This is my first attempt to make a friend with Mapper. I still don't know how to add roofs, so no roof here.
Inspired by this thread a bit, especially point 3rd, also felt sorry for my good ol' topic I've made a simple map of what could you make from 20 wood and 10 junk pieces using Science in empty encounter - for example. Both are much easier to find than brahmin hides, and realism - oh please, just forget it.





Here is .map file.

Doesn't look bad, although a bit too much junk on the walls etc.
But thats a matter of taste. For the map - it could come handy soon.

I really like the idea of a tent alternative for loners. If enough people make shack maps in mapper maybe there could be a shack randomizer whenever you build one in game.

here's woodtent.map after blockers are checked, green wall hexes are added and special blockers removed. ctrl+b is the show blockers shortcut.

edit: ahh I forgot, toggle between roof and floor by clicking middle mouse button

In my opinion, your idea is really cool.

[SantaFaust]

Cool house. When you implemented it?

[runboy93]

it could come handy soon.

Hmm?
You think to make this to game?

[Schwartz]

Awesome, i want it

[Michaelh139]

Awesome, been suggested before and never got implemented though  .

[Andr3aZ]

do want!

This makes me wanna map too

You use scenery blockers to cover all walls, this is wrong. Also you are using too many blockers anyway. Walls block on their own, they don't need additional blockers placed, if they aren't special pieces. Also the ground bed thingy is flat and doesn't need blockers.

the problem whit the tents is for loners and noobs, the hides are hard to get:
step 1: find brahmins
step 2: kill them
step 3: take the hides to make a tent
now, for every step there is a problem:
step 1: brahmins hard to find
step 2: need a gun
step 3: must survive whit the hides from a PK

i got an alternative sugestion: instead of making tents, make houses like the one above from 10 building matherials¹ instead of hides

this way the tent will be more easy to make

Waht about a few labels in the fixboy anyways.

Tent = 10 B. Hides | Tools: Knife
Corrugated Junk Hovel = 20 Junk & 4 Wood | Tools: Knife & Sledgehammer
Wooden Cabin = 20 Wood & 5 MP | Tools: Sledge, Hatchet & Tool
Tiny Vault = 30 MP & 20 Alloys or 10 GMP & 5 HQ Alloys | Tools: Super Toolkit, Shovel & Super Sledge

The idea of a new item called "building materials" is good, since you can't use Science on wood and junk at the same. But do you really think they could be made with hides or iron ores?

What about this: you need only ONE "building materials" to build this house, but you need 20 wood and 10 junk to craft it.

Thanks a lot, these are advices I need the most.
How about making a roof? I'll try find out how to make it, any tips?

And how can I run a game with my map?

[Lexx]

Click middle mouse button to switch between floor and roof level. Also if you press control+b you see all blocking hexes. As far as I remember, this is written in the mapper readme too.
