A log cabin is a constructable building. Inside is a 4x4 tile housing in which furniture or liftable containers can be stored. Anything liftable left in a log cabin will not decay, making it a good storage area.
This is especially true for Cupboards which are destroyed in one decay hit. Any items that can go into the housed cupboard (Such as blocks of wood, straw, and any other inventory item.) can still be lost, however.
If a log cabin is allowed to decay completely, all objects contained inside will remain where the cabin once stood.
How to Acquire
In order to begin constructing a log cabin you must have a 5x5* paved or grassland area (4x4 if using custom placegrid values and centering the construction zone inside of a 4x4 square) of flat ground for the log cabin to set down. See Terraforming for information on how to level terrain, plow a field, and lay stone. Log cabins require 80 blocks of wood, 40 boards, and 20 thatching material of any type, making it unwise to begin construction without ready access to wood and boughs.
Like other higher soak buildings, Log Cabins start with very little when they're first constructed, slowly gaining more over the course of 3 days until their soak is at maximum. This makes it possible for even a brand new character to destroy a freshly built cabin in a short amount of time with just a stone axe.
Appearance
Outer Wall: Primary Blocks, outer color
Door: Primary Boards, inner color
Pointy bits on the corners: Secondary Blocks, inner color
Roof: Primary Thatching
Primary materials are based on the most prevalent type. The amount of secondary materials must be at least 50% that of the primary, or the primary material will be used for the secondary colours as well.
