Complex Needs

The Consumption Control Panel Controlling Services and Foods Needs

Overview

Complex Needs are opportunities for Viceroys to boost Villager Resolve when fulfilled. There are 4 types of Complex Needs, they are:

• Complex Food Need
• Complex Housing Need
• Clothing Need
• Services Need

Fulfilling these Needs

Complex Food & Services

All Villagers will eat raw food to survive, but they need Complex Food to thrive and fulfill the Complex Food Need. All Species have different preferences.

Unless forced to with Consumption control, Villagers will eat only their preferred Complex Food, which they gain Resolve from. If they are forced to eat a non-preffered Complex Food, they will not gain Resolve, but they will also not go hungry.

Services are another opportunity for Viceroys to boost Villager resolve. Services need both a Building and a Good to be used by Villagers. For example, if you have Scrolls in your Warehouse, you also need a Building like a Forum who can disperse these to your Villagers.

The Services need the following Goods to be fulfilled:

• Education: Scrolls
• Brawling: Training Gear
• Leisure: Ale
• Luxury: Wine
• Treatment: Tea
• Religion: Incense

Complex Housing Need

On the left, we can see:

1. The "Basic Shelter" need
2. The "Complex Housing" need

On the right we see when hovering over these icons, an expanded panel appears. This panel shows:

• How many Species Specific (Complex Housing) is available.
• How many are "affected" (or live in this housing).
• How many are "unaffected" (Homeless or living in Basic Shelters).
• The average amount of Resolve Villagers are gaining from living in these houses.
• The maximum amount of Resolve Villagers can gain if everyone lives in these houses.

Villagers can stay in Basic Shelters and Large Shelters, but they will prefer their own Species Specific housing. These are:

• Beaver Houses for Beavers
• Fox Houses for Foxes
• Harpy Houses for Harpies
• Human Houses for Humans
• Lizard Houses for Lizards

All Species Housing give +3 Resolve to each Villager affected.

Upgrading Houses

Each Species' Housing will give different bonus perks when upgraded, only one upgrade per level can be selected, these are:

Houses	Upgrades Level I	Cost	Upgrades Level II	Cost
Beaver Houses	+15% Movement Speed for Inhabitants. +1 Space for Another Inhabitant.	1 Pack of Building Materials	All Trade Routes are 5% faster for every Inhabitant. +1 Resolve to every Inhabitant.	5 Amber or 5 Pack of Trade Goods 2 Pack of Building Materials

3 / 5 Species use Coats to boost Resolve by +5, these are:

• Harpies
• Humans

New Coats will be used every time a Villager takes a break, much like Food.

List of services needs

The service needs of Foxes and Lizards were changed in version 1.4, so this section is now out-of-date. Please consider contributing by updating it!

Each service can satisfy more than one species. Correspondingly, each of the five species require different combinations of the possible services available. The following shows the relationships between service (and the service-related good) and species.

The service building is also listed for convenience.
