Daub or not to daub

[lmill1]

I read somewhere in these discussions about someone updating the walls of the henhouse with daub. So, I made some and tried to apply it and though it shows an option I was unable to update the walls. Do I need to do anything other than select upgrade with the hammer? Also, is it worth it?

only home walls are up-gradable with daub or limestone. some other buildings are up-gradable when you unlock the tier two or three versions. the henhouse is not one of those. when you do unlock new versions, simply select it and place the hologram over the top of the old one. it will snap and upgrade, leaving the walls for you to re-build.

advice from all players i'm sure is; don't bother with wattle wall homes. build them out of stone from the beginning. before you hit the walls with your hammer, select the options and change each wall to either stone or logs/planks. this is doable from the start and saves you tons of time upgrading everything later. plus, it saves time on time repairs.

As far as I know you can only upgrade houses with daub or limestone (daub for wood houses and limestone for stone houses). You can't upgrade other buildings like the henhouse.

afaik the henhouse is bugged for daub, but is known and will be fixed in the next update

you can upgrade some other buildings with limestone and daub, but not all. For instance the barn and resource storage can be but the food storage can't yet

O damn, I didn't know that! Thought it was only for houses. Cool! I'll try it out tx!

This was part of last update! Like TheMole said, some but not all. I'm not sure if I've seen a pattern yet regarding which are and aren't.

Unfortunately, we can only update the walls, so still no option to add lighting inside. Hopefully in a future update? We'll see.

I'm in game right now and there is no option to upgrade barn or resource storage. Would expect it to be highlighted like the houses

Any known effects on the villagers, like rising happiness or productivity? Or is it just cosmetics?

just for the looks. Atleast for right now.
