1. Place a
bench where you want to start your bookshelf and lock
it down.
2. Stack an
item (in this case a runebook) on top of the bench
and lock it down.
3. Repeat this
process until the bookshelf is as high as you would
like it to be (ceiling height is nine benches with
eight items in between).
Now you know
the basics of building a bookshelf. You can make a
basic bookshelf as wide as you like; they make a nice
way to block off the open back wall of a small
workshop.
Here are some
variations on the basic bookshelf you may wish to try:
Wine Rack
(only works
on West wall, facing East)
1. A wine rack
is stacked between two basic bookshelves, so start
out with one basic bookshelf in the first tile.
2. In the next
tile, stack one bench and lock it down.
3. Stack two
fishsteaks on top of that.
4. Stack a
bottle of wine, ale, or liquor on top of that and
lock it down.
5. Stack one
fish steak on top of that.
6. Repeat the
process (stacking one bench, locking it down,
stacking two fish steaks, stacking one bottle,
locking it down, stacking one fish steak).
7. Repeat the
process again, only this time stack two fish steaks
on top of the bottle (one bench, lock it down, two
fish steaks, one bottle, lock it down, two fish
steaks).
8. Place one
bench on top and lock it down.
9. Build
another basic bookshelf in the tile next to the wine
rack. Once the fish steaks decay and disappear (give
them time) you will be left with a lovely wine rack/bookshelf!
(If you use
an interior decorator tool instead of fish steaks,
your wine rack will be 1 level lower, as in the
picture.)
Raised
Shelves
(these make
nice decorative additions to otherwise functional
rooms)
1. In my
opinion, raised shelves look best over wooden chests
or worktables, so you'll probably want to stack one
or the other (or a combination thereof) first.
2. Stack
fishsteaks or use an interior decorating tool to
raise an even level of benches above that.
3. If you
wish, you can stack items on top of the benches (shelves
really look better with something on them).
(These
raised shelves look best against a solid wall and are
only shown here for instructional purposes.)
Other
Decorative Touches
Here is a
bookshelf sandwiched between two stone pillars... the
pillars are made by stacking in order: 2 iron ore, 1
dull copper ore, 2 agapite ore, 1 iron ore, 2 dull
copper ore, 1 agapite ore, 2 iron ore, 1 dull copper
ore, 2 agapite ore, 1 iron ore, 2 dull copper ore, 1
agapite ore, 2 iron ore, 1 dull copper ore, 2 agapite
ore, 1 iron ore, and 2 dull copper ore (17 total
lockdowns for each pillar).
Here is the
same stone/wood bookshelf with some dried flowers and
onions stacked on the stone pillars (I used an
interior decorating tool to raise them).
