I wanted to announce and publically thank the developers for all their time and effort they put into the game.
Here is what is in store for building. This is a no more instant building concept.

Who's excited!
What is that? Breakable foundations?

I think this more of upgrading. starting with a frame and building more onto it to make it more secure. If thats the thing then this is great
The left one looks like a trap door. Now we just need pressure plates :D

Cool, maybe we'll get trap doors and hatches.
It's partial construction. (That's a ceiling/floor tile). How that'll be handled mechanically I'm not sure but someone's been looking at the feature log.
Left : Trapdoor
Middle : Bridge/walkway?
Right : Normal Ceiling
maybe?

Ok cool so you can use the "frame" as a trapdoor
but whats the point of having to "upgrade" your ceiling, do they plan on increasing the wood cost?
buildings will not construct instantly anymore, first there will be the frame, then it's half built, then it's complete

Is it just like a timed thing? Or something like, spend 2 planks to set up the frame, spend 4 to get halfway, and spend 4 more to finish?

So instead of constructing 250 walls in your pack, you select build wall then place it, then stand and wait for it to build?
I like it.

I think it will be more like craft the ceiling then place & build the ceiling. I hope I am wrong though because I don't want more downtime. As it is now I already spend entire nights crafting building materials.
Looks like my days of placing wooden shelters + doors to avoid pvp combat when im carrying way too much stuff on me are almost over.
This is exactly what I was hoping for. The first two days of playing the game our house was raided. They couldn't handle how many of us were in the house so they just kept putting up walls and blocking us in our rooms. After the server got wiped I made a tower. Two guys broke in, and once they realised they couldn't get higher without a ton of c4 they destroyed my stairs and instantly put up a ceiling.
I managed to modify the tower so that there was a vault system now but the fact that I was on my way down to defend and was instantly blocked was frustrating.
A build timer is exactly what we need so the griefing is lessened. This along with building ownership and a weapon for admins that adds decay to whatever it hits (giving the ability to remove ceilings/pillars/foundations), will make griefing almost non-existent.
Hoping you hammer the construction site until it is finished, this same hammer should also be used to "deconstruct" misplaced objects
hope there are construction sounds too.
Seems cool, just need some explanation on how it will actually work
[QUOTE=utilitron;43554787]hope there are construction sounds too.[/QUOTE]
Construction sounds would be good, especially if they could trigger local nasties properly as well...
Would add a sense of urgency to building in more dangerous area's... sure you can build a tower on the edge of a rad zone, but can you get a defensible structure up before you've lured all the local nasties to your construction site?...
Wonder what is going to happen to the metal building parts that require a workbench to craft.
Maybe they can make the advanced workbench mobile so you can pick it up and place it near where you want to construct.
This is a poor idea in my opinion.
As a "lone wolf" player, as you will, it's already super "hardcore mode" playing alone. Some of us do it by choice, some of us do it because no one we know wants to play Rust or no one we encounter in-game ever wants to team up. Base building for a single person is already a chore as you have to divide your time between resource gathering, crafting, building and of course blueprint / item farming (not to mention raiding if you ever get to that point as a single player).
Making it so something has to build over time and we stand there and "wait", even if doesn't require us to stand there physically is just going to make things even more tedious and slow the game down even more. Not a fan of this.
