Overview

In-game description
A building plan. You can use this to craft buildings - right click when equipped for more options.

Every wall you will ever own starts here. Hold the plan, press RMB and pick a piece: foundation, wall, doorway, floor, stairs. It goes down as twig, paid in wood, and twig is so weak that a rock knocks it over. So the plan never works alone; the hammer is what turns the frame into a base.

It costs twenty wood and no bench, and every player starts the wipe with the blueprint already known. The tooltip on paper still says it goes into the plan, but the recipe takes wood only, so you need no paper for it at all.

  1. Lay the foundations and walls of a small 2x1 with one doorway.
  2. Place a Tool Cupboard inside and auth on it, so nobody else can build around you.
  3. Upgrade everything with the hammer before you leave, to stone if you can.
  4. Hang a door and put a code lock on it.

The plan stays in use all wipe. Every expansion, extra wall layer and shooting floor goes down with it, and since nobody can build inside another group's cupboard range, the same rule keeps a neighbour's plan off your walls. Keep it in the hotbar; losing it to a roamer costs a handful of wood.
