able to build those two high windows in some of the pre-made buildings in game, they look gorgeous and they allow for taller builds without the window and door placements looking weird...

Yes. And door-less doorframes and pillars. And window ramps for a glass ceiling or greenhouse.

Having ramps/arches as additional pieces could be nice overall. We would need the corner pieces too.

Since they're voxel orientated, we could use them for stair rails or interesting wall cutouts.

Q
Would it be possible to have angled pieces? I know it might not fit in the voxel space, but having diagonals or being able to rotate blocks even at 45° increments would certainly solve the "rounded" shape problem.

@Ziack, things don't have to be square, you can build angled, it's just harder to do.

There are many tutorials for making angled builds in minecraft, the same concept can be applied to enshrouded, you should check it out.

I bet most of us tried to make a hobbit house. It's impossible to add round objects, and you end with some sawtooth things full of corners.
What about some material that would form rounded shapes? Even if you could use it for frames, replacing border materials with that one. So could use it as a frame around windows, as example. It should blend with other materials, but form rounded shapes when placed non linear, as the roof tiles or stairs, but it should create rounded shapes.
We could use it for columns, doors and windows frames, support beams... Or just decoration.

I entered a dungeon and saw arches and doorframes... I'm jealous. I want those!!

I am finding the base building to be very compelling and would love to see some different shapes or pieces that are angled differently.

What about also stained glass and regular glass windows as well.

yes! curved building pieces especially would be great. wizard builds need (circular) wizard towers!

I started playing this game for the building. anything that brings more building options to the game is extremely welcome

"Circular building recipe" (suggested by <Hidden> on 2024-01-31), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

As an idea to make more "nature" and round textures and buildings: you guys might think of an tool or building tool option where the player can mark a certain area and toggle between a selection of block behavior.
for example:
1. voxel
2. flat (for like diagonal spaces and round or round in another option)
3. uneven

Gothic arches please! They are also called Lancet arches.

I would love to have these as tall, thin windows.
Large castle gateways.

Gothic arched ceilings!

even turnable building parts to 45 and 135 degree angle would help a lot <3<3<3
