Overview

Roof 3x2 is a roof building that occupies a 3x2 footprint and provides a sheltered area while interacting with building power transmission mechanics. The roof's structural tiles occupy six center tiles within its placement rectangle, leaving additional surrounding tiles within its Area of Effect that are considered affected but not occupied by the roof structure itself. Roof 3x2 is categorized under Roofs and is commonly used in builds where compact shelter and routing of power or visuals matter.

The Area of Effect for Roof 3x2 covers 20 tiles arranged as a 5x4 rectangle. Of those 20 tiles, the center six are the roof's occupied structure, and the remaining 14 tiles are affected by the roof but are not physically occupied by its structure. The roof transmits on its bottom surface. It is therefore possible to transmit power between two buildings if those buildings are positioned under the two sides of the roof and platforms are placed in between to complete the connection. This makes Roof 3x2 useful as a compact conduit for power transmission across a small gap while keeping buildings sheltered.

  • Area of Effect: 20 tiles in a 5x4 rectangle; 6 tiles occupied by the roof structure; 14 tiles affected but unoccupied.
  • Power behavior: transmits power on its bottom surface; can bridge power between two buildings placed under opposite sides when platforms occupy intermediate tiles.
  • Typical placement considerations: center the roof over the area to be sheltered while aligning underlying buildings so their power connections run beneath the roof’s bottom surface. Use platforms under the roof where needed to complete power paths.
  • Visual and design use: Roof 3x2 appears in example builds and dedicated presentations as a compact roofing option for tight layouts and decorative or functional roofing clusters.

Roof 3x2 combines compact coverage with functional power transmission beneath its surface, making it suited for dense settlements where both shelter and routed infrastructure are required.
