SJane3384 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I wanted to see if you could use carpentry skills to access it. I set up a sandbox game with no zombies and time ratio set to "Real Time" to find out. I created a guy named Testy McTest and spent awhile in WP gathering up supplies. After finding the first three carpentry books, a sledgehammer, axe, saw, hammer, and 20 boxes of nails, I headed over to the house. My plan was to build stairs across and knock off a piece of the roof, then drop down and see what was inside. A couple days and several hundred sawed logs later, this is what I found: OutsideInside As you can see, it's definitely not a viable safehouse. Once you drop down onto the water tiles, you aren't able to move off of whatever tile you landed on. It IS good to know you can build over water though. Having a floating safehouse with no zeds able to get underneath could be extremely useful.

psibomber Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Whoaa! Thank you for doing this! I tried to access that house but i couldn't build on the water tiles so i gave up. Smart of you to do that, but sad that poor Testy McTest is RIP of tilestuck. We'll just say he so desperately tried to create a zombieproof safehouse that he drowned! :C Sporange and SJane3384 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertJohnson Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 You can still make a fortress on the water, just take care if zombie enter in it, you won't have any escape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flachzang Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The question is if you can build a fortress under the water! NuclearSharkhead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJane3384 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Any good fortress builder has multiple exits You can make multiple exits on a water fortress. You'd just have to use sheet ropes and make sure they hang over land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MashPotato Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hehe, that boathouse should NOT be appearing like that, in game. In the map editor, there's a dock leading toward it, as well as places to stand within I'll have to look into this.

Jatta Pake Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Was anyone else hoping for some type of crazy rare loot easter egg inside the water house? Like a mint green Spiffo waiting to be found by someone crazy enough to do this? Zombiepupz and SJane3384 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombiepupz Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Jatta pakeOn an unrelated note. I am playing Keira Gray, my long lost sister!? More relatedish-Do this mean we can build across the river or build a boat(ish) on the lake/river?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJane3384 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Jatta Pake - who you calling crazy?!You can build across the river, but it will all be on the 2nd story. Because of the perspective, you could make it look like you built a houseboat, the only problem will be accessing land (though I guess in theory if you brought enough supplies you wouldn't have to).And Falke, they seem to be working for me. You just have to be extremely careful where you're holding E in an area with multiple...exits... lol. I've gone to climb down a sheet rope only to accidentally fall to my death on the tile next to it multiple times haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
