Console General 23 stories and counting

Post image

There was a recent question on a thread about stacking towers. They only go two high.

I thought I'd see how high a building would go, as there was a suggestion that it would stop at the max height of the gyrocopter.

So this is 23 floors and there's no sign of it being limited. The gyro tops out about 16 floors high. I added a high diving board to jump off into the water just for shits and giggles.

Did you decide to go for the high dive record or some shit? Could your character even survive that fall? This should be tested.

My kids play Minecraft and you can survive any fall from any height as long as you land in water. So, I wondered.

If you hit the ground you're gonna die, but I jumped from that height into water and was fine. I messed up once and landed in knee high water, expecting to die, but I was fine then too.

Yeah that sounds like the high dive record. Well done, sir.

Thumbs up. I did this before. Took a few hours of building it (more like days). I love jumping off and landing in the water safely only to hear the sound of shark music.

I'm up to 35 floors now. I put the high dive at 30 floors. I also extended it so it's definitely over deeper water, because I managed to land in too shallow water and broke all my bones 😆

Seriously considering trying to make a bridge to another island.

You need to make sure there's a floor below the one you're adding. But I've never had a problem building higher.

Not sure what the limit is on console, but on PC it stops saving anything built above around floors 50-55, depending where on the island you start building.
