Materials
The frame is all wood, so the window is cheap to produce in quantity:
Material | Where to Get It |
|---|---|
Chop trees with an axe across the starting islands; the most common building resource. Ten Wood per window. |
Placement and Durability
Built pieces have 1,500 Max Health, so they hold up against weather and incidental damage while you are away from your base.
Pieces snap to a shared grid. Hold the place button and walk to stamp a run of window frames instead of positioning each one by hand.
The structure is raised almost instantly (build time about 1 second), so the limiting factor is gathering materials, not the timer.
Treat floors, walls, and roofs as one matched kit rather than mixing material tiers inside a single structure.

Usage and Tips
The Square Window is a good default for early bases because it costs only Wood and no stone, making it cheaper than the stone-framed Narrow Window.

Space several along a wall to light an interior evenly, and reserve the wider Large Window for feature walls where you want a bigger view.
