Home decoration
From Die2Nite Wiki
(Redirected from Home Decoration)
Not to be confused with Decoration.
Sprucing up your home with some memorabilia from the good old days... Home decoration points are the score for having home decoration objects and furniture in your house. Objects in your inventory are not counted. When you die, your 
Home's decoration score, based on which items you have in your house, is converted into 
Decoration distinctions at 1:1 ratio (3:1 in Private Towns). The score is given by the town's Committee for the Upkeep of Neat and Tastefully-decorated Shacks, formerly known as the Working Association for Nice Kept Shacks.
Unlike home defenses and upgrades, home decoration does not contribute to the town at all and is not necessary. Many people prefer to end their towns without taking the time to decorate their homes. It's also important to make it clear that not all furniture pieces serve for this purpose. Furniture like the 
Wad of Cash serve solely for the purpose of decorating. Others, like the 
Beer Fridge, can give decoration points but are better used for other purposes, like weapons or construction materials. Other furniture items, like the 
Padlock and Chain are merely functional and don't provide decoration points. Finally, some items provide more decoration points only if they are assembled, like the 
Mini HI-Fi (Broken), or powered with a 
Battery. This is considered a waste of materials by most other citizens.
