Editing Fêng shui

'''Fêng shui'''<ref>''"Well, that's just good fêng shui, <player>!"'' — [[Happy Home Academy]], {{NH}}</ref> (pronounced [[Wikipedia:IPA|ˌfʌŋˈʃweɪ]], "fung-shway"), also formatted as '''feng shui''', is a game mechanic in which the player's [[Happy Home Academy]] score and [[luck]] regarding items and money are increased based on the arrangement of furniture in the player's [[Player house|house]].

Fêng shui in the {{SER|nolink}} is based on a practice originating from ancient China in which housewares are arranged in a certain way to increase the flow of positive energy throughout a house.

==Item colors and house layout==
Every furniture item has a color assigned to it.{{Note|In {{PG|nolink}}, items do not have colors aside from those that affect fêng shui.}} Colors that affect fêng shui are red, green, and yellow. Each side of the player's house (west, east, and south) has a corresponding color, and fêng shui increases if items of that color are placed there. Red corresponds to the east end of a room, green corresponds to the south, and yellow corresponds to the west. In {{PG}} only, there are two more fêng shui colors: orange and special. Orange corresponds to the north end of a room and special items can be placed anywhere in a room and still increase fêng shui. The more items of the correct color are placed in the player's house, the stronger the luck effects of fêng shui are.

Below are graphics representing the layout of fêng shui in a player's house.

*Special fêng shui increases both item and money luck by 8 points and 4 points respectively, when any special item is placed anywhere in the player's house. They provide the points and duplicate items count.

Item luck has a limit of 20 points. Therefore, only 3 red or special fêng shui items are required to max out item luck. [[Katrina]]'s fortune may provide an additional 30 points, making the total maximum 50 points.

The value of money luck has no limit other than the amount of items the player can place in their house. In normal gameplay, this is 192 items. Katrina's fortune may also provide an additional 100 points.

Certain items facing the wall deduct points from both item and money luck. Each item facing the wall deducts 5 points of item luck and 10 points of money luck. Katrina's fortune may also reduce money luck by -50 points and item luck by -30 points. The minimum value for money luck is -80 and the minimum value for item luck is -30.

Furniture that are 2 to 4 squares wide will not count towards the fêng shui value if they don't fit into the whole area for that color.<ref>https://wikiwiki.jp/ds-doubutu/%E9%A2%A8%E6%B0%B4</ref> Example: In a starting house, placing only one side of a red bed against the right wall will not count towards the fêng shui value, but if the red bed is then turned around and completely placed against the wall, it will count.
