[[File:Housing screenshot.png|thumb|280px|Different housing]]
== Overview ==

In addition to food, all [[villagers]] need shelter from the weather. There are two types of needs in this category, the need for '''Shelter''', or '''Basic Housing''', and the need for species-specific '''Housing.''' Both are discussed in this article.

Villagers who have their need for basic shelter met get a small bonus to their [[Resolve]]. When villagers are housed in a nicer home, specific to their [[species]], they get a second small bonus to their Resolve.

Both Shelters and species-specific Houses are found under [[File:Construct Housing.png|x32px|Housing]] '''Housing''' on the [[Construction Toolbar]].

'''Villagers never visit their homes'''; they only ever walk between their workplaces, [[Warehouse]]s, and [[Hearth]]s. Therefore, villagers' housing does not need to be close by, accessible by road, or even near the same Hearth as the villager's workplace. However, many viceroys use the areas around housing [[buildings]] for decorations needed to upgrade Hearths.

== Satisfaction ==

When a new housing [[building]] is constructed, any villagers who still need shelter will be automatically assigned to their new home, until it reaches capacity. You need at least two Shelters at the beginning of each mission to shelter all of your starting villagers. Viceroys usually aim to have these built before the first storm. Basic Shelters and Big Shelters satisfy villagers' '''Shelter Need'''.

When a new species-specific House is built, any villagers of that [[species]] whose Housing Need hasn't been satisfied will be automatically assigned to the new House, until it reaches capacity. Once a villager moves into their species' House, their '''Shelter Need''' and their '''Housing Need''' are both satisfied.

Some viceroys have their entire population's need for shelter satisfied before they start adding any species-specific housing. 

Note: Villagers of a different species cannot use species-specific Houses of another species.
