Need help with ideas!

[GamerBeast]

So my old world that you mightve seen in this topic: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/lets-see-some-bases-give-us-a-tour.5793/page-66

got corrupted, well the mystcraft age got corrupted.

So I made a new world and now I found this island :

But the problem is. I dont have one single idea for the main building of this island. I will make little building on the water like vietnam has those ocean villages etc. ( I think you get what I mean) but I have no idea how to design a building or multiple ones for this island. Any links for island builds or suggestions are appreciated! Was thinking about a chinese style base but I dont know...

Or this may help with the actual design aspect (Didn't quite read your post thoroughly before I replied before)

A lighthouse?
Secret "Bond" style underwater/underground base?
Tropical resort? Lots of pools, gazebos, palm trees, parasols etc.

EDIT: Ooh! Combine the last 2 and do something like from Evil Genius! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_Genius_(video_game)
Man I will have to something like that once! A fake front to keep people unaware, deadly traps to keep spies out and mysterious hightech labs inside!
Now where to get a large amount of Villagers in yellow jumpsuits and hard hats....
*Pinky to corner of mouth* Muhahahaha

make the port a port that you'd make. it doesn't need to look like a medieval port or something like that. you can go whatever way you want. you can make it incredibly high tech, or magical, or an abandoned port, the sky is the limit

Thank you for the threads! The second thread might give me an idea of what materials to use for some buildings.

Lovin the ideas, but i need some pictures of island FTB bases, or maybe a theme, because i want it to look somewhat modern but not too modern, because its a island, and you're all alone etc etc.

Secret submarine bay!

Secret submarine bay!

Made one back in 1.4.7 with RP2 frames and computercraft, retracting the gangplank, closing internal doors and then opening up the sea floor letting the water rush in to fill up the submarine bay. Too bad Unleashed doesn't have an inbuild frames alternative.

well you still have the tinkers drawbridges their pretty neat at doing things like that. only thing bad with them is the size limitation I think they only do 16 blocks but simpler since redstone signals are all you need.

Damn, I completely forgot about those! They completely slipped my mind after I saw them on DWs spotlight. They would indeed make the underwater submarine base easy to make. If they are capable of placing blocks under water.

Would also have been a lot easier to make the 4x4 gate in the castle I'm tinkering with. But not as fun as sticky pistons and computercraft

Also MFFS calclavia has a frame alternative too

I would go for a lighthouse and small port like thing... then have a secret tunnel to a undersea dome base.

Underwater base- like on the seafloor-- walls/ceiling 100% glass.
(use TiC [super clear] or AE glass [glowing glass that connects to normal stuff]. Obsidian or Abyssal stone window frames look good too)
