Buildings
Buildings are your main way of meeting the Needs of your Villagers by way of gathering, farming, production, and consumption. They occupy map tiles, constrain the movement of Villagers, and offer a variety of capabilities to help your Settlement survive.
Blueprints
Which buildings you have available for construction is determined by your Blueprints. Every Viceroy has a list of Essential Buildings and you will begin each Settlement with all of those Blueprints. You can choose additional Blueprints by gaining Reputation, buying from Traders, and from Glade Event rewards.
Essential Buildings
You can add more Blueprints to your Essential Buildings list by completing Deeds and buying upgrades in the Smoldering City. Some upgrades in the Smoldering City also add Blueprints to your list of Embarkation options. You can learn about your starting list of Essential Buildings by playing the Tutorial.
Construction
To construct new buildings, you must first have that building's Blueprint. You can select from the available Blueprints using the menus at the bottom of the screen and click to place the construction site on the map. Red squares under the construction site indicate impediments to placement 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 any resources have been delivered, you can remove the construction site for free - but once resources have arrived, removing the construction site will only refund a partial amount of resources (just as for completed buildings). Construction sites for buildings which can be moved for free can also be freely moved, but construction sites for buildings with a move cost cannot.
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.
Construction Toolbar
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:
Roads, which are not Buildings, but improve Villagers' ability to move between them
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
Food Production, for example for farming and cooking Recipes
Housing, and you start every map with at least the option for the basic Shelter
Industry Buildings, which produce Resources, sometimes by themselves but usually with Recipes
City Buildings, which includes Hearths, Warehouses, and the Trading Post, but will also contain Buildings which provide Services when you have choose their Blueprints.
Decorations, which are also not Buildings, but 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
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, 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.
Moving a Building
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 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.
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.
Building Panel
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.
First Tab: Recipes
See also: Recipes
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.
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 (Template: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 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.
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.
Workers
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:
= walking to the Building
= actively producing or gathering
= moving goods from the Building to a Warehouse or vice versa
= resting at the Hearth
= 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.
Empty Worker Slots
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.
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 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
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 Specialization.

Second Tab: Storage
See also: Storage and Warehouse
Produced Goods Storage
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 Upgraded in the Smoldering City.
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 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.
Ingredients Storage
In another example, a Crude Workstation has been replaced with Buildings with more efficient (higher-star) Recipes. Clicking the red X icon on the Resource's icons instantly transfers these Resources back to the Warehouse. If you accidentally remove the wrong ingredient, a Worker will need to go pick the ingredients back up from the Warehouse before they can work on the Recipe.

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

Food Production
Food production Buildings include Farms and Buildings whose primary purpose is Recipes for food. Many of these buildings also produce non-food items from farming or include non-food Recipes. This may give you more options or less in choosing your Blueprints, depending on how strict your needs are.
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 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 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.
