Changes

Decide where you want your house to be initially. This is easily changed later if you are not happy with your initial choice.

Select a 3x3 area of land to build on then [[botanize]] then [[forage]] that area and one tile all the way around outside it. What you want is [[cotton]], but anything that is a crop seed or can be used to [[cook]] is useful.

[[Flatten]] that 3x3 area with your shovel starting at the highest point and working down to the lowest point. This area needs to be at nearly flat, slope of 4 or less on all tile borders, so you may have to flatten down from the highest point two or more times to get this right. You may also have to practice your digging skill a bit to finsih the process.

Cut down a tree and make 4 [[plank]].

Decide which of the 8 tiles around the edge of that area is easiest to get to (its usually the lowest one) and, using your Mallet, plan a 1 tile building on that spot. (Read the guide on how to [[Build House]])

You will need a door on the '''outer''' edge of your 3x3 space and a door leading to the '''inside''' of your 3x3 space.

So now, with your mallet active, and the large nails and planks in your inventory, walk round each of the 4 walls of your hut deciding where you want doors, walls and windows.

Make 10 [[shaft]] from your felled tree logs and, with a Mallet activated and carrying 10 [[small nail]], plan wooden fences around the outside of your 3x3 space.

This '''roughly''' safeguards your personal 3x3 base in Wurm but you will need at least another 10 Shafts and 96 Planks to complete the process.

'''Finish your hut first''' and attach the Door Locks to give you a safe place to store stuff or hide from dangerous creatures.

Finish your fences next to give you space to grow stuff.

When both your hut and fence is complete, plant any seeds you have found inside your fenced area.
