As an option to creating a house from scratch there's a selection of pre-made templates to choose from. These were created by the community and selected by the devs during EA.

Go to Heidi's Construction Junction to view and use the Showroom Catalogue.

.

Optionally, a Home Editing Toolkit can be purchased from the shop so the catalogue can be used at home.

There always needs to be a building on the property.
Ensure that at a minimum, a 5 x 5 block with a door is placed somewhere out of the way before deleting the old building.

These have been created by different designers and offer a wide range of options in style and size. Once built they can be moved and modified using the various menus. Multiple houses can be built in the yard.


I've not included the build cost or list of decorations and furniture just in case the details change over time. Please refer to the Catalogue for specific details.
The build can still be done even though you may not have all the listed decorations.

For each template I have created a footprint of the house floor so you can see how large they are.
There maybe external awnings, pipes, signage, plants etc that will require additional space to the footprint.

The ceramic bottles have been placed to denote where the external ground floor doors are.

All items that can be placed into your backpack have been removed so that the rooms can be viewed more clearly.

The workshop name Break & Make is mine. When you build, it will use your workshop name.

During EA the devs selected templates created by the community.

Quick reference to creating or modifying new or existing buildings.

---

---

These are some of the main considerations and recommendations before building.

---

Save before building so that you can 'try before you buy' then restore back if needed.

Don't underestimate how much this will cost. It's the fastest way to go broke.
In the early days I would recommend making do with a basic functioning house. Any spare money is better spent on machines and land expansion to build up resources.
Expanding land will ease frustration of getting grid-locked when wanting to expand/move buildings.

Have a look at community screenshots of different designs.
Even with the full land expansion it's tricky to get everything to fit without the area looking cluttered and disorganised.
Consider your personal needs and preferences.

Storage boxes that are inside a building that needs to be demolished or dimensions changed are at risk of the contents being emptied. Whilst the contents can be retrieved from the mailbox it can cause a lot of resorting and a lot of frustrating time. This is how I deal with the situation.

How to create and export your template so that the files can be shared with the community.

These can only be edited from the inside ground floor of the building.

Move & rotate to the desired area. If doing this after the upper area has been decorated then items may be removed and then retrieved from the mailbox.

The green shaded floor shows the placement area and the dimensions of the footprint.


In this example the upper area is offset to the ground floor. The placement area is reduced because stairs can not go to the roof area.

---

This is the default used when placing an upper level to a building.
Does not cost any money.
Can be moved or replaced (at a cost) with one of the other options.
.
.
Can not be mirrored.

This is the same as the wooden staircase with additional railings.

Once built, the appearance of existing internal and exterior walls, floors, ceilings and roofs can be changed. The factory and greenhouse options are discussed in a separate section in this guide because of additional considerations.
