Does upgrade houses do something special?

[BlueLightning]

the only things i know why to upgrade is to
1. get other things to put in the backyard
2. to get a science point.
Now i am wondering, does the productivty of a house go up? like if a house with a veg garden make more vegs if it is higher level?

You start earning passive town coffer income if you upgrade a burgage plot to L2, I don't believe that affects production of materials.

As far as I can see, it gives access to resources and expand number of families accepted. The greater the upgrade, more options appear.

Better houses can have better extensions and workshops built.

You get 1 coin a month for upgraded house, which is a great way to make much needed early money without getting a bad rep from forcing taxes.

Pay attention to backyard upgrades: Some upgrades turns the villagers into artisans and removes their use. You can't put them on regular jobs anymore. The apple orchad is currently bugged, meaning the apples just sit at the market and have no use/don't prevent starvation since people can't eat them

Yeah just messed up my run by making too many families artisans, so people just stand around doing nothing when I want to stop production eg. of the Joinery or Blacksmith

Then there's not enough people to get food, build etc.

There is never "to many artisans", only "to few trade routes" :D

I did the same mistake and decided to start over. Lol. ánd if you advance too fast they start getting cranky demanding things you currently don't have the infrastructure for or influence to build.

You can still give them a chicken coop, vegetable garden, goat ranch - those things don't affect the artisan part. When it comes to food I find the easiest way is to focus on a couple of wheat fields, move in 4 families in farm, 1 windmill, and when you have flower put 3 people on bread oven. All of a sudden I had 500 bread and it wasn't even hard to get.
