Revision 12

Overview

Fireplaces are an indoor hearth built from a set of modular Decorations pieces (Luxurious Fireplace, Chimney, Chimney Cap, Fireplace Cover, Fireplace Foundation, Fireplace Pipe, Fireplace Walls, Firewood Rack). The set is purely decorative, though it reads as a visual heat source in a cold room and contributes to a room's comfort rating.

Fireplaces Pieces

The Luxurious Fireplace is the main body, placed flush against an interior wall. Chimney pieces stack upward through the ceiling, capped with a Chimney Cap at roof level. Firewood Rack and Fireplace Cover are optional accent pieces for the hearth base.

Although the fireplace is a multi-part structure, only one piece of the sub-category counts for comfort. The remaining pieces are there to seal the silhouette from floor to roof.

Pair a fireplace with a Carpet, a Luxurious Cushioned Armchair, and a Decorative Table with an Oil Lamp to create a reading corner.

Assembly and Comfort

A finished fireplace runs from a Fireplace Foundation at floor level, up through Fireplace Walls and the Luxurious Fireplace body, then a Fireplace Pipe or Chimney section through each Roof or floor above it, finished with a Chimney Cap at the very top. Only the most-built piece in the Fireplaces sub-category contributes its comfort bonus, so a tall stack still grants the same +2 as a single qualifying piece. The extra pieces exist for the visual seal, not for stacking comfort. As with all Building Pieces, dismantling a placed fireplace piece refunds 100% of its materials, so you can re-route a chimney without losing Stone.

Tips

• Line the chimney stack vertically through every Floor piece above the hearth before adding a Chimney Cap on top.

• Fireplace Cover hides the flame for a room you want to feel unused or abandoned.

• Use a Firewood Rack on the side of the hearth for visual balance.

• Comfort bonuses in a given decoration sub-category do not stack. Placing a second piece of the same sub-category does not add more comfort, it only changes the aesthetic.

• The Luxurious Fireplace and Fireplace Foundation both call for Foothills Iron Ingot, so unlock smelting in the Foothills before planning a full hearth.
