      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too!

      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Houses

Okay, so straw beds with hide on them (personally I would scrape the hairs off first but eh) have already been added in, I think.

So that knocks away my sleeping bag issue... I still think the "energy" or "sleep" indicator should be added in.

Anyway, you guys have some ideas for new house building? I only care about aesthetics since temperature and stuff apparently doesn't matter. My main idea comes from this video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIJlFBAAjvE

Wattle and daub! Thatch roof! Wait that already exists! THATCH STAIRS OMG

You can actually use the thatch blocks for more than just the roof. I tend to build my first house completely out of it - just gotta be really careful with the fireplace. ;)

Whattle and daub blocks would be lovely!

Think if you build some kind of wooden framework first, just like in the video, out of planks (which would make it a metal age building block) or something else (sticks?) then combine straw and clay for the daub, then right click the whattle to create your building block.

I kinda wish that thatch blocks could be broken down by enemies. that would make upgrading from thatch houses a higher priority.

 

by the way, try making a celtic roundhouse! i always end up making those when i play, mostly out of stone for walls and thatch for roof but if i had whattle & daub, then that'd be my favourite material!

gotta bump that thread up!

 

NEW IDEA: COB BLOCKS (bet that looked like something else at first glance)

this would be a pretty simple way of building a little hut granted you live in a certain area. basically the idea is you just mix sand, dirt, clay, straw, and water to make a cob block, which can then be constructed in to some proper walls that you can finish off with (most likely) a thatched roof.

Now my concern is can you just plonk them down like that to build them? Does it have to dry or something? I definitely want some more house stuff.

The whole "use dirt for more things than just filling in stuff" has been on my mind for a while, but do be careful requiring sand and clay. Straw is renewable, so is water. Clay and sand are not, and clay is already kind of heavily used in the Copper/Bronze age. People really do need lots of it starting out for Vessels and Jugs, as well as Molds. Even later on, Vessels are kinda important as inventory management tools.

Yes, but keep in mind this stuff is just for the purpose of aesthetics. Maybe when cold and wind actually becomes an issue for health and comfort, it will be useful
