A '''house''' is a structure meant for living, storage, as a gateway, or simply for decoration. In Wurm, these can be built of [[wooden house|wood]], [[Timber_framed_house|timber and clay]], or [[stone house|various types of bricks]]. Houses must be built on flat flattened [[ground]].

In order to create a house, you will first need a mallet to create a plan. Activate your [[mallet]] and right-click the flat tile you want to build start the building on and select . Select ''Plan Building''. You can plant plan 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.

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 one tile house is 5, and this can usually be obtained by creating the planks for your first wooden house0. 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 masonry & carpentry skill and a trowel for stone options; mallet and carpentry only for wood and timber framed options. Place the tool in the same skills crafting window to create with see the exception of [[masonry]] for stone optionsavailable to you. To start the creation process, you will also 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.

Numbers listed above each plan is the minimum [[carpentry]] skill requiredfor the ground/first floor of a wooden or timber house. 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 materialsand as an outside resource, use at your own risk.

The formula to calculate the carpentry skill needed to build a house is the number of tiles + the number of outer walls, for - 5. For example: a 4 by 4 wall has 16 tiles and 16 outer walls so it would take 32 27 carpentry, for on the ground/first floor. For multi-story houses the formula is the same but there's an additional requirement based on the number of floors. == Adding a roof ==* Plan and completely build the walls before adding a roof.* Roofs are planned by activating a [[mallet]] and right-clicking the tiles on the ground beneath you. Each tile needs to be planned. == Adding a floor ==* Plan and completely build the walls before adding a floor. * Floors are planned by activating a [[mallet]] and right-clicking the tiles on the ground beneath you. Each tile needs to be planned. == Stone/Brick Housing ==A [[stone house]] is stronger than a regular [[wooden house]]. A [[stone house]] takes more [[skills]] and resources to build, but offers more protection from [[decay]], [[stealing|theft]], refer and [[PvP|invaders]]. At least 30 skill in masonry is required in order to build a stone house, a player with less than 30 skill in masonry can not start or continue building a stone house. ==Underground Housing==It is possible to build houses in caves. You can build any type of wall underground, however you cannot build roofs in cave dwellings. In order to do this you would need to activate a [[hammer]], [[mallet]], or [[trowel]] and right-click a flat, reinforced cave floor tile. Houses can only be built touching a cave wall if and when all the tiles are on deed and they do not have an adjacent perimeter tile. If any of the adjacent tiles are perimeter tiles the perimeter tile must be mined out. Alternatively, houses in caves cannot be built touching a cave wall if they are off deed. If you attempt to plan a house that is outside the previously stated parameters you will get the following message: {{event|inline| You cannot build here, there must be a gap around the building.}} == Multi-story_housingStory Housing ==Buildings can be constructed with multiple stories, but each one requires higher skill to build. === Carpentry 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 minus 5. With 5 skill a roof may be placed over the first floor, but not an opening or floor above. The roof counts as the same story you are currently building and does not require any extra skill to roof. For example, a roof added to a 8 story building would still only require 70 skill. {| width="40%"! style="width: 33%;"|! style="width: 33%;"|! style="width: 33%;"||-| style="padding: 5px;"| {| class="wikitable" align=left!Floors !!

It is limited in multi-story houses based on Carpentry skill.*[[Thatching]] is required for thatch roofs.* Some materials might have higher skill requirements than the numbers mentioned below, in which case the highest requirement applies* You can not build floors above fences, walls or parapets.* You can drag [[cart]]s 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 ground/first 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.* 1kg of [[dye]] is needed to color one house wall. == Permissions & Safety ==A house preserves your possessions by reducing [[decay]] on all servers, 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. == Warning Messages while Building or Planning ==
