Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) Alright, the first thing I notice when I try logging in is, there's completely no documentation whatsoever on one of the major (and coolest) features in 1.0, and thats, yep, you guessed it......House building.Understandably, wiki hasn't been updated yet, so i hope this thread can help consolidate all your current knowledge regarding houses and their new features so as to avoid confusion when building your dream home. (probably good copypasta too when someone decides to edit the wiki)FloorsWooden plank floor-Hammer/mallet, uses carpentry-1 plank to start, 10 additional planks-1 small nails to start, 2 additional small nailsPottery brick floor-Trowel, uses paving (successful at 22.8 skill)-1 pottery brick to start, 10 additional bricks-1 mortar to start, 10 additional mortar (contrib. by ianrose)Stone slab floor-Trowel, uses paving (successful at 22.8 skill)-1 slab to start, 2 additional slabs-1 mortar to start, 10 additional mortar (contrib. by KyleBooze)Marble slab floor-Trowel, uses pavingStone brick floor-Trowel, uses masonry-1 stone brick to start, 10 additional bricks-1 mortar to start, 2 additional mortarSlate slab floor-Trowel, uses paving-1 slate slab to start, 2 additional slab-1 mortar to start, 10 additional mortar (contrib. by Karellean)Floor comparisonsStone brick vs. pottery brickLeft is stone brick floor, right is pottery floorhttp://i.imgur.com/ZxGjR.jpgStone brick vs. Slate slabCompleted FloorsSlate (The brick Like Floor Below)Stone Slab Floor (The shiny pattern Above)For 3 Slabs and 11 Mortar vs what the slate cost... You can guess what Ill be using...Full comparisonRoofsWooden shingle roof-Hammer/mallet-1 wooden shingle to start, 20 additional shingles-1 small nails to start, 2 additional small nailsSlate shingle roofTrowel, uses pavingPottery shingle roofTrowel, uses masonryThatched roofHammer/mallet, uses thatchingFencesIndoors-Very little info at the moment. It would seem indoor fences can only be built outside an actual building (irony) so imho they can currently only be built on upper levels as balconies.Wooden fenceWooden parapetLow wallStone parapetStone and iron parapetTall wallIron fenceOutdoorsCrude wooden fence-Appears to be bugged at the moment, simply planning the fence with 1 shaft creates an impenetrable fence called "unknown wall type -13"Stone and iron parapet left, Stone parapet right. Both take 15 stone bricks but no iron, strangely enough.Building materialsConcrete-1.5kg Lye + 1.5kg Mortar = 3kg ConcreteSlate shards-Mine from slate vein. Slate shingle -Use chisel on slate shards, nets 15kg Slate shingle. Slate Slab -3kg Concrete + 20x 15kg Slate shingles = 80kg Slate slabPottery Brick-Use hand on clay(>15kg), nets 15kg Clay brick.-Place Clay brick in a fire.Pottery Shingle-Use hand on clay, nets Clay shingle-Place Clay shingle in a fire.Wooden Shingle-Use saw on plank(>0.3kg), nets 0.3kg Wooden shingle.Notes:-No more building on slanted tiles. All buildings MUST be on flat ground.-Note that you have to create a floor plan below you before you can build a roof. Do this by using a hammer/mallet on a floor and Plan>Floor below, then Plan>Floor above/Roof.-The new floor plans are different from floor tiles, which will be overridden once you complete building on that plan.-There are NO action timers for destroying incomplete floors or roofs, so be careful where you click!-Ladders are generated from open floor plans as soon as you finish building them.-There is currently no way to shift completed furniture up and down floors. They can only be hauled up in their incomplete forms.These are my observations from the first hour in 1.0, so the knowledge I have is pretty sparse atm. If you have any new knowledge on multi-storied housing, do share, and I'll add them to the OP. Thanks! Edited December 15, 2012 by mrcrowz 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 13, 2012 Pottery brick floor:11 pottery bricks, 11 mortareach pottery brick uses 15 kg of clay (activate right hand and use on clay) and must be fired in a forge/oven/campfire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 13, 2012 Aye most of that people who played on test know, also a maul was required for destroying unwanted plans and such. Course the main thing atm people are figuring out is how to create the new basic materials required, when the ensuing live problems are not being debugged and patched.Things are still pretty new and hectic before anyone gets around to doing wiki articles. Rolf just threw in a bunch of shiny new balls, so we gotta play with em first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) Pottery Roof[05:28:24] You see a roof under construction.

Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) Try a leggat, needs nail and shaft as I recall to make.Made one, no go. says I don't have the skill to thatching skill for that high level. when using hammer, using leggat says I need the right tool, trying tool on both reed fiber and grass gives no craft optionWith Leggat: [22:35:19] You need to activate the correct building tool if you want to build that.With hammer: [22:36:50] You need higher Thatching skill to build at that height.

Posted December 13, 2012 Are staircases no longer used? mine is still just a bag sitting on finish floor with open floor above. it stuck a ladder in instead.Staircases aren't finished yet, the ladders are temporary until stairs work, or maybe as an alternative.

Can't figger out the tool since you can't do anything on reeds or grass with it and need a hammer to make a thatched roofOn 10/4/2012 playing on test server, with a 32ql leggat, 70 thatching skill, and 68ql mixed grass success chance to make thatch was 22%. Test server uses epic curve so that 70 skill is like 99 on freedom. If you not getting an option to make thatch when using leggit on mixed grass, then I'd guess they decided it should be hard to make thatch constructs.

Posted December 13, 2012 I'm not seeing any options to make metal floors. I tried a hamer, trowel and mallet. I got 95 BS and 78 smith so skills shouldn't be an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 13, 2012 70 skill? that is stupid. Thatched roof should be the easyest and cheapest to make. And how do you get 70 skill with the only thing you can make now seems to be roofs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 13, 2012 Please keep in mind that was test server 2 months ago...but yea I agree thatched should be the easiest type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 13, 2012 Also, trying to make a thatched roof with legat active gets you: [00:45:55] You need to activate the correct building tool if you want to build that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 13, 2012 [08:51:36] You need higher Paving skill to build Slate slab roof.Tried to make a slate shingles roof.
