KeeperRL – Guide to Dungeon Constructions

Dungeon Constructions

To manage your dungeon, you can ask your workers and recruited volunteers (prisoners) to construct rooms, install features and set traps.

The exact options that will be available to you will depend on your faction and upon what technologies and resources you have available.

Structures

In dungeons, walls can be reinforced with stone to help stop enemies from digging in. Archer walls can be used to build outdoor walls with arrows lits for added defense and the ability for skilled archers to shoot at enemies.

Filling space with soft rock is cheaper to build. Hard mountain stone fills in an empty tile more firmly. When building interior structures, the floors can be made using a variety of materials such as wood, stone, or gold carpet. For outdoor structures, wooden walls and pillars can be used to create particular look and feel.

Stone walls can be used to build a castle or fortress for added defense and a grander appearance, while castle pillars can be used to create decorative features. Bridges can be built over water or gaps using wood or stone, but caution must be taken not to build wood over lava.

Stairs can be used to access higher or lower levels of a building or dungeon. To create a defensive structure or trap for enemies, a pit can be dug in the ground. Stone can be used to fill up a parts of water or lava for a decorative pool or to create obstacles for enemies.
