The Demolition Kit: Your Key to Relocation
The magic wand (or, rather, hammer) that makes house-moving possible in Sun Haven is the Demolition Kit. This isn’t just for demolishing; it’s for carefully dismantling your structure and returning it to your inventory, ready for redeployment.
Acquiring the Kit
- Head to the Town Hall in Sun Haven.
- Seek out Emmett, who handles all things construction and permits.
- Purchase a Demolition Kit for 2,500 Gold. It’s a worthwhile investment for the flexibility it provides.
Using the Kit to Move Your House
- Make sure to clear the new plot you want to put it in of any obstructions.
- Place the Demolition Kit in your hotbar for easy access.
- Select the Demolition Kit in your hotbar.
- Click on your house. This will initiate the dismantling process.
- Wait for the animation to complete. Your house, along with all its upgrades, will reappear in your inventory as a placable item.
- Open your inventory and select the house.
- Choose your new location and confirm the placement. Voila! Your house has moved.
Important Considerations
- Cost: Keep in mind that each move will cost you 2,500 Gold. Plan carefully to avoid unnecessary expenses.
- Barns Too: The Demolition Kit works on barns as well, allowing for total farm reconfiguration.
- Inventory Space: Ensure you have sufficient inventory space for the house to return to your inventory after dismantling.
- House Upgrades: Don’t worry about losing your upgrades. When you move your house, all your hard-earned enhancements will come with it.
