== 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. While both needs are satisfied as soon as Shelter or House construction finishes, should you destroy their place of residence, villagers won't be counted as homeless (and lose Resolve) until they take a break.

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.

=== How to check Shelter and Housing Need satisfaction ===

There is a number of UI elements that can help you track homeless [[villagers]], how many Housing slots are available, etc. They are all located in the upper left section of the screen:

[[File:Housing UI.png|right|border|400px]]
[[File:Housing Status tooltip.png|right|border|400px]]

# Homeless counter for individual species. It tracks the number of villagers of a particular species that don't have even the '''Basic Housing Need''' fulfilled.
# Global homeless counter. Tracks the total number of villagers that don't have even the '''Basic Housing Need''' fulfilled, irrespective of their species. When hovered over, displays the ''Housing Status'' tooltip.
# ''Housing Status'' tooltip. Lists the following:
#* Number of homeless villagers.
#* Number of free slots in Shelters.
#* Number of free slots in each of the species' Housing.
# '''Shelter Need''' icon in the expanded [[Species Panel]].
#* In the upper right corner you can find the number of free slots available in Shelters.
#* In the bottom left corner you can find the average [[Resolve]] bonus granted to the species from satisfying this need.
#* The tile starts glowing when all villagers of this species have the tile's need fulfilled.
#* You can also hover over the icon to get a more detailed breakdown.

== Upgrading Houses ==
''Main article [[Housing Upgrades]]''

Housing upgrades provide a variety of bonuses primarily at the cost of {{rl|Pack of Building Materials}}. Different bonuses are tied to different species' Housing and different Housing upgrade levels.

== Perks and Cornerstones influencing housing ==

{{Perks|caption=Housing Perks and Cornerstones|id=Houses Global Capacity +1, [Altar] Houses +1 for Break Time, Trade routes for housing spots, NeedPerk Housing Resolve}}
Note: all houses includes both Shelters and species-specific Houses. Villager with a home counts villagers housed in both Shelters and Houses.
