== Blueprints & Construction ==
== Overview ==
 
[[Buildings]] are your main way of meeting the needs of your [[Villagers]] by way of gathering, farming, production, housing, and consumption. They occupy map tiles, constrain the movement of Villagers, and offer a variety of capabilities to help your settlement survive. Some Buildings have a limited distance within which they are effective, for example, for gathering {{rl|Wood}} from trees.
 
== Blueprints ==


[[File:Choose blueprint shimmer.png|x120px|thumb|The Reputation icon shimmers when you can choose new Blueprints.]]
[[File:Choose blueprint shimmer.png|x120px|thumb|The Reputation icon shimmers when you can choose new Blueprints.]]
Buildings require you to obtain their [[Blueprint]]. You start the game with a few Blueprints, which you learn about during the [[Tutorial]]. You can choose additional Blueprints by gaining Reputation, buying from [[Trade]]rs, and from [[Glade Event]] rewards. A small number of Blueprints are '''Essential,''' meaning they will always be unlocked at the beginning of each settlement. You can buy upgrades in the [[Smoldering City]] to add a few more Blueprints as Essential for every map (for example, [[Human House]], or be able to choose an Essential Blueprint when [[Embarking]].
Which Buildings you have available for construction is determined by which [[Blueprints]] you have in your settlement. During each mission, you can choose additional Blueprints by gaining Reputation, completing [[Orders]], buying from [[Traders]], and from [[Glade Event]] rewards. Once you gain a new Blueprint, you are allowed to build that Building as many times as you can afford—until you move on to the next settlement. You will then have different choices and rewards.
 
=== Essential Blueprints ===
 
Every Viceroy has a list of '''Essential Blueprints,''' and you will begin each settlement with all of those Blueprints, meaning those Buildings start unlocked.
 
You can choose more Blueprints to be '''Essential''' by completing [[Deeds]] and buying [[upgrades]] in the [[Smoldering City]]. Some upgrades in the Smoldering City also add Blueprints to your list of choices when [[Embarking]].
 
You can learn about your starting list of Essential Buildings and how to use those Buildings by playing the [[Tutorial Walkthrough|Tutorial]].
 
== Species Specific Buildings ==
Some Buildings will only appear in the Reputation Rewards Blueprint pool if certain Species are in the Settlement. These are:

== Construction ==
 
To construct a building, you must first have that building's Blueprint. Then, you can see that Blueprint in the [[#Construction Toolbar|toolbar of icons at the bottom of the screen]]. Click to place the Blueprint on the map. If the building will have a working range, a green circle will indicate that range. Red squares under the construction site indicate obstacles such as trees, roads, or other buildings.
 
Once the construction site for your building is placed, you can select a priority and view which resources have or have not yet been delivered to the site. Before construction is completed, you can move the construction site of most buildings for free.


=== Builders ===
=== Builders ===


Buildings are constructed by [[Villagers]] that aren't assigned to work anywhere else, and they become [[Builders]]. If you need a Building built quickly, you will need to dismiss several workers from their workplaces. If no Builders are available, a hammer icon will appear above all Buildings that are awaiting construction, letting you know that you need to dismiss a worker somewhere or the construction will never finish.

[[File:Buildings construction icons.png|thumb|500px|The construction toolbar at the bottom of the screen, also showing the tooltip over the second icon for Camps, which looks like a mushroom and leaf. Hold your mouse over an icon to see the tooltip.]]
Buildings are constructed by selecting from the options at the bottom of the screen and then clicking on the game map where you wish it to be placed. From left to write, the construction icons contain the following options:
 
