Let's talk Buildings!



[h2]Hello Adventurers![/h2]

Today, I would love to go a little more into the building system and explain both the basics and possibilities of the feature. It all starts with a foundation that you can place freely on the ground, as long as you stay on your center tile. To build bigger homes, you can simply snap foundations together. It is as easy as it sounds! So every foundation can have 4 more foundations snapped to it (and so on). By the way: You can rotate foundations to create nice floor patterns!



Each foundation can also have 4 walls that snap to its edges. It is not possible to have multiple walls on the same edge though - you have to choose!



If you have at least 1 supporting wall, you can add a roof to your build. A roof will provide shelter and subsequently protect you from rain and other forces of nature.



I really like the simplicity of this building system but, at the same time, love how creative you can be with it. It is really easy to create a simple, small cabin for shelter if you are not into building. But for those who enjoy adding a bit more customization to their spaces, you can put hours into building a big house if you want to live in something special! There are already a lot of different building parts available and more and more will be added with ongoing development!



I hope you enjoyed this little explanation of the building system! What building part should be added next? Let me know in the comments below!
