Hi I need forging tips, I can make decent maps already. I just need help on geomerging and stuff that I don't know. I'm good at geomerging though. ex; i'm on foundry and I have a box and surround it with nodes or mancannons and put doors ontop and I merge the box into the ground and it goes straight for a couple times everytime I push the doors down and merge again. Then when the box gets really low and it gets all crazy and goes out of the map. People have made boxes into the ground that are so low and they are straight? how do people do that? If you can, show me on xbl so I can get a better perspective of what you are trying to tell me xD GT: sSENSE
Read this thread: http://www.forgehub.com/forum/forging-101/45944-advanced-merging-techniques.html I think it will help you so much with some of the things that you want to build. I recommend for the incredibly low boxes the teleporter under the map technique. Read about it and it will help you.
Make sure when you brace it you are bracing every single spot on the box so that there is no place for the box to slant to. Secondly I would definatelly use man cannon so that you keep it flat on the top. Thirdly if it is a really deep merge you can go under the map to brace it and it will continue to grow straight. Overall it is a hassle but that amazing geomerge is definitely worth it. If you are doing a really deep geomerge this should help!!!
I know what you mean... I also want to know how the geomerge was possible on Lao Tzu Pagoda I mean have you seen those angled walls? I would never be able to do that!
Same way, it just takes along time to get it. You could also attempt to make it a ramp, but instead angle it in. I can't find the guide right now, but search for Sharps guide to ramps.
Not just that but you REALLY need to use the save and quit method for deep merging. If you didn't already know, the way save and quit works is it restores the object to the original look of where you grabbed it but it'll move as accordingly to where ever the "tear drop" is. If you want some major geomerging help, then send me a friend request to xRedNormandyx. kthxbai
