Land, building and decoration
Place, move and rotate available buildings, paint paths and arrange decoration on the land your Elder Tree has opened.
⭐ Building uses the land and pieces currently available to your island. Further land opens through the Elder Tree, and additional animal houses open at island Lv10.
Overview
Buildings and decoration occupy cells on the island. Placement checks the land and the piece’s footprint rather than allowing every object anywhere. Paths can be painted on eligible open ground and help animals walk faster; decoration changes the layout and takes its own space.
Movable buildings can be repositioned or rotated, while fixed locations such as the harbor and fishing spots keep their own rules. Animal houses preserve sleeping capacity and cannot simply be stored away to leave the island without beds. Idle eligible buildings can be put into building storage.
What you can do
- 1
Place and rotate eligible buildings on open land.
- 2
Move stations within their placement rules.
- 3
Paint paths and arrange decoration.
- 4
Put eligible idle pieces into storage for later use.
The experience
Stored decoration shares inventory capacity, and stored pieces can be placed again when their conditions are met. A busy station or one holding work or goods cannot always be put away immediately. The placement preview and current refusal message explain what is stopping that action.
Tips
- Leave room to enjoy watching animals move through your layout.
- Use the placement preview to check the rules of the piece you are arranging.
