This is the thread that made me finally buy the game.
It would be incredible if it supported actual wood studs and even simulated the physics a bit so that you have to built structurally-sound things. The wood stud part seems easy to do. Someone make this mod!
you can use existing woodbeams to make studs and build as you like, about physics I don't think they will ever be in the game unless made as a mod.
If physics were added to the game all our builds would come crashing down to the ground XD
I decided to take this further and treated it like a wood framing simulator...in survival mode! Just like in a real structure, I made: wall studs, headers, top plates, bottom plates, foundation, sheathing, and siding. All in real-world sizes. It was very tedious since it required hundreds of wood planks with different materials and careful resizing every time I switched materials. Took dozens of hours (spread out over a year) because I crafted every one and kept the process as realistic as possible. No mods or plugins.
The design is based on a real building, Frank Howarth's giant shed-like woodshop (watch him build it here
Finished building:
Compare it to the real-world building:
The dimensions and siding aren't the exactly the same (no custom textures), but everything else I kept close. The interior isn't finished, but I did add the plywood walls and white cloth ceiling.
Well done 
I know that feeling 
Works on a medieaval english hall house ~14C.
Nice too

No magic here. It's just planks and beams.
…and a lot of setp setr and setl commands via ingame console

Many of us outgrow that first tiny space eventually, as projects (and accumulated junk) outpace the available space. Some of us go on to build workspaces to die for; personally, I feel wholly inadequate whenever I see Frank Howarth’s immense wood shop, with its high ceilings, huge windows for natural light, and what amounts to a loading dock. Whenever I see it I think The work I could do in there!
