Revision 5

Hut Frame is a prebuilt structure in Windrose, one of a small set of one-click building blueprints that place a whole shape in a single action instead of piece by piece. It raises only the skeleton of a Hut: the floor, the support pillars, and the roof, but none of the walls. It is the cheapest way to mark out a planned shelter footprint and works well as a sketch placeholder while you decide what wood and roof style to commit to.

Because the roof is already in place, the Hut Frame counts as shelter the moment you drop it. Crafting stations that need to be under cover will function underneath it right away, even with the walls left off, so you can run an open-sided workshop for the early hours and add walls later. Stations check for the roof, not the walls.

Build Cost

Costs 56 Plant Fiber. The frame goes up in one second and can be torn down freely if the placement turns out to be wrong, returning materials so you can re-site it cheaply.

How to Use

Place the Hut Frame to outline the footprint of a planned shelter, then attach individual wall and roof pieces from the standard Build menu to fill out the structure. As you snap the first plank or stone wall into the gap between the pillars, the frame visually transitions from a raw skeleton toward a finished cottage. Frames can also be used as low-cost dividers inside larger compounds, splitting a single building into rooms.

Properties

Tips

• Stamp a Hut Frame first, then add walls only where you actually need them. It is a popular fast-start shelter because it gets a covered crafting spot up almost instantly for very little Plant Fiber.

• If you want a fully enclosed starter home in one click instead of just the skeleton, place the complete Hut prebuilt instead and skip the manual wall step.

• Use a frame to test a layout on uneven ground before you commit expensive stone or hardwood pieces; tearing it down and re-placing it costs almost nothing.
