Beginner's Fancy Block Shelter Recipe

Beginner's Fancy Block Shelter Recipie

The guide is broken down into two parts. First is the prep. This will go through building a lot of the components first so you can just put it together in the construction section.

Preparation For The Fancy Block Shelter

When this guide refers to combining this means pressing T when you have the proper items in each hand. This is the key to combine items. Sometimes you will have to press T more than once to fully join two items together
This is a very long and very difficult build. If you are a true beginner I wouldn't suggest trying to craft this as it takes thousands of resources. You should stick to the normal wooden shelter for now

First you need to combine wood with wood. This will make a precarious block. You need to do this a total of 282 times so you have 282 precarious blocks
Next you need to add clay to each precarious block. That is clay combined with precarious block. This will make 282 blocks
Now each one of your newly created blocks need to be turned into sticky blocks. To do this you combine clay with block to make 1 sticky block. Do this 282 times so you have a total of 282 sticky blocks
Next start combining sticky block with sticky block. This will make 1 huge block each time. Keep doing this until you have turned all 282 sticky blocks into 141 huge blocks
Now the huge blocks need to be covered with clay. To do this you combine clay with the huge blocks. This will require you to press T 6 times for each block to add clay to each side. Do this with all 141 huge blocks so you have a total of 141 huge sticky blocks
Now you can leave the huge sticky blocks alone for a little bit, it is time to make a lot of carved wood
combine your knife with wood to make carved wood. You need to do this a total of 300 times so you have 300 pieces of carved wood
Next you need to use your knife on 228 pieces of your carved wood. This will make 228 shaft. When you are done you will have 228 shaft and 72 carved wood remaining. The carved wood will be used in a little bit. We'll continue working with the shafts to get them all prepped for the later stages
Combine glue with 8 of the shafts to make 8 sticky shaft. These will be used later in the build. You should have 220 normal shaft remaining
Next combine shaft with shaft to make long shafts. You need to do this a total of 40 times so you have 40 long shaft. This will use up 80 more normal shafts so you will have a total of 140 remaining
Now you need to make some sticky long shafts, but only 24 of them. To do this combine glue with a long shaft to make 1. do this 24 times so you have 24 sticky long shafts and 16 normal long shafts remaining
Combine 16 of the sticky shafts with the 16 remaining normal long shafts. Each time you do this you will get 1 very long shaft. Do this 16 times so you have 16 very long shafts and 8 sticky long shafts remaining. the sticky long shafts will be used later in the guild
Next you need to combine knife with 12 of the very long shafts. You'll have to press T multiple times with each one to fully notch it. This will make a single notched very long shaft each time. continue doing this until you have 12 single notched very long shafts. You will have 4 normal very long shafts remaining which will be used later in the build
now use your knife again on the 12 single notched very long shafts. Each time you combine them you will make a double notched very long shaft. Like above you will have to press T multiple times to fully notch each one
Finally add glue to each one of your double notched long shafts. You will have to press T a couple times for each one. It will make a sticky double notched very long shaft each time. You need a total of 12 of these. These will be used later in the build
Now with the 72 carved wood you have left over from earlier. You need to combine carved wood with carved wood 36 times to make 36 plank. this will use up all of your carved wood
then combine 12 of your planks with glue to make 12 sticky planks. You will have 24 normal planks left over after this is completed
Next combine 4 of your sticky planks with normal planks to make 4 sturdy planks. After this is done you will have 4 sturdy planks, 8 sticky planks, and 20 normal planks. These will all be used later in the build
Now we'll start using up the rest of the 140 normal shafts you have remaining from earlier. Start by combining shaft with huge sticky block 118 times. This will make 118 pegged huge sticky block. You will have 22 shafts and 23 huge sticky blocks remaining
Next you need to combine shaft with 22 of your pegged huge sticky blocks you just made. This will create 22 double pegged huge sticky blocks. This will use up the rest of your shafts
Next is the process of making rows of sticky blocks. This is being done now so you can harden all the blocks at once instead of at different points through the craft
To make a row of huge blocks you combine a pegged huge sticky block with a normal huge sticky block. This combines two of them and you will have two combined huge sticky blocks. do this 23 times to use up all your normal huge sticky blocks, and so you have 23 sets of two combined huge sticky blocks
Next you combine another pegged huge sticky block with each of the two combined huge sticky blocks. this will make 3 combined huge sticky blocks. do this 23 times so you have 23 sets of 3 combined huge sticky blocks
