== Description ==
 
A '''house''' is a structure meant for living, storage, as a gateway, or simply for decoration, built of [[wooden house|wood]], [[Timber_framed_house|timber and clay]], or [[stone house|various types of bricks]]. Houses must be built on flat [[ground]].
 
 
 
== Planning a House ==
 
 
 
In order to create a house, you will need a mallet to plan. Activate your [[mallet]] and right-click the flat tile you want to build on and select ''Plan Building''. You can plant further tiles of the same house the in the same manner as long as they are adjacent to the initial house tile. Once you have completed your housing plan, right click on the plans of the building and select ''Finalize Build Plan''. You may still edit the plan of the building after you have finalized by right-clicking the tile you want to build on and selecting ''Add to building plan''. This can be done even after all of the house is complete by destroying a single wall and expanding the building through ''Add to building plan''.
 
 
 
If you made a mistake, you can delete a part of the plan by right clicking the tile of the plan you want to remove and select ''Remove Plan Here'' If you want to delete the entire plan, right-click the structure and select ''Structure > Destroy structure''. You will be given a confirmation window to make sure this is what you want to do.
 
 
 
Once you have finalized the build plan, you are required to complete the ground/first floor before you will be allowed to build another floor.
 
 
 
== Creation ==
 
Building a house is based on the [[carpentry]] skill for [[wooden house|wood]] and [[Timber_framed_house|timber]] houses and a mixture of both [[carpentry]] and [[masonry]] for [[stone house|stone/brick]] houses. The minimum requirement of [[carpentry]] skill required to build a house is 5, and this can usually be obtained by creating the planks for your first wooden house. If your house is to be made out of stone, 30 [[masonry]] skill is required.
 
 
 
To create, right click one of the wall sections and select 'Add to Crafting Window'. The wall plan will be on one side, and you will need to put in a [[mallet]] or [[trowel]] for the second crafting window in order to select what you would like to build. There are various wall plans and they all require the same skills to create with the exception of [[masonry]] for stone options. To start the creation process, you will need to have the items required in your inventory: [[planks]] for wooden houses, [[Wooden_beam|wooden beams]] for timber houses, [[brick]]s and [[mortar]] for stone houses.
 
 
 
Once you have finished all of the wall plans for the ground/first floor, the house is considered complete, and you can move on to create more houses.
 
 
 
== Multi-Story Housing ==
 
For Multi-story housing please see the full wiki page at [[Multi-story_housing]] that goes into depth about it.
 
 
 
== Usage ==
 
A house preserves your possessions by reducing [[decay]], and protects them from [[Stealing|theft]] on PVE servers. If the doors are equipped with a [[door lock]], no one may enter your house except the [[friend]]s you give [[permissions]] to, unless the door is [[lockpicking|lockpick]]ed. [[Lockpicking]] only applies to PvP servers. Freedom servers do not allow [[lockpicking]] of houses.
 
 
 
: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.''
 
 
 
[[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 3 months, the house is marked as abandoned, and takes much higher decay damage.
 
 
 
== Permissions Management ==
 
When the house is fully planned the planner will see it under the [[Permissions#Buildings|Building Management]] window. The house can be managed by right clicking on the house and selecting ''Permissions > Manage Building''. In the management window you can modify various settings for the house. These settings will not take effect until all of the first floor walls are complete. The '''May Enter''' permission will not work until the doors are locked.
 
 
 
You can change the name of the house or transfer ownership from the Building Permission window.
 
 
 
== Naming ==
 
When the plan is finished the building will be given a default name that consists of the creator's name and a designation depending on the size of the house. The name can be changed through permissions management.
 
 
 
Designations used, based on number of tiles:
 
 
 
* shed - 1 - 2
 
* shack - 3
 
* cottage - 4 - 5
 
* house - 6
 
* villa - 7 - 10
 
* mansion - 11 - 20
 
* estate - 21 - 30
 
* stronghold - 31 - 65
 
 
 
 
 
== House Plan Examples ==
 
Numbers listed above each plan is the minimum [[carpentry]] skill required. You can also check [http://webdepp.sense-net.at/~toni/wurm/housecalc.php HouseCalc] for the carpentry skill and materials required for your custom plan without download. At this time, this tool does not incorporate timber-framed materials.

The formula to calculate the carpentry skill needed to build a house is the number of tiles + the number of outer walls, for example: a 4 by 4 wall has 4 tiles and 8 outer walls so it would take 12 carpentry, for multi-story houses the formula is the same but there's an additional requirement based on the number of floors, refer to [[Multi-story_housing]]
