House Board

[mishuno]

I've made another building to house all my crafting stations - I placed a house board in front by the front door - yet I can not get it to work - when I click on it nothing happens - I can just grab it. I tried placing inside as well - rotated it - nothing works.

I even placed a bed in the room thinking it had top have a bed to get the board to work - nada.

Can someone tell me how to get it to work - I want to change the appearance of the roof - walls etc....

First It only works when place inside a room.
And the room must be fully closeup + attach a door.

Normal situation that house or room board does not works is it does not fulfill the condition as room, you probably does not fully wallup to make it a room.

This is for house (house board) - not room (room board) - and I do have all fours walls and a door - a roof was auto placed - so it is considered and was recognized as a house/room

Did you try using a Room Board, first?
I think Room Board has an option to "change group", which is used to differentiate different housing groups.

Maybe the new house board you're trying to use is acting like "you already have another housing board for this house".
But, I'm not sure on that, since I've never tried placing more than one housing board per house to see if that's even a thing that can be an issue.

You have to put the house board on a wall *inside* one of the rooms. At least that's what threw me off when I first started building. Same for the house sign, has to go inside a room to work, and affects that room and all directly connected rooms, which is what Elin considers a house.

As far as I know, both house board and room board should be placed inside.
You can hide the board if you think its ugly or use the wall mounted counterparts.

The house boards affects all connected buildings and rooms in the same group number.

Finally got this to work - not sure how (bug?) but after placing it a couple times inside the building - it worked - took a couple tries but then it just worked out of the blue. Have it in the left hand corner of the room.

I was willing to admit I stuck the house board on the outside of my first house.

I did place it on the outside as well - but I also tried multiple times on the inside and it would not work there. Why would I ask the question? As stated I tried multiple locations inside the room and it would not work - then it just worked. No rhyme or reason.
