Houses are the fastest path to raising Environment Level. Pokemon living indoors gain Comfort much faster than ones in open habitats. You can build from pre-made kits or go manual with blocks. Manual needs at least 4 walls, 2 blocks high, and 3 furniture pieces inside to count as a home.
Steps#
- Method 1 — Building Kits: Craft or purchase a building kit (Leaf Cottage, Leaf Hut, Stone Den, etc.) from the shop or workbench.
- Place the kit at your desired build site.
- Lead Pokemon with Build, Bulldoze, and Chop specialties to the construction site — you need 8 Pokemon total.
- The Pokemon will construct the building automatically.
- Method 2 — Manual Building: Place blocks (stone, wood, etc.) to form walls — minimum 4 walls.
- Build at least 2 blocks high to form a proper enclosed structure.
- To convert a building into a home, add 3 or more furniture pieces inside.
Key Building Materials
Houses require a Building Kit plus walls and furniture. Stock up on these core materials.
Brick
A processed material used for crafting buildings and roads
Iron Ingot
Smelted iron for crafting
Lumber
Processed from small logs
Stone
Common building material
A Building Kit (crafted at your Workbench), plus wall materials and a door. The Building Kit recipe varies by house size, but expect to need Lumber, Stone, and Iron Ingots at minimum. Place the kit where you want the house, then assign a Build-specialty Pokemon.
Depends on the structure size and how many Build Pokemon you assign. A small shed takes about 30 in-game minutes with one builder. A full house can take half a day. More builders speed it up proportionally.
Not currently. Plan your placement carefully before putting down the Building Kit. If you really need to move it, you'll have to demolish and rebuild from scratch, which wastes materials.
