Why building a house?

Hello all!
Apart that is *insanely* fun, why would you build a house?

Admittedly I'm new to this kind of games and sincerely I'm having a great time playing Starbound. But soon enough I found myself wondering if there should be more reasons for building a house. Something to justify investing time in getting the best materials for making it resistant, warm, and so on. Like acquiring the knowledge for forging new materials for buildings.

I don't know yet, but it seems that NPCs never leave their area and therefore no one really tries to break through my home. On my little house I build a sort of hunting tower, and I placed some big lights on the surroundings, so that if I'm bored at night, I can get some steaks to use later in long session of exploration.

An other thing I'm thinking to do is to build small entrances to mines here and there across the planets of the system. Just to remind me where there is a good entrance which brings pretty low underground. There my imagination tells me that this way the entrance is kept safe from looters.

But, again, wouldn't be more fun if one had to be concerned with other factors but the simple esthetic while building buildings in the game?

Well, if I'm too naive, just say

To make a "home"

Also, later you can make NPCs with Spawner items, so you can make your own city.

 

You can also use spawners in your ship, thus still not needing homes

 

I've been thinking about this problem, and the only way I can think of to make houses or home bases truly relevant would be to provide a free way to travel there and then back to where you were. Perhaps a wormhole generator that opens a wormhole back to your home planet, which you can then go back through to reach where you were before. After that the wormhole closes and you pick the generator back up.

 

Ah, ok. I searched for "why build home" and I couldn't find anything. How did you get so much results? Thanks anyway, that's what I was looking for

 

Yes, I did once. It was a chef. That puzzled me and made me happy. So I wanted to order a sandwich. But I pressed the wrong button. And I killed him.

 

Okay geez, there are a lot of topics on this... I'm going to redirect you to the oldest one I think there is here : http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/so-whats-the-point-of-making-a-home.38640/
