Know the three sets in the updated demo
The updated official Stormforge demo listing names three building sets: Softwood, Stone, and Corrupted Stone. Think about which pieces fit your layout first. You can build the first room with the pieces you have and decide on a different material for the next addition.
Separate the building set from the materials you gather
Softwood is the wood set named in the demo listing. Stone and Corrupted Stone are listed separately. The developer’s storm spotlight also explains that ordinary materials such as wood and stone have corrupted variants that you harvest in storm-corrupted areas. That is a gathering distinction. Check the requirements for a specific build piece in your game before setting out for materials.
Choose how the pieces fit together
Start with basic snapping for a simple joint. Try advanced snapping if you need another alignment option, or use free placement for an intentional overlap. Whatever set you choose, keep the parts of the base you want shielded inside the crystal pillar’s radius. Material choice and shield coverage are two separate decisions.
FAQ
Is Softwood the name of the demo’s wood building set?
Yes. The updated demo listing names Softwood alongside Stone and Corrupted Stone.
Where do corrupted versions of resources come from?
The developer describes harvesting those variants in areas affected by storm corruption.
Does a Corrupted Stone build change where I should place my pillar?
Plan around the pillar’s coverage regardless of the set you use. The set list does not specify a separate shielding mechanic for Corrupted Stone.
