place this onto any foundation or pillar & it will create offsets that allow us to stack ceiling & foundations
- the +/-8 offsets can connect to the starting height & the +/-16 offset can overlap ceilings!
- it works any angle, even upside down!
PS: this can also make sunken dedi plates & stack fridges & co, by adding a quarter ramp to the +/-16 offset!, its all you need!
this is my first & most powerful template here, sooo

This is a medieval-style windmill that uses the CKF utility windmill. The template hammer does not recognize the utility windmill as a selectable structure, so it will need to be added separately. There is a half pillar on the sloped roof at the top that the windmill attaches to. I used the Gothic custom cosmetic and Amberviel for the stairs, but the skins are not needed. You can use the walls of a similar style available in the CKF mod.
this creates 2 (4) outward facing 90° ceilings offset by 8 each (16 is needed to overlap/stack & 8 can reconnect to the original position)
(its the tool i used for the Twin Repli!)
just build a pillar down , snap this to it & bring 2 of these ceilings up there ( ceilings = walls , so as long as you can build cubes, you can bring both sides to the right spot)
you can glue them to any ceiling if you build a 90° pillar + a beam snapped to that pillar "up there"
i guarantee it will stay up on official after removing the scaffolding (there are other pieces that can glue this, but pillar+beam WORKS reliable!),the game needs to think there is a "foundation", so it needs a 90° pillar & the 90°beam on that pillar can then connect to other things (like any normal ceiling)

The 48 sided Anywhere Circle
This allows us to create a 48 sided Circle ANYWHERE!
And i mean anywhere!, any hillside/mountaintop/over canyons/underwater/wherever ... all this requires is around 3 foundations worth of space & any form of temporary support, large enough to let this ~15 diameter ring autobuild itself!
- just place a foundation wherever you want this circle
[looking in the direction, where you want the circles center]
& snap this template to it (just make sure you have the extra space for the 3 thatch foundations/angles next to it) ...welll and the extended/temporary support build for the ring!...
- i used 9x11 foundations on the screen, but you can support this however you like ofc! (it doesnt has to be pretty, its just "scaffolding" , as you can see on the "cliffside screen")
- now pull down the walls & catch them with pillars or foundations
- if you want it to be all one build, you need to add pillars on/or below each wall corner anyways, so all sides will be connected
- pick up all thatch & the "dirrty support" you build for the ring
- choose any of the four "triangle circles" as floor plate , just build a ceiling (with clean foundation/pillar support) over the entire ring & afterwards build the walls "through" the floor, that way you have a closed outer wall & a legit/standard floor (there are some ceiling corners visible outside, but its the best we can do without "getting fancy")
- or just build a square plate of ceilings, i guess...
- if you wanna be fancy, use my foundation stacker & lower your floorplate by -16 (so you can stack ceilings) then you can have a fully smooth outer rim/look & hide your floorplates pointy/uglyness inside, under a rim of small ceilings on your rings walls (like i do in my base & how the 48sided House-Template is designed to do)
its also the exact same mechanic/stack i build by hand to create the "48 sided Round Ocean Platform Pool" !
[Four 12 sided triangle circle plates & i just place 1 central wall for each side]
i honestly got tired of having to rebuild this whole thing, every time i wanted to build on an interesting spot, so i thought "ill do it ONE LAST TIME" & here we are!
...truly hope to see more rounded bases on the arks!...

this builds the largest possible circle the hammer allows! (if we try to pick this up anywhere else, then the central pillar, the opposite side is out of reach)
a full 96 sided ~30.5 diameter circle (including the 48 and 24 sided rings)
PS: i uploaded the individual circles as well!, this just has em all in one
this places four 90° Foundation around a central Pillar
the foundations are turned clockwise & then flipped "nose down"
if this is glued to a 90° Foundation, it will give us normal back & even upside-down! (wich means, this tool lets us freely flip back & forth, perfectly aligned!)
all these angles can be interconnected & held up with pillars & beams, at any angle!
enjoy
This places a free standing vertical 24 sided small-wall (triangle) Ring
i made this around a year ago & used it (or as basis) for every "arched" build i did so far!
the underlying mechanic is scalable to any size (even to make the 96 sided circles, all use the same logic)
- i recommend to snap this to a "north facing" foundation (same as you just doubleclick one into the world) or it will snap weird&sideways, because of small foundations!..... #arklife
- just make sure its placed high enough, that the full ring is above ground & this will build! & then add the lowest missing wall to close the ring ( ! its missing, so this can only build itself the right way ! )
- the 2 foundations give you the option to have the ring either standing flush with the foundation grid,
- or "16 offset" infront, so walls & "everything" can be build "overlapping" (any evtl gap between the ring & the wall can be closed by a rim of pillar beams & also makes it look better tbh)
now u can remove all the thatch & for example turn it into a gate, by extending the vertical walls down, catch them with a (small) 90°pillar each & then removing the lower half of the ring (thats how i build the gate btw!)
the foundation height is the same i used for the gate & stargate & co , its 3 walls(cellar gate) + small ceiling from the rings upper rim
what you guys are doing with this is up to YOU ...
PS: since this ring only needs the 2 lowest pillars to "see ground" to auto-build itself, its also possible to glue this to an off-angle foundation ofc^^

The Wall Stacker
this creates 8 outward facing foundations, offset by 8 & 16, enabling free stacking of walls (by 16) & (re)connection of the offsets(by 8)
its basically the wall-version of the foundation/ceiling stacker
