Documentation For New Multi-Storey Houses

Wood Shingle Roof needs to updated as follows:

Activate Mallet on floor select Plan > Roof. Then on Roof select Wood Shingle.

1 plank and 1 small nails needed to start.

10 planks and 2 small nails to complete.

11 planks and 3 nails per section now. Examining now acurately shows progress and current QL.

Currently a bug according to Saroman

[16:00] <@Saroman> bugss

[16:00] <@Saroman> of course they should need the newly added shingles

[Saroman 1,341]

Just tested, they use shingles for me?

E: can use both shingles and planks

[Raycg 278]

Thank you wurm team for makeing this possible

It would be interesting to see what all the stone buildings would look like using the old textures. I am just not a fan of the large multistory stone buildings not sure what it is about them.

I can see one that that stood out to me after looking at the pictures above: the wood at the top of a level that looks like a band around the building. Perhaps if that was changed to something else when doing multistory, or made to be smaller I'd like completely stone multistory houses more.

Yeah, I noticed this right away after making a parapetted 2 story gatehouse. The wooden band just ruins the castle feel the stone walls should give.

[Wiro 370]

Maybe an alternative stone wall with the same materials?

[Vorg 5]

yea, the wood band needs to go where stone continues up

[Kegan 3,926]

I have been trying to tell them about the wood trim for awhile now but they just don't care about my opinions i guess..heh

Edit: The lower stone with the wood on top looks nice thought so that is what i am using until we can make proper stone towers without the wood trim messing it up.

yes i would like the wood gone too but still is not too bad.

Any info on the skill required to build multistory houses yet ?

I read some figures here and on the wiki, but it would be nice to have a planner tool like we have for the old houses.

I'm at 66 carp and would like to plan a house of at least 6 stories. 9 would be better but if it's too much of an effort to skill up, I won't bother. Is 80 carp the right skill to plan 9 story houses ?

Thx

nobody seems to know, and we're not going to until people start posting their max height, and carpentry skill.

Does anyone know how to build high-ceilinged houses? I've heard time and again that it is possible, but nobody has as yet demonstrated it and although I've seen pictures, it doesn't seem to be possible.

[WesncIsMe 492]

Apparently you need more than 26 paving to do stone slab floors over 4 stories(I was able to do the flooring but not the upper flooring for slabs, brings me to halt)

[Skatyna 432]

Pottery brick floor:

11 pottery bricks, 11 mortar

each pottery brick uses 15 kg of clay (activate right hand and use on clay) and must be fired in a forge/oven/campfire

So that means that roughly we are talking about 100 clay per floor tile only? Seriously? This must be a joke i hope...

I think it goes planning 3 floors one above the other, building first one and last one (and the middle one if needed), and then destroying the middle one (or a plan if allowed)

Yup gotta build a floor and then destroy it haha. Good time to pull out that skiller hatchet and knock some trees down.

[Vorg 5]

no, just have to plan the floor to build floor/roof above, then remove the lower plan

[Skren 19]

Stone slab floors require less than 23 paving. Slate slab floors require 30 paving.

Also:

Slate shingle roof: Plan with hammer, continue with trowel. takes 10 slate shingles and 5 mortar. If there's a paving requirement to build it, it's 23 or less paving.

I would like to update slab floors... they actually only take 2 slabs total but you need 1 in your inventory to start the floor.

[joedobo 1,187]

10 story building, 5x5 base with 94.63 carpentry. Can make fences and walls on the tenth story but not a roof over it.

[PsMaster 181]

Here's what's everyone is interested in:

Pottery brick floor: trovel + 10 Pottery bricks + 10 mortar (25 paving kill)

Marble slab floor: trovel + 2 marble slabs + 10 mortar (40 paving skill)

Slate slab floor: trovel + 2 slate slabs + 10 mortar (30 paving skill)

Stone slab floor: trovel + 2 slabs + 10 mortar (25 paving skill)

Pottery shingle roof: trovel + 10 pottery shingles + 10 mortar (25 masonry skill)

Slate shingle roof: trovel + 10 slate shingles + 5 mortar (30 masonry skill)

Wood shingle roof: mallet + 10 wood shingle + 2 small nails (5 carpentry)

Thatched roof: mallet + 10 bunches of thatch + 10 metal wires (25 thatching skill)

The paving skill does not seem to be on curve on epic

And damn mongols, give me back my trovel! ( )

So... Methodology or?...

PS great post PsMaster, love the pic.

Also:

Awww... 10... but that's just not enough for my grand master plan... I can always hope 99 can do 11 but based on what i know of various skill levels vs. floor limits... yeah, I'm not too hopeful . Thanks for the info though.

Ok so, 21 for first floor above ground floor, and 7 points of carpentry for each level above that.

Is anyone able to disprove that hypothesis with observation? Like you could build a 5th floor at 54 carp or something?

I just managed to build the floor of the 7th floor at 60 carpentry, I guess it disproves your hypothesis.. I created a table on the wiki here: http://wurmpedia.com/index.php/Multi-story_housing#Skill_needed

Does anyone have more specific skill limits?
