See also [[Build House]]can be any of the following:

== Description ==A '''house''' is a structure meant for living, storage, gateway or similar, built of * [[wooden Wooden house|wood]] or * [[stone 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. You MUST complete a building before you will be allowed to build or plan another one. If you attempt to "plan" an additional building, you will not be given the Plan Building option. 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. == House examples ==Numbers listed above each plan is the minimum [[carpentry]] skill required. === 1-4 tiles === 5 8 11 12 14 X XX XX XXX XX XXXX XXX XXX X XX X X  === 5 tiles === 15 17 XXX XXXXX XXXX XXXX XXX XXX X X X X XX X X X X X XXX XXX XXX XX X X X X XX === 6 tiles === 16 18 XXX XXXX XXXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XX XX XXX XX XX X X 20 XXXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXX X X X X X X X XX XX X XXXX XXXX X X X X XXX X X XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXX X X X X X X XX === Larger examples === 21 32 45 60 77 96 XXX XXXX XXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXX XXXX XXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXX XXXX XXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX == Messages ==; The ground is not flat enough.: The highest slope of where you are trying to plan your building exceeds 8.; Your structure must connect everywhere.: You tried to plan a tile that is not connected to the rest of your plan.; You need space to build the walls.
