Loftia house and permits guide

Short answer

Finish It's On the House to unlock house customization with Milo. Placement limits rise through permits, bought with Dew and sometimes Bloom. The best early buys are Garden Beds at 25 and 500 Dew, and Energy Stations at 125 and 1,000 Dew.

Applies to Early Access launch version (Nov 3, 2026) Sources checked

How to upgrade your house

  1. Finish A Call From the Gardens in the main story.
  2. Take It's On the House, offered by Clive in Loftia City Game data.
  3. Choose a House Improvement from Milo's shop. The first one is free.
  4. Meet Milo near the Architect Station in your neighborhood, then use the station to customize your house.

All permit tiers

Talk to Amani at the Permits Office in Loftia City Press. Each cell shows the new limit, then the cost. "Bloom not listed" means our two sources only confirmed the Dew price.

Bloom costs are confirmed for Garden Beds, Energy Stations, Pet Habitats, Structural Items and Island Slots. The other rows show Dew only, so Bloom not listed does not mean free.

What to buy first

  1. Garden Beds tier 1 and 2: 525 Dew in total for 3 beds.
  2. Energy Stations tier 1 and 2: 1,125 Dew in total for 3 stations.
  3. Processing Stations tier 1: 300 Dew for a second station.
  4. Island Slots: leave these for later. They cost 10,000 and 20,000 Dew plus Bloom.

This order is our recommendation. Early Dew goes furthest on things that make more Dew. See crop income.
