In this video we share some of our favorite, mostly structural building tips to help make your builds in Conan Exiles look less boxy and more creative. These tips require no mods and we hope that builders who are new to the game - or those already in love with its building system, will find some of the tips helpful. While you might have seen some of our Building Showcases where we use several mods in order to create more elaborate structures, there is a lot which can be done without mods in Conan Exiles to improve your build’s look and aesthetic feel! Quick Links:
00:00 - Intro
00:26 - #1 Side-by-Side Foundations
02:00 - #2 Round Foundations for Bases & Towers
04:04 - #3 Bridging longer Gaps
06:20 - #4 Foundations: Fence Trick for Height
08:01 - #5 Non-Centered Pillars
10:07 - #6 Roofs & Awnings: Overlapping Edges

For the stepped foundation, one can also use fence foundations instead of the actual fences. These can be offset either slightly higher, or slightly lower, depending upon what is needed for the build.

When using the fence (or wall) technique to step up with foundations, you can make the steps walkable by placing fence foundations between the foundation pieces snapped at the lower position, similar to the step down technique. basically you are combining both techniques

Thanks a lot, that's awesome to hear! ❤ Regarding the big tree base which can be seen in the beginning, that's somewhere between K7 and K8. There are a few really great trees which have several bigger branches and other trees relatively close by.

Benn building complex structures in Conan for a while now and I still love those roof tips. However, if you are trying to build functional buildings that look as pretty from the inside as out, connecting those levels with stairs can be a nigfhtmare with either elements sticking through the floors or you creating "dead" floors to hide the problem pieces in a closed off space.

Does the overlapping roof technique influence stability of the structure? I've seen another technique, where you can place a pillar at the corner of foundation, but there was a note that it bugs out stability, saying that it is 100%, but actually breaking down when server resets. I wonder if this technique has the same effect, as I would like to build entire floor that is overlapping the lower one, but I wouldn't want to log in to the entire thing being ruined.

Ugh... why must I desire a Nordheimer style base so badly T.T
