Hey everyone,

This is a general ticket to discuss the possibility of a building mechanic for the game. If you have any ideas or suggestions on this topic, please drop them here! That way, we can keep the suggestion tab clean and avoid repeating the same topics.

🧱 About building
Building has come up a lot, both in the comments on our videos and here on Discord and we totally get the appeal. Imagine using the sticks you find to build a cozy little fort or a treehouse to hang out in. Just stick a few in the ground, tie a few more together, and boom: a tiny hut.

But… it’s not as simple as it sounds. Our current stick system is built to create nearly infinite combinations. That’s awesome for finding cool, unique sticks, but it also makes them really unpredictable, which makes creating a smooth building system with them directly almost impossible.

🛠️ A possible solution:
Something that is possible, is letting players scrap sticks into a material, which you could then use to craft prefab building blocks, kind of like structures in ARK or even Fortnite. These blocks wouldn’t reflect the exact stick you used, but they’d allow for a stable, scalable building system

Let me know what you think.

📝Notes:
Note 1: Building is currently a lower priority. We're still focusing on locking in the core vision of the game first.
Note 2: In public lobbies, anything you build would be temporary. But in private lobbies, we could let you save your creations using a savefile system.

I think using being able to turn sticks into either uniform sticks or just turning them into resources would definitely be the way to go, as you said with the unique shapes and stuff it would be hard to have a way to build with them while still working and looking good

my personal hope is wicker for actual structures, it looks really cool and it's made of sticks

A possible way I think wicker could be used for building would be to make wicker panels, you could make them several sizes wide and tall then use them to make bigger structures

Honestly I'd really like to try making tree houses (cos that's where the most sticks live)

Use the unique fav stick as a flagpole on top of the tent built with scrap/material sticks

I reckon that instead of scrapping the stick entirely, you could incorporate another one of the ideas I've seen of randomly changing the wood type.

If you look at particularly my post on #1389126967370190898 and little dragons post on #1386075686015598613 you could incorporate these also. Maybe by changing the way the wood item looks per biome or having different wood types that you gather from the unique biomes

Ok so if we have weird stick shapes and we need proper building material I imagine it can be done in a few ways 1.grind up sticks into uniform blocks or other structures you can place,2.you place your sticks onto a predetermined blueprint you place to slowly build it over time,or 3.just use the sticks with weird shapes and have them snap together however you want to build your structures

Or maybe a combination of that? Like you can build a house and use the random sticks as support beams or pillar supports or something
