Building

One of the major tasks you're going to do is building your own cabin. Building it requires a lot of time, resources and effort. You will need:


 * Logs
 * Axes (broad, carving, woodsman and splitting axes. You don't actually need all of these, but they make the job a lot faster.)
 * Boards
 * Slender tree trunks

To build a wall, you need logs, made from fallen trees or tree trunks. You can fell a tree with the timbercraft skill, pressing Alt+F and then [f]ell a tree. Tree trunks can be made into logs or boards with timbercraft skill as well. Currently the best way to transport a large numbers of logs is to [m]ove them on to some sort of watercraft, then rowing them as close as possible to your building site. This is because there is no limit to how many logs can be on a single tile, and they are always too heavy to be carried by the player or NPCs.

A single tile of wall requires 5 logs. All the building commands can be found by pressing Shift+[M] and then [6], Buildings and Constructions. After the walls, you will need to build the floor and the ceilings. Additionally you may add a couple of shutters and a door. Also if you like your cabin to be warm, you will need a fireplace as well. After all, you can't just build a fire on the floor!
