how do you build doors?

[Reignner]

just started and built my first house. the doorway ramp is just a green out line now. ive read other people get this and you have to set the doors open or close? ive also seen people build different kinds of doors, something stage entrances? so is it as matter of i just havent progressed far enough or am i missing something? cause the green outline is really annoying, feels like i left my place 99% finished

You can replace by sliding doors which do not not have the green outline.
With hammer equipped, press E or F to change the door, can't remember which hey is for door and which is for material.
Can put doors where ever you wish and change doors to walls and change building material as well.

right so i can hit E but its only to change it from a ramp door, plain wall, or windowed wall

Have you tried other walls?

yes, i even tried verify the filers thinking i might have a bug but every house i try to build is the same no matter the location

Are you building the small house? you should go for the larger house for alternative doors, I think the small house does not allow the changes.

Yeah the smallest house that you start with simply does not have an option to do actual doors (for some reason - Imagine living in an open shed in Winter)

That's why it's "makeshift." It's a stopgap to get people under a roof until more stable housing can be built. Not saying I agree with it but that seems to be the rationale behind it.

I don't really see the reason to make it this unimmersive/unrealistic. Even a makeshift shelter with permanent flooring, walls and roofing should have some kind of door, even if it's a simple bamboo hinge door or whatnot.

We have leantos after all, which is more of a makeshift anything. :)

oooooh ok that makes more sense. yes the only houses i have available are small houses so far. thanks everyone!

Actually it is very realistic. Thats how people built back in the days in rural japan. Those kinds of shacks were used for all kinds of things like storages, small shrines, but also for mid-term living (during most of the time from spring until autumn - like for farm workers directly living besides the farm.)

Not without any kind of cover for the door it wasn't. You would at the very least have heavy cloth or skins covering it - Cause you know... the elements. Having a human sized opening in the wall is a great way to lose all insulation and heat.

its japan, not siberia. During sommer months there is absolutely no door necessary, maybe a light cloth curtain, or something like, but you want the fresh air inside, its hot and humid.

Yes - It is indeed Japan. Where such concepts as snow and sub-zero temperatures are absolutely a thing during Winter. Who would have thought.

Hence the questioning towards a doorframe with nothing to hang on it during cold or windy weather.

Lets add a bit of logic to the mix, how would your character interact with the door since it cannot be a swinging door?
