Roadmonkeytj Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) After the rats opened the Single pot still in Fuerte Unido, the drink quickly gained a loyal following of shopkeepers and alesmen ... Although it gained a tiny group of naysayers that seem to rate their cheep rum rather ... I digress. Construction soon began to renovate an unused warehouse in bastion to the main hub for Bru-Haha. Here is the sight you see as you come up road from the docks. You'll know your in the right place because we've had this special sign created ... The artist calls it a BoBs board ... We still don't know why he calls it that considering his name is Bill. Looking for a job ... Or to become a Bru-haha distributor? Then you'll want to head down the steps to the main office. Just head on in no need to knock. The office is finely furnished with the latest in office fashion. Our plant is state of the art and is now fed by coal instead of cut wood. Here is the coal chute and delivery door. We have built our warehouse doors at standard wagon level to aid in loading and unloading. Here you can see some of our secret ingredients being unloaded fresh off the boat from one of our suppliers mills. Our shipping clerk is a very organised. Here you can see both bottles and large barrels awaiting pickup as well as raw goods being stocked. With our new larger pots we are able to fill two racks of large barrels a day. Here you can see the mash pot up on the high platform as well as worm box on the left. The stills were build to sit ground level while the fire boxes were built lower to aid efficiency of coal delivery. Here you can see all the action. A worker stokes the fire on pot one while a new batch of mash is mixed. On pot two a worker is draining the mash pot into the main still. Due to the science that went into its development we know the exact temp to maintain the pot at to give you a high quality product The clock tower can be seen throughout most of the settlement and since its construction has been allowing the settlement to set their watches by it. OOC: this wil be licenced as a large factory ... Although the brick counters will clearly tell you its much larger. Everything was built in LDD to eventually be built in bricks ... There are no liberties taken (ok maybe a couple colors on elements as I didn't check color avail.) and everything is connected. Brick count is pushing 14,000 bricks. I built this to be viewable 360 degrees when closed. Has several sections that hinge open to view the interior. Originally the office was hinged but I later changed it to be connected by pins. This took me about two months to complete. Unfortunately I had to screen shot from LDD as bluerender kept stalling out and failing. Comments are more than welcome. Additional photos: This is from before I finished the tower and roof ... But it shows off the stills better. This is also from before the roof and tower were finished, but shows better detail of the filling process and of shipping. Here you can see it all opened up Edited July 12, 2018 by Roadmonkeytj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraunces Posted July 12, 2018 Amazing build. I love the details like firespitters and the clocktower makes it very imposing. Chapeau for this one, although I also like the first brewery you tagged in this post, which has the classic pirates vibe more. But this one is much more suiting for our Sea Rats capital.

Professor Thaum Posted July 12, 2018 That's a Wow !! for me... I love this victorian style Wonderful factory for our Bru Ha Ha... full of details and good stuff. With numerous good ideas... a truly amazing one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bart Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) Amazing job! This is much more then you showed in the sneak peaks ! I love the overall look and all the well thought details inside. *By my count this build should get Bastion to the next settlement level "Large Town" too. A fine build to celebrate that.

Darnok Posted July 12, 2018 Amazing! Absolutely amazing! The size and the details are stunning, as is all the action - it looks and feels like a working factory. Loving all those dubious bottles and snakes in the office - very fitting for the production of your vile poison! An excellent build, you can be proud of yourself!

Bodi Posted July 12, 2018 Impressive build, I like how huge it looks like, and the dark red brick bricks work well with the dark green roof. And it's incredibly detailed inside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LM71Blackbird Posted July 12, 2018 What a factory Roadmonkey! The two months of hard work really pays off! There are so many awesome details and cool things to look at. Just all around fantastic looking. Keep up the great work man! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pombe Posted July 12, 2018 People actually pay money to drink this stuff?!?! We discovered the plant that is used in the fermentation. You should be proud. Besides, it was good for our research funding. You stupid professor! When you made me drink this stuff, I was cast onto the mountain of failure and despair for a thousand years! BAD TRIP!!! The psychoactive effects are its main selling points. Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean that others won't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea that is the look I wanted to acheive a building fit for a capitol city ... The first BruHaha factory was on the edge of the jungle (with classic parts and pieces) lol it was also built to be played with where this is designed more as a static model that can be displayed. 17 hours ago, Professor Thaum said: That's a Wow !! for me...

The whole office is comprised of snakes from the door handles to furniture accents. The bottles are every variety offered by Bru-Haha. And Thanks ...

I find it simulates salt kissed copper well. 13 hours ago, LM71Blackbird said: What a factory Roadmonkey! The two months of hard work really pays off!

Mesabi Posted July 17, 2018 Excellent build Roadmonkey, I like the Snake Motif! Great job showing all the steps of brewing, the build is very realistic, and well done. Keep up the great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrlego Posted July 18, 2018 All round stunning build! The level of details is fantastic. What really made me look twice was the distilling apparatus - it's really well done. Some clever parts use as well, especially on the ornate table in the office. Great work all round and it's a pity Bluerender isn't playing the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spud The Viking Posted July 18, 2018 Great build! There are so many small details and ingenious designs here. The whole thing feels very thought out - from the coal chute to the office. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
