Multi-story housing

Multi-story house

Multi-story structures can only be built on flat tiles.

Skill needed

The more floors your house has, the more skill is needed; see the table below for the required skill levels. Only the first (ground) floor planning needs 1 carpentry skill per wall and 1 skill per tile. With 5 skill a roof may be placed over the first floor, but not an opening or floor above. For upper floors, the roof counts as a floor (although it may have less of a skill requirement than an opening or floor above - unconfirmed).

• You may have a total of 16 floors (counting ground level as the first floor)
• Carpentry is checked for planning each floor and building wooden floors, openings, staircases, walls, and fences.
• Paving is required for stone floors, openings, and staircases.
• Masonry is required for stone walls, fences, parapets, as well as pottery and slate roofs.
• Thatching is required for thatch roofs.

3. Use mallet on tile below and plan floor below
4. Then plan floor/roof above.
5. Use mallet on tile below and plan floor above
6. Plan a tile with an opening above to make a ladder climbing spot to climb up to upper floors.

Notes

• In-game descriptions describe the bottom floor as being the 1st, which is a US standard. Therefore the Wurmpedia will describe this as such. The use of the term ground floor or ground will be kept to a minimum.
• There must be at least one planned wall below a tile to plan an floor above.
• You can not build floors above fences, walls or parapets.
• You can drag carts up ladders to get them to an upper floor.
• You can fall and take damage from upper floors if there is no wall/fence of roof to stop you. (Please be careful as people have died in 1 fall from 4th floor drops)
• Ladders will always be on the south side of the opening.
• The 1st floor must be complete before walls on the 2nd can be planned. This is not true, however, of any additional floors.
• Where a mallet is mentioned a hammer can be used in its place.
• When you destroy a structure all items on upper levels will fall to the ground.
• Previously only a few wall types were available when building a house, however with recent updates more wall types were added and can be found in the Wall page.
