Upgrading house from wood to Stone possible?

[Dragonrubi]

I noticed that must building can be “upgraded”, you just place the blueprint over the old building.

But I don’t know if that can be done with houses, i mean from a small to medium to big (i assume the size may be a problem).

Also once built, if you can “upgrade it” from stick or wood to stone for example.

Or it should be destroyed and rebuilt?

The houses are 3 diferent lvl.1 buildings, so no, you can't just plant another blueprint over them. And to change the material of wall-sections, you'll have to destroy them, too.

Thank you what i wanted to know.... well let's get hands dirty i have a lot of work to do.

Not sure about my english, so just in case:
Only the sections! If you want to change them all, you can still keep the base and log-frame!

And remember, to reassign your villagers afterwards / assign them to a temporary home meanwhile. Otherwise, they'll be without shelter - and therefore without food, water and firewood, too

Yes thank you
i decided to destroy a small house to build the medium size and noticed the mechanics, i assume you can destroy panel by panel and replace for the one you consider.
And yes i also was thinking as you explain in some cases i would need an extra house for moving people meanwhile i build better ones.

You can also move the doors and windows so that not all houses look the same. Also, you don't have to make all the walls with the same material, so it also changes the monotony of the same houses.

If you don't spend too much time modifying the house, the occupants won't leave the village, so you won't need an extra house during the renovation.

That does not seem quite correct. I went to upgrade my houses, and it showed a complete house blueprint, that I had to overlay on the existing house. :O

That work, but then you need to build it Up again.
Seems uneccessary, IF you just want to change materials.

Huh? The same size of house, or a different one?
I can imagine, you possibly can put a bp of the same size over an existing house and reduce it to base and frame. Don't know.
But I'm quite sure, you can't put the middle bp over a small house, for example

Edit: Thx, Hubbe

No, you should not be able to put a house Tier 2 over a Tier 1, sinse diffrent blueprint.

But doing it for changing materials, 🤔 Might be worth it.

all other buildings can be upgraded without exception? p. e. smithy 2 to 3, etc.

Yes.
You only need to place the blueprint of the higher tier building right above the already existing lower tier building. You then need to build up walls and roof parts and such, though, because those are of other materials.

Make sure you move them to upgraded house before you tear it up they will get very upset if try do that while there living there.

If you don't do it during night when they actually want to sleep in their beds it should be okay. When you have all needed materials at hand or nearby you shouldn't take longer than 1-2 ingame hours at the max to get the renovations finished and can move them in again. In such a short time they won't lose too much of their mood.
