Buildings

From Manor Lords Official Wiki

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.

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