== Burgage Plots ==
Burgage plots are the primary buildings in Manor Lords. They are flexible plots, costing 2 Timber for each building that fits on the plot. Each Burgage Plot provides 1 Living Space. If they have some space sideways but not sufficient for another Burgage Plots then they can be expanded to grant another 1 Living Space at the cost of 2 Timber. New families will only join if there is unused Living Space and Approval is high enough. Burgage Plots cannot be moved.
Burgage Plots start at level 1. Upgrading them to level 2 costs 4 Timber and will generate 1 Regional Wealth per family per month. Upgrading them to level 3 costs 4 Timber, 8 Planks, 4 Roof Tiles and 25 Regional Wealth and will generate 2 Regional Wealth per family per month and increase Living Space by 1, or 2 for expanded ones.
If a Burgage Plot has enough space backwards it can support a Backyard Extension, which will add extra functionality to the building.
* At level 1 they can be extended with Vegetable Garden, Chicken Coop, Goat Shed, or Apple Orchard (requires Orchardry development branch)
* At level 2 all backyard extensions are unlocked.

Buildings will automatically snap to roads. This behavior can be disabled in the construction menu.

Some buildings have Flexible Borders, identified with a borders square in the construction menu. For those buildings, place 4 points to designate an area. The first two points mark the front of the building. While the lines are straight, they will curve alongside roads.

Some buildings allow villagers to use Handcarts to transport up to 10 goods at once. However, pulling a handcart off-road is extremely slow, so make sure to connect your buildings to Roads.

Once placed, each building can be given a different construction priority if it needs to be constructed before or after other buildings.

Many buildings can be upgraded to increase their functionality. Many upgrades require a certain development branch.

All buildings can be demolished, which will refund all construction resources.

Homeless People's Tents

When you begin the game you will start with Homeless People's Tents. They will disappear once all people are housed. Alternatively they can be upgraded for 1 Timber into a Worker Camp which will provide 5 Living Space.

Burgage Plots

Burgage plots are the primary buildings in Manor Lords. They are flexible plots, costing 2 Timber for each building that fits on the plot. Each Burgage Plot provides 1 Living Space. If they have some space sideways but not sufficient for another Burgage Plots then they can be expanded to grant another 1 Living Space at the cost of 2 Timber. New families will only join if there is unused Living Space and Approval is high enough. Burgage Plots cannot be moved.

Burgage Plots start at level 1. Upgrading them to level 2 costs 4 Timber and will generate 1 Regional Wealth per family per month. Upgrading them to level 3 costs 4 Timber, 8 Planks, 4 Roof Tiles and 25 Regional Wealth and will generate 2 Regional Wealth per family per month and increase Living Space by 1, or 2 for expanded ones.

If a Burgage Plot has enough space backwards it can support a Backyard Extension, which will add extra functionality to the building.

  • At level 1 they can be extended with Vegetable Garden, Chicken Coop, Goat Shed, or Apple Orchard (requires Orchardry development branch)
  • At level 2 all backyard extensions are unlocked.

Farming buildings

Farming buildings cannot be relocated.

Field Space to grow Wheat, Barley, Flax, or Fallow.
To employ peasants on the fields, you need to build a Farmhouse.
Larger fields are more effective but also take longer to plow by hand.
All crops reduce Fertility, which can be combated by rotating crops or growing Fallow for a year.
All fields can be given a priority, which determines they order they are worked on.
With the Fertilization development branch it can be upgraded with a fence for 5 Planks, which improves Fallow crop.
Farmhouse 3 Timber Used to employ families on the Field.
Farm workers plow the fields as soon as the Winter passes, but no later than November. Then they sow them.
Harvest happens around September. Then the crops are transported to the Farmhouse, and Wheat is turned to Grain.
Can store up to 1200 resources.
With the Heavy Plow development branch it can be upgraded with a plowing station for 1 Timber, which allows oxen to work here.
