Accessing the Roof Building Menu

Available Roof Types

Roof Corner and Clover Roof

Roof Square Corner

Moving one slot further in the menu, you’ll discover the roof square corner piece. This roof type is specifically designed to fit perfectly into corner spots within your base. The roof square corner fills these areas nicely and works seamlessly with the structure you’ve already built.

Flat Roof

Located in the fifth slot of the roof section, the flat roof piece provides a clean, level covering for your base.

Tips for Roof Placement

When building your roof, consider your overall base design and aesthetic preferences. Different roof types serve different purposes—use roof corners and square corners for custom angles and corners, and opt for the flat roof when you want clean, horizontal coverage. Experiment with different combinations to find what works best for your playstyle and design vision.
