The Homestead is your home base: a collection of structures you build and upgrade level by level. Each structure grants a passive benefit that grows with its level, from extra Bank slots to passive resource production, faster Skills, and more stable stalls for your Creatures. Structures are built and upgraded by spending gathered and crafted Items such as logs, fiber, stone, hides and ingots.

How structures work

  • Every structure has its own level, raised one level at a time by paying its current upgrade cost.
  • Costs rise steadily as a structure levels: within a material tier each level costs ×1.15 the previous (rounded, minimum 1 of each material), and the materials step up to a pricier set at fixed level breakpoints. Exact per-tier costs are in Build costs below.
  • Each structure has a maximum level. Buff structures reach as high as 99; passive producers cap at 50; the house chain caps at 25 (24 for the Iron Keep).
  • A few structures are gated: they cannot be started until an earlier structure reaches its maximum level (see the house chain below).

Structures

Farmland 6 +1 farm plot Clears one more Farming plot per level (2 plots at level 0, up to 8 at level 6).

Feeding Trough 99 −1% Taming cost Trims Taming food and tonic costs by 1% per level (max 50%).

Fishery Dock 50 +1 Minnow / 90 s Nets 1 Minnow every 90 seconds per level.
Quarry 50 +1 Stone / 90 s Works 1 Stone every 90 seconds per level.
Watchtower 99 +1 expedition strength Adds +1 to expedition strength per level, improving Dispatch and expedition outcomes.

Build costs

Each level's cost is its tier's base × 1.15(levels into the tier), rounded (minimum 1 of each material). Below, each entry lists the base cost at the first level of each tier — so "L16: 12 Ginkgo Log" means level 16 costs 12 Ginkgo Log, level 17 costs ~14, level 18 ~16, and so on until the next breakpoint. (For example, Storage Hut level 10 = round(8 × 1.159) ≈ 28 Fernwood.)

Passive producers

Several structures generate Items on their own, even while you are busy with another skill or offline. Higher levels stack the output rate.

Structure Produces Rate at level 1 Max level
Crop Plot Crimson Berry 1 per minute 50
Fishery Dock Minnow 1 per 90 s 50
Quarry Stone 1 per 90 s 50
Apiary Wild Honey 1 per ~7 min 50
Tannery Hide 1 per 10 min 50

The house chain

The four house structures form a linear upgrade path. Each must be fully built before the next can begin, and together they steadily raise your max HP and health regeneration:

  • Thatch Hut (levels 1–25, +2 max HP each) → unlocks
  • Timber Lodge (levels 1–25, +3 max HP each) → unlocks
  • Stone House (levels 1–25, +1 HP per regen tick every 5 levels) → unlocks
  • Iron Keep (levels 1–24, +5 max HP each)

Building the houses also invites Villagers to move in once housing reaches the required levels, each delivering periodic gift baskets.

  • Farming — the crop plots unlocked by Farmland
  • Villagers — NPCs who move in as your houses grow
  • Shop — Amber upgrades that also add bank slots and stable stalls
  • Creatures — tamed dinos housed in stable stalls