Then you combine another pegged huge sticky block with each set of 3 combined huge sticky blocks. This makes 4 combined huge sticky blocks. Do this 23 times as well so you have 23 sets of 4 combined huge sticky blocks
Finally for the rows add one additional pegged huge sticky block to each set of 4 combined huge sticky blocks. Each time you do this it will make a sticky row of huge blocks. Do it 23 times so you have 23 sticky row of huge blocks
Now you will have 23 sticky row of huge blocks, 22 double pegged huge sticky blocks, and 4 remaining pegged huge sticky blocks. It is time to harden them with fire to make them into blocks you can build your shelter with
Make a fire with a good amount of health because this will take some time. You need to cook each row of huge blocks, each double pegged huge sticky block, and each pegged huge sticky block. a fully cooked sticky row of huge blocks turns into a row of huge blocks. a double pegged huge sticky block turns into a double pegged huge block when fully cooked. And a pegged huge sticky block turns into a pegged huge block when finished cooking
To cook the pieces first make sure you are standing on a fire tile. Then draw the item you want to cook in a hand. then press space while at your fire and you will hear it cooking. when it is finished it will be taken out of your hand and the finished item will be in your inventory. Cook everything so you have 23 row of huge blocks, 22 double pegged huge block, and 4 pegged huge block
if one of your double pegged or pegged blocks cracks while cooking it. you can combine the cracked block with clay to make a repaired block. then cook the repaired block again and it will be a normal hardened block like all the rest that successfully cooked
Once you have all your rows of blocks and blocks cooked it is time to move on to the next preparation steps. The blocks and rows of blocks will be used later in the craft
Next you need to combine clay with glue. This makes 10 sticky glue each time. Do this 17 times so you have a total of 170 sticky clay
Now you need to make some powdered oyster shells for adding to the sticky clay. To do this first combine oyster with skillet 17 times. This will make 1 skillet filled with oyster shells each time. do it 17 times
Next sit down and combine hammer with each skillet filled with oyster shells. after doing this 17 times you will have 17 skillets filled with crushed oyster shells. You will have to press T multiple times for each combination
Now you need to combine hammer with each skillet filled with crushed oyster shells. Each time you do this you will get a skillet filled with powdered oyster shells. Do this 17 times so you have 17 skillet filled with powdered oyster shells
Now it's time to take all those powdered shells out of the skillet. Alt combine (alt + T) skillet filled with powdered oyster shells with hand to separate the shells from the skillet. This will give you 10 powdered oyster shells each time. There is also a chance your skillet is destroyed after all the hammering, you will receive a destroyed skillet in your inventory if this was the case
Next you need to combine powdered oyster shells with sticky clay. each time you do this it will use up 10 sticky clay and 10 powdered oyster shells. You will get 10 cheap clay mortar. do this 17 times so you end with 17 cheap clay mortar
Now it is time to start making strings/tied strings/heavily tied strings for the roof and floor
First you need 880 string, if you don't have this you need to combine grass with grass until you have a total of 880 string
Once you have your 880 string you need to start combining string with string to make tied string. each time you do this it will use 10 string and you will make 1 tied string. do this with all 880 string so you have 88 tied string
Now you need to combine tied string with tied string to make heavily tied string. Do this 40 times so you have 40 heavily tied string. This will use 80 pieces of tied string leaving you with 8 remaining. the 8 tied string will be used later in the build
Next is a very annoying bit. alt use heavily tied string with hand. make sure your second hand is empty or you'll have issues. you need to draw a piece of heavily tied string and hit alt space, this will attempt to loop it. you need 16 looped heavily tied string. there is a chance it will tangle however
If you end up with some tangled heavily tied string you need to combine it with a hand to untangle it and then try to re loop it. To continue you need 16 looped heavily tied string and 24 normal heavily tied string
Now combine a looped heavily tied string with grass. this makes 1 single looped small bunch of grass. do this 8 times so you have 8 single looped small bunch of grass
next combine the single looped small bunch of grass with grass. this makes 1 single looped medium bunch of grass. repeat this process 8 times as well so you have 8 single looped medium bunch of grass
now combine grass with each one of your single looped medium bunch of grass so you end up with 8 single looped large bunch of grass. in total each large bunch requires 60 grass. 25 for small bunch, 20 for medium bunch, and 15 for large bunch
Now you should have 8 single looped large bunch of grass. you need to combine each one of these with a looped heavily tied string. this will make 8 double looped large bunch of grass. You will have to combine double looped large bunch of grass with looped heavily tied string 8 times
Now you are all set to move on to the construction of the shelter

Construction of the Fancy Block Shelter

Now we'll get into putting together the different pieces of the shelter.