# [[File:Construct Roads.png|x32px|Roads|link=]] [[Roads]], which are not Buildings, but improve [[Villagers]]' ability to move between them
Buildings are constructed by selecting from the Blueprints in the construction toolbar. From left to right, the construction icons represent the following categories of Blueprints:
# [[File:Construct Camps.png|x32px|Camps|link=]] [[Camps]], and you start most maps with the same 4 options: [[Woodcutters' Camp]], [[Stonecutters' Camp]], [[Harvesters' Camp]], and [[Scavengers' Camp]] before being able to choose more [[Blueprints]]
# [[File:Construct Roads.png|x32px|Roads|link=Roads]] [[Road]]s, which are not buildings per se, but built like them. They increase [[Villagers]]' speed walking across the map.
# [[File:Construct Food Production.png|x32px|Food Production|link=]] [[Food Production]], for example for farming and cooking [[Recipes]]
# [[File:Construct Camps.png|x32px|Camps|link=#Camps]] [[#Camps|Camps]], which gather resources from resource nodes. You start most maps with the same 5 options: [[Woodcutters' Camp]], [[Stonecutters' Camp]], [[Harvesters' Camp]], the small gathering camps and small fishing hut.
# [[File:Construct Housing.png|x32px|Housing|link=]] [[Housing]], and you start every map with at least the option for the basic [[Shelter]]
# [[File:Construct Food Production.png|x32px|Food Production|link=#Food_Production]] [[#Food Production|Food Production]], which farm resources from [[Resources#Farming|Fertile Soil]] and cook [[Complex Food Need|Complex Foods]].
# [[File:Construct Industry.png|x32px|Industry|link=]] [[Industry]] Buildings, which produce [[Resources]], sometimes by themselves but usually with [[Recipes]]
# [[File:Construct Housing.png|x32px|Housing|link=#Housing]] [[#Housing|Housing]], which fulfills Villagers' [[Housing Need]]s.
# [[File:Construct City Buildings.png|x32px|City Buildings|link=]] [[City Buildings]], which includes [[Hearths]], [[Warehouse]]s, and the [[Trading Post]], but will also contain Buildings which provide [[Services]] when you have choose their [[Blueprints]].
# [[File:Construct Industry.png|x32px|Industry|link=#Industry Buildings]] [[#Industry Buildings|Industry Buildings]], which produce [[Resources]] from other Resources with [[Recipes]].
# [[File:Construct Decorations.png|x32px|Decorations|link=]] [[Decorations]], which are also not Buildings, but used to upgrade [[Hearths]]
# [[File:Construct City Buildings.png|x32px|City Buildings|link=#City Buildings]] [[#City Buildings|City Buildings]], which include [[Hearths]], [[Warehouse]]s, and the [[Trading Post]]. This category will also contain buildings that provide [[Services]] when you have earned their [[Blueprints]].
Next to the construction toolbar are the buttons for marking trees (the axe icons). To the far right is the button for destroying Buildings, roads, or deposits.
# [[File:Construct Decorations.png|x32px|Decorations|link=Decorations]] [[Decorations]], which are used to upgrade [[Hearths]].
 
Next to the construction toolbar are the buttons for marking trees (the axe icons). To the far right is the button for destroying buildings, roads, or deposits.

[[File:Hearth overlay.png|thumb|300px|Selecting the Ancient Hearth shows the range within which Housing must be placed to be functional.]]
Depending on the Building you've chosen to build (or move), the game may reveal one or more special overlay areas, highlighting, or icons:
* the range of the [[Hearth]] may be shown when placing another Hearth, [[Housing|Houses]], or [[Decorations]]
* the range of gathering or farming when placing a [[Camp]] or Building that requires [[Fertile Soil]]
* highlighting of tiles that contain Fertile Soil when placing [[Farms]]
* icons of nearby relevant Resources when placing gathering Camps and [[Mines]]
* highlighting of [[Trees]] that have been marked for cutting in a different color when in range of the [[Woodcutters' Camp]]


Most [[Industry]] Buildings typically do not need to show any of these things. (The Mine is an exception). For example, when placing a [[Provisioner]], there are no overlays or icons shown.
Depending on the building you've chosen to build (or move), the game may reveal one or more special overlays, highlighting, or icons:
* the range of the [[Hearth]] may be shown when placing another Hearth, housing buildings, or [[Decorations]]
* the range of gathering when placing a camp or a farm
* highlighting of tiles that contain [[Fertile Soil]] when placing farms
* icons of nearby Resources on map tiles when placing gathering camps and mines
* highlighting of [[Trees]] that have been marked for cutting when placing a [[Woodcutters' Camp]]
 
Most industry buildings do not show ranges. (The Mine is the exception, showing Resource icons.) Instead of a range, when placing one of these buildings white lines will connect to nearby buildings where Resources could be retrieved for the Recipes in the building you are placing.
 
