Buildings

A building**,** is a structure with a roof and walls standing permanently in one place, such as a house or factory. Buildings come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and functions, and have been adapted throughout history for a wide number of factors.

## Dalmer buildings

The Dalmer make use of particular building methods, and are well known for their underground settlements.

### Why can't some entities enter houses without permission

Dalmer: Legal restrictions, the house emits tinnitus which is discomforting. This option was originally used to keep pests away from the house. The option turns off if the owner of the home vocally invites the person in.

Undead: same thing, they are discomforted by the fact that the house is a home, as such the interdiction does not work for hotel rooms or temporary habitations.

### Construction Methods

With the rise of giant monster attacks, and the use of heavier and heavier ordnance, Dalmer construction methods and building materials became more focused on evacuation protocols. This made their constructions more pliable and versatile. This was to the point that buildings were able to lift off (known as edifices) or dig burrows for protection. Progressively, dalmer cities became more and more gargantuan underground complexes.

### Holodecorating

Holodecorating is the usage of holograms in order to decorate theinterior of an area. Holographic interior decorating gives options for wallpaper, paintings, potted plants and flowers and other interior improvement needs.

### Wireless charging

Dalmer buildings feature wireless charging. The technology works by inducting power charging from a source to the machine without plugging in the machine. These power emitters can charge several devices at once. These chargers not limited to interior spaces, and are placed in areas where chargeable devices will be immobile or in contact for extended periods of time (lamp posts, roads, desks, doors etc). The problem is that there is a loss of 10% of power due to inefficient power beaming.

### Moisture vaporator

Moisture vaporators are temperature management devices that work by creating ionic breezes. This creates an electric field that creates an air flow. If that air has moisture, the moisture vaporator will collect water as it is cold, creating condensation. This technology was inspired by cacti.

### Precognitive House AIOS

Dalmer buildings sometimes feature the precognitive AIOS, a program that follows the eyes of inhabitants, it does this to deduce what the inhabitant wants to do:

For example, if the owner looks at laundry to do, the house will transport the laundry to the washer, dry and fold them in the cupboard. a messy room will become clean, or change its decor accordingly to the users research history.

In case of home invasion, the AIOS will track the invaders eyes in order to feed the home defender with tactical real time information such as the invaders location, objectives, weaponry and mental state.

### Meal preparator

Usually placed atop a fridge, a meal preparator, as its name implies prepares food and serves the meal on a platter. In a pinch, these built in fridges are designed to convert the food inside them to provide power to the building by converting the food into joules with 80% efficiency.

### Privacy seal

Privacy seals are Dalmer devices installed on doors. If activated, they can prevent entry without the permission of the room's occupant(s).

### On site AF weapon

Most dalmer research and science labs have on site AF weapons to ensure secrecy of the research. These are notoriously easy to defuse.

### Autoconfining bathrooms

Bathrooms that close up when there is too much noxious gas present without aeration.

### Sprint door opener

A detector that can be installed above doors. When sprinting, doors will open before the user reaches them no matter how fast they are going.

### Home Defense Vacuum

Come with movement detectors and automated weapons that smart fire at non authorized persons. Versions include Pistol mounted, chainsaw mounted and anti personnel mine mounted vacuums.

## Other race buildings

The other races have their own architectural styles and building methods reflective of their unique cultures.
