There were a ton of builds in the dock themed building competition last week and I was impressed with the was people really thought outside the box!

Here are the top three:

But the one that took home the prize, was StripySocks'"Skyship Docks"

I have a feeling that the photos don't even do this build proper justice! Looks incredible!

Congrats on getting your name added into the game and the free soundtrack!

So what's this week's theme?

Building Competition 11: "Hidden Garden"

Today we're going to try and go small, or not, up to you!

But this week's theme is:"Hidden Garden"so get your green thumbs out and let's plant some... well, plants! Secret plants!

How It Works

Theme: "Hidden Garden"

Build a little garden, greenhouse or some kind of land of plants, and share it with the community!

Pick a suitable map from the story or the creative mode, and build whatever type of garden you'd like using either the creative mode or story mode! Doesn't really have to be secretive, to be honest.

How To Win

Judging will take place on Discord where you post 1-3 images and a little description to the #submissions channel. We'll do a community vote based on how many trophy emojis your submission gets!

What Are The Rules?

  • Post your submission before Sunday, May 10th

  • Only one submission per person

  • Build in creative or story modeon any map! (just make it garden related)

What Are The Prizes?

The winner of this competition get's a soundtrack key!

The top three builds will have their name immortalized in the game forever!

[dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2434600/ShantyTown/"]Then, head over to to the Discord channel and submit your photo along with a brief in-world description of your location in the #Submissions channel! Explain your garden and what makes it special!

The competition ends after 1 week! (May 10th)!

Hints: not all the plants are actually in the "plants" section of the creative mode!

Wait, where's my update?

I'm still working on some fixes for the creative mode save-load issues that are happening on longer builds. I need a bit more time, and didn't want to rush some issues.

Also, I'm refactoring some systems so I'll have more flexibility to add more colors in the future!

Enjoy!
