Customized Houses

I like the idea but I would add another roof material. Tiles whether terracotta or simply clay have been used a very long time. They would make a nice addition.

<3 the idea! In Ancient times clan leaders status symbol was there homes

How about reusing the code for the mine support beams as ceiling support beams?

Wouldn't stop a well-off-to-do player from making a 300x500 tile Chieftain cabin out of blocks and nettles if that strikes his fancy but it'd make sense at least. (From a structural integrity point of view)

Edit: And on that note: Maybe remove instancing for player housing, just have the roofs (and approximately two walls) fade away when entering, I know a lot of raiders just skip searching the houses because of the loading times. But keep it for player basements... Or make it part of the cavern layer. But then we'd have people invading peoples basements from other basements... And possibly make mining too easy... Hum...

We'd have people hiding in their basements whenever there was a raid going on. Which seems oddly appropriate.

Where did you hear this?

yea that would work great too. the pain of mansions is in all the straw needed for the roof(and no convenient way to store it). though I honestly just wanted more options than the current 3 buildings we have.

This actually has been suggested before. Loftar said it isn't possible right now though, but would be something the devs liked to have sooner or latter.

I searched, guess not as well as I should have, but if the devs have something similar planned I'm happy
