Houses and housing | Buildings Banished Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Houses are the core of your town - homeless people die faster, they're also more affected by external factors like starvation or cold, so it's necessary to provide them with houses. There are three types of them in the game:
Wooden House - a basic construction that provides a protection from cold. Use it only in the beginning - they aren't very effective and you have to heat them with firewood, so you have to produce more of it.
Cost: 16 units of logs, 8 units of stone
Stone house - a more complex building than its predecessor. It's a basic type of housing that you should build as soon as you stabilize your resource production. Sometimes it's best to buy them from the very beginning - you save logs, because they give more heat than wooden houses.
Cost: 16 units of logs, 8 units of stone, 10 units of iron
Boarding House - if you have problems with homelessness, it's a good idea to build boarding houses, where you'll place people who wait for their own houses. It won't substitute their own homes, but it will improve their happiness and resistance to various external factors.
Cost: 100 units of logs (Logs), 40 units of stone
