Thread: Houses
Thanks for the quick reply. Any idea about how much houses cost? I assume they are bought from other players (Architects?).

Start with the Player Housing guide under Advanced Guides on this site- that will give you maintenance cost, floorplans, lot usage (you get 10 lots, so lot usage isn't important unless you're running mining equipment as well), and the max capacity of items.
You can place a house by double-clicking the deed in your inventory- this will take you to an overhead view of your surrounding location. Right-click to rotate the house. Left-click to place it. If the house is on a red patch, you can't place it- either because the terrain is too hilly, or there's a lair nearby (you can take out the lair if you really want that spot), or there's another structure already there. If it's on green, you can place it there. Areas you can't place on will be in yellow (lair radius, hills, other structures). If you want to place your house in a player city, you will need to contact the mayor or a militia member for zoning rights (Check the city hall for a list of people who fit this description).
Once you've placed it, you'll need to pay maintenance to keep your house running properly. This will be 300 creds a day for a small house, more for bigger (see advanced guide). If you don't pay, your house will start to decay. Supposedly, when condition reaches zero, the house disappears, but I've also heard that this never actually happens. If you ever want to move your house, you'll need to get it to 100 percent condition, pay up 1500 extra creds maintenance (I think it is- may be less), and take all the items out.
In addition to storing extra stuff in your house (you can drop backpacks to keep things tidy), you can get furniture from an architect or their vendors. You place furniture by dropping it- you can then move it by using /moveFurniture or /rotateFurniture, or use the radial menu. You can't move furniture up or down, except by dropping it on stairs and moving it from where it falls- you'll need a medium planet-specific house or a large generic house for stairs if you want to do this.
That should do it- there's other stuff like tricks for placing furniture neatly, but this should get you going.
No problem- here you go:

Accurate now would be 75 items per housing lot.
Rather than allowing me to place 450 items in my 6 lot large house, they're encouraging me to build three small/medium storage sheds instead. I also have to confess that sacrificing 6 lots and being limited to 250 items has forced me to use my factory input hoppers as storage areas. You also receive 100 items per lot as opposed to the 75 per lot you get from housing.
