Posted July 25, 2018 can I ask why we do not have Log Cabins in game. Seems a logical addition really. Logs or felled trees and mortar. Easy Peasy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 25, 2018 Mostly because up until last year we were limited on wall types, and then issues with how it would render at corners and be seamless in it's placement. It's a great idea, and one we'd like to see in, lots of things just pile up in the way (also, tar would be more logical with the logs, along with pegs) 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 25, 2018 Good idea. It is really good for players when a senior member of the team responds in the way that Retrograde has here whether it be affirmative as in this case or to simply say sorry no can do! Thank you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) +1 It shouldn't really need any mortar type material. Maybe tar used on a finished log cabin wall to seal and protect the wood. But most log cabins don't need a mortar type material in RL. 10 logs per wall or 5 felled trees and a decent amount of tar should be all that's needed.

Posted July 25, 2018 +1 And then, and then, and then can we add Tree houses? Lop off the top of a Chestnut or Oak, stick a log cabin up there with a rope ladder and some rope bridges connecting them? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) +1 For the log cabin and then... +1 for tree houses as well... Like please please please... only I would love to do both log cabins in the treehouse as well as something like this... Edited July 27, 2018 by Selenity 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 6, 2018 I don't know if I'd want them to require tar, if only because I see log cabins as something that are easy to build out in the woods but requiring a lot of materials, sort of like palisades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 16, 2018 Big +1 But construction should be of logs or felled trees with clay/grass mixture to be more in keeping with realistic and traditional construction methods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get the realism but hear me out. Clay - used in mortar and almost every construction project from towers to benches Tar - you burn it, floorboards, misc things like boats. Imagine you are out in the woods, and want to make a log cabin. Where is the clay? you think. But there is tar nearby! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 19, 2018 I will accept that compromise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 19, 2018 Perhaps a peat / sod roof to go with it? Not as a requirement, but as an option. Spoiler 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
