Large Roof (Reed)

A large roof made of reeds at 64 degrees. The Large Roof (Reed) is a steep, double-width roof tile that closes the top of a structure and satisfies the roof requirement that craft stations and sheltered NPC merchants need to function. As a reed-tier piece it covers twice the span of a standard Roof (Reed), so fewer placements are needed to seal a wide hall.

At 64 degrees it sits in the steepest of the four roof pitch angles, which makes it best suited to tall peaked cabins and gabled estate sections. It snaps onto the Walls and floors beneath it and ties into the wider reed roof set listed below. Like all Building Pieces, it can be demolished for a full refund of its construction materials, so it is safe to reposition while you settle on a roofline.
