Homesteads are residential buildings that provide shelter for settlers. Every settler requires a homestead in order to live and survive within the settlement.
Homesteads are among the first structures the player will place when starting a new world in Thveit. They are designed to feel dense, cozy, and highly detailed, reflecting the stylized Norse-inspired aesthetic of the game.
Currently, the game offers Tier I Homesteads, capable of housing up to 3 settlers and a few cats.
Homesteads serve several critical purposes:
- Provide shelter and warmth
- Allow settlers to rest and recover comfort
- Enable food consumption and survival
- Protect settlers from environmental hazards and seasonal effects
Settlers left without housing become homeless. Homeless settlers are exposed to harsh weather conditions, cannot consume food properly, and will eventually perish if left unsheltered for too long.
