Revision 7

Overview

Windows is the transparent wall cutouts that let light into a building without compromising its roof status. Windrose offers 34 windowframe pieces across nine shape variants and every material tier.

Window Shapes

Material Variants

Windowframes come in the same material tiers as walls. The frame itself takes wood or stone; the glass pane is abstract and does not require a separate material. Sample recipe: Tier 4 Windowframe = Wood x15; Max Health 1,500.

Placement

Windows snap into wall slots the same way doors do. Walls with window cutouts are crafted separately; the windowframe is a piece that snaps into the cutout. Unlike doors, windows cannot be opened or closed and do not block movement (but arrows and ranged attacks pass through).

Tips

• Tall Windows require a stacked pair of walls; place the top wall first, then snap the Tall Window into the combined slot.

• Oval and Stained Glass windows are decoration-tier and do not provide more light in-game than standard windows, but they score higher at the Building Contest.

• A building with lots of Windows still passes the roof check for craft stations as long as the roof piece itself is in place.

• Stained Glass variants unlock from the same plan as Stained Glass doors: Elegant Stained Glass Doors and Windows; loot it from Foothills Points of Interest.

• Narrow Windows are useful for defensive outposts because they look like arrow slits; pair with Stockades for a rustic fortress aesthetic.
