Building a hut and a fence

[53 & still gaming]

Built a cabin hut from the book, but the "door" is not a door. Can't get inside.
What do I need to do ?
the book tells me how to build a door, but the hut from the book comes with one.
But it cannot be opened.

Also for building a perimeter fence from spiked sticks, I seem to lack a blueprint.
or is there none and I only use "spears" for that ? then how do I stick spears to the ground ?

Your book should tell you how to do spiked sticks? Do you look at your book?

Put a stick into the ground. Place the 3 stones at it's base to stabilize it. Then walk up to it, on the opposite side from which direction you want the spike to point (you facing that direction) with your ax in hand. You will see the action symbol...and you'll sharpen the stick and make it angle down to point the direction you chose.

Edit: I found out by destryoing the door and rebuilding it again from the inside, that it can be opened only from in to out. I also put a lock to it.
Still, I cannot open it from the outside ? WTF

You do not activate doors. They are auto-open. Just walk in to your house and it swings open and closes behind you.

Ahhhh, yes, now I see. if you stand directly before the door, it does not work. you need to find the right angle.

Here is something else with doors.. you put down about 6 logs .. then you chop out the center of the door .. each log ... the top most log it will not let you chop it out .. I think .. I only have over 500 hours and I can't remember ..

The point is each time you chop this makes a half log you can use these to reinforce when two full logs meet this diagram is in the book somewhere I think ..

Anyway the main think I want to say is .. when you make a door thing ... the door takes 3 planks you can simply put two logs on your shoulder stand in the right spot and make the door ...

If you stand on the INSIDE of the door .. meaning inside the room the door leads into and you place the 3 planks .. you have the smooth side of plank on the inside and the rough darker bark on the outside this matches the rest of the wood on the outside..

If you stand outside the door on the side of the door that is outside the room it will again put the smooth side of the planks towards you and the rough bark will be on the inside of the room ..

the door will still work but you can only put a lock on it on the outside at this point the lock can only be put no the smooth lighter side .. the lock is simply a stick put in your hand and you will get a graphic to place the stick halfway about up the door and WHAM you have a lock..

Realize doors are fragile and easily destroyed when enemy attacks..

Another thing to do with sticks and rocks place one stick in the ground bring up the hatchet or ax whatever mood your in .. step back at just the right spot from the stick a graphic will present itself now whack the stick you have a spike stick .. put 3 rocks on each stick you do this with .. These things I found are effective ...

try not to run into them .. .. when you face the stick and whack it .. the stick angles away from the direction you are facing it angles away from you .. so first position yourself correctly before you whack it .. they are easily removed using the C key to try again ..
