Foundations

[Bestivus]

Do you guys dig the ground out and then fill it in to make a foundation. I usually use the wooden blocks then build my building on top of that. I was just wondering if you guys did

I don't and it's a practice I wouldn't recommend to anyone. As far as i'm aware they still havn't added a way for you to replace surface layer blocks like grass so digging out the ground in order to add a "foundation" that you'll never see under the zones you place inside the building seems a little ridiculous.

If for some reason you decide you need more farm space and the most convenient open ground for it is somewhere you already built something then you're going to have to go with something a little more awkward. Granted that's a problem that can be pretty easily avoided with prudent planning but as long as it remains impossible to replace the terrain i'll still recommend people avoid destroying it.

I only even destroy mountains if they're placed in a way that doesn't leave me enough open ground for my town. Even they can be useful as a way to create a tiered farm should space become a problem or you want to concentrate your farming efforts.

Only if I'm building a complex building which will have multiple zones in it or have a non-rectangular shape.
