== Description ==
 
A '''house''' is a structure meant for living, storage, gateway or similar, built of [[wooden house|wood]] or [[stone house|stone]], on flat [[ground]]: house tiles can now only be [[building plan|planned]] on perfectly flat ground ([[slope]] of 0 dirts). The maximum length of a house is 20 tiles in one direction.
 
 
 
 
 
You are required to complete the main floor house plans before you will be allowed to build or plan another one. 
 
 
 
 
 
<s>Once finalized, the footprint of a house may not be altered.</s>  With the introduction on multilevel houses, writ owners can now expand and modify houses once they are complete. The removal of walls and floors in this process is best done with a [[Carving knife]].
 
 
 
 
 
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. These settings will not take effect unless every exterior door of the building has a [[door lock]] attached.
 
 
 
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. If arched walls are used in the exterior guest rules still apply and only guests will be able to pick up items in the house (as long as there is a locked door exterior wall).
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
== Naming ==
 
When the plan is finished the writ will be given a default name that consists of the creator's name and a designation depending on the size of the house. The name can be changed through writ management.
 
 
 
Designations used, based on number of tiles:
 
 
 
* shed - 1, 2
 
* shack - 3
 
* cottage - 4, 5
 
* house - 6
 
* villa - 7 to 10
 
* mansion - 11 to 20
 
* estate - 21 to 30
 
* stronghold - 31 to 65 (max)
