The world of Outbreak buildings are divided into 4 main categories, which are listed below. It's important to keep the building category in mind as you look towards creating your own business or your own group and want an area to call your own. As time goes on, more areas will be added, but for now, these are the current available places.

Category 1: Official Sim Faction HQ: An official sim faction HQ is pretty self explanatory, but it essentially means that the building is home to a group that is controlled by the sim itself. A great example is the Hospital or the two story section of the Motel. They are permanently assigned as HQ's to sim factions (AES, Rebels, etc).

Category 2: Official Sim Business: An official sim business is a place that is a constant throughout the sim, regardless of who may be in charge of operating it at the present time. For example - Coach's Pub, it may undergo various owners throughout the life of Outbreak, but it will always remain Coach's Pub and therefore is not available for an independent group to take over.

Category 3: Squatter Area: A squatter area is an area or building (usually partially demolished) that is reserved as open to the public. This means that no group may claim the area as their own, it is free for any person in sim to use at any time, so long as standard rp rules are followed (if people are rp'ing in a squatter area you should acknowledge the scene and follow standard post in or out rules).

Category 4: Rentable Structures: Not to be confused with rentable apartments, the rentable structures serve as inexpensive options for private groups to make home bases. Spread throughout the sim, the rentable structures can serve as home for new business ideas or just as HQ's for groups.
