Platforms are custom buildings that have two variations, the platform and side rock platform. They can be built by opening the Survival Guide and then the 2nd page of the Custom Building section.

Gameplay

It can be used as a platform to see over your defensive walls or other hindrances. To get on top of a platform, simply jump (if it's low enough), attach a rope, or build a staircase to it.

Platforms cannot be linked together side-by-side like the custom built walls, but they can be linked together on top of each other to create towers. The platform can also be used as a dock (or pier, if multiple platforms are used) for your boats.

Platforms can be destroyed by knocking ajar the logs supporting its base, and this also destroys the ropes or bridges attached to it.

When placing these Platforms, if you do so; low enough to a Custom Floor, the supports won't try and stick through quite so bad as if you had held the blueprint high above the Custom Floor.

When placed against a cliff or a similar game object, the platform will convert to a kind of cliff platform. This changes the platform dramatically and saves a lot of logs.

Known Bugs

• It is possible for cannibals to glitch through a defensive wall and climb platforms if they are placed close to a defensive wall. This can still occur even when a platform is over three meters from the defensive wall.
• Platforms are also known to sometimes just extend far down through every other object in its way to the ground; for clients in multiplayer; but far less commonly than Custom Foundation and Custom Stairs.
