Rooftop Terrace

The Rooftop Terrace is a well-being building that provides a social gathering space for beavers to relax, socialize, and enjoy scenic views from atop other structures. Available to both Folktails and Iron Teeth at a cost of 250 Science Points, this 3x2 structure costs 15 Logs to build and accommodates 8 to 10 visitors at a time. As its name suggests, the Rooftop Terrace must be placed on top of other buildings rather than on the ground, making it a space-efficient way to add social amenities without consuming valuable ground-level real estate.

The Rooftop Terrace satisfies the Social Life need for beavers who visit it, which is an important component of overall well-being and, by extension, workforce productivity. Beavers can visit the terrace at any time of day, though the atmospheric firepit animation only activates at night, creating a cozy gathering spot under the stars. Placing Rooftop Terraces above residential clusters like Lodges, Double Lodges, Barracks, or Rowhouses creates efficient residential neighborhoods where beavers can step out of their homes and immediately access social activities without long commutes.

Strategic placement of Rooftop Terraces is key to maintaining high well-being scores in dense settlements. Since they sit on top of other buildings, they effectively add a layer of amenities to your existing infrastructure at no additional ground cost. This is especially valuable in Iron Teeth colonies with their tall, narrow Rowhouses and Large Rowhouses, which provide excellent foundations for rooftop social spaces. Build Rooftop Terraces in clusters throughout your residential areas to ensure that every beaver has convenient access to social fulfillment. Combined with other well-being buildings, adequate food variety, and comfortable housing, the Rooftop Terrace helps keep your colony happy and productive through even the harshest droughts.
