Where are the houses?

[Dead Inside]

I have opened the drone on my farm to attempt to build my house and a dog house, but there are no houses in the blueprints. I have the buildings for the farm animals but no houses for me and my pet. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this??

You need to first build the chicken coop, which comes after the garage.

[Dead Inside]

I've built the chicken coup. What garage?? Do you mean the Tea House? I've built that as well.

[Vexare]

I think they meant the vehicle storage garage which for me was after the coop, not before.

It's part of the quests? I don't think I have gotten that far yet. I have the bike and the bent rebar "bike stand". So, what you are both saying is be patient and keep playing the game? lol!

I've not heard about the garage being needed for the house, just the coop but you need to get a chicken for it too, I think. Then the house plan unlocks, according to past posts.

Yes, the game has a defined 'tutorial' questline that keeps some things gated/locked until you do the parts before that leading up and unlocking new content.

After the bike rack, you should get the chicken coop and then the vehicle storage shed. I'm about to finish the vehicle shed and I think that's when the house becomes available but not entirely sure.

Thank you all so much for your responses. I was wondering for the longest if I messed up the game mechanics because I played the tutorial before I bought the game, then bought the game. I thought that messed up how the game played.

I will play the game and be patient.

Like any sensible person, you have to prioritize chicken housing over your own.

You can sleep on the ground for weeks like any normal person would do in the modern day instead.

You can buy a sleeping bag from the store and put it in the Tea House if you like! For some reason the sleeping bag turns into an ?air matress? ?Bed made of logs? (couldn't tell for sure) when you place it in doors!

I kind of like working up to such a big project as building a house. I would gain experience learning to build a coop or shed before tackling a house. The teahouse with a sleeping bag is cozy for a starter home while I learn to garden, build and craft things.

True but it wouldn't be that big a project to build a starter shack. It's basically just a shed you'd sleep in, not much more than building a coop, would be less IRL than building a pretty tea house.

It's not the working up to that people mind. It's just that since they started us in a tent we expected to be able to get plans for, at least some, basic (non-open-air) housing fairly quickly.

I hear you, and understand the house is important to a lot of people first as they are accustomed to having one from other games. I personally don't mind since it's just a place to save progress and sleep at night when you first get started as you can't really afford all the furniture and appliances right away.

My husband built the large shed and put his tent under that along with a table and his cooking and storage. He said it felt like he had more solid protection over the roof of his tent. :)

I do agree the teahouse was an odd choice for the first thing you're tasked to build since it has no real purpose to survival or farming. I think they wanted something simple for both tutorial reasons and to show off in the Demo version. That's just a guess, I have no idea really.

Most people upset with the house topic is upset for a very simple reason... The game makes fun of other games of the same genre with a joke about watering cans and the fact we have a hose since its not medieval times in the first 5 minutes.

Then the game procedes to give you a big knife for weeds, and axe for big ass trees cause real farmers ain't needing chainsaws, and then it makes you sleep on a tent for the equivalent of months if you play at the slow pace the game wants you, make a cute tea house as your priority couse we need to impress our dates, make a chicken coop couse F it I want omurice, then a barn for sheep because they are fluffy and fluff is love, and then a house with no beds cause wool is not something nobody in japan is aware you can sell so you need to breed a type of sheep unlocked by praying, because if after all that I don't have a bed I would pray too XDD

I don't know...since one big apeal of the game is its AMAZING building and decoration system(my favorite part by far as a decoration junkie ) why not have the tea house be still the first thing you build WHILE the NPC that gives you the blueprint says something along the lines of, use this to learn the basics while I desing a good house for you. Then after the teahouseis done he sees the good work you did, just like it mentions on the game right now, and it gives you the house blueprint, so you can at least start working towards it even if it requires a few days of material collection. Then you have the woodworking shop sell a basic futon as the first bed instead of a silly sleeping bag on a finished house, and you don't even need to change all the sheep thingy
