Biome, blueprint and building costs
Clear the biome for your target character
Use the table to choose the character you want. Clear the listed biome to unlock the house blueprint. Several houses share a biome, so a different building name is not necessarily a different destination.
On a small screen, scroll the table sideways to see all four columns.

Crystal is a new expansion resource gathered with the Crystal Monolith and Crystal Cavern buildings. Check the exact house cost before spending: the requirements range from 100 to 900 Crystal, in addition to Wood, Stone, Gold or Wheat. Use the table’s building name and cost together.
Build the house at your base
After the biome clear has unlocked the blueprint, return to base, construct the character’s listed building, and send harvesters to work on it. Clearing the biome is the blueprint step; the building work completes the unlock.
What success looks like
The target character becomes available in your roster after their required building is completed. Check the character name against the house you built.
If it does not work
If the character is missing, first check whether the correct biome has been cleared and its blueprint unlocked. Then check the exact house, its full resource cost including Crystal, and whether harvesters have completed the building. If DLC biomes are missing entirely, follow the access checks before chasing a blueprint.
