Custom Roof

Custom roofs are custom buildings that provide shelter from rain and snow when built, most of the time. They were added in update v0.14 of The Forest.

Gameplay
Custom roofs are the only roof you can build that provide protection from rain and snow, most of the time. Currently, custom floors do not offer protection from rain. Custom roofs can be attached to many types of structures. They can serve many purposes, not just roofs. They can be used as ramps, scaffolding, bridges etc. Like most other custom buildings, custom roofs have a manual mode by pressing  while placing it. This can allow the player much more freedom when placing roofs or building unique designs. Custom roofs are extremely expensive and can often cost more than the custom foundations or custom floors. Ensure you are counting the logs when placing a roof. The higher you go, more logs will start to appear in the roof. If your building is wide, this could convert to 4 logs across instead of 2 logs across. 4 logs across is very expensive and should be avoided.

Important

 * v0.48 - (Building) Each floor and roof now has a 20 holes limit, this works around an issue in multiplayer causing clients to no longer receive holes past a certain amount, also prevents escalating computation costs due to inappropriate use of the hole cutter
 * v0.42 - Added new cheat code: “woodpaste”. Can be used to reset floor & roof holes in a saved game. Cheat works once when game is started then gets reset when going back to title screen. Does nothing for MP clients
 * v0.32 - '''Fire warm whole home system ! Enclosed custom structures with a lit fire on the floor now provide warmth regardless of player distance with the fire.

Building
Resource amount is based on its size

Custom roofs can be attached to the following buildings:

Known Bugs

 * When moving blueprints of Custom Roof over/into existing Defensive Walls, the blueprint will freeze in mid-air, and you have to restart usually.
 * Rain and snow sometimes come through the custom roof. It is unknown why this happens. Apparently this is a long standing bug within the game.
