Not only dwellings but fuel as well. I mean, if you don't have trees how are you going to invent fire...

Some people consider cooking a critical step in our evolution (cooking enables harvesting more calories from food).

With no good fuel available cooking could also be ... off the menu.

Dry grass catches fire quite easily and high gravity shouldn't hinder the growth of low grass.

If not grass, dried escrements are also good fuel. People use them in areas of this world with little or no trees.
