Guidelines about new building system
Foundation is base building block. Foundation required to place walls (door frames and window frames as well), pillars and stairs including foundation stairs. Foundation placement height can be aligned manually. It's not allowed to place foundation to deep in the ground. If one of the sides of foundation covered by landscape you still can place walls or pillars on it.
Floor placement requires at least 3 corners to be supported by walls or pillars. Floor blocks can't hold each other. Pillars placement recommended to make wider constructions. Foundation stairs required foundation block support and ground support as well.
To build second floor or higher floor blocks required. Floor also can support walls, pillars and stairs. If stairs placed instead of floor you can place walls and pillars above. Building destruction follows same rules as building placement.
Attention! With this global update, all previous game progress has been reset.