=== Moving a building ===
 
[[File:Moveable_building_from_construction_toolbar.png|thumb|100px|This camp is a moveable building.]]
[[File:Move_Icon.png|32px|Move button]]
 
After construction finishes, if a building may be moved the button to do so appears large, in blue, at the top left the Building Panel. Holding your mouse over the button will tell you whether the building may be moved for free, like a [[Woodcutters' Camp]]. Some buildings can be moved for a cost, like a {{bl|Plantation}} for 1 {{rl|Planks}}. Most buildings that produce goods using [[Recipes]] cannot be moved at all, and the icon will not appear on their building panel.
 
You can see before constructing a building whether it will be moveable. This appears on the same tooltip where you can preview the cost of the building before placing it for construction. In the screenshot to the right, notice the blue Move button on the building's picture in its construction tooltip.
 
For buildings that can be moved (especially for free), you can place the blueprint close to a warehouse for fast delivery of construction materials, then move it into a more appropriate place.

[[File:Building_panel_example-tab_1.png|thumb|100px|The Building panel for a Weaver.]]
[[File:Building_panel_example-tab_1.png|thumb|100px|The Building panel for a Weaver.]]
The Building panel contains information on a Building you have selected or placed for construction on the map. Counter-clockwise starting at the top of the panel, you can see four tabs, the [[Workers]], and the content of the tabs. The center-top of the panel, below the tabs, will show the Building's description, which typically includes a summary of its [[Recipes]] and any [[Specialization]].


=== Moving a Building ===
The Building panel contains information on a Building you have selected or placed for construction on the map. The contents vary widely depending on what kind of Building it is, but there are some common elements.


[[File:Moveable_building_from_construction_toolbar.png|thumb|100px|This Camp is a moveable Building.]]
The top-left corner contains any major interactions: moving the Building, if possible, and deactivating the Building to instantly remove any workers.
[[File:Move_Icon.png|32px|Move button]]


If a Building may be moved, the button to do so appears large, in blue, at the top left the Building panel. Holding your mouse over the button will tell you whether the Building may be moved for free, like a [[Camps|Camp]]. Some Buildings can be moved for a cost, like a [[Shelter]] for 5 [[Wood]]. Most Buildings that produce goods using [[Recipes]] cannot be moved at all, and the icon will not appear on their Building panel.
Leftmost on the panel are the worker slots. The main content of the panel is a few tabs with different information and interactive controls for the Building's functions. When you first open it, the first tab will show the Building's description, which would include a summary of its [[Recipes]] and any [[Specialization]].

[[File:Worker_panel_example.png|thumb|300px|Example building panel showing 3 Workers with 3 different statuses.]]
Most Buildings have space for two or more [[Villagers]] to work. On the Building panel, by clicking on slots, you can assign Villagers to work that Building or dismiss them to be builders for your settlement until they are reassigned.
Most Buildings have space for two or more [[Villager]] to work. Selecting a Building open its panel on the right side of your game window. There, you can assign or dismiss Villagers as [[Workers]].


Next to the Worker icon, like a [[Human]], a small icon will appear that indicates the status of the Worker. They may be the following:
Next to an assigned worker's icon another small icon will appear that indicates the status of the worker. They may be the following:
* [[File:Worker_transport_icon.png|x16px]] = walking to the Building
* [[File:Worker_transport_icon.png|x16px]] = walking to the Building
* [[File:Worker_production_icon.png|x16px]] = actively producing or gathering
* [[File:Worker_production_icon.png|x16px]] = actively producing or gathering
* [[File:Worker_storage_icon.png|x16px]] = moving goods from the Building to a [[Warehouse]] or vice versa
* [[File:Worker_storage_icon.png|x16px]] = moving goods from the Building to a [[Warehouse]] or vice versa
* [[File:Cup.png|x12px]] = walking to the Hearth for a [[break]]
* [[File:Worker_rest_icon.png|x16px]] = resting at the Hearth
* [[File:Worker_rest_icon.png|x16px]] = resting at the Hearth
* [[File:Worker_idle_icon.png|x16px]] = idling, unable to work
* [[File:Worker_idle_icon.png|x16px]] = idling, unable to work


If the worker is unable to work, then their icon will be an exclamation point. This occurs when there are no more Resources to work with (whether from the nearby map tiles or from the Warehouse) or if you must select one of the options of a [[Glade Event]] and press the '''Investigate''' button. The Building will also receive an exclamation point icon above it on the map view (even with the Building panel closed) to get your attention since an idling Worker may be wasting valuable time, however you are free to ignore these icons.

