== Description ==
A '''house''' is a structure meant for living, storage, gateway or similar, built of [[wooden house|wood]] or [[stone house|stone]], on relatively flat [[ground]]: house tiles can be [[building plan|planned]] on maximum [[slope]]s of 8 dirts. The maximum length of a house is 20 tiles in one direction.

At 7 september of 2012, it seems you dont MUST (anymore) complete a building before you will be allowed to build or plan another one. In the past, if you attempt to "plan" an additional building, you were not be given the Plan Building option.
This requieres confirmation.

Once finalized, the size and shape of a house may not be altered. If you wish to increase the size of your house, you would need to destroy and re-plan the structure. You do not receive materials back from this process, so plan carefully the size and shape of your structure.

Newer players may want to have a look at the '''[[Build House]]''' guide for more direction.

== Usage ==
A house preserves your possessions by reducing [[decay]], and to a degree, protects them from [[Stealing|theft]]. If the doors are equipped with a [[door lock]], no one may enter your house except the [[friend]]s you give [[writ|permission]] to, unless the door is [[lockpicking|lockpick]]ed.

[[Bed]]s, which are useful for gaining [[sleep bonus]], only work when inside a house.

If the owner of a house has not logged in for 1.5 months, the house is marked as abandoned, and takes much higher decay damage.

:On the Freedom server, a locked house is the single best protection against theft. Whether on deed or off, houses there '''cannot''' be bashed down or lockpicked, though anyone can enter if you do not put [[door lock]]s on all doors. ''Since a house's locks cannot be picked on Freedom, the door lock's quality isn't really very important there.''

==Writ and Management==
When the house is fully planned the planner will get a writ of ownership. The house can be managed by right clicking on the writ and selecting ''manage''. In the management window you can modify various settings for the house.

You can add and remove [[friend]]s as guests on the house. The guest has the right to pass locked doors, pick up items in the house and to build, repair and even destroy house walls unless prohibited by a deed.

You can lock and unlock all doors with [[door lock]]s on the building. If you are citizen of a deed you can allow citizens and allies to pass locked doors. This does not allow them to pick up items or to modify the house like guests can.

You can change the house name or destroy the whole house in this window.

Trading the writ passes ownership. You will lose all rights on the house until the new owner adds you as a guest.

== Description ==
''A brown docile cow.''

'''Cow''' is a domestic animal you can find wandering around [[grass]] lands. You can use a [[rope]] to lead it. You cannot lead it into [[water]] though. You can feed cows by placing them in a tile of [[grass]] or a tile of farmed [[field]], but they can stomp the grass into packed dirt and eat your [[crops]].

== General Information ==
A cow, like other animals in Wurm, will not yield meat when butchering if they are starving. Fat cows, on the other hand, will yield extra meat upon butchering. Cows may wander while grazing for food, so [[fence]] them in a large area with lots of grass or crops. Cows can and usually will destroy crops over time by walking on them, so only put them on your extra fields.

== Milking ==
Cows can be milked once per Wurm day (every 3 hours).

Activate a portable container like [[small bucket]], [[small barrel]], [[pottery jar]] or [[water skin]], right-click the cow, and select ''Milk''. Drink it, or use a [[cheese drill]] to make it into [[cheese]].
==Notes==
*Bashing attack
*Leadable
*[[Milk]]able
*Will eat grass on their own if on a tile of grass
*Cannot swim
*Weak
