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.