Start by combining a row of huge blocks with a double pegged huge block. This will make 1 single pegged row of huge blocks. You will have to hit T multiple times to connect them. You need to do this a total of 11 times. Make sure you don't go over 11, or you will have to remake a row of huge blocks. When you are done you should have 11 single pegged row of huge blocks and 12 normal row of huge blocks remaining
Next combine a double pegged huge block with each single pegged row of huge blocks. This will make 1 double pegged row of huge blocks each time you do it. This will also require you to press T multiple times. Do this a total of 11 times so you end up with 11 double pegged row of huge blocks. This will use up all of your double pegged huge blocks
Now you need to combine a row of huge blocks with the double pegged row of huge blocks. This will make 1 L shape row of huge blocks. You will have to press T multiple times to combine them. Do this a total of 6 times so you end with 6 L shape row of huge blocks. When you are finished you will have 6 normal row of huge blocks remaining
Next you need to combine each L shape row of huge blocks with another normal row of huge blocks. This will create 1 U shape row of huge blocks every time. You will have to press T multiple times to completely combine them. Do this 6 times so you end up with 6 U shape row of huge blocks. This will use up all of your normal rows of huge blocks
Now you need to combine a double pegged row of huge blocks with 5 of the U shape row of huge blocks. You'll have to press T multiple times for each one. Each time you do this it will make a shelter block square. This will use up all of your double pegged rows of huge blocks. When finished you should have 5 Block Shelter Square. You will have one U shape row of huge blocks remaining, this will be used later in the craft
It's time to start covering the 5 shelter block squares with cheap clay mortar. To do this combine cheap clay mortar with a shelter block square. You will have to hit T Multiple times. This will make 1 quarter covered shelter block square. Do this 55 times so you end with 5 quarter covered shelter block squares
You need to keep doing this with the quarter covered block squares. combine cheap clay mortar with quarter covered, then with three quarter covered, then you will have 5 mortar covered shelter block squares
Combine mortar covered shelter block square with mortar covered shelter block square. This will make loosely connected shelter half walls. Do this two times so you have 2 loosely connected shelter half walls
To tighten up the half walls combine hammer with loosely connected shelter block square. You'll have to press T multiple times for each one. Do this 2 times so you have 2 block Shelter half walls
Now you need to cover each one of the block shelter half walls with cheap clay mortar. Combine cheap clay mortar with block shelter half walls to get quarter covered. then cheap clay mortar + quarter covered to get half covered. then half covered with cheap clay mortar to get three fourths covered. then finally cheap clay mortar + three fourths covered to get mortar covered block shelter half walls. Do this 2 times so you get 2 mortar covered block shelter half walls
Next combine your two mortar covered block shelter half walls with one another to get loosely connected block shelter walls. This is simply mortar covered block shelter half walls + mortar covered block shelter half walls. This will make 1 loosely connected block shelter walls
To tighten up the walls combine hammer with loosely connected block shelter walls and you will have 1 normal block shelter walls. You will have to press T multiple times
Next you need to combine cheap clay mortar with the 1 remaining U shape row of huge blocks. This will make 1 half covered U shape row of huge blocks. Combine cheap clay mortar with the half covered U shape row of huge blocks to get a mortar covered U shape row of huge blocks
Now combine your recently made mortar covered U shape row of huge blocks with the block shelter walls and you will get 1 block shelter walls with loosely connected roof support
To tighten it up combine hammer with the shelter walls with loosely connected roof support. You will have to press T multiple times. When completed you will have 1 shelter walls with roof support
Now it is time to add the thatch roof. This is where the bunches of grass come in. You need a simple ladder for this. If you don't have one you need to refer to the guide here on BSG on how to make a simple ladder
Draw your block shelter walls with roof support. Once it is drawn then put the double looped large bunch of grass on one side and then your simple ladder on the other side. It will look something like this. you have simple_ladder in your left hand, double_looped_large_bunch_of_grass in your right hand, and you have drawn block_shelter_walls_with_roof_support
Once you have the above step right you can start hitting T to lay the bunches of grass on the roof. This will use up all 8 bunches of grass and when finished you will have 1 floorless block shelter
Combine your 1 remaining mortar covered shelter block square with the floorless block shelter to make 1 block shelter with floor support
Now you need to combine cheap clay mortar with the block shelter with floor support. You will have to press T quite a bit of times. When finished you will have 1 block shelter with mortar covered floor support. Next we'll start making the floor
