Red Dynasty Shingles

These come from the Traveling Merchant, and only on visits where he is also carrying Dynasty Wood. The two are stocked together or not at all. That gate is stricter than it sounds, because his inventory rerolls every visit and a build that needs a lot of roofing can stall for several in game days waiting on the right day. Buy well past what the current project needs while the option is in front of you.

The sprite is built for roofing. Put two or more of the same color side by side and the tiles resolve into a clean sloped surface with sharp edges, which is why they end up on pagodas, gates and anything meant to read as an eastern build. Red and blue are the same block with a different palette, and they deliberately refuse to connect to each other, so a mixed row splits into separate segments rather than merging. That is useful on purpose for trim and stripes.

There is no matching background wall to craft out of them, so whatever sits behind a shingled roof has to come from another material. If you buy the wrong color, Shimmer converts Red and Blue into one another, which saves waiting for the merchant to come back around with the right stock.
