Basements

[kjchant]

Why are basements not included in the game. Most house foundations are built on basements. When is it going to be included? I have help constructed plenty of homes and new buildings that have a walk out basement.

Thanks for your feedback! Basements aren’t included yet, but we know they’re an important feature for many builders. Adding basements is on our radar, and while we don’t have a specific timeline, it’s something we’d love to include in future updates. We appreciate your patience as we continue expanding the game during Early Access!

Still no BASEMENT plans ?? *wondering*

It´s actually rather simple, if you add cosmetic stuff later..
-> 1-2 months max (incl. playtesting)

Yeah, it is quite an omission. Even Contractville has it in the built-in houses (although I haven't found a way to add a basement to one of my own builds, so I assume it's not included yet). House Flipper's house building feature appears to have it also, although I haven't tried it (you need the Farm DLC, as I understand it).

The thing is, Hometopia is supposed to give us a wide range of choices. That's Hometopia's selling point over other house-building games, and basements seem like a really basic feature, especially for American prototypes.

I can confirm that, in House flipper, even with the building feature (farm dlc), you cannot add a basement nor in the pre-existing houses or in the ones you build.
Hometopia is still in development, so let's be patient and i'm sure they're going to add it.

That's weird. As I said, I haven't tried it. Notably, Minecraft has always had basements, and sub-basements, and bunkers down to the bedrock. :-)
