i got a summer job in a factory so i got the guts to buy this awesome game and I really like the idea of Stonehearth in many ways. I’m a RPG player, I have loved building since Legos and I love creating a story.
I planned to build a underground dwarf city with corridors, rooms and stuff, but the building tool is not used to build under surface so well.
And to just add simple wallpaper to my room, i had to make the room 9 cubes high instead 4 because otherwise hearthlings couldn’t build the walls that were 3 blocks or higher. So this is what I had to do:
The game definitely isn’t ready for underground cities yet. So far, they more or less have tunnel digging ready for mining. The current bunch of hearthlings are really above ground dwellers at heart, so they are more worried about houses than caverns.
Having said that, there will eventually be an actual dwarf civilization you can play as, so we can expect better support for cave living eventually.
Digging up is definitely difficult in the current game (and not really supported properly yet), but it’s possible. Check out this topic.
ya I have my hearthlings living underground as I feel it is simply safer for them I recently started putting roads in the caves but walls won’t fit yet next build I may take your idea and dig deeper so they can live underground properly
I was trying to make some hobbit holes, with wood lined walls and floors, and making it 5 deep, so they are not cramped (Hobbit holes are not wet or dirty, nor cramped, atleast for them!) but I really to not want to have to make them 9 deep! even doing slabs there are many areas where they don’t build, usually the top row. Be REALLY nice if the wall would just fit from 2-9 tall, and the hearthlings would actually build the whole thing. Guess I will have to start over and just leave a wall of dirt and cover what I can with wood…
Averest, I googled about taking a perk… … what perk? link to description you are talking about at least, please?
Also, in the game I was playing a couple days ago, walls had to be 9 (i think) units tall… I did not see how to install any walls underground, even if I put a foundation beneath them…
I appreciate comments, but if I knew how to build the walls underground at a height of 5, or how to remove the cramped thing, and build the walls at 4 even, I would not be here now looking for the solution. Knowing there is a solution is not what I am seeking. I would actually prefer at least a link or a hint on how to do it, please.
At the outset of your game you can choose one of three banners. The Banner of Vitality, The Banner of Strength and the Banner of Cunning. The Banner of Strength’s abilities are:
Mining gives 50% more Ore, Stone and Clay
Hearthlings no longer mind cramped spaces.
It’s a tradeoff, but it’s geared towards the underground lifestyle.
I see food for days, merchant caravan and money solves all problems… I do not see where you choose the banner… I am using the normal game updated by steam… All I can find via google is talk about the unstable 24.2, not the 23 I am on though.
Also, did not see an answer to my comment about the walls.
Yeah, I don’t think those banners are in A23 (and the new builder with adjustable wall height etc. is also not in that version). Most of what gets talked about on the forum here is for the latest unstable version.
