How can i build foundations for the House?

[M0oZe]

I can´t find any Pieces for a house in the Crafting menu and either in the carpenter's bench. Can anyone help me? Do i need to skill somethink else or build somethink? A year ago everythink was possible..

Masonry bench I would think?

Thatch, Wood, Glass, and Aluminium do not have foundation pieces. Instead you use the beams to act as supports for these materials.

One cool thing about the wood beams is that they are pretty much impervious to weather. They also have an R menu option for 45 degree and horizontal placement. So you can build bridges and ramps out of wood and fiber and confidently expect them to remain there the next time your run through.

Make sure you have the requisite building material unlocked in blueprints. Floors can be directly supported by pillars or put on the ground directly and do not require foundations.

Is there a key that allows smooth placement of foundations and floors, beams etc? So they don't 'snap' and jump to the next grid.

The building blueprints are on the far right of the blueprint selection.

Well, there seems to be a reset button for ‘snap to grid’, ‘End’ in my opinion.

THIS... You can also build early game right on the ground in many spots where you don't even need the beams. But the beams are cheap to make. Get creative.

All of the building keys for snapping and adjusting are listed on the right hand side of the screen when your building piece is selected.
