You will need to show that you have some skill in building. You can complete one of organics, structure and terrain (the more the better) to obtain Apprentice. This does not, however, mean a structure can be put in the middle of the plot, but that the structure can fill the plot, likewise with organics would have been used. With terrain trees and interest to it must be supplied where lifeform organics and structures. Effective combinations of multiple of these items will warrant an easier promotion.
​

Designer is a rank that the more seasoned builder, showing a good understanding of building overall, ought to be getting. Designers should be able to apply for the average Built Team and be accepted. For Designer, you are suggested to create two plots, but is able to be promoted from one plot, provided that the plot is, beyond doubt, the level expected of a designer.

Therefore an Apprentice will need to prove skill in at least two of structure, terrain and organics. This means a structure on an organic without terrain is acceptable. A terrain including organics (lifeform as well as plant) could also pass. This will however, need to be creative and not a “house on a hill” kind of deal. Everything must be well thought out and shaped.

Structure-wise you must be open to different styles of structure and how they work with the plot. If a structure is not perfect, but if it fits with what’s there well, then the plot could be considered acceptable.

Terrain-wise it gets simpler. Flat terrain with a cliff simply will not do. It is far too simplistic and does not show skills expected of a Designer. Terrain with much more interesting and skillful shaping is far better. Once again, if a terrain fits very well with a structure and/or organic, it would be considered a well executed terrain/plot - how the plot works and fits together is the most important part. This does not mean to say, however, that unsatisfactory structure terrain and organics in a plot that flows well is worth a promotion. Proof of skill must be there.

Organics is much simpler. It needs to look real, smooth (where required) and unblocky.

For Designer at least four different “items” must be seen. An item is a style of structure, terrain or organic. Therefore two plots, one with ice terrain and a structure and the other with jungle terrain and an organic would be passable. Two plots with the same type of terrain but one with structure and one with an organic would not. This does not, however, apply with merged plots. In this instance the level of each aspect must be slightly higher and some proof of each area be shown.
​

Creators would be expected to be able to apply and get into some of the top Build Teams. They must show they are creative and innovative with their techniques and able to create impressive plots that flow near perfectly. For Creator, it is expected that two plots be made using all three areas of structure terrain and organics, both being different styles. In the case of merged plots (unless the merge is ~450x450) another plot of a different style would be expected to be made - this will require Staff members giving more plots to Designers. Any details that don’t make sense (ships going into walls etc) would be a fail. Pretty much it :)​

These will always include multiple staff members and Admins. The general guidelines is that you should be “Build Team Quality”. Therefore, the requirements are pretty self-explanatory. Be brilliant. Every aspect of building must therefore be exceptional, and the plots must include each aspect of building, done properly - no corners must be cut, therefore full interiors, organics, no copy/pasted trees, structures, depth and detail. Creativity is a must for Grand Creator, and large buildings will most definitely need to be shown to display the required levels of both depth and detail, as well as showing an understanding of interiors in large spaces.​
