Flat glass roofs?

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this, but in this image showing off the terrain tools the roof looks completely flat. It doesn't seem to be in an angle at all, not even the lowest option. Also, it doesn't seem to be made out of low fences but actual roofs since you can see the glass. Are we getting completely flat glass roofs besides the terrain tools in the next patch?

  • Yeah it's just a normal roof that's very low down so it looks flat from that particular angle.
  • Yeah, you guys were right. In the stream they showed this house and there you can clearly see that the roof is not flat. The angle in the picture made it look like it was flat.

    Looking at the path up the slope, that's exactly the kind of thing that's going to turn up routing problems.

    I noticed that straight away when they were uploading the hints. I did ask about it on Twitter but no one replied, so I can't say for sure, to me it looks flat.

    Yes the roof looks flat to me as well and I love the shape of that house.


    but can't you make roofs almost completely flat anyway?


    Not right now :/

    It's just the greenhouse roof pushed to it's lowest level.

    I like to use those glass dance floor objects. For me, they make great skylights and come in 3x3, 4x4 or 5x5, so if I build a house in multiples of three or four or five, I can fill the roof with them. But usually I leave at least one tile of solid roof around the outside. It just looks better IMO.


    Me too, but I was having issues with rain and snow showing in the room below the dance floor when it was used as a skylight - that was right after Seasons was released. I haven't checked to see if that has changed since the last 3 patches (I've been dealing with the AMD GPU shadow bug and avoiding live mode).
