How am I supposed to build a house.

[Micnasr]

So I know the basic thing that consist on getting logs and placing down as a house but how do you properly build a house like with a roof. What are the materials I need to get to make actual walls and a floor cuz my house has no floor and I don't know how to create one. I just know the log material but nothing else. If anyone could provide me with enough information please.

The basic is not logs. To actually build with wood you need a few tiers.
You need a saw.
A hammer.
Nails.
Then you will have more wood open up. Like proper roofs, floors, doors.
Meanwhile you can Davy Crocket Logs to a cabin.
Build with Bamboo ( the easiest to work with.. as all you need is the Bamboo ) But if no tropical Yland.. well.. Davy Crocket didnt do so bad.

Whats Davy Crocket

A famous American Frontiersman. But that is irrelevant. The key was simple log cabins do work. Like the old timey settlers and pioneers lived in.
Wood is a bit at this point, ridiculous to work with. You need a blacksmith level station just to make freaking doors. Plus the tools to make simple things like floors and slat panel walls.. 'cause you need the saw.

Not a what but a who. And another tip is grab loads of recourses. Like when you think you may have enough, get more

Isn't davy crockett a nuclear weapon fired from a tripod mounted artillery piece? just a hunch ya know.

Basically you need some iron and clay, and a basic set of tools (axe, hammer, pick, knife, shovel). Clay will make you a furnace and a smeltery, and they will allow you to make a blacksmith forge, then you can make nails and that will open up loads more options. A chisel will let you work stone as well.

Once you get that blacksmith forge, make a saw. Then you can make wooden beams and blocks. One log = one beam. One log = 4 blocks. The wooden roof is available also.

If you want to get creative, you could use stone blocks or brick on the bottom two or three layers, then beams on top of that. Don't forget a floor.

Put together (not build) a house in the Editor first. Unless you really want a vanilla experience from the game. The Editor will get you acquainted with the materials.

Note that some homes you see in the game belong to people hosting the server. They built in the editor and did not have to scrounge for materials like you do as you are visiting their server - Multiplayer.

It is possible to build without the saw but you might not have doors/windows. I build that way all the time cause to lazy to learn how to use a furnace yet (need only axe low level). Wood logs are easiest to nature build. Bamboo comes in close second but you need the tropic area. Have not played snow/desert yet so donno what works there.

only been on one snow island and didnt stay long but on desert i know people usually use sandstone

[mosquito]

Real Ylanders build a house on a ship. that way you take all your crafting gear with you when you go. Bamboo is king, you can live on just bamboo, hell you can even eat it.

I have to ask, why, just WHY in the hell is this request for "give me a clue how to make 4x4 blocks" turned into a fanfest of Davy Crocket? He was killed in a barn when he was only 3 years old!... didn't you hear the lithographs?!?
