However you may wish to extend the house underground later on to make room for the many machines you will make.Ĭliff house: You may not feel like doing all of the above, so you may dig a good sized shelter into a cliff, block up the front, and add a door. Regular house: There is nothing wrong with building a regular house to spend your first night. While this is a bother on the first night it can come in handy having a tunnel system connected to your house later on. If you do make a cave house, make sure that if the cave extends underground, you block it off to stop monsters attacking. The main two types are horizontal cave houses, where you build the front wall and use a door to get in and out, and vertical cave houses, where you build the roof and use ladders and hatches for access. Of course you could also mine DOWN from the treehouse's trunk and build a versatile base system.Ĭave house: Finding a cave and putting a wall/roof on is a really quick and easy way of building a house, as it only requires you to build a small amount, most of the work is done for you. The disadvantages of this course is that it makes it harder to put mine access in your house, and extend the house if ever you need more space. You can then hollow out the foliage and have a lovely base. The trunks are 3 by 3 blocks, so you can put a spiral staircase around the outside or use ladders straight up the middle. Treehouse: The Redpower rubberwood trees are enormous, will not burn and are quick to mine, making them ideal for making a treehouse. Remember to never use rubber trees for planks, since later on you'll be able to make some cool machines that make rubber trees a lot more useful. This is a quick way to collect a large amount of wood. (This will not work on the small and big rubber trees). To collect all of the wood from an entire tree easily, simply destroy the bottom block, and the tree will collapse into all of its components. Get three wood blocks by punching a tree with your bare hands, then make a crafting table and an axe. The process of looting trees has become a lot more simple in the Technic pack due to the inclusion of DraftPV's Treecapitator mod. You must gather wood, acquire food and find shelter. The first few tasks are exactly the same as those in vanilla.

As soon as you spawn have a look at the lay of the land with Rei's Minimap.
