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.
Beds, 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 locks on all doors. Since a house's locks cannot be picked on Freedom, the door lock's quality isn't really very important there.
