Updated Building Mechanics

Important Notice!
Not to be confused with the former existing building information (It is still here but isn't updated) which cannot be updated or edited by anyone and is very outdated for the current mechanics as of June 2022, This building mechanics could not remain as it is currently forever but at least this page can be edited by anyone once the mechanics has new addition of multiple props or was updated.

Information
Building is one mechanics of Northwind to establish your own house, Fort, or Outpost and each of this buildings can serve multiple purpose such as cover for cold winds when travelling to snow biomes, Cover when you are getting chased and attack, Building where you can craft items using a bench or the provisioning station and finally, Using your house/fort/outpost to store your Items using storage props (You will not lose any items once you leave the game after you placed some items in your chest or storage props inside your house but ensure that it has Padlocks so that it won't be opened by anyone except if they have lockpicks as it does not have the same mechanics of the Bank where people aren't able to take and steal your stuff. However, You can use Safes to store items safely as they cannot be lockpicked.)

Houses, Forts, and Outposts can also be a spawn point if you have Beds (Be reminded that it will only spawn you but not your party members or faction members) but this is not recommended to reset when you are in combat in light looting locations as this would just result to your body getting looted and be reminded that players can also raid your building anytime so be prepared for it by using light defenses for your doors such as adding padlocks to avoid people infiltrating the inside of your house, However, This can still be bypassed as lockpicks exists in the game and that's why the 2nd defense is to stay alert especially when your building location is placed on a light looting area.

Building
You are able to build without any needed ranks for all props but you are required to have rank to craft Handsaw and hammer which is primarily used on building props. Hammer is used on Outposts and Forts building props while Handsaw is primarily used for building Houses

You are able to build by holding down V key on your keyboard and using your mouse to select the prop you want to place and using Q or E keys to find more props (They have labels on what was the previous type of props and you can go back to them by pressing Q and Pressing letter E would switch the type of your props to the next category of it) Arrows would also show up when you are selecting one building prop and release pressing V once You've already chose the prop you want to place and it should show a white transparent model of the prop which means you are able to build it on that area but if it shows red, It means that you are not able to place it on that area or you do not have the materials or enough materials to build it.

A plot will automatically be given to you once you place your building props and it would also be saved from your saved buildings. Be reminded that you cannot move your building to a different spot so find the best spot you want or build another one if you still have extra space for saved buildings which is 3 when you don't have Enhanced House Building.

Be aware that building support structure is in game and they definitely serve a purpose otherwise you'll have trouble placing down props especially if you have 2 floors. You are also able to expand your prop limit if you buy Enhanced house building by buying Ducats using Robux.
