Architect Archive

I am not an artisan or architect but just have a couple of questions regarding buying and using houses.

I went to this link

http://www.swgcenter.com/info/schematic.asp?id=163

to see what resources are needed and wondered if the list was still accurate. Does an architect just need to use these resources and fabricate the different sections and then combine them into a deed? When he sells a deed to someone like me the house is all ready to go except being placed right? I don't need anymore resources just cash to maintain it, no power or anything?

I am just trying to get my ducks in a row and have the cash to buy it from the architect. Is there a general listing of what houses go for anywhere? I have seen some people talking about 5-15k for a small house which seems cheap but that is waht got me wondering if there was other things I need to get a house put up besides the cash to buy the deed from the architect.

Yes, the schematic is current. When you have the deed the house is ready to be placed. You will need to pay for maintenance. Hope this helps.

Also houses do not need power, so don't worry about that

Ok great, thanks for the info. Are the resources listed something I could mine myself and provide to the architect to make it easier or does it take advanced surveying to get access to the type or resources required?

any idea on what the maintenance fees run?

I too would like to know what the maintennance prices seem to run at, any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've been trying to find this out since the game started but no one seems to answer. What are the maintenance costs for the various size houses?

Is this question some kind of taboo? A secret architect question that only those with a house have a priviledge to know?

Heh, I bet architects (at least new ones) are just as unlikely to know the answer to this question. All my lots are tied up in harvesters until I recover from the resource shifting. I wish I had my house set

A small house is 384 creds / day. Not sure about the medium or large home though. I can't place one myself to see.

That isn't bad compared to harvesters...thanks!

1) Yes, a lot of Architects will take your resources and craft you the structure for a steep discount, I do it for free myself. But what you have to remember is, we can and DO have failures. Myabe it's just a piece here and there, but if you come to an Architect with the EXACT resources needed, she or he will likely NOT be able to finish your home. You also need to be prepared for the chance of a critical failure on the final craft, which means you lose everything. Don't expect the Architect to reimburse you, it's not our fault, and we deal with the daily.

2) A medium house has a maintenance rate of "17" and costs 34 credits per hour, or 816 credits per day. The "maintenance rate" listed in the building's status in the Structure Management Terminal is in HALF HOURS. So the maintenance rate on a small is, I believe, 7, which means 14 credits per hour, or 336 credits per day.

I believe Large houses work out to 1136 credits a day. 10,000 credits gave me 8 days and 8 hours.