The first step for making the floor is to combine sticky double notched very long shaft with a normal very long shaft. Do this 4 times so you end up with 4 loosely connected sticky floor half frame
Now combine a heavily tied string with each sticky loosely connected floor half frame. Do this 4 times so you end up with 4 sticky floor half frame. You will have to press T multiple times to finish connecting them
Combine sticky floor half frame with sticky floor half frame 2 times. This will make 2 loosely connected floor frame
Now combine heavily tied string with each of the loosely connected floor frame. This will create 2 flimsy floor frame. You will have to press T multiple times to fully wrap both sides of the frame
Now you need to add supports to help with the stability of the floor frame. To do this combine sticky double notched very long shaft with flimsy floor frame. This will use up 4 sticky double notched very long shaft each time you do it. You will have to press T multiple times. Do this twice so you have 2 flimsy floor frame with loosely connected supports
Next combine heavily tied string with each of your flimsy floor frame with loosely connected supports. You will have to press T multiple times for each one. When finished you will have 2 flimsy floor frame with supports. This will use up all the heavily tied string you made in the preparation steps above. it uses 8 for each frame
Then combine flimsy floor frame with supports + flimsy floor frame with supports. This will make 1 of two things. If lucky it will make 1 loosely connected block shelter floor frame. If unlucky it will make a mis aligned block shelter floor frame. If yours is mis aligned then just combine it with hammer to get a loosely connected block shelter floor frame
Now it is time to use the 8 tied string from way back in the guide. Combine tied string with the loosely connected block shelter floor frame. This will make 1 block shelter floor frame. You'll have to press T multiple times and it will use up all 8 of the remaining tied string
Combine glue with the block shelter floor frame. You'll have to press T multiple times. When finished you will have 1 sticky block shelter floor frame
Next combine sticky block shelter floor frame with plank. This will use up the 20 plank you have remaining from earlier, and you will have to press T multiple times. When finished you will have 1 block shelter floor 1
Don't put this on your shelter! if you want a table and chairs don't add this to your shelter yet! if you do you will have a simple block shelter, not a fancy one
Next you need to make some holes in the shelter floor for the table and chairs. To do this you need a pointed stone. if you don't have one it is just stone + stone, hit multiple times and you will have 1 pointed stone
You need to draw your pointed stone. Once it is drawn then put hammer on one side and the block shelter floor on the other. If you hit 3 it should look something like this. you have hammer in your left hand, block_shelter_floor_1 in your right hand, and you have drawn pointed_stone.
Once you have the above all set start hitting T until all the holes are punched in the shelter floor. This will make 1 holey block shelter floor. Now it's time to make some chairs!
Remember those 4 sturdy planks from earlier? Well you need those now. with pointed stone drawn combine hammer with sturdy plank. This will make 1 sturdy plank with four holes in it. Do this 4 times so you have 4 sturdy plank with 4 holes in it
Now combine the sticky shafts you made earlier with the sturdy planks with four holes in them. Do this 4 times. Each time you have to press T multiple times and it will use 2 sticky shaft. When you are finished you will have 4 sturdy planks with two holes in it and two shafts
Next add the sticky long shafts to each sturdy plank with two holes in it and two shafts. This will make a chair with no back. You have to press T multiple times and each time it will use 2 sticky long shaft. When finished you will have 4 chair with no back
To add a back to your chair just combine sticky plank with chair with no back. This will make 1 simple chair. do this 4 times so you have 4 simple chair
Now you need to add each chair to your holey block shelter floor individually. When you add 1 you will have a holey block shelter floor with 1 of 4 chairs. Add the second and it will be two of four. Keep doing this until you have a holey block shelter floor with 4 chairs
Now to add the table you use the 4 pegged blocks you have. Add them to the floor individually. The first one will make holey block shelter floor with four chares and one fourth table. Combine this with a pegged huge block and it will have a half table. keep doing this and you will have 1 block shelter floor with unfinished table and four chairs
To complete the floor and the table you just combine your 4 remaining sticky plank with the block shelter floor with unfinished table and four chairs. You will have to press T multiple times. When finished you will have a block shelter floor 2
nearly done now. Combine your block shelter floor 2 with the block shelter with mortar covered floor support. This will make 1 fancy block shelter with loosely connected floor support
last step! yay! combine hammer with fancy block shelter with loosely connected floor. You have to hit T multiple times. When finished you will have 1 *Fancy Block Shelter
