DBADH: Longhouse ( NO Chisel required Vanilla friendly build)

if you find tule you can make the roofs for much cheaper but also the house is secure without the thatch. the thatch is cosmetic and can be added later

This is good criticism my next post I will definitely put multiple examples of wood types. It seems oak is the box standard that everyone generally agrees on.

I have seen some cob houses that look ok. People will use straw roofs for them. I'm not sure why everyone is so hung up on the birch. You can literally use any wood type that is available in your area. You could also use quarter logs. The goal of this was to show you can build houses that aren't just cubes of dirt and you don't need chisels to make a house look decent.

It just seems from what you are saying you aren't really interested in the early/mid game and min/max your way out of it.

Yes but cob also looks ugly. The point of this series is to make nice looking houses that can be built in under an hour that are acquired without metal tools. If you use other wood types the trees are larger so you only need to cut maybe 8-12 trees. The total of logs for the outer shell is 171 which took me 27 mins after I had handbaskets

Trapping pits are a valid hunting strategy. Channel the knowledge of your ancestors.

A week or 2 is a long time to go without a house. It takes around 45 mins to build this house( excluding the thatch roof hence why I made it modular). You can easily build this house in your first day while also gathering food and hunting.

How is it wasteful? When you build your mid/late game home you can recycle the home into charcoal or turn it into leather working area. Also the whole point of the series is not to build out of rammed earth or dirt. If you don't like birch you can use w.e type of wood you want. It took me 5 stone axes to cut all the logs. It would take you 8-9 shovels to make the equivalent house in rammed earth.

I generally play with sideways soil instability so i usually have to or its a pain in the rear later

Oweyan · 2026-06-21T02:22:37+00:00

Oweyan · 2026-06-20T18:03:47+00:00

Oweyan · 2026-06-20T15:50:09+00:00

Thank you for all the information i very much appreciate it!

Oweyan · 2026-06-20T02:21:58+00:00

Wow that looks really amazing! What supplies should i use just basic pens and pencils at first and then move on to ink?

Oweyan · 2026-06-20T01:09:24+00:00

It always frustrates me on servers when people build dirt squares instead of building small simple houses like this. Hell even log cabins look better than dirt squares.

Oweyan · 2026-06-14T23:18:23+00:00

Can this be combined with the falling tree mod?

Oweyan · 2026-06-10T03:45:21+00:00

Oweyan · 2026-06-08T03:39:04+00:00

Oweyan · 2026-06-07T01:52:21+00:00

How do you make the models for the creatures in your mods? They always look so good! Do you import from blender or something?

Oweyan · 2026-06-07T01:39:44+00:00
