Why is putting a roof on my house difficult?

[VirusChris]

I'm trying to build a small house and use my bed to sleep as I NEED a roof, but for WHATEVER reason the Roofs would snap to the Triangle Angle Walls and I have NO idea how to use the Wooden Roof tile.

It's very annoying.

And the sad part is when I learned that's how you build a roof with the Triangle ones I manage to get two of them on, but I couldn't connect the other two and I just destroyed the house to start over and no I cannot do it anymore.

I'm below the starting Warp Statue for a temp base with the ruins nearby, but it appears I might not have the room.

Do I need more space or is there a problem with the building aspect of the game right now?

You need to place a ceilling, the triangular roof tiles aren't the actual roof, you need the flat roof

I am arguably one of the worst players at these types of games and i found building a shelter super easy. Use the flat roof, its actually super easy, just use the flat roof and its gg

Yeah, same here. Building a sloped roof is somehow broken. It just wont snap in at the right place

I also had problems with the roof, I managed to place the roof by climbing up the building, I found it easier placing the roof from that height, once I had a couple of roof pieces on I used them to stand on to place the others, it was still awkward to do though as the pieces didn't automatically snap.

The Flat Wooden Roof isn't connecting to anything. It's all red.

Until I did as you said and climb the wall to get on top. Very irritating I can't do it on ground level.

Now I got my house. Thank you Jay.

I thought it was only me; and here I was hoping for an aesthetically pleasing pal factory

Same, it was much easier to get it from above. It's weird because the walls are super snappy, but the roof tiles only want to snap to the floor tiles. And you'd think they would try to avoid connecting to the floor.

In case you need help placing the slanted roof.

So I basically have to put a second floor to get the Slated Roof tiles on.

Thank you.

It won't snap for sloped walls with slanted roofs on console either

[VirusChris]

Should we compile a list of what works and what doesn't with making roofs?

Nah they still count, or at least they did for me.

Really hope they change how this works. Even after you figure it out, having to keep putting down the triangular walls is really tedious.
