The catalogue of models

What a model is

A model is a finished object such as a kettle, a sink, a clock or a crate of apples. It takes up one or more cells, and it goes down whole, facing you. A model needs all of its cells to be free before you can place it. When it is broken, it comes apart whole and drops once. Models also work with the world: they can be a lamp, a seat, a bed, a clock or a cooker, and some are base defences.

The catalogue runs to several thousand models. Models are sorted by category in the Store, which lists each one with its picture and description. The counts below are from the catalogue's compiled list of models, so treat them as a guide.

What the models do

Most models are for looks, but some have a job:

Job	Models	What it does
Lamp	1,239	Gives light. Electric lights draw power from a network, and some turn on only after dark.
Seat	331	Something to sit on, which also counts as seating for a home.
Storage	91	Holds items, like a crate.
Bed	79	Somewhere to sleep, which counts for a home.
Clock	68	Tells the time of day when used.
Radio, TV and music	38	Plays sound or a picture when used.
Mirror and wardrobe	19	Opens the outfit screen when used.
Jukebox	3	Plays one of the game's tunes each use.
Engines	8	Ship engines in steam, coal, petrol and diesel, in two sizes.
Base defences	5	The Dart, Gun and Pulse turrets, the Spike Trap and the Alarm Bell. See the raids and storms page.

Families

Many models are made in families: one design in several finishes, so a chair comes in many woods and paints. The largest families are the lettering and signs (over 1,500 pieces between them), the seating (173 chairs, stools and benches), the lamps (178), the statues (135), the art (111) and the rugs (116). Each family member is the same design in a different colour or wood.

Tips

• Check the cells of a model before you place it: a large model needs all of its cells free.
• Electric lights and wired machines need a power network. See the machines and power page.
• A seat, a bed and a lamp are each worth a point toward a home. Read the homes page to see what else counts.
• Use the Store to browse by category and find a model's description before you get it.
