Heyo,
Was wondering how the game handles ownership of built structures.

Say im a farmer, I may not have the skills to build a nice house. Say i found someone who was willing to build me a house in trade for something i can do. If he builds the house for me, who owns it?

From what ive seen so far, which isnt much, the game assigns ownership to who builds it. Am i wrong?

After the house is built one have to come and right click the house. There will be an option to take ownership of the house. Basically, whoever does it first will be the owner

Is there a secure way to do this as a builder, building a house for someone else?

I'm assuming it's a matter of paying beforehand and protection is up to those involved during the process so the intended buyer gets ownership?

Or is there transfer of ownership?

It would be done with writs of ownerships, but that's dev choice if they want to implement something like that or not

There is ownership, but (at least for shacks) it lasts only 12 h, after you claim the ownership.

You also have to differentiate between ownership and binding the house as your home.

When I see it right, the binding as home cannot be removed by someone else, the ownership can be "stolen" after the 12 h are over.

I hope there will be a more permanent solution for ownerships, especially because the current missing of personal claims make it quite hard to protect your stuff.

Private and Guild claims are not implemented yet. Wait for the implementation and read FAQ about claims please.
