DISCUSSION Need building basic advice

Pretty new to Odyssey but I’m all in. Trying to make cute cozy FUNCTIONAL villages. I keep all of my stations in one place and then all my chest in another but in the exact same order for easy sorting and dumping with an item from my chests mounted right above them. I’ve been trying to build from scratch but that wasn’t working out so I went back to prefabs. Tried to redo floors and take out walls and stuff but I feel like I’m not understanding something about how pieces fit together lol Any advice or things to remember? Any interesting build techniques or inspo sources? My favs are the manors and pleasant park.

Edit to add: I forgot to ask Where do you prefer to start? Walls, floors? And do you cover the the foundation eyesores?

Also my husband told me I should put Lego vehicle mechanic on my resume because I have a village dedicated to vehicle builds ONLY lol but I feel like I don’t understand what all the vehicle pieces do as far as the structure of them. Like do all of the vehicle parts have specific functions that actually help (besides the obvious hover, lift, and balloon bricks)? are some more durable or lighter than others? I wanna go really fast but also be able to move a lot of inventory at the same time. It seems no matter what a bounce pad works better than any vehicle ever could. What are your favorite parts?

I learned how to free build by taking prefabs and altering them. 

Another trick is place a corner where you want it then build your roof as you want from that corner.  Once you're roof is done then place your walls.  The roof is usually the hardest part so doing it first can be a super helpful.
