Stone building

[Come and See]

So I logged on my build save to test out the new stone building system and my initial impression is that its super expensive resource wise to actually make a single stone wall. I believe it's around 35 stones just to make one wall and the advanced sled only holds 30. To build a regular 3x3 house would be over 300 stones which is a lot of farming. Without using the stonehack console command... yeah: it'd take you 30+ minutes to farm the stones to make a single house. Also, stacking up that much stone without holders is a lot of space.

How do you build stone wall ? Can't find em in book, only the stone fireplace / chimney is showing

It's simple and confusing at the same time:

A) You only find ONE blueprint in the book, which is the stone fireplace

B) All the OTHER stone building types are part of the modular building system. That means you have to treat building with stones just the same as building with logs. Eg pick up one of those new stones, look at the ground, switch between modes with RMB and use LMB to put those stones to action

Maybe this screen helps?

You mean you can't instantly get the newest and best stuff immediately without cheating? This is upsetting. I should make a post about this too so I can make sure everyone knows.

Tell Kelvin to find stones or look around for them. You pick them up and place them on the ground log the log system, but you have to place 1 piece at a time.

So how does the roof work? Can you make it from stone? Can you build with wood on top of the stone?

You cant build a stone roof but you could have a stone house with a wooden roof on top yes. You cant add doorways and windows to stone walls yet though. Hopefully this is added at some point. Overall its good.

Can the bendy mutants aka catdogs/caterpillars/slinkys clip through stone walls?

if you don't want to cut trees as to not piss off the cannibals you could also use tarps for roofs

It seems so. I only build a half stone wall and right next to it a small stone tower (3 floors) but john2 (aka "the bendy worm") slipped through it

does anyone know the id of the rocks? It is to spam them with the console and not look for them

Seriously, why would you need to "look for them"? In case you didn't read any of the previous posts: They are LITERALLY SCATTERED AROUND EVERYWHERE

Besides, just use stonehack on using the dev console. It's that simple, really.
