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:

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 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:

Complex Housing Need

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

  • All Species Housing give +3 Resolve to each Villager affected.
  • Houses can be Upgraded to earn +1 additional Resolve.

Clothing Need

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

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