Wooden house

Main / Carpentry / Wooden house

A wooden house (more accurately, a wooden building) is relatively easy and fast to build, it requires less skill and resources than a stone house, and offers basic protection from decay, theft, and invaders.

Notes

• When building a wall, window, or door, the quality of the materials and the player's skills affect the initial quality of the piece built.

Method

Building

1. Create a building plan for the future structure.
2. Activate a mallet, right-click the wall plan, and select the desired wall type.
3. With the mallet still activated, right-click the wall plan, and select "Continue building" until the wall, window, or door is finished.

• The initial action consumes one large nails and one plank; each subsequent action consumes one plank from the player's inventory.
• A building plan with no walls will decay in a few real-life days so make sure to start at least one wall.

Inner walls

To plan inner walls activate a mallet or trowel, right-click a tile border inside the house and select Plan > Inner wall. On the wall plan select a wall type and continue as explained above.

Tools required

• Mallet

Items required

• 1x large nails per wall
• 20x planks per wall

Repairing and improving

• Any damage must be repaired on the walls with a plank before improving it.
• Activate a plank, right-click the wall, and select "Repair" or "Improve".
• The effective quality of the plank is affected by its damage and the player's carpentry skill.
• Any quality plank can be used to repair and improve a wall (which will improve by between around .04-1.5+ QL per plank--more research needed but a higher QL plank will yield more improved QL).
• 1 plank of any QL will only repair 10 damage.
