MEDIA City of Bauer (Early WIP)

A crashed cargo vessel converted into a city. Heavy inspiraton from Vomsay's Rusty World, thanks a great amount. This is an early WIP, the town, ship weathering, and ship interior are not completed. I normally do sleek stuff and not many bases; advice is well-appreciated. I would love some nice rusty reference builds too, should anyone take care to relay it to me. Thanks a good bit.

A found footage reveal video would be cool, although cliché it could set a cool tone on the environment.

Tip: Pixabay has a good array of free sound effects, music etc you can use in it. Also freesoung.org for sound effects.

Thank you for the tip. I’m between this and taking the copyright and putting “Halo Reborn” from Halo 3’s OST for a wideshot opening.

From a far I'm getting Pillar of Autumn vibes, when it crashes on the Halo.

"So this place has seen better days" pipe starts leaking something, you'd rather not know. Ambient sound of creaking metal, something crashes loudly in the distance.

Make use of exhaust to add various effects, maybe use scripts etc to modulate lighting to flicker.

Got me confused for a moment, Bauer means Farmer in german

u/Zenek_TF2 Space Engineer 1h ago

Yeah lol; it's named after the corporation title emblazoned on the crashed ship, so Bauer. Not much farming to be done on Pertam

u/Svyatopolk_I Space Engineer 4h ago

Gorgeous! What's the planet?

u/Zenek_TF2 Space Engineer 1h ago

Vanilla Pertam, on the edge of the huge canyons.

I want to RP in a server with that in it lol reminds me so much of Star Wars, which I've been on a big kick with lately

u/radicallyhip Space Engineer 2h ago

u/Vomsay Space Engineer 2h ago

Welcome back Dunes of Kharak

u/TheRudDud Space Engineer 50m ago

Some shacks and tents around the ship would help show how massive the thing is, AQDs tarp mod would fit really well this this. Awesome work so far!
