Hi, how’s it going. I suggested this over a year ago on the steam forums, but after watching the building overhaul desktop tuesday, I feel it is time to bring it up again: Every block in the game should be put into one of four categories: Foundation, Floors, Walls, and Roofs These categories shoul…

Ya, just to illustrate the frustration I have with the current building format, I recently tried to build a multi-room, multistory building. But the freestanding walls are useless. Not only can they go only a very short distance, but they also mess up roofs. Most of the time, I make interior walls o…

Have you seen this devstream about the new buildingsystem they are working on @Ketsen_Bacque ? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/150514968 I agree with your ideas and i am sure that we will se something along those lines in the “soon” near future :jubilant:

For a work-around build in this order 1 Floor: Foundation > Exterior walls > Roof > Interior walls 2 Floor+: Foundation > Exterior walls > Second story > Exterior walls > (repeat last two steps for more floors) > Roof > Interior walls And actually for best results I’ve found building a hollow ‘sh…

replacing terrain will be a thing (on your last comment) when they add the geomancer class which will specialize in altering the terrain and controlling magical golems.

The Geomancer won’t be coming for a while, probably a long while. It’s ridiculous to wait when all they have to do is put an existing block, that already exists and functions as it’s supposed to, in the build menu. And, honestly, I’d rather they improve the building system before adding anything els…

@lionsilverwolf Thanks for the suggestions. It’ll have to do for now I guess. Nice house.

@Ketsen_Bacque No problem. I’m thinking of putting up a tutorial for the current system to hold people over until the new system is implemented. Also the terrain slabs mod works great for refilling while the geomancer is away.

There’s always that one mod that adds blocks with terrain colors into the building editor, though they don’t function as terrain (i.e., you can’t farm on them.) That might be a deal-breaker, but I believe the team claimed that that feature was actually impossible to do with the current setup. The o…

Ya, guess I’ll have to live with that mod for now. Bummer you can’t farm on them. I just don’t get it though, they should have programmed each type of voxel separately. They should have the terrain voxels programmed so they are always able to be farmed on. I don’t get how complicated they programmed…
