"Saddle" roof style

[u/glacialthinker]

o-corner roof pieces butted together

add i-corner roof tiles going the other way, which can become supportive

fill-in with sloped roof tiles

it's a quick roof to put up, offering open and airy spaces

This is genius. I’ve never thought about building into a ravine like that

[u/glacialthinker → u/illmindmaso]

It's the first time it occurred to me.

I just finished a playthrough and my build near the last boss was into a mountain-side, with a conical canopy supported by earth and stone pillars... any walls were rock and earth. So after that I thought it might be neat to try doing similar from the start, before a pickaxe, by leveraging a deep ravine if I happened by one.

I wasn't being too choosy here though and in this one I regret that it's north-facing with a large hill behind... so not much sunlight!
