Monastery Cloister

[Cherry]

Wow, trying to build a Cloister is IMPOSSIBLE, Cant get the walls to match up to make it enclosed. Anyone else having this issue or have any tips?

[danielprates]

is this still a problem?

In the pre-alpha lots of people would complain about this. Although, it seems, they were all just doing it wrong. There is a correct way to close the cloister - dont ask me though, I dont remember. Lets hope someone else does.

In other words, it is not a bug, it is just that the correct way is a bit finicky

I am fighting with it also. The pieces are pretty self explanatory. 4 corners, walkway between each for the smallest layout and slap on a entrance. I get the green square but the middle is always red, its border is completely closed of , maybe you need to cover the square opening in the roof? lol im at a loss on this one

Search the forums, there is topics going back years with good advice in them.

I have not built a cloister in the released version, but I have built many in the EA version. The rules may be the same. It needs to be stuck to a building, have at least one entry into the center area, and be at least a certain size. All the roofs slop down toward the center of the cloister. Make sure you clear all the trees before building. If there are trees, a villager may get stuck while building it. Try to think ahead and have a building next to a flat area. Cloisters work so much better on flat land. You can see my standard cloister at https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3327436021

Thanks for the help I managed to get one built, it looks wonky but it seems to be working and enclosed.
Thanks again

can you post a screen of how you built yours in the current release. I had no issue building these in EA for years. now It wont work

[PlasteredDragon]

componentized building construction shouldn't be this sloppy...

I had issues with that as well, it took me forever to figure it out.
It should be a simple task to complete, but they made it unnecessarily complicated :/