If a Building has space for more Workers, you click the black-and-white icon with a nondescript person and green plus sign to choose which [[Species]] to add.
If a Building has space for more workers, you click the black-and-white icon with a nondescript person and green plus sign to choose which [[Species]] to add from the radial menu.


There are noteworthy reasons to leave Worker slots empty in Buildings. For example, emptying the Woodcutters' Camps of all of their Workers just before the [[Storm]] can lower the [[Hostility]] of [[The Forest|the Forest]] enough so you don't lose any [[Villagers]] during the Storm due to low [[Resolve]]. Another example is if your settlement is producing a good more quickly than it is needed, removing a Worker will slow down the rate of production.

==== Specializations ====
==== Specializations ====


Some Buildings will indicate that there are Specializations available with small, color-coded icons. You can hold your mouse over these icons to see a tooltip that identifies the name of the Specialization. However, the name does not tell you which of the two types of Specializations it is. Specializations either grant bonus to [[Resolve]] or chance for double production. A Building like the [[Cookhouse]] with 4 Worker slots can be used to boost the Resolve of the [[Lizards]] by assigning four Lizards to it due to its [[Warmth|Warmth Specialization]].
[[File:Proficiency.png|border|right|300px]]
Some Buildings have Specializations for some workers that make those individual Villagers more comfortable, granting them a bonus to their [[Resolve]], or a bonus to production quantity or speed due to their proficiency.
 
[[File:Comfortable.png|border|right|300px]]
Specializations are indicated with small, color-coded icons on the Building panel. You can hold your mouse over these icons to see a tooltip that identifies the name of the Specialization and its type. Additionally, a blue glowing aura indicates workers' comfort bonus; spinning wheel indicates their proficiency bonus.
 
Besides being helpful passive bonus for your settlement, using Specializations at key moments can save your settlement from losing Villagers due to low Resolve. For example, a Building like the [[Cookhouse]] with 4 worker slots and its '''Warmth''' Specialization can be used to boost the Resolve of four {{Species link|Lizards}}!

On the Building Panel for production Buildings, the first tab contains the Recipes that the Building can produce. For Buildings like [[Camps]] and [[Farms]], there are no tabs and the Recipes and internal Storage are shown together.
On the Building Panel for Production Buildings, the first tab contains the Recipes that the Building can produce. For Buildings like Gathering Camps and Farms, there are no tabs on the panel. The Resources they can gather, the controls, and the Building's Internal Storage are shown together on the panel. Service Buildings also have Recipes on their first tab, and while they aren't the same kind of Recipes as Production Buildings that convert Resources into other Resources, they have similar controls.


In the list of Recipes, you can check or uncheck the Recipes you want the Workers to produce. By default, all Recipes are enabled. You may want to uncheck to disable Recipes that are lower efficiency than in other Buildings. For example, you may want to disable the Recipe for [[Planks]] in the [[Crude Workstation]] ({{0star]]) once you have built a [[Lumber Mill]] ({{3star}}), so you get the most efficient use of [[Wood]]. However, if your are in need of more Planks and you can afford to spend the extra Wood, it may be worth it to keep the Planks Recipe checked in the Crude Workstation.
In the list of Recipes, you can check or uncheck the Recipes you want the workers to produce. By default when a Building is constructed, all Recipes are enabled (can be adjusted in Game Options). You may want to uncheck to disable Recipes that are lower efficiency than in other Buildings. For example, you may want to disable the Recipe for {{rl|Planks}} in the {{bl|Crude Workstation}} ({{0Star}}) if you have also built a {{bl|Lumber Mill}} ({{3Star}}), so you get the most efficient use of {{rl|Wood}} . However, if your are in need of more Planks and you can afford to spend the extra Wood, it may be worth it to keep the Planks Recipe checked in the Crude Workstation.


