Fireplace and chimey: Every house in this game needs a working fireplace that can only be built on the ground. To counter this issue and build a fireplace in your house, first destroy one wooden plank and build a fireplace on it. Now you can attack the wooden plank underneath it again to make it look nice and clean.
A fireplace requires a chimney and a roof for protection from external factors. Otherwise, the smoke will gather and cause you to take damage and rain will extinguish it. You can use wooden planks on each side to build an elaborate chimney and place a small 4×4 roof to protect it from rain. This chimney will guide the smoke safely out of the house while also enhancing its appearance.
Understanding structure strength: Each construct that you build will come attached with a strength depicted by colors. Blue and green mean healthy, while yellow-orange denotes relative strength, but red is unacceptable. Use your hammer to survey your house to locate a weak foundation, now you need to install supporting structures to make it turn back to yellow or green color.
