Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

Been playing this Infinity world for a few months now off and on. Found what seemed like a large island, until I started filling it up. Currently doing some terraforming to add a few "acres". Here's what I have so far. Some building are just decorative, but most are set up with different mods in them.
And here's the map.

Very nice. Like that you stuck to the same theme for the whole island(although the big building out the left stands out a lot). Also love the plateaus. Always makes for more intereting builds than just flattening everything out.Been playing this Infinity world for a few months now off and on.

It is hard to see from the image, but looks like a few of the houses got Carpenter's Slopes as roofs. Why not give it to all of them? Barn would look AWESOME with Collapsible blocks.
Wow this one is incredible. It looks really pretty in the mountain.Here is mine, found a nice verticle wall leading up to a jungle, river below and forest on the other side. This was the Magic pack and I have since abandoned it for a modified Direwolf20 pack.
lol the member who posted that was last seen Feb 18, 2013. Not to mention that build is like on one of the original pages
i just realised this myself as well. Oops, I just clicked on the thread and started looking at the buildings
I always use the terrain when I build. I have to agree that completely flat towns look odd.
The big building on the left is my power plant. When I built it, the only thing on the island was my base building(the basalt brick/dark oak slab roof up near the church) The rest of the island was wooded and I honestly didn't plan this far ahead or expanding this much. Been scratching my head a little on what to do to make it less ugly. The center needs to be that large because it houses the a Draconic Evolution energy storage multiblock. It has around 250 billion RF in it and I don't want to lose it. As far as the wings of the building, two of them have Big reactor turbines and 1 houses ore processing and auto crafting. I thought about sinking it in the ground further so is isn't no obnoxious, but rebuilding all the systems in the building has kept me from doing it thus far. Need to figure out a way to make it nicer without rebuilding it.
Carpenter block roofs are coming. I actually ran out of wood. I am making 46k rf/t, using around 115 AE channels, can autocraft pretty much anything I need, and still haven't setup a tree farm lol.
Maybe you can make the main part of the power plant into a silo. The part that houses the Draconic energy sphere that is. A silo would sort of fit the style of the rest of the island. And then yeah perhaps do the rest of the heavy tech underground. Perhaps with little hidden trapdoors here and there to make it appear like the idyllic farming village is a front for this hightech bunker facility
Actually the funny thing is, I like the power building. Wrap it with some stone, so it looks like it's built in the ruins of a castle.
Here is something I built a while a go
If I am correct, this is from a Thaumcraft survival thingy I was doing with a few other mods. Sadly this is the only screenshot I could find :/ If I am correct, to the left, was my Work Shop/Storage house. To the right was my Botania Garden while it was still WIP. I remember getting to about mid game, before the world got corrupted. Which is a shame because I remember this world had some of my best builds that I've ever made in survival.

This next base/house that I built made me learn a very important lesson. There really is too many carpenters blocks. My entire computer will lock up and possibly crash when ever I loaded up the world. These are some screen shots I took before I it got to the point that my world is in now. ´ ▽ `
As you can see, I used Chisel and Carpenters a lot in this build. Also I put in a creeper face window where it's just planks and was going to be used for some of bigger multi structures in mods like Thaumcraft and Ars Magica.
Here is the archway. And yes, those are Quartz Party blocks ;D
Here is the entrance. The room to the left was going to a basic storage/crafting room with un automated machines, to the right was going to be used for Tinkers' Construct/Metallurgy type things
Both rooms looked the exact same
Over here was going to be my automation room. This is where all my ores would get processed, as well as any basic automation that didn't require AE. Underground was where all of the autocrafting was going to happen.
Up stairs was going to be mostly Thaumcraft and maybe some Aura Cascade and Botania.
And finally, a nice balcony view~
This build was still work in progress, but because the roof used so many Carpenter's Blocks that this world just entirely freezes my computer (As of me taking these screenshots, the roof wasn't yet completed). It even crashed because Minecraft was using so much of my CPU, just trying to render them all. It isn't entirely Carpenter's Blocks fault though, because Journey Map + Mo Creatures was also taking up a lot of CPU as well. I tried uninstalling Carpenters Blocks as well as the other mods that could have been causing lag, but I still can't enter this world. I couldn't even enter the world with just the mod's I've used to build this house, (minus Carpenter's Blocks of course) Oh well, at least I got the screen shots x3

It can cause even the best computer to do a double take.
Here's what i have currently:
This is my base on the outside. Lets fly trough the upper window!
This is pretty much the living room. Serves no purpose except for looking homely.
I needed these so much...
When chests were still a thing, i used to store stuff here. Crazy, right? Thank god for the awfully boring applied energistics 2!
Room for pimps.
This is where the magic happens.
This is where the REAL magic happens!
For emergency's
Down to the LAB!!!
Decided to make more creative use of the carpenter's blocks. I really like how it turned out, what about you all?
For 9/5 employees. Somebody has to do it.
I finished this big room just today. I need some help with it, because i have no idea what to do with it
Behind the desks in the lab i'll probably create a hallway that leads to mob farms as soon as i get the wand of dislocation. I'll also upgrade the ME-system, and once i'm done i'll show you guy's the improvements if you want!
I could also use some more ideas for projects. Maybe something with computercraft? I've been wanting to get into lua, but i could really use a good reason to.

Pretty cool. A bit random but cool. I like where you were going with the lab but it looks almost unfinished.
It does look pretty empty at the moment, and it still has to be lit a bit better. I'll look into that, thanks!

But I simply cannot fathom how you can spend so much time on details and visuals and then have Torches EVERYWHERE ruining it completely
Use some Magnum Torches to prevent mob spawns or hide Torches in the floors/walls/whatever with microblock Covers.
