I have not seen any of the upcoming patch, but I have read the forums. I currently have no internet thanks to Hurricane Helene, but I’ve been playing offline and planning my build when and if.
I generally don’t build huge bases, so this is a 5x5 house, 2 stories with 3 x 18 arms forming a U shape. The open end can be gated. This leaves dead space behind the arms for a private garden and sitting area. I’m planning 2 wall high builds but he tinkerers bench my force 3 high. In one arm there will be 6-3x3 work spaces and the other 6-3x3 apartments. Over the workspaces will be the public kitchen and tavern; over the apts will be storage and a general workroom for dye and casting. I’m not done with the prototype and can’t decorate like I want offline, but your thoughts?
As long as they have access to a campfire, large campfire or bonfire, any type of chair and any type of bed then the worker thralls will have all their needs met.
They will navigate to wells, thrall pots and benches.
If you don’t want them going outside of the wall ensure the needs are inside.
Here is the final layout. It would be much better decorated if I was online. There is a bath house across from the kitchen/tavern. 6 3x3 workshops plus a room for casting/dye. 8 apartments with seating and bedrooms upstairs plus a generous house with two private outside areas. It should give thralls everything they need.
First of all it’s really cute, congrats !
The only thing that worries me is your “freedom” in this base when it will be filled with wandering crafters. This game has a serious issue from day one i would dare to say.
This issue is “single doors”.
Unfortunately in this game we cannot walk free with single doors, we always need 2. Following thralls or wandering crafters will block your way for sure. I know it’s silly to build something always with 2 entrances but unfortunately that’s the truth of this game. The worst part is the “denial” of double doors. Yes we have a decent double door in the Stormglass set but it’s not enough. We need double doors to each set. So if the artistic team wants to sell something in bazzar it’s time to start selling double doors in each set. The success of the sale is guaranteed, unless they sell each door for 1k coins. Make it 500 coins and everybody will buy!
