TheTraditionalGentleman Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I have always wanted to make a very "magic" themed base for a Maxwell playthrough. However, it always turns into a regular base. Things I would plan to have in it would be A Shadow manipulatorMarbel and carpet flooringNightlightsA mandrake gardenAll stone wallsA shadow chesterAside from these though, do any of you have any ideas? Also, I thought it might be cool to build the base with a Maxwell statue inside, but it's tricky finding one that isn't in the middle of nowhere. Once again, any suggestions would be great.

Once again, any suggestions would be great.I have a Maxwell base! I put marble floors, carpeting with Endothermic fire pits scattered around. Also I have my shadow manipulator in its own hexagon shaped room in which I keep a chest with my night armor, dark sword, book, nightmare fuel and assorted gems. I put another room that has all my dug up trinkets in it...just though it looked like a cool grave digging trophy room haha. I put night lights around my base I have a shadow chester. I tried to find a statue as well to build around, the one of Maxwell, but it was in a horrible spot. Instead I built my base next to the portal.

And yes, I also plan to have a chest full to the brim with gold. Would you mind sharing pictures of your base? Another thing that I plan to put in is a teleporter. And a scale chest to hold all my valuables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyAzure Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Yeah I will see when I have the time to get on and take some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toasterman3000 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 A telelocator focus would certainly fit the theme. And if you're willing to put in the effort, make a Houndius Shootius and replace some of your stone walls with thulecite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applebottom Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Evil flower garden and meat effigies? Your idea sounds cool. I can barely organize my own base. Sapling and plants form crooked lines, turfs are uneven, stuff scattered on floor... haha) Post pics of your Maxwell base once you finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTraditionalGentleman Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 The houndius shootus and evil flower garden would be great. I don't think I'll add meat effigies though, just because it would drop my already tiny health to even less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyAzure Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I have one effigy, its not so bad. I just keep tons of dark armor on hand, that stuff is the best!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just keep tons of dark armor on hand, that stuff is the best!.Alright then, I'll have to do that. I also plan to get a bunch of broken clockwork body guards We really should compile a list of everything an ultimate Maxwell base should have. It could even be a challenge. Maybe if we put it in a certain order to achieve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyAzure Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Clockwork Knights? How would you do that? Hmmmn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Letter W Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I don't usually bother with walls personally, but a crapton of fireflies in Maxwell themed bases are a nice touch in my opinion. ignore the turd i was in the process of reorganizing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyAzure Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Do they stay where you let them loose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTraditionalGentleman Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Clockwork Knights? How would you do that? HmmmnBy going to the 2nd layer in the caves. If you put gears (I believe it's 3) in a pile of broken closkworks, it should spawn a friendly clockwork creature that is an ally for life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Letter W Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Do they stay where you let them loose? Sure do! It's handy in that sense since you can make emergency night paths with them if you choose to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTraditionalGentleman Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 The fireflies are a great idea. It looks fantastic too. I've started my maxwell base, but it isn't as open as yours. It is going to have different rooms for different things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellojoe Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Yeah, I find I always try to put 2 or 3 fireflies around my firepits. Thus, if I'm cutting it real close, there's enough light to see to click "Add Fuel" before they wink out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyAzure Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I think I will use them for the dramatic effect, I already have a miners hat and lantern so I always have a light source on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummbar7 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I think for it to be the "ultimate" maxwell base, it really needs to have the statue, or the maxwell graveyard, or some other similar setpiece in it. Might have to do a lot of world hopping. One of my favorite things about Maxwell is you can quickly dig up all the graves in the world. I don't know if any of the gravedigger items are 'maxwelly' per se. Dessicated tentacle? teeth? My personal favorites are rocket, robot, and garden gnome. Frazzled wires if you have a 'workroom' where the floor is littered with gears & wires. Probably also need a pretty large room full of tophats, houndstooth vests, tams, and walking canes.

You know, plant some evil flowers around the statue, etc. It would be like the pigs were your subjects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyAzure Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Depends. Are you making a jab at his age?Personally I think most the things fit in with his base. I like the little rocket and teeth, wires and such. Hmmm with all the ideas though I am thinking about starting a separate file just so I can build a base next to a Maxwell statue, I couldn't on my current one as I mined the marble to make a suit. Or maybe right next to a bunch of graves? Maybe have them in my backyard lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTraditionalGentleman Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Just watch out for mole worms if you leave those things on the ground. I've seen many a gnome go MIA around those moles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
