House
Contents
Description
A house is a structure meant for living, storage, gateway or similar, built of wood or stone, on relatively flat ground: houses can be planned on maximum slopes of 8 dirts. The maximum length of a house is 19 tiles.
Usage
A house preserves your possessions by reducing decay, and to a degree, protects them from theft. If the doors are equipped with a door lock, no one may enter your house except the friends you give permission to, unless the door is lockpicked.
Bed only works for sleeping 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.
For more information, see The "how do I build a house?" guide.
