A timber house is a large structure which can be entered. Inside is a 6x6 tiles housing in which furniture or liftable containers can be stored. Anything liftable left in a timber house will not decay making it a good storage area especially for Cupboards, which are notorious in being destroyed in one decay hit. Because of this, most houses tend to hold cupboards, which are excellent storage containers once the downsides has been negated with housing. Any items that can go into the inventory dropped here can still be lost, however.

How to Acquire

First, there needs to be a 7x7 paved ground for the timber house to set down. See Terraforming for information on how to plow a field and lay stone. Timber houses require a lot of wood and Bough (you can use any bough) so be sure to have plenty of Trees nearby. After its construction is complete there is a 24 hours (real time) waiting period for it to set, before it is actually finished. Finally timber houses always face the south.

With World 7 Houses require some drying time before they can be built (24 hours Realtime) - the amount of time left before they can be built/used is shown. You can drop stuff into a house build sign but can't start the build process before dry time is over.

Note: If a player is using original game client then large sprite size of the timber house will obscure several tiles behind it, causing said player to be unable to interact with whatever is in that space.
