Story of the hideout: In a medieval village at the start of winter, a man has been taken to the other side for tough questioning. "We don't know why the adults won't let us see him".

Story of the hideout: A settlement by the wilderness on a far away place. I wanted to make it look alien-ish while showing the advancements of a camp and its effects on environment. The hideout is mainly made of three sections with the original encampment and its hangar, the ongoing expansion and the yet to be tamed red pond.

Story of the hideout: An isolated shrine slowly taken over by its encircling lake and the spirits gathering inside. This is a small and functional - utilities are hidden in the outer circle - hideout that I tried to make look cozy and soothing despite being in a glacial environment and few colors.
Hopefully some of the effects aren't glitchy on other configs, water is great for the setting but was more importantly used to endarken the area and scatter lights while Stained-glass Windows' backsides were preferred over Blocking Volumes as they are slightly less dark. Sorry if weird things happen!

Story of the hideout: The city's filthy streets bustle with activity. Diverting from your usual route, you stumble up on a narrow alley at the far end of some forgotten street. At the end of the dark, stone-littered corridor you step over the ruins of a collapsed wall to find yourself on the precipice of a lush garden. Life blossoms at every corner.

■ The amounts can be sent through Bitcoin or Western Union depending on your choice. If these aren't available in your country, we will look for alternative methods. Bank transfer is currently not possible.
■ If you pick one of the rings as your prize, to ensure the rings fit your finger perfectly, you will first be sent ring sizers having the exact length of both rings. After you try the ring sizers and find the perfect fit, the ring will be specially crafted for you and then will be sent to your address along with the other prizes. If you have a chance to get your finger measured in a jewelry store having 7-9mm ring sizers, we can skip the ring sizer sending process and will start the process of crafting the ring immediately. Engravings can be done up to around 12 characters counting spaces(Can be lower if the size is small), all caps with multiple font choices you will be able to choose from.
■ Even though the prizes will be sent using the gift option, in some countries you might still have to pay tax. This is completely out of our hands, and we highly suggest searching for the situation in your country's customs first if you are willing to pick one of the prizes. You can always contact me and ask for info too, and I will do my best to help. You can find my Discord and Telegram support on https://ironhideout.net
■ We are mostly using solid boxes for shipping that can carry 50 kilos without even bending, but if any damage happens in the transfer process, just send me a picture of the damaged item and I will send a replacement as soon as possible.
■ Shipping of prizes takes between 2 weeks and 1.5 months. Shipments will be sent with tracking where you will be able to see each step of the shipping process. We will be covering the shipping costs.

■ We're using hideout files to record your entries. Not-unlocked/unplaced masters and missing guild stash spawn in random locations in hideouts. Please unlock all masters and hide the ones you don't want to not-visible places like rocks, walls, etc. Even though we remove the obvious-looking misspawns like these while recording, we might end up missing some. You can also finish your hideout on standard where all masters will be unlocked. If you are unable to unlock all the masters, contact me from Discord or Telegram support at https://ironhideout.net and I will gladly help you place and/or hide them before doing the recording.
■ Hideouts need to be uploaded to any sharing site such as Google Drive, Pastebin, Sync, Internxt, MediaFire, etc. with the final hideout file of your work. Sharing is part of this competition.

■ Console players are welcome to join the Iron Hideout competition! Creating a comprehensive YouTube video of the hideout is required since importing/exporting is not possible. We require the Character screen to be displayed at some point during the video, and we kindly ask that you don't set your profile to private. While recording the video, please ensure that there aren't any other players in the hideout. These are necessary precautions to enable console players to compete in the Iron Hideout Competitions for the first time ever!
■ Using the post template below is required. All required is posting your hideout to a file-sharing site and linking it here, and answering questions in the template message below. As we will be doing competition videos, there is no need to share a video. But if you like you can share your own too. Adding screenshots is allowed as well.
