Since this is a topic on a building I'll give one of my other thoughts.
How about an underground home or bunker. One of the tools needed would be a shovel. It would need stone and a trowel of course.

What would the in game benefits be to an underground bunker? By the way, having to dig through tons of dirt to make a house underground is much more costly and time consuming, and limits space. So unless plagues or nuclear weapons are introduce, I don't see much purpose in this. Unless you mean some sort of building in which you can still attack from while inside, but you'd have to also have some chance of being attacked, with perhaps the building acting as an extra shield with a chance to block.

And maybe it wouldn't be as visible or something.

Back to adobe, I think that would be a good idea. You would need wood to make a frame, then mud to cover everything. You wouldn't need a kiln though, because it just hardens by itself in the sun. You wouldn't need a brick mould either. Would you need a trowel?

I don't think so...

But what do I know :lol:

Just my 2 pesos. The word "brick" doesn't apply to objects of stone (which are "blocks") or marble but only:

"a handy-sized unit of building or paving material typically being rectangular and about 2 1/4 x 3 3/4 x 8 inches (57 x 95 x 203 millimeters) and of moist clay hardened by heat."

(it also apparently applies to ice-cream and cheese, but NOT stone or marble)

This is of course not to say that I'm AGAINST buildings made of stones or marble. A marble building would be quite grand, especially if we started being able to tell the difference between buildings made of different materials. And maybe even give them tin-roofs (as posted elsewhere by others) or porches and windows.

Which is why a brick made of corn is a bad idea.

However, clay, I still promote.

Building additions... would be... cool... a porch could so much act like a vehicle, really. You can be in a building, but still hear and see (to an extent...) what's going on.

But of course, Programming would need to implement such a thing...

But this isn't about porches!

And if you had a porch, you'd have somewhere to store your old, broken refridgerators! So they wouldn't clutter up the insides of your buildings.

Better yet, a porch could act like a vehicle FOR BOTH inside and outside the building, allowing you to hear (and be heard?) in BOTH locations! (is this about porches, NOW?)

Excellent idea but they should all be made from wood. A perfect place for a rocking chair!

Please make it so the brick molds can be useful. Let's make clay bricks for...something...I don't know...it's too early to think.

I've seen rped bricks made from fish and meat. Baked on a rock in the sun and served sprinkled with sand. Yum!
