Are you tired of that outdated wallpaper cramping your Vintage Story style? Do you dream of giving your in-game home a fresh, new look? Removing wallpaper can seem daunting, but don't worry! This guide breaks it down into easy-to-follow steps, so you can say goodbye to those old walls and hello to a beautifully renovated virtual space.
Getting Started: What You'll Need
Before you dive in, gather your tools. Luckily, you don't need much!
- Hammer: Your trusty multi-tool will do the trick!
- Chisel: (Optional, but highly recommended) This tool is available in the smithing table.
- Patience: This isn't always a quick process, so take your time.
The Removal Process: Step-by-Step
Ready to get rid of that wallpaper? Follow these simple steps:
- Equip your hammer (or chisel). Make sure it's selected in your hotbar and ready to go.
- Target the wallpaper. Aim your cursor at a section of the wallpaper you want to remove.
- Start chipping away. Right-click on the wallpaper with the hammer or chisel. You'll see the wallpaper start to break apart.
- Continue until the entire section is gone. You may need to right-click several times on each block to completely remove the wallpaper.
- Repeat for all the wallpaper you want to remove. Work your way around the room, taking it one block at a time.
Pro Tips for Easier Removal
- Use a Chisel: A chisel will remove the wallpaper with significantly fewer hits than using a hammer. This will greatly speed up the process.
- Start at the seams: Sometimes, wallpaper sections connect slightly, making them easier to remove as larger pieces if you start at the edges.
- Work in well-lit areas: Darkness can make it difficult to see what you're doing. Ensure your room is well-lit with torches or lanterns for optimal visibility.
- Inventory Space: Make sure you have enough free space in your inventory to pick up any wallpaper pieces that drop. You may want to recycle these into paper.
- Consider the sound: Removing wallpaper can be a bit noisy. If you are near animals that you care for, consider taking steps to minimize the noise, such as using the chisel instead of the hammer.
Dealing with Stubborn Spots
Sometimes, certain sections of wallpaper might be more difficult to remove than others. Here's what to do:
- Try a different angle: Adjust your position and try hitting the wallpaper from a different angle. This can sometimes break it loose.
- Make sure the surface underneath isn't broken: Sometimes, a broken support behind the wallpaper can prevent you from removing the wallpaper from the other side. Use blocks to repair the surface behind the wallpaper, then attempt to remove the wallpaper.
After the Removal: What's Next?
Now that the wallpaper is gone, it's time to unleash your creativity! Consider these options:
- Paint the walls: Add a fresh coat of paint to give your room a brand-new look.
- Install new wallpaper: Choose a more modern or stylish wallpaper to update your décor.
- Leave the walls bare: Sometimes, a simple, unadorned wall can be just as beautiful.
With a little patience and these helpful tips, you'll be able to transform your Vintage Story home in no time. Happy renovating!
