Obviously, I appreciate you've got a number of trees, crops, animals, etc. However, you also get those out in the 'real world'. I'm struggling to understand what I need a house for...
Extra storage seems an obvious one. But I've never run out of storage capacity, and with the increased teleportation charges how easy is it really going to be to keep popping back for that whatever you forgot to take with you?
I've certainly found them a useful place to re-organise your bags, or temporarily drop bags to get the right sized stacks etc. But I can also do this in an out of the way corner of the world without too much risk if I'm careful.
Perhaps I need to get RHK and some more piggies (all mine have died as I just never seem to go home) and take up Croppery again to really appreciate the house. Maybe these new Group Halls will be more useful to me - fingers crossed striatic will let me be in his 'gang'...
