So, Repairing Already Built Structures?

[[PC]Roco45]

I'm new, found a two story house, I have a few NPC's in it, one being the carpenter. The roof and some walls are damaged, can I fix them seamlessly? It was missing a door so I built one and it looks pretty good, can that be done with the roof tiles and stone walls?

Also, does AI attack your base at all? Or are there plans for that?

Yes you can repair. First slot in the upper building bar is the smallest stone/voxel. With this and the right material many things are possible if the area is within your altar perimeter.

They do have base raid on the road map, but we do not know how that will work yet.

Use the new tool for repairs, the one that is made by the hollow halls guy, it can make it old and destroyed with the left mouse and it can take away the destroyed old parts of the building with the right mouse, very handy to take out those jagged edges in destroyed buildings.

Thing about renovating;

There's an undo button for the last few build actions you took.

When you delete a block, it goes into your inventory if and only if you already know how to make that kind of block.

Everything in the top row of the build menu can be used to delete. Everything in the landscape row can delete landscape (dirt, rocks, rubble etc.) but seemingly not building blocks; good for digging basements and tunnels.

If you place a pre-made shape (stuff in the other rows in the build menu,) over existing blocks it will only fill in the gaps, which is good for patching holes, getting at hard to place areas, etc. It will overwrite landscape blocks as well.

If you place a shape over existing blocks and then remove it, it will remove everything covered by that shape, including pre-existing blocks, returning any eligible blocks to your inventory. Usually you'd use the 4m foundation for mass demolition.

The hoe can spread/change a specific landscape type like farm soil, road and so on.

Landscaping seems to avoid conservation of mass. If you place it, or spread it with a hoe and then mine it with a pick you get more back than you placed.

Finally, those mossy twisty fences at old farm sites are a landscape material, field stones. I don't know if there's a proper way to create it, but you can mine it and then place it. And then place it and mine it for more. The hoe doesn't work on it though which is good because you can use a hoe to place farm soil etc. right up to it, but bad because it's hard to get it as twisty as the pre-existing fences using the build tool.
