- | ====== Basic Guide to Places I - How to Get Started ====== | ||
- | So, you've been traveling around the island, and stumbled across various houses, stores, and wildlife preserves on map squares. And you're thinking that maybe you'd like a place to call your own, too. Problem is, you have no idea how to get yourself a sweet little place to play with. LOOK NO FURTHER! | ||
- | |||
- | ====Step One: Go to Improbable Central.==== | ||
- | |||
- | There' | ||
- | |||
- | ====Step Two: Buy a land stake.==== | ||
- | |||
- | This will cost you 100 [[: | ||
- | |||
- | ====Step Three: Decide where you want your Place!==== | ||
- | |||
- | Travel to the map square you want your Place to be on. There will be an option in the left-hand menu to plant a stake. | ||
- | |||
- | There is room for four places on each map square with buildable terrain. (If there are already four Places on that square, you'll have to choose somewhere else.) Buildable terrain includes grass, beach, jungle, stone and snow, but not water or swamp. | ||
- | |||
- | Well done! You are now the proud owner of an empty plot. Go inside and have a look. It will tell you that you need 100 wood and 50 stone for the initial construction. This brings us on nicely to the next step. | ||
- | |||
- | ====Step Four: Build your Place.==== | ||
- | |||
- | Aside from land stakes, Suzie also rents out three handy toolkits. These include: | ||
- | |||
- | ===The Carpentry Kit=== | ||
- | |||
- | This kit will allow you to cut down logs ((These are heavy. | ||
- | |||
- | You need 100 logs to build your Place. Once you have these 100 logs, then the carpentry kit is also needed to build them into your Place. There will be a button to press inside your Place, the same place in your Place where it told you how much stone and wood you needed. Your Place will also have an inventory where you can keep any spare logs for later use. | ||
- | |||
- | ===The Masonry Kit=== | ||
- | |||
- | This kit allows you to carve chunks of rock out of Mountain squares and install them in your Place. You need 50 stones ((and you thought //logs// were awesomely heavy? | ||
- | |||
- | **Note:** Each toolkit costs a cig a day. If you do not have enough cigs, adventure in the jungle or donate. Also, make sure that you have plenty of stamina before renting one, and time until the next NewDay when the kits disappear again. | ||
- | |||
- | ====Step Five: Decorating the outside.==== | ||
- | |||
- | Great. You now have an ' | ||
- | |||
- | Inside your Place, down the left hand side, you will see a menu of ' | ||
- | |||
- | This brings up two input boxes. The first small one is for changing the name of the house - the name of the little link in the sidebar that people see when they' | ||
- | |||
- | **Hint:** Seeing as the box for the description isn't //that// big, it's a good idea to type it out in a text editor first, then copy and paste. That way, when you make mistakes, they' | ||
- | <note important> | ||
- | |||
- | **Pro tip:** If you'd like to display out the player' | ||
- | |||
- | Your place is not actually // | ||
- | |||
- | ===The Decorating Kit=== | ||
- | |||
- | Rent a decorating kit from Suzie and take it up to your Place along with plenty of stamina. Enter said Place. In the links on the left sidebar you should now see a link 'Show current jobs in this Place' under the menu 'Help with Construction' | ||
- | ====Step Six: Decorate the inside.==== | ||
- | |||
- | You should, by now, have some idea of how to do this. Click 'Job Creation' | ||
- | |||
- | ==WARNING: | ||
- | It's worth while having a little think about what you want to do first. If you've built a nice home for yourself and then decide that you want to have a front garden first, then rearranging everything is an annoyance. ((Far better than in Dwellings, though, when it was virtually impossible)) | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ====Step Seven: Expanding your Place==== | ||
- | ===Rooms=== | ||
- | Once you have the main structure up, you'll probably want to make it bigger. Remember that 'Job creation' | ||
- | |||
- | It takes 60 logs and 20 stone to build a new room. You've done this sort of thing before, and should be used to it. The logs need a carpentry kit, the stone needs a masonry kit. | ||
- | |||
- | ===Doors=== | ||
- | Once built, your new room needs connecting to the Place. Create a job again, and this time pick 'New Door'. This build job needs ten wood. | ||
- | |||
- | Select which two Rooms the Door is to link; for your first room you //can// only select room1 and room2, but once you have three or more, things can get interesting - any two rooms can be linked by a door, and you can build as many doors as you want! | ||
- | |||
- | ===More Decoration=== | ||
- | Now you just need to decorate it, exactly the same as for the first room. | ||
- | |||
- | ==WARNING: | ||
- | It's very easy to get carried away with the building, "I want a library here, and a kitchen there..." | ||
- | |||
- | ====That' | ||
- | You can now get out there and build a Place. It can be a castle, a zoo, a homely cottage or anything else you can imagine and write. Remember: Suzie' | ||

- | Once you've got the hang of this, then have a look at some of the following for more cool things that you can do. | ||