In the list of Recipes, you can also click the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the priority of a Recipe. This will reorder the list, so the highest priority Recipes are on top. When a Recipe is prioritized in a Building, the Workers will spend all of their time making that Recipe. Once they are unable to produce more, they will move on to the next-lower priority Recipe. This may happen when the settlement runs out of the ingredient Resources or the Limit is reached.
In the list of Recipes, you can also click the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the priority of a Recipe. This will reorder the list, so the highest priority Recipes are on top (this can be changed in the Game Options.) When a Recipe is prioritized in a Building, the workers will spend all of their time making that Recipe. Once they are unable to produce more, they will move on to the next-lower priority Recipe. This may happen when the settlement runs out of the ingredient Resources or when a production or storage reserve limit is reached.
 
On the right side of the Recipes list, you can set the [[Limit]] of the Recipe. When the settlement has that number of that product Resource '''in the [[Warehouse]],''' then the Workers will not '''start''' producing more. Sometimes the deliveries to the [[Warehouse]] have not been made yet, so Workers may start another batch, and the Limit may be exceeded, so consider this as a soft target not a rigid constraint.


On the right side of the Recipes list, you can set the production limit of the Recipe. When the settlement has that number of that product Resource '''between that Building's internal storage and the [[Warehouse]],''' then the workers will not start producing more. Workers often start production at the same time, so keep this in mind when it's crucial to conserve input resources.

''See also: [[Storage]] and [[Warehouse]]''


[[File:Tab-Storage.png|48px]]
[[File:Tab-Storage.png|48px]]
Most buildings have internal storage, where (a) ingredient [[Resources]] are brought from the Warehouse for use in the Building's Recipes and (b) gathered or produced Goods are kept until a batch can be taken to the [[Warehouse]]. The latter has limits, and Buildings' internal capacities can be increased by [[Perks]] and [[Upgrades]] in the [[Smoldering City]].

[[File:Worker panel example-just the storage.png|thumb|300px|The internal Storage in a Woodcutters' Camp is almost full. It has 8 Wood and 6 Copper Ore that need to be delivered to a Warehouse.]]
[[File:Worker panel example-just the storage.png|thumb|300px|The Internal Storage in a Woodcutters' Camp is almost full. It has 8 Wood and 6 Copper Ore that need to be delivered to a Warehouse.]]


Most buildings have internal storage, where (a) gathered or produced [[Resources]] are kept until a batch can be taken to the [[Warehouse]] or (b) input Resources are brought from the Warehouse for processing. The capacity of this Storage can be increased by [[Perks]] and [[Upgrades|Upgraded]] in the [[Smoldering City]].
In the example screenshot, a {{bl|Woodcutters' Camp}} has an internal Storage capacity of 15. It is holding 8 {{rl|Wood}} and 6 {{rl|Copper Ore}} that are awaiting delivery to the closest Warehouse. The blue button to '''Force delivery now''' can be used before the Storage is full to force a worker to stop producing and take Goods to the Warehouse. This is useful if you have Buildings awaiting construction or [[Glade Events]] that urgently need Resources.
 
In the example screenshot, a [[Woodcutters' Camp]] has an internal Storage capacity of 15. It is holding 8 [[Wood]] and 6 [[Copper Ore]] that are awaiting delivery to the closest Warehouse. The blue button to '''Force delivery now''' is dimmed because a [[Worker]] is on their way back to the Camp to deliver these goods. Pressing this button when the Storage is not full will force a Worker to take the goods to the Warehouse before it is full (and possibly before their own [[Carrying|Carrying Capacity]] would be most efficiently used). This is useful if you have Buildings awaiting construction or Glade Events that need Resources as soon as possible.

Overview

Buildings are your main way of meeting the needs of your Villagers by way of gathering, farming, production, housing, and consumption. They occupy map tiles, constrain the movement of Villagers, and offer a variety of capabilities to help your settlement survive. Some Buildings have a limited distance within which they are effective, for example, for gathering Wood Wood from trees.

