Log Cabin with Door?
Guys if I build a Log Cabin will it have a door? Cause I really want a way to isolate myself form the canibals, I want it to be my safe place, my safe haven, but if it wont have a door can I somehow place the hunter shelter at the entrance so it will somehow work in any positive way???

It doesn't have a door, but you could build a fire in front of the door while inside and light it if any cannibals are outside

Nope. I have never had a door. I think you have to custom build your home to be able to add a door. I have never tried it so I can't tell you one hundred percent if that is how it is done.

no it does not atm. However, you can place a hunting shelter in the log cabin and a firepit at the door way to prevent cannables from coming int. This also serves as a last line of defense that you can run too.

WOW excellent! how does this work? is it like an invisible wall? must the fire be lit in order to keep them out?
Also, can I walk through the unlit fireplace without it shutting me out?

Cannibals are just afraid of the fire so they'll back away if one's lit, so if one's placed in the doorway they won't enter. If you place it outside, however, the rain will put it out. Remember you take damage from fire also so careful running through it.

doors are a bad idea where are you gooing to get the materials for the hinges?
Hmm.. IMO log cabins are useless at the moment. Reasons:
1) no door (wtfbbq!)
2) cannot sleep
3) cannot save
4) chopped logs clip right through it's walls

After collecting 80(?) logs, you'll still need to build a hunter's shelter. Better spend that much on building defensive walls instead. You'll have a much bigger space too.

Doors are good!

If you build a wall with a door it doesn't have a door, just a hole. What I do though, is surrond my house with Defensive walls (The one with the spikes) and effiges and traps. I also put a fire near my doorway and I build a wall with a door and put two fires on each side of the door. I reccomend using the fire pit you can relight and it lasts longer! Hope that helps! (Warning: Requires a billion logs and you should build a hunting shelter first. Have everything set up to do though! That means have the white outlinings set up)

1) Yes, you can walk through it a unlit and a lit fireplace.
2) The firepit has to be lit for it to work inside the cabin.
3) Even if you take fire damage from the firepit. It is not significant and the benifit of lighting one in front of the door outways the cost of any health you lose stepping on it
4) If you are skilled you can jump over the fireplae and not be hurt ;P
5) put a hunting shelter in the cabin so you can save or sleep.

go near the beach, and make some moltoves with cloth and alcohol. Might have some better results

Log cabins are a complete waste of time. I've just built a mini fortress on the side of a cliff, with all the sides blocked off and only a small space in the middle of the walls as an a entrance, that also forces any invading mutants to funnel in one at a time.

oh, I like that idea... But they love to attack me pretty quickly. It's hard to even get time to do much more than jack around getting food and wood.
