Grausten lacks several roof segments, why?

[Doc Maccinakloutos]

i'm all in for new elements, but i have several gripes with the new tilesets.

Like black marble, many existing, worn structures and the buildable ones do not match, which means reusing ruins looks awfull.
Stacking pillars is a pain, they are too small and lack height adjustments.

Ashwood catches fire. it's legitimately standing there and it burns once it's harvested, why???

also Grausten is the first and only tileset that doesnt have the full suite of roof tiles..
you cant make half of what's possible with tar and hay...

[IIII]

Same for dvergr wooden structutres can't build them
Why?? because

Valheim is 20% exploring 20 % combat and the rest is gathering stuff to build pretty house/bases and what not.
I don't understand why devs are limiting creativity.

Same way gyzmo mod and plant everything mod should be implemented, they up creativity building x100

Valheim is a great game but man why nerfing player options that don't affect gameplay balance...Who knows...

Still haven't figured out what to build with grausten, so that it doesn't end up in some sort of a temple.
It's already hard to build with Black Marble... but Grausten is worse.
Close to practically unusable

(Ashwood is great though)

Not a builder myself but others seem to have solved the issue.

I personally don't like living in a cement box which is what building with grausten feels like. My solution was to use the elements I like to create the light I needed. By no means the ultimate or totally aesthetically pleasing but I think it is worth exploring different combos until you hit something you like to live in.

If you mean the interior corner roof pieces you can make them with two of the triangular pieces. Took me a while to figure that out. If you're on about the shallower roof pieces then yeah, nothing you can do. They may add them at some point if enough people want them though

[SumatranRatMonkey]

My personal pet peeve of that set is the lack of exterior roof corners for the grausten set (unless I'm missing something).

At the end of the day, it's just how it is. "The world is unfair, deal with it" paraphrasing Bill Gates. In a way the incongruent tile sets are a potentially interesting intellectual challenge to unmodded builders.

Agreed. I think it's a nice base tileset and you need to combine it with some other sets to end up with not entirely dull things. Although I did make a very visually realistic Swedish 19th century church out of pure grausten, incidentally turned satanist (why else would someone build a church in the Ashlands).

[Faceplant]

I mostly have used grausten to throw up some quick walls in Ashlands, and the first thing I was bemused about was the lack of any sort of 1m high wall.

When I first landed on the shores of Ashlands, I was bombarded by the normal hordes, and just wanted to put up some walls as a safe space to at least get out of their view. I collected the massive amounts of stones that the hordes had been nice enough to break loose, slapped down a few 4x2 walls, puzzled over the roof pieces, and just decided to use 4x4 floor pieces, then placed an iron door for protection, which is 2x3. Huh, how do I fill that gap over the door?

Seems like an odd omission.

I don't think there's any good justification for not at least having a 1x1. Even just flipping the 1x2 sideways would be something.

Picture please?

[IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII]

Same reason why 1x1 floors and walls cost 4 stone and 4x4 floors and walls cost 6. I think the devs are afraid of their spaghetti code and optimization collapsing if you make more than a small hovel. I noticed on larger builds that my performance starts to choke. Grausten structures already look like trash unless you oversaturated them with accents, pillars and supports. Half of the blocks barely connect and clip poorly with others so you really have to cover a lot of the jank with other pieces, which will tank your FPS

And all the while I've been so thirsty for corner stair build pieces

Three steps to do this:

1 - put a 1m high wall of something else somewhere
2 - have a 2m high wall piece of grausten align to the top, so the lower half is below the ground
3 - remove the part from step 1 and build like always.

This also fills the gap you get on the outside if you set up wall pieces onto the grausten floor.

Or you just leave that 1m above the iron door open.
Oh, and you can actually use the grausten pillar pieces like 1x1x1m stone bricks.

What bugs me more about grausten is that you cannot set arcs onto the same piece of pillar. They just don't snap to the pillar when the pillar is already "occupied"

[Draconis]

This is what my daughter and I build with mostly grausten, just to try out a few things.

And yes, we avoided to have roof corners. But the triangular pieces make great end pieces for a roof.
