Ruins in a Glade

Overview

Ruins are buildings found in Glades which can be repaired, salvaged or cleansed. There are regular Ruins and haunted Ruins.

  • Repairing a building grants Viceroys access to the building and all its production outputs. Workers can be assigned and it functions as a normal building.
    • Viceroys usually do not gain the blueprint, so be careful, should you want to demolish it.
  • Salvaging a building will give some resources to Viceroys.
  • Cleansing a production building is much the same as repairing, except a cleansed building often has improved 3 ★★★ recipes.
  • Cleansed housing has 6 slots instead of 2.
  • Cleansed Service buildings have a powerful additional effect.

Constructed buildings can be turned into Ruins by the Lightning Catcher Glade Event and Devastation Forest Mystery.

Ruins map generation

Based on a sample of 1000 Dangerous Glades[1], the chance to find a Ruin, 3 Ruins, or a haunted Ruin in a Dangerous Glade is roughly between 50 and 56%.

You will never find a Ruin in a Scarlet Orchard Glade with one of the Excavation Sites or a Sealed Forest Glade with the Ancient Seal. They seem to take up the Ruin "slot" of the Glade they generate in.

Around 5% of all Dangerous Glades will generate with 3 Ruins. Around 10% of all Ruins found will be haunted. Glades with 3 Ruins may have more than 1 haunted Ruin.

Haunted Ruins

Haunted Druid's Hut

The list of possible haunted Ruins is quite limited compared to regular Ruins, which can be most buildings in the game. Cleansing a haunted Ruin requires 30 Incense Incense, Tea Tea, Oil Oil, Resin Resin, or Scrolls Scrolls, and imposes a working effect that lowers Global Resolve by 3 every 45 seconds. Alternatively, you can burn the Ruin down with 24 Planks Planks or 15 Oil Oil, 15 Sea Marrow Sea Marrow, 15 Coal Coal for a moderate amount of resources. Base solve time is 3 minutes and 50 seconds.

Haunted Ruins and cleansed buildings can be distinguished from their regular counterparts visually by the light blue aura they emanate. All Orders that require a specific building will accept its cleansed version.

You can find the list of all possible cleansed buildings below:

*Purified Housing has 6 Housing slots instead of the regular 2. In all other respects it is identical to regular Species Housing.
