|QuestionText=Hello mods! I have a question about housing and I apologize if this has been asked before.<br><br>Say a character wants to just go out into the woods and build a shack...well, not really a shack more like a more traditional Heian era house like [https://hachikai.dreamwidth.org/file/8146.jpg this].<br><br>Is this tenable or does it have to be one of the housing types listed on the housing page?

|AnswerText=Not a mod (and sorry if this is overstepping), but I can point you in the direction of a question that I think covers this. <br><br>From [https://alogos.dreamwidth.org/1341.html?thread=500285#cmt500285 here]:<br><br><i>"Housing outside the barrier- well, no one lives there or could quarrel with some Augmented choosing to live there. The houses there have no connection to Karteria's utilities, and are in various states of decay, but they could claim as many yards as they wanted, really. To spend most of one's time outside the barrier isn't wholly healthy even for Augmented, however; while they won't ever perish to arcane radiation, it will speed up their corruption. This is especially true if a significant amount of that time is spent alone; the company of at least one other Augmented conveys additional protection. In the long-term it may result in additional effects as explored [https://alogos.dreamwidth.org/1341.html?thread=339773#cmt339773 here], but if they're mostly out there together (or with some other Augmented company) then it's far, far safer."</i><br><br>So yeah, living out in the woods possible, and there's probably nothing stopping characters from building a house out there (my dude here has a leatherworking station in one abandoned building, a group of scientists has commandeered an old logging cabin, etc.), but you might end up real weird.



Thank you to Grimme for providing that answer! That is absolutely the jist of it. Some characters are even looking to build some back-up safe havens in [https://alogos.dreamwidth.org/1341.html?thread=632893#cmt632893 abandoned areas] around Orexis. Yes, building a house out in the open is totally doable. Enjoy your hastened corruptions...
