Cabin

Houses Obsidian farm

It's a necessary source of workers, but not a free one - every extra Cabin gives you more hands to work with, always at the cost of lower happiness you have to plan around.

What it's for

Your industrious workers eat and sleep in the cabin. New cabins increase the number of workers but cause unhappiness.

The Cabin is the basic housing on the Obsidian farm - your workers live and eat there, and the more of them you build, the more people you have for your production buildings. Every new worker costs you a hit to farm happiness, though, which then feeds straight into your production costs. You buy it in the shop for obsidian dollars and it takes up 5x5. It's the standard choice for anyone who needs more hands on the Obsidian farm and doesn't want to reach for Gold right away.

When to build it

It unlocks together with the Obsidian farm at player level 114. It's worth building as soon as you run out of free workers to staff your next building - how many you need depends on how many production and processing buildings you plan to run, since each Cabin only covers a limited number of slots.

Is it worth upgrading

The six levels take you from 10 residents at the first up to 30 at the sixth, but happiness falls alongside from -35 to -175. The price climbs from 2500 to 700000 obsidian dollars and the build time stretches from 15 minutes to almost 18 hours. Upgrading pays off once you have enough houses and decorations on the farm that the happiness drop doesn't push your production costs past what you can live with - otherwise you're better off building a new Cabin than pushing an old one to a higher level.

Tip from a veteran player Before every Cabin upgrade, check how far your farm happiness will fall - at the higher levels the drop is noticeable, and if you don't offset it with decorations, production across the rest of the farm starts costing you more.

Most common mistake Players churn out one Cabin after another to get more workers, but never add decorations or extra houses to go with them - happiness then sinks so low that everything they produce on the farm gets more expensive.
