With the pieces above you can build a simple enough little hut. Many of the metal shack wall pieces have cool atomicpunk circular bits that will not mesh well with the right angles of the wooden pieces. While the game also does not prevent you from mixing wood and metal shack pieces, I suggest you stick to either wood or metal per shack. The floor gives your walls something to snap around otherwise, they will snap in a straight line into eternity. While the game will permit you to place walls without a floor, I strongly recommend placing a floor first (or a foundation if you’re working on uneven ground).

Roofs: There’s a wide variety of wood roofs under Structures > Wood > Roofs not so much for metal under.

The door will snap right into the empty place.

Doorways: There are special Shack Doorway pieces (Structures > Wood/Metal > Walls) you’ll need if you want to place a door to your shack rather than leaving it open to the empty air (also an aesthetically pleasing option, but inadvisable on upper stories, as your idiot settlers will plummet to their deaths).

Walls: Walls come in two flavors, “Wood” and “Metal.” Your basic Shack Wall will snap to any floor you place, internal or external.

You’ll need this for any type of shack, wood or metal.

Floors: Your basic floor, Shack Floor, is found in Structures > Wood > Floors.
