Dynamic Building?

So will I be able to collect materials from the world (logs, sticks, stone, etc) and actually physically place down the logs to make a cabin? Or will it be similar to a blueprint system where you can choose from a pre-made list of buildings. Also, materials such as bricks and other stone items, will they have to be smelted/heated up to form into other types of building materials (such as brick walls, etc). Im also wondering will there be systems such as pipes for indoor irrigation, etc?

No, yes, no. There is an Architect Tool that lets people draw up blueprints.

Yeah

Highly doubtful as Soulbound has said in a Q&A that they aren't going to put a lot of time into water physics since it would have a negative impact of how well the game will play for many people. But maybe something like that will be discovered as people do various research.

There is a lot of info on this and I'm at work so I highly recommend you read DJ #14 and #15, they're chock full of good info. And welcome to the community!

I had a dream of building a vivarium...that'd be impossible if we can't do any form of terraforming though. Would we be able to maneuver land and water inside buildings? Like dumping dirt into a corner of a room or redirecting pipes (I'm assuming eventually piping water is going to be a thing) to run a certain way?