Blueprints

The Reputation icon shimmers when you can choose new Blueprints.

Which Buildings you have available for construction is determined by which Blueprints you have in your settlement. During each mission, you can choose additional Blueprints by gaining Reputation, completing Orders, buying from Traders, and from Glade Event rewards. Once you gain a new Blueprint, you are allowed to build that Building as many times as you can afford—until you move on to the next settlement. You will then have different choices and rewards.

Essential Blueprints

Every Viceroy has a list of Essential Blueprints, and you will begin each settlement with all of those Blueprints, meaning those Buildings start unlocked.

You can choose more Blueprints to be Essential by completing Deeds and buying upgrades in the Smoldering City. Some upgrades in the Smoldering City also add Blueprints to your list of choices when Embarking.

You can learn about your starting list of Essential Buildings and how to use those Buildings by playing the Tutorial.

Species Specific Buildings

Some Buildings will only appear in the Reputation Rewards Blueprint pool if certain Species are in the Settlement. These are:

Races Buildings
Beavers Beavers Cellar Cellar Guild House Guild House Scribe Scribe
Foxes Foxes Beanery Beanery Tea Doctor Tea Doctor Teahouse Teahouse
Frogs Frogs Cannery Cannery Forum Forum Pantry Pantry
Harpies Harpies Apothecary Apothecary Artisan Artisan Bath House Bath House
Humans Humans Brewery Brewery Brick Oven Brick Oven Monastery Monastery
Lizards Lizards Butcher Butcher Clan Hall Clan Hall Leatherworker Leatherworker

Construction

To construct a building, you must first have that building's Blueprint. Then, you can see that Blueprint in the toolbar of icons at the bottom of the screen. Click to place the Blueprint on the map. If the building will have a working range, a green circle will indicate that range. Red squares under the construction site indicate obstacles such as trees, roads, or other buildings.

Once the construction site for your building is placed, you can select a priority and view which resources have or have not yet been delivered to the site. Before construction is completed, you can move the construction site of most buildings for free.

Builders

Buildings are constructed by Villagers that aren't assigned to work anywhere else. If you need a building built quickly, you will need to dismiss several workers from their workplaces. If no Builders are available, a hammer icon will appear above all buildings that are awaiting construction, letting you know that you need to dismiss a worker somewhere or the building materials will never be delivered and construction will never finish.

Construction Toolbar

The construction toolbar at the bottom of the screen, also showing the tooltip over the second icon for Camps, which looks like a mushroom and leaf. Hold your mouse over an icon to see the tooltip.

Buildings are constructed by selecting from the Blueprints in the construction toolbar. From left to right, the construction icons represent the following categories of Blueprints:

  1. Roads Roads, which are not buildings per se, but built like them. They increase Villagers' speed walking across the map.
  2. Camps Camps, which gather resources from resource nodes. You start most maps with the same 5 options: Woodcutters' Camp, Stonecutters' Camp, Harvesters' Camp, the small gathering camps and small fishing hut.
  3. Food Production Food Production, which farm resources from Fertile Soil and cook Complex Foods.
  4. Housing Housing, which fulfills Villagers' Housing Needs.
  5. Industry Industry Buildings, which produce Resources from other Resources with Recipes.
  6. City Buildings City Buildings, which include Hearths, Warehouses, and the Trading Post. This category will also contain buildings that provide Services when you have earned their Blueprints.
  7. Decorations Decorations, which are used to upgrade Hearths.

Next to the construction toolbar are the buttons for marking trees (the axe icons). To the far right is the button for destroying buildings, roads, or deposits.

Range

Selecting the Ancient Hearth shows the range within which Housing must be placed to be functional.

Depending on the building you've chosen to build (or move), the game may reveal one or more special overlays, highlighting, or icons:

  • the range of the Hearth may be shown when placing another Hearth, housing buildings, or Decorations
  • the range of gathering when placing a camp or a farm
  • highlighting of tiles that contain Fertile Soil when placing farms
  • icons of nearby Resources on map tiles when placing gathering camps and mines
  • highlighting of Trees that have been marked for cutting when placing a Woodcutters' Camp

Most industry buildings do not show ranges. (The Mine is the exception, showing Resource icons.) Instead of a range, when placing one of these buildings white lines will connect to nearby buildings where Resources could be retrieved for the Recipes in the building you are placing.

