Posted April 27, 2020 i have often thought would be cool to have colored roofing materials like blue or green slate, rose marble (not sure rose marble for roofing). Always thought different colors of slate would look cool and a little variety to people build types and such. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 27, 2020 Yes please! The roofing mechanic feels overdue for some love and attention once more pressing matters are attended to. Bringing roofing options such as mentioned in the OP would open up a lot of options for various looks to customize our buildings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 27, 2020 More roof options like Tigers suggestion gets a massive thumbs up from me. Would certainly add some more varitey to buildings etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 27, 2020 And if we do get to a real overhaul on roofing, PLEASE do ceilings at the same time. Our fancy houses look like barns or storage buildings with their unfinished ceilings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) Valley, yes. Also, skillion. If, for instance, you have a 2 storey house say 3 x 2 and you want to roof over a 3 x 1 patio/verandah, it gets a gable hip roof that a) looks hideous and b) obstructs the view from the upper storey. A skillion roof type ("lean-to" I guess for those outside my local geo) would be much more aesthetically pleasing and practical. Instead of full-height, make it start at the same height as the bottom of windows etc. or something. Edit: Variable pitch, too. Just have a roof height specified in 0.5 increments from 0.5 to say 2.

Posted April 27, 2020 I guess we won't be getting Custom Orb any time soon 😁 It's very hard to build a Queenslander in Wurm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 28, 2020 Build the roof like you build arches. T arch -> gable peak Left and right arches -> left and right skillions Arch -> Hip Rotation of would be of great help. Not sure how to approach flat roof other than it being a "floor above" with possible new material types. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 1, 2020 i have always thought that the buildings are extremely lacking in the roofing area. also i'd like to see the ability to make ceiling tiles under the roof so u dont have the huge gap between the wall and the top of the building that just looks odd and unfinished. oh man this has gotten me thinking about a lot now i need to go make a new thread....

Posted May 12, 2020 +1 The more options the better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 12, 2020 +1 this is something that has been suggested many times by people in the past. Roofs are what adds character to a home. Gable ends, Hip returns, bullnose roofs, double gables. Gables are something we definitely need. I almost think they need to go into a "Roof mode" like setting like making a bridge. Where u customize the pitch of the whole roof i would stick with 2 settings 6/12 and 9/12 pitch and then decide on the edges of the roof if it will be a gable or hip profile. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
