Introduction

SlothMUD allows players to purchase housing rooms that can be customized and used to store items. This guide lists in detail the steps required for players to build their customized houses.

Purchasing the First Room

Purchase a Hovel Object

A housing developer can be found on most continents:

Continent	Developer	Location
Thordfalan	Kaya	Bal Harbor, Inside Treasures and Dreams Square, then West of Lord Moonglum
Thule	Briar	Aisholm
Niebelung	The Tent-Maker	Ravenloft in Barovia
The Island	Norman Bates	Thalassas in the Guild of Merchants
Lyme	Magistrate Kao-Yao	Ch'ung Kuo

Each developer will sell a hovel object for 10,000,000 coins. Once you purchase the hovel object, the developer will teleport you to the local neighborhood where the house can be build.

Find a Suitable Building Spot

Once you are in the neighborhood, use the survey command to locate an ideal spot to turn your hovel into a full-sized house. You may need to walk the various streets inside the neighborhood as sites near the entrance tend to be built first.

Build and Enter the House

Once you've found a location, build your house using the command BUILD HOVEL <direction> <door name(s)>. This will turn the hovel object into your house in the specified direction. You are required to specify atleast one name for the door and may provide multiple names separated by spaces. If this is your first house, you will be provided a key for the front door. Unlock the door and enter your new house!

Using the Vault

Each room in your house comes with a vault that can be used to store items. These items are kept in a protected space and will persist through game reboots. The following vault commands are available inside the house:

Type OPEN VAULT to open the vault for the first time. The LIST command will show you the contents of the vault. Use the DEPOSIT command
