destroying a house with stuff still in it

Post by Thatguyintheback100 »

what happens? do the cabnets inside take decay damage or are they just plopped down one to one in the space where the house was. It's only a timber house with like 8 cabnets in it and i dont want to leave them outside while i demolish

They fall onto eachother and clip through, in the same spots they are inside

Back in World 8, when a cave-in destroyed my house, the results were less than pretty...

It may be that this was caused by the cave-in continuing to deal damage after the house was destroyed or something, though.

Probably the first few stone boulders destroyed the house, then the following ones kept on wrecking the stuff that was inside, destroying containers and liftables.

But yes, the contents would just reappear relatively to where the door was, with no damage.

When a building is destroyed, all things are placed in it's proper places, regardless of floor (cabinets, other objects will stack on top of each other). Nothing gets damage but it is pure luck, the very moment after house is destroyed, anything can be hit by decay at anytime.
