Although cob blocks also protect against the weather and the creatures that inhabit Vintage Story, roofing blocks will transform your hovel into a much better looking house.

Obtaining

Crafting

There are 6 types of roofing blocks players can craft: sod, thatch, bamboo, clay, slate and copper.

Sod roofing

Though their look is quite rustic, sod roof blocks require dry grass , boards and medium fertility soil to create. So they cannot be crafted early in the game since boards require a saw to be crafted.

• Block shapes: Slanted roofing, roofing corner (inner), roofing corner (outer), roof ridge and roof tip.
• Material variant: None.
• Appearance: The type of wood used to make the boards does not affect the final appearance of the sod roofing block.

Thatch roofing

Thatch roofing blocks require thatch (harvested using a knife from tule plants) or hay or aged hay to create. They can be crafted early in the game since these materials are easily obtained.

• Block shapes: Slanted roofing, roofing corner (inner), roofing corner (outer), roof ridge and roof tip.
• Material variant: thatch , hay , aged hay .

If you use aged hay (Grass) in those recipes, you will not get aged thatch roofing blocks but normal thatch roofing blocks.

Protip: You can recycle thatch roofing blocks (not aged thatch roofing blocks) if you place them in the crafting grid with a knife on their right. You will obtain 2 thatch, regardless if the block was crafted from thatch or hay.
