Space Management - Terri's Gardening Tips

     Howdy ya'll, how is everyone today? Savvy and I were talking the other day about a problem we have noticed all over the spiral, from garden to garden; how to place objects that our plants like without having to worry about tripping over it and how to get all of the plants in the plot to see all of the objects without multiples. Savvy came up with a great idea that works...

The Wyrd House - Part 3 - Crafting with Savvy

     Hello everyone! Did you finish crafting your house last time? Easy peasy huh? I just love how creepy this house is and the purple water! My favorite color just happens to be purple. The only downside I have found with this property is that the houses are only one room and quite small, but if you're not tired of crafting just yet you could whip up some castle blocks. I found that the spider house fits 7 Floor-Ceiling XL Castle Blocks, 3 Floor-Ceiling LG Castle Blocks and a Stairs Wide Castle Block fit almost perfectly. If you want to fill the little gaps you will also need 7 Floor-Ceiling Sm Castle Blocks and 4 Floor-Ceiling Md Castle Blocks to create a second floor and double your space.

Castle Blocks...Again - Crafting with Savvy

     Alright, I don't know how much you guys have played with the castle blocks but I've realized that it takes a lot of blocks to make even a small extra building. Yes, the Midday Estate, Meadows at dusk and the Night Garden are bewitched to allow an extra 250 castle blocks inside and out but the castles pre-built already take that many or more! You can get elixirs to increase the amount of items you can set down but that only increases the amount total, not the bewitched castle blocks allowance. So if you don't want to spend a ton on elixirs the only solution I can think of is to use as many of the XL pieces as you can and try to avoid the small and XS where you can. My buddy Lloyd Fallingwater, you know, in the Shopping District, he pointed out some huge pieces that can really help you free up some space.

Castle Blocks - Part 2 - Crafting with Savvy

 
      After my previous experiments with castle blocks I decided to build the Midday Estate, maybe an entire house made out of the various blocks would be cool. When I got to my new home I began exploring, I didn’t like the house out front much so I tore it down, picked up all the pieces and started from scratch. I found that what is supposed to be a very simple process could become quite frustrating if things don’t line up just right. Nevertheless, there is something amazing about building a house exactly how you want it to be. Oh, you want a tower 6 levels high? You got it!

Castle Blocks - Part 1 - Crafting with Savvy

     
      In previous articles I have mentioned castle blocks, at first I wasn't sure about them. The possibilities are really cool but they seem to lack the personality that I was getting from using the tablet/marker combo. However, I decided that it was unfair to judge the newest items without giving them a chance first. Most of the recipes are fairly cheap and mainly use reagents that are easily accessible, which is nice. The pieces fit together with ease where as the markers had to be arranged in a certain way to form an extra room. Unfortunately the walls can not be placed at a diagonal and there are only two different styles.