Moving a building

This camp is a moveable building.

Move button

After construction finishes, if a building may be moved the button to do so appears large, in blue, at the top left the Building Panel. Holding your mouse over the button will tell you whether the building may be moved for free, like a Woodcutters' Camp. Some buildings can be moved for a cost, like a Plantation for 1 Planks Planks. Most buildings that produce goods using Recipes cannot be moved at all, and the icon will not appear on their building panel.

You can see before constructing a building whether it will be moveable. This appears on the same tooltip where you can preview the cost of the building before placing it for construction. In the screenshot to the right, notice the blue Move button on the building's picture in its construction tooltip.

For buildings that can be moved (especially for free), you can place the blueprint close to a warehouse for fast delivery of construction materials, then move it into a more appropriate place.

Building Panel

The Building panel for a Weaver.

The Building panel contains information on a Building you have selected or placed for construction on the map. The contents vary widely depending on what kind of Building it is, but there are some common elements.

The top-left corner contains any major interactions: moving the Building, if possible, and deactivating the Building to instantly remove any workers.

Leftmost on the panel are the worker slots. The main content of the panel is a few tabs with different information and interactive controls for the Building's functions. When you first open it, the first tab will show the Building's description, which would include a summary of its Recipes and any Specialization.

Workers

Example building panel showing 3 workers with 3 different statuses.

Most Buildings have space for two or more Villagers to work. On the Building panel, by clicking on slots, you can assign Villagers to work that Building or dismiss them to be builders for your settlement until they are reassigned.

Next to an assigned worker's icon another small icon will appear that indicates the status of the worker. They may be the following:

  • Worker transport icon.png = walking to the Building
  • Worker production icon.png = actively producing or gathering
  • Worker storage icon.png = moving goods from the Building to a Warehouse or vice versa
  • Cup.png = walking to the Hearth for a break
  • Worker rest icon.png = resting at the Hearth
  • Worker idle icon.png = idling, unable to work

If the worker is unable to work, then their icon will be an exclamation point. This occurs when there are no more Resources to work with (whether from the nearby map tiles or from the Warehouse), if production limits have been reached, or if you must select one of the options of a Glade Event and press the Investigate button. The Building will also receive an exclamation point icon above it on the map view (even with the Building panel closed) to get your attention since an idling worker may be wasting valuable time, however you are free to ignore these icons.

Empty Worker Slots

Worker Circle Widget.png

If a Building has space for more workers, you click the black-and-white icon with a nondescript person and green plus sign to choose which Species to add from the radial menu.

There are noteworthy reasons to leave worker slots empty in Buildings. For example, emptying the Woodcutters' Camps of all of their workers just before the Storm can lower Hostility enough so you don't lose any Villagers during the Storm due to low Resolve. Another example is if your settlement is producing a good more quickly than it is needed, removing a worker will slow down the rate of production.

Specializations

Proficiency.png

Some Buildings have Specializations for some workers that make those individual Villagers more comfortable, granting them a bonus to their Resolve, or a bonus to production quantity or speed due to their proficiency.

Comfortable.png

Specializations are indicated with small, color-coded icons on the Building panel. You can hold your mouse over these icons to see a tooltip that identifies the name of the Specialization and its type. Additionally, a blue glowing aura indicates workers' comfort bonus; spinning wheel indicates their proficiency bonus.

Besides being helpful passive bonus for your settlement, using Specializations at key moments can save your settlement from losing Villagers due to low Resolve. For example, a Building like the Cookhouse with 4 worker slots and its Warmth Specialization can be used to boost the Resolve of four Lizards Lizards!

First Tab: Recipes

Building panel example-tab 1.png

See also: Recipes

Tab-Recipes.png

On the Building Panel for Production Buildings, the first tab contains the Recipes that the Building can produce. For Buildings like Gathering Camps and Farms, there are no tabs on the panel. The Resources they can gather, the controls, and the Building's Internal Storage are shown together on the panel. Service Buildings also have Recipes on their first tab, and while they aren't the same kind of Recipes as Production Buildings that convert Resources into other Resources, they have similar controls.

