This Australian robot can 3-d print a house in less than a day.

Applications include moon bases.

Australian construction robot Charlotte can 3D print 2,150-sq-ft home in one day using sustainable materials

There are several companies into this, one right here in MN

I've seen where some places have used this to build additional units on existing rooftops

How is it "floodproof"?

Does it float like the concrete Mulberry caissons of WW-2 or some shit?

Like most junk science, it's floodproof because they say it is.

It's a beached houseboat.

Well, I guess it would be easier to hose the mud and such out of such a structure.

The power wash, paint, and you are GTG.....No gasp black mold issues either.

Not to mention the structural issues afterwards.

One thing that many do not realize, is that a significant amount of damage to structures during flooding is actually caused by the water undermining the foundations. So even if this "house" resists the water itself, how is it going to fare when the ground under the foundation is washed away?
