Housing is an integral part of your town in Banished. A house provides a place for families to live. Citizens can eat, store food and stay warm during winter in their houses..

There are two different known types of houses, stone and wooden houses.

Wooden House

House Layout

Wooden houses require much fewer resources to construct than stone houses, but they don't offer as good protection during winter. They can be upgraded to stone houses without the need to demolish them beforehand.

Stone House

Stone Houses

Stone houses require less firewood to heat than wooden houses and also provide more warmth, making them better homes in the long run. However, building them uses up more stone as it is used for both foundation and walls. Stone can be collected by laborers from loose rocks and boulders lying around the map or through trade or more dangerous rock quarries that require a large workforce.

Because stone houses use less firewood than wooden houses and also provide more warmth, they allow the expansion of the town without the need to produce as much firewood.

Stone houses can also be initially placed as an alternative to wooden homes.

• If a wooden house is upgraded to a stone house the construction cost is the same but there is some material salvage value from the wooden house being upgraded.
