    Hi folks,

    I'm struggling to figure out how to get an item onto the corner pointy bit of a small tower roof. Specifically the North-East corner. As per the brazier and dark eagle trophy in the pic below -

    I've managed through trial and error with a ladder/footstools to get onto the east wall, but I can't get onto that NE corner. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    (The pic isn't mine, just showing where I mean).

    Thanks folks.

    EDIT - Took a pic of actual issue I'm having -

    This may be dropped in the middle and z-axis raised to appear in the NE corner..

    Probably useful to post a pic of what I'm actually trying to do -

    Welp, apparently I don't know how to read a compass.

    Good luck!

    exactly, here is a visual using castle ladders: tile labeled "1" would be a castle east, then u place a castle north by clicking the part of the ladder thats on the tile marked "2". Then you can walk on top of the spire, play a macro to drop items at 0,0 until its to the desired height and lock it down. If the ladders put you too high, just drop 2 tables unlocked, chop the ladders, remove bottom table which will cause top table to fall directly onto the spire as low as it can go, then u have a table that u can set stuff on to raise it to the perfect spot.

    Thanks for the advice folks. That diagram has been invaluable @El Horno

    I've got it together, but now I have an odd 'layering' effect on the easterly oak counters -

    I've pulled it apart and rebuilt it several times in different orders and I can't seem to prevent it, but on my first attempt posted above it wasn't like that. It's like the heights aren't quite agreeing but the North and South edges of the dock do line up, and tweaking it only makes it worse. Makes no real sense to me.

    Am I missing something here?

    Thanks.

    Oh, this dock? Yes, it's "rickety" but Grandpa built it when he first purchased the place decades ago. I go out there sometimes and sit and remember fishing with him there. Those were the days.


    There... fixed.

    I think I might've figured this out - built some parts of it a tile too far South and then elevated it to compensate and not realised. That's why it's not lining up exactly, some of the counters are hovering in front of each other so the East counter edges are visible.

    Too late to check properly tonight but I think it makes sense?
