The straw set sits beside the Reed set in the early-game roofing options. Its 26° shallow pitch produces a flatter, longer silhouette that pairs well with single-story longhouses and lean-to additions where a steep reed peak would look cramped.21212222Each slope is cheap to raise, costing only Wood x1 and Plant Fiber x1, which makes the straw set the most affordable way to enclose a roof early on, at the cost of a low 500 Max Health that the steeper Roof (Reed) set improves on.23232424Building Set25252626This piece belongs to the Straw building set. Set siblings include: Roof (Straw), Large Roof (Straw), Roof Ridge (Straw), Long Roof Ridge (Straw), Roof Corner (Straw), Roof Pediment (Straw), Pediment (Straw), Left Gable (Straw), and Right Gable (Straw).27272828Snap and Placement29293030Roof (Straw) snaps onto compatible top-of-wall slots inside the same straw silhouette. The shallow 26° pitch is the defining trait: roofs in this set lay almost flat compared with the steep Reed alternatives, so they suit longhouse or workshop footprints where keeping interior height low improves cohesion with the rest of the base.31313232Straw pieces are the cheapest roof option but the most fragile in raids. For exterior surfaces that face the coast or open water, plan to upgrade to a tougher set once Foothills resources are routine.33333434Placement Tips35353636The straw roof and its gables are taught together by Plans: Straw Roofs and Triangular Walls, so the matching triangular walls are ready as soon as the roof is. Cap the open ends with Left Gable (Straw) and Right Gable (Straw), and run a Roof Ridge (Straw) along the peak to seal where two slopes meet.37373838See Also39394040Building PiecesBase BuildingRoof (Reed)Pediment (Straw)Wall (Clay and Log)
