What do you start with when forging

[blaze1514]

When you forge, what do you start with?

Example: Floor, walkways, walls, ect...

EDIT: to make this more interesting, tell us why you start with the pieces you do.

 

[Berb]

A block 2x4.

 

[Wakko45]

I start with the floor that way I know I will have enough room and won't dip down into pre-existing geometry of the map.

 

[blaze1514]

I try to start with a what I am going to use as the wall, and then work my way around the map, then do the floor and finally the ceiling

 

[TrickierHades]

I start with a specific area for a map that I have had an idea about for awhile. Then I build around that.

 

[TravisTheShadow]

I usually start with the floor/ground and then put placeholder blocks and continue from there.

Jk I usually start building with an idea and if it works it works if it doesn't i scrap it

 

[Ormy96]

Normally I start with an idea. And by choosing the area to build my map in. Also by building the floor if any is needed. I also normally use 4x4 flat to start making floors IDK why I do it I just do and I change it if I don't like it.

 

[Smelnick]

Generally I fly out into the air, place a block and then just start adding blocks to make paths and rooms etc. Sometimes I make something cool, sometimes I end up scrapping it.

 

[iForge]

I usually start with a specific idea (a waterfall aesthetic, a cool looking base, etc.) and then work from there.

 

[Shiralai]

I tend to start with the floor or boundaries of the map. Gives me perspective on what i'm doing.

 

[FragsturBait]

I start playing with ideas I have for a unique play space or aesthetic, and work from there. Sometimes I go in with a bit of pre-planning, and I block everything out, then make passes over it, making small changes and refinements as I go. Sometimes I just load up forge and start messing around. For every idea I keep, I usually start and then scrap 10-15 ideas.

This is pretty much what I do.

Same here as well. I start with whatever part is the main idea/object that gave me the idea. Maybe it's a central tower, maybe it's a route or path shape, maybe it's an idea for incorporating a part of the terrain. Most of the time I have to scrap it or start over, but I learn something every time.