In the list of Recipes, you can check or uncheck the Recipes you want the workers to produce. By default when a Building is constructed, all Recipes are enabled (can be adjusted in Game Options). You may want to uncheck to disable Recipes that are lower efficiency than in other Buildings. For example, you may want to disable the Recipe for Planks Planks in the Crude Workstation (☆) if you have also built a Lumber Mill (★★★), so you get the most efficient use of Wood Wood . However, if your are in need of more Planks and you can afford to spend the extra Wood, it may be worth it to keep the Planks Recipe checked in the Crude Workstation.

In the list of Recipes, you can also click the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the priority of a Recipe. This will reorder the list, so the highest priority Recipes are on top (this can be changed in the Game Options.) When a Recipe is prioritized in a Building, the workers will spend all of their time making that Recipe. Once they are unable to produce more, they will move on to the next-lower priority Recipe. This may happen when the settlement runs out of the ingredient Resources or when a production or storage reserve limit is reached.

On the right side of the Recipes list, you can set the production limit of the Recipe. When the settlement has that number of that product Resource between that Building's internal storage and the Warehouse, then the workers will not start producing more. Workers often start production at the same time, so keep this in mind when it's crucial to conserve input resources.

Second Tab: Storage

The Weaver's panel shows ingredients ready to be used and storage of goods the workers have produced.

Tab-Storage.png

Most buildings have internal storage, where (a) ingredient Resources are brought from the Warehouse for use in the Building's Recipes and (b) gathered or produced Goods are kept until a batch can be taken to the Warehouse. The latter has limits, and Buildings' internal capacities can be increased by Perks and Upgrades in the Smoldering City.

Produced Goods Storage

The Internal Storage in a Woodcutters' Camp is almost full. It has 8 Wood and 6 Copper Ore that need to be delivered to a Warehouse.

In the example screenshot, a Woodcutters' Camp has an internal Storage capacity of 15. It is holding 8 Wood Wood and 6 Copper Ore Copper Ore that are awaiting delivery to the closest Warehouse. The blue button to Force delivery now can be used before the Storage is full to force a worker to stop producing and take Goods to the Warehouse. This is useful if you have Buildings awaiting construction or Glade Events that urgently need Resources.

Ingredients Storage

The ingredients stored in an unoccupied Crude Workstation are being wasted. They are inaccessible to other Buildings that could use them.

In another example, a Crude Workstation in a settlement still stands, but all its Recipes can be made with other, more efficient (higher-star) Buildings. However, this Building still has valuable ingredients stored that other Buildings cannot access. Clicking the red-and-white X button on the Resource icon instantly transfers these Goods back to the Warehouse. If you accidentally remove the wrong ingredient, a worker will need to go pick the ingredient back up from the Warehouse before they can work on the Recipe.

Camps

Camps

Camps are starting points for your settlement to go out into the wild to gather Resources from the map in a small area around them. Selecting a Camp from the construction menu will highlight their range and show icons for the resource deposits or trees from which the Camp can gather. All Camps can be moved for free.

Some of the Camps have smaller and larger versions. If the Camp you have when you start a map is named "Small," then you can upgrade it by unlocking the Blueprint for the larger version. Small camps can only gather from small resource nodes; the regular camps

Housing

Housing

Housing Buildings must be constructed within range of a Hearth to work. These buildings satisfy villagers' need for shelter. Certain Housing Building also satisfy villagers' need for their species-specific housing. These have fewer places for residents and require that you unlock their Blueprints.

Industry Buildings

Industry

Industry Buildings produce intermediate crafting and building materials, trade goods, and the finished goods used for Services and other effects. Most of these buildings require you to unlock their Blueprints before you can place them. The four that you start with are listed first in the table.

City Buildings

City Buildings

City Buildings include buildings that provide Services and passive effects and the buildings that everyone starts out being able to access that provide essential settlement functions of Hearths, Warehouses, and Trade. Services Buildings can be quite expensive to build, costing upwards of several dozen building materials. The Blight Post and Forsaken Altar become available at different Difficulty levels: Veteran and Prestige 1, respectively.
