Where are the triangle shaped pieces to build a wall with a sloped roof??

[emitfudd]

I am looking at all the building pieces and there is nothing to build the end walls of a rectangular shaped home with a sloped roof. Everything I read says the building in this game is awesome. It isn't. Not only does the fact that you can overlap pieces cause huge problems with symmetry but I can't even build a simple long house.

I would actually like diagonal pieces tbh. Thats kinda all its missing, the triangle shaped pieces of roof? yeah thats already in the game, you can actually use the crafting hammer and place the triangle down. Now, i know it doesn't look triangle when you view it, but when you actually place a roof, it turns into a roofslope. not square*.


Yes, the star cause when you do build, you can make the roofing only a square IF you want to as you build and learn how the blocks connect when you place them.

Bring out hammer, press TAB, then press and HOLD ALT and viola, menu. Then chose up or down for the set of menu you want by scrolling mouse wheel, once selected let go.

Use the numbers to choose your shape or the mouse wheel.

Be mindful of the little icons at the top right corners as the blue little squares indicates its for building and then there are green pieces for terrain.

I'm not talking about the roof pieces that make a roof corner. I'm talking about a flat triangle to fill in the gaps in the end wall of a home with a sloped roof. I'll post a picture in a minute.

Every other base building game has triangles and inverted triangles to fill in these gaps.

Use roof pieces.

None of the roof pieces fit this shape. I mean the little empty triangles in the corners in the pic.

If you roam around the game, youll see how other houses do it. Place down an alter and take them apart.

Use roof pieces is the final answer i promise.

It looks like the areas I'm talking about have a grid of sticks in your picture. Not what I'm looking for and there are no such building parts in the menu.

The single wall block filled in the gaps. It is the first one in the top row of building pieces.

I completely overlooked these 2 pieces. Considering they are block shaped they probably work the same as the single wall blocks. I'll try them tomorrow when I build the other end of my longhouse.

This is what it looks like with the single wall blocks filling in the gaps. I'm happy with that.

Yea, you just need to use the 1m(smallest wall option) to fill in the "triangle wall"

Also, so everyone knows, the "triangle wall" in question is referred to as a "rake wall" as the angle portion of the outside face of the roof that is sloping is called a rake... while the portion of the roof that is parallel(horizontal) to the house floor is an "eave." Rake wall could also be referred to as a "gable end."

I have yet to come across any issue designing castles or homes on this that requires gimmicks to fix. All the design methods you see in the game, you can build, though some of the vanilla patterns appear to be missing, as I can't find the patterns for longkeep walls or flooring.

Now we just need a glass roof recipe for skylights and greenhouses.
