Houses and building in Darkwood.
The time has come where town building won't be so thoroughly based within the town walls, as it is getting rather packed in there. I have decided to make the decision to encourage people to build within the towny limits of Darkwood, but beyond the town walls.
Building for residents still won't be permitted within the walls, but beyond them, small houses, or hunting huts will be approved of. Where these houses can be built will be marked out in plots, to make use of the best layout and ensure it remains attractive and uncluttered.
Residents will be expected to follow the style of the buildings that can already be seen. Materials permitted to be used in builds are as follows:
-Pine logs (Dark wood from local trees)
-wooden planks
-Brick
-Cobble (where appropriate)
-Glass panes
-Cobble stairs (for roofing is expected)
-Wooden stairs (an option for roofing)
Anything that majorly jars with the aesthetic theme of the town will be requested to be removed, or taken down if no response is shown.
Houses within the town will be granted to prominent townsfolk who are well integrated and show an interest in Darkwood. Residents of these houses cannot modify their design, but can personalise the interior. If you live in a town house, you can still build your own hunting hut, or forest lodge beyond the walls for convenience if you wish.
Cellars (Basements): If you want a lower level to your house, you will have to ask my permission before digging it, and adhere to the limits of depth that I specify. This is mainly due to the danger of residents getting carried away with their digging and undermining the whole town as has been done before.
Come to think of it I don't understand why others aren't like this !
