Whenever I attempt to build something, (Lets say a wickerbasket) I have the necessary equipment, 10 branches. I click build and it says, "This construction site has no available building materials." and i don't know what to do, can anyone help me please? Im new to the game and have been having issues GETTING the game for over a year, finally get it and this happens. No youtube videos or anything helps.

you have not put the materials into the building sign. shift+click the item or shift+mousewheel.

how long do candles last in candelabrums?

[Magisticus]

Longer than it takes the average person to get a custom client installed

I have a cave that i want to protect from being mined into. Green area on the screenshot can't be mined, because it is within 51-tile range from the cave entrance.

I wanted to block the passage with a wall. But I need to leave 2-tile clearance between walls of the cave and pavement. It seems like my wall project is impossible to accomplish, am I right?

[Magisticus]

Yes, this is now not possible, people used to have that kind of structure back in world five. Added to which there is now no really effective way of blocking the entrance at the top other than bilding a wall around it - so this kind of base is unadvisable anyway as the cost of the two walls is much more than the cost of building one larger wall. If you want to build underground you are better mining out an area, or finding a more open cavern and building a full brickwall.

An underground area can only be mined into if it is clear below for the size of the underground area of the minhole - 7*7 squares, so in an underground base don't leave any 7*7 square area empty (or unmined).

You should having built your wall check that it can't be mined into from above as well, best way to do this is have a character commit a crime (tresspassing, because its unsummonable) and then have them stand on each corner of your base underground and determine position above ground with a ranger tracking them. For each corner they stand in mark it above ground with a signpost and then try to build a minehole everywhere over the marked area (you don't need to pave to do this) if you can build a minehole anywhere then simply build something underground to block it in that area.

Or to be really sure build underneath a lake!

do brickwalls take random decay on claimed/paved land? could have sworn I repaired my line of walls when I first put my claim up, but some were damaged. haven't checked the rest

[Magisticus]

NO, if the wall is built on paved ground and it is on a personal claim then it won't decay. If it is on a village claim and not on a personal claim then it will decay if the village's authority drops below 25k.

I believe its under 50k auth?

[Arcanist]

I thought it was 25k, 1/10 of the standard claim auth
