A foundation is a buildable structure in Stranded Deep. It can only be crafted.
Description[]
Foundations act as the base for a player's structural builds; without a foundation, the player will not be able to build a stable shelter. There are 2 types of foundations - wedge and full. Once a foundation is set, the player will then be able to attach any sort of extension or addition, including Walls, to expand or fortify their shelter. Requirements to make a foundation:
Wood foundation:
- Stick (x4) (3 for wedge)
- Any type of hammer
- Craftsmanship level 2.
Plank foundation:
- Plank scrap (x4) (3 for wedge)
- Any type of hammer
- Craftsmanship level 3.
Corrugated scrap foundation:
- Corrugated scrap (x4) (3 for wedge)
- Any type of hammer
- Craftsmanship level 4.
Brick foundation:
- Brick scrap (x4) (3 for wedge)
- Any type of hammer
- Craftsmanship level 5.
The foundation's direction in the planning phase can be adjusted by holding Q and E respectively. Once crafted and placed, it will need to be hammered until the structure's health fills up. To remove a structure, use any type of harvesting tool and hit the foundation. Once destroyed, it will yield back some of the resources, depending on your craftsmanship level.
Notes[]
- Players are able to make practical use of the foundation by setting it up as a makeshift 'barbeque grill'. This can be done by placing a foundation over a lit campfire before dropping food items onto it - the foundation will suspend the food over the fire, while fire burning through the foundation will cook it.
- All creatures are able to move through any buildable structure. Brick foundations are least likely to let them through.
- A refined hammer hammers more effectively than a crude hammer.
- Some structures, like the shelter can be placed on top of foundations.
- The player must have a hammer in their inventory to be able to build structures.
