Renovations

⚠️ This page is a work in progress ⚠️

Information is being added. Please check back later for updates.

Renovations are one of the main aspects and objective of the Obenseuer, that become available as soon as the player receives Tenement Blueprint from Malone Petronis.

Tenement Blueprint gives a wide range of renovations to start, individual apartments, their upgrades and utilities, general tenement upgrades and its utilities, basement upgrades and roof upgrades and outdoors upgrades. Renovations can be contracted to renovation contractors limited to the level of that contractor or blocked by requirements of other renovations.

Apartment renovations

The Player's Tenement has currently 16 available apartments that can be renovated, that also includes the player's apartment and the apartment of Malone Petronis, remaining apartments can be rented to people looking for homes in exchange for a stable income.

The apartment upgrades themselves can be split into general upgrades (Walls, Bathroom, Kitchen and Balconies) and utilities (Heating, Electricity and Water), which the latter may require tenement utilities first. It is advised to focus on preparing apartments for renting first, before the player tackles renovations of their own or Malone's apartment.

Tenement renovations

The tenement itself has multiple key upgrades to perform, mainly the Stairwell renovations, that with each level, will unlock more floors, and Basement renovation, which allows to install utilities required in later apartment upgrades. It is very important to differentiate apartment utilities from tenement utilities when planning renovations.

Besides the two main upgrades, with unlocked basement, the player can further renovate it, expanding it to a personal workshop, a public sauna and a mushroom farm. Unlocking all floors with the roof included, allows to start roof renovations. The player can also at any time renovate the outdoors, cleaning up the courtyard, renovating the façade and expanding the tenement with a pier and a canal sauna, which of those upgrades, some may be required by potential tenants.

In the current version, by default the tenement starts with Makeshift I level of Pier and Sauna upgrade.

Starting renovations

After acquiring Tenement Blueprint, the player is able to talk to renovation contractors, starting with Tenement Contract Work! run by Samuel Jonasson. Upon interaction, the player is given a choice which renovations to start, each requires the player to gather resources and pay initial payment in OCs, finished renovation needs final payment in RMs to be applied in the tenement. The player can start multiple renovations concurrently and is free to hold on paying the final payment as long as they please. Higher level renovations will require the player visiting new districts and finding a contractor with better skills there.

For apartment renovations, the player is required to fully examine that apartment by visiting every room, and cleaning up trash, furniture, contaminated materials, mold and graffiti, using the Cleaning Mode. Any gathered furniture the player finds can utilize for themselves.

Resources needed for renovations can be placed in the "Renovation Resources" chest located next to the contractor, it is wise to plan ahead and buy or find rarer resources in advance, as their availability might be low when a time for renovation comes otherwise. Samuel Jonasson also accepts stolen resources for the renovations.
