Ember says: building a new area is just a few honest steps done in the right order. Pick a spot, clear it out, give it a floor, then make it yours.

Pick an Empty Area
Choose a spot for your new place
Active
🎯
Goal for this step

Choose a good empty spot before you build anything.

  • 1Open your world in TEdit and scroll to find a quiet, empty patch of ground.
  • 2Pick a spot that is close to your base, so you can reach it without a long walk.
  • 3Try to avoid water, lava or big caves underneath, since those make building harder.
  • 4Mark the spot in your head as a rectangle. That rectangle will become your new area.

Carve Out the Space
Remove the rock to make room
Locked
🎯
Goal for this step

Clear the space by removing the rock inside it.

  • 1Carving out means removing the tiles inside your rectangle so the space becomes empty air.
  • 2In TEdit, use the same removing tool you used to dig tunnels back in Episode 7.
  • 3Work one row at a time so the shape stays neat and even.
  • 4Leave the ground under the rectangle in place. That will become your floor.

Build the Floor and Walls
Give it a solid base
Locked
🎯
Goal for this step

Make the space solid with a floor and surrounding walls.

  • 1A floor is the row of tiles along the bottom that you stand on.
  • 2The walls are the tiles around the edges that keep the space enclosed.
  • 3Add background walls behind the space too, so it counts as a safe room.
  • 4Pick one block type for the floor and keep it consistent, so the area looks planned and tidy.

Connect It to Your Base
Link it with a tunnel
Locked
🎯
Goal for this step

Reach your new area easily by linking it to your base.

  • 1A new area is much more useful if it is easy to reach from where you live.
  • 2Dig a tunnel from your base to the new area, using your Episode 7 skills.
  • 3Add background walls and torches along that tunnel so the trip is safe and clear.
  • 4Now your area is connected to the rest of your world, not stranded on its own.

Furnish the Area
Torches and platforms
Locked
🎯
Goal for this step

Furnish the area so it is easy to use and looks finished.

  • 1An empty room is hard to use. A few pieces make it feel done.
  • 2Place torches around the area so it is bright and safe.
  • 3Add platforms for moving up and down, and a door if you want an entrance.
  • 4Keep it simple. A light, a way up and a way in is a great start.

  • 3Test that it is safe and that the tunnel lets you get there easily.
