How to rebuild a destroyed house (In a city)

[Skinny]

Hi, i've been trying to figure out how to rebuild a destroyed house. I've bought the house for 3,200 cats, but i can't seem to figure out how you rebuild it, if that's even posible.

Please let me know if i'm doing something wrong, thank you.

so i would try to place an item like a research bench in it. then you will need alot of building mats to build the house and the bench thats how i got it to finally work

[Skinny]

Hmm, i have a reserch bench and a few other things in the space that i could, it just doesn't come up with an option to repair, build or anything of that matter on the house.

Should i try just stocking up on a lot of building materials and see if anything happens?

[Atruin Augustus]

you could

You just need the proper building materials.

[Skinny]

Hi, what would the proper building materials be? For a ruined longhouse

Can you post a screenshot? Normally it's supposed to start the repair process on its own the moment you buy it, you just need to put material into it afterward.

Just left click on the building, it should tell you what it needs to finish the construction in the bottom left.

[Skinny]

Never mind, i just found how you do it. Thank you for your help.

[Shidan]

Odd. Yeah, it didn't start the repair process. And there's no way to start it manually. I'll go buy a ruin in my game, see if I can reproduce the issue.

Edit: How? I'm curious.

[Skinny]

I just got one of my people, held right mouse button on the building (like you do on people) and then it gave me the option to repair and now it's doing it.

[Shidan]

Huh. Well okay then.

[Skinny]

Yeah it was that simple lol, thank you for your help.

omfg! thank you ; i noticed this automatic repair not starting recently as well, but did not figure that out.

Time to move back into the Hub for all my adventuring needs .

This is the only way I've ever gotten the building to go into build mode, I literally have to place another internal structure first. The right mouse button option with one of my team selected never worked for me - this was the first thing I tried. Perhaps I was just experiencing a glitch?

Lol, just had the same error. Seems some things didn't get fixed at all >.>

Sadly this seems bug riddled. I bought one house in the Hub. It went into construction mode. Great. Fixed it up, put a small research bench in it, training dummy, textile bench, couple of chests ... fine. But my level 2 research bench would not go in, never mind what. This was a BIG house, one of the L-shaped ones, but, no cigar.
So I bought a second building. This one did NOT go into construction mode. I did manage to fit a level 2 research bench in there, but nobody could go inside to build it .... house still not able to construct/repair. Will try to exit and reload, hope that will fix it. If not, I'll have to reload an earlier save :-(
