AlphaRay Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 In the first "weeks" of the game you have to close your house with dirt... there is only one door available for which you need a saw... What i you add a very simple door made from e.g. 2 x cattail (at middle left/right) + 7 x Stick...? Something like this. Ya need "only" duplicate the actual door and replace the texture https://wholefedhomestead.com/how-to-build-a-rustic-a-garden-gate/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junawood Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 You can craft "rough-hewn gates" with an axe, some sticks and logs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aah...i see. thx But i can't find anything here or in the wiki. Is it new? The height is one block. Is this stackable - or is the block above "blocked" so creatures can't come in? My suggestion was here for houses - not an improvised door, but one which can be done from the beginning in full height of two blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junawood Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Rough hewn fences 1.14 and the gates 1.14.3 https://www.vintagestory.at/forums/topic/3314-stable-steel-age-and-character-customization-v1140 https://www.vintagestory.at/forums/topic/3624-stable-christmas-patch-v1143 1 hour ago, AlphaRay said: Is this stackable - or is the block above "blocked" so creatures can't come in? You can place as many as you want, but they don't connect in a way that you could open them all at once with just one click. Like the normal fences and gates, rough hewn fences and gates are "invisibly" a bit higher than one block, so you or other creatures/animals can't just jump on/over them from the same level the fence/gate is placed on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemrael Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) Sorry but the door mechanic is just stupid and redicoulus... Doors shouldnt brake by random... this is just a silly mechanic... Edited December 5, 2022 by Nemrael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony frailey Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Alternately, strawbales are easy to attain, and fast to remove, put back. I never use the silly rough door that falls off, i just use fence gates doubled up until attaining a saw and boards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 But gates do not provide thermal protection like doors do. That's only a problem if you start in a colder climate than the temperate default starting climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony frailey Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 true, which is why i offered the hay bale closure as well. Temp "fix" , haybales also suffice for cellar doors I recently discovered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a change or did I screw up the testing? I sealed myself in my lit cellar and looked at crocks whilst replacing the "door" with various blocks. Been a long time, but IIRC, the various soils, stone, cobble, and a few others were best, hay and sand were significantly worse. I just ended up reimagining "cellars" so I never had to bother with drifters spawning there. Yes, they still end up spawning, but I can access all my storage vessels without getting pelted with rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony frailey Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 I think it has to do with blocking temperature air flow and light levels. I got significantly worse preservation times, using various stone cobbles , the best is to dig your 7x7x3 , one more than that, 8x8x4 and line with either clay brick, or hardened clay blocks ( takes forever to do.) with a entry way, no matter if door, trapdoor with a hallway that no light from the open door can get into the room, even if you use torches or oil lamps in the cellar itself. I found just about -anything- you seal the room with, increases preservation time, even noticeable difference if door is open or closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For both of these things the reason is the same: It only counts as a cellar and not a cave if more than 50% of the walls floor and ceiling are not made of raw stone, cobblestone.or dirt. The simple and easy way to check, is while you are hearing the surface music enter the cellar. If it stops, or it starts playing cave music then you do not have a cellar but a cave.
