Episode 05 – Basic Terraforming
Wayfarer is laying down foundations for building a structure on top of his mine. The mine was dug out of a stone formation on the beach.

Episode 07 – Building a Roof
Now that Wayfarer has completed the walls to his workshop, it is time to put the roof on. In this episode, Wayfarer works with wooden beams and wooden logs to make a wooden roof to his workshop.

Episode 09 – Building a House with Logs and Beams
Wayfarer has been using a pretty effective approach to building old world structures in Rising World. Using wooden beams and wooden logs in combination allows one to use the grid while allowing things to look more natural and less blocky. In this episode, Wayfarer builds the first floor of his house, using logs, beams, windows, and stone blocks. He works the logs in around the windows and starts the second floor around a staircase. The house is more of a lodge since it is much bigger than a log cabin.
Episode 10 – ore Building Techniques & Frustrations
Wayfarer has his ups and downs in this episode while trying to build a roof for the second floor of his log home. He utilizes scaffolding in multiple ways to try and get the right angles to position logs.

He succeeds in the end with the roof and is considering some other strategies to make the process easier. The frustrations can and must be overcome.
Episode 11 – Building with Scaffolding, Making Plank Stairs, and Wooden Banister
Sometimes building in Rising World can get a little frustrating. Wayfarer got frustrated in the last episode, but took the opportunity to work on his approach a bit more, and can now offer some Rising World building techniques and tips. He starts by explaining the different types of scaffolding, including the ramp, regular scaffolding, and the frame. He then proceeds to work on some stairs using wooden beams and wooden planks. The stone block stairs were proving difficult since blocks do not work well with wooden beams, which were what the second floor was made out of. He then proceeds to the roof and is having a much easier time putting up the logs and beams for the roof. Before ending the episode, he shows how to make banisters and railings out of wood so the you do not need to use iron rods like the banisters in the saw bench crafting station requires.
Episode 12 – Crafting Furniture & Making a Fireplace
Now that the log house has been built, there are many rooms to be filled with furniture. In this episode, Wayfarer begins this task by making a bed, chest, and shelf for each bedroom. He then makes a table and chairs for the dining room. He looks at multiple chair types and table types to select the style that goes best with the place. The furniture types can be made to match between the different options. Toward the end of the episode, he makes a fireplace out of stone for a multi-level fireplace with chimney combination. A fireplace sure warms up the look of the place.
