Candlebury's guide to building in multiple Z levels!

Enter the debug menu, use the map editor, press “t” for traps, search for sinkhole.

They’re not unknown in swamps, either. That’s one of the nastier risks, as with those…you either have a 30’ rope and get lucky casting it…or Game Over! Press Spacebar…[/quote]

And the reasons to never enter the swamps keep growing!

How exactly do I ‘create’ a sinkhole trap?

You need a shovel clearly.

[size=1pt]And the menu tile editor.[/size]

I wish we had legitimate means to build a basement…

I wish more houses had basements. I’ve not seen any lately and I could use a stash of weed/arms/gear or whathaveyou right about now. Might want to think about tweaking the house basement spawnrate up a notch or three.

I’ve found a cool basement myself, lots of arms and ammo. I’ve made it my base.

where to get right algorytm of building basement in the building?
which instruments do i need? what i need to do? step by step

Zireael · 2014-08-14T07:31:26.000Z

I don’t think you can build a basement yet.

It’s dangerous to dig alone! Take this.

KA101 hands Zireael and vivat each a Pickaxe, entrenching tool, hatchet, hammer, 8 2x4s, a long rope, and Construction 5

Arek_PL · 2014-08-14T09:07:07.000Z

its possible to dig donwnstairs i entered sacrofagus by diging stairs near elevator (get ANBC suit before that or you will die) you need to read some books like bird house or home repairs

vivat · 2014-08-14T09:28:06.000Z

KA101 thanks

but which command i need? simply use pickaxe? or from Building menu (shift-8) i need some? exactly what i need except tools?

offtopic: LOL!!! i sometimes not may build correct phrases and use translator and that’s what he told me with a completely innocent translated russian phrase
"but most importantly, what I have to imagine a directive to command me to have sex in the middle of last appeared icon “>” " :)))))))))))))))))))))
hmm. but none the less - what i need to say myself to have icon “>” on the floor or my garage?

John_Candlebury · 2014-08-14T13:44:43.000Z

A year and the thread is still going! Fabulous.

Anyhow I still do this when building basements as I can’t be arsed enough to find pickaxes.

vivat · 2014-08-14T14:11:03.000Z

ooh c’mon!
not so long ago - only one year from the beginning.
the main thing - that is still valid.

FunsizeNinja123 · 2014-08-14T18:14:56.000Z

Make pickaxes!

Construction menu: “Dig Downstair” goes from z=0 to z-1, whereas “Mine Downstair” (needs a jackhammer rather than a pickaxe) goes from z-1 or lower. Skill 5 to dig and 6 to mine. You’re gonna be a while at it, though–it’s a several-hour project.

(Fabrication 7 needed to forge a pickaxe, Ninja, and it’s only in two books.)

I thought it was only for stairs and not for a basement?

kevin.granade · 2014-08-15T17:37:45.000Z

Once you have the stairs, you can go down them and start mining out laterally.

And for the record, that’s accomplished by applying the pickaxe or jackhammer (or sonic-resonator).

vivat · 2014-08-17T03:38:13.000Z

well, - in short, I did a basement under existing house. and learned it does not spoil the NOR ANY floors ceilings in the house-patient for implanting the basement …

how?
heh! listen here Necessity is the mother of invention - as we say in Russia.

do ONE - dig downstair from the outside of the house (this is important !!!) - we get on the ground the “>” symbol
do TWO - expand the basement under the house to the needed side until presumably we will find ourselves UNDER the house. simply under the house
DO THREE - from underground (it is not basement yet, we need expand underground room after that) dig UPstairs - and we go out WITHIN the house, ceilings are not damaged, the floors too undisturbed. and we get > within the house.

voila!

Zireael · 2014-08-17T18:20:39.000Z

Thanks vivat!
