Services Needs

Overview

Services provide bonuses to Resolve and a +10% double production chance bonus per fulfilled service. The more Services you provide to your Villagers, the higher their Resolve will go. Viceroys need both a Service Building, and the goods to provide a Service in that building. For example, to provide Leisure Leisure, a Viceroy needs to build a Tavern and provide Ale Ale for the service need to be fulfilled.

Once the Commons have been unlocked in the Citadel Upgrade tree, you have the option to set up the Commons at the Hearth instead of or in addition to fulfilling Service needs in Service Buildings. Whenever a Service Good is available in your storage while the Commons have been set up, your villagers can fulfill their Service Needs during their breaks even when no appropriate Service Building is available. However, this method of fulfilling the Service Needs causes the Resolve bonus to be halved. If Service Goods are available at both a Service Building and in storage with Commons set up, the Service Building will take precedence to maximize the Resolve bonus.

Consumption and Satisfaction

Satisfying Services

To satisfy a Service Need, you need:

  • A Service Building + A Service Good + 1 Villager in the Service Building.

So, to satisfy the Leisure Leisure need, you need a Tavern, some Ale Ale and 1 Villager staffing the Building. The race of the Villager staffing the building does not matter, but some Villagers find Comfort in some Service Buildings, granting them +5 Resolve.

Service Building Blueprints can be purchased from Traders or rewarded for Reputation gain. You can also get a Service Building by repairing a Ruin or cleansing a Haunted Ruin. Service Goods can be purchased from Traders, found in Abandoned Caches, rewarded from Orders, and manufactured by Viceroys in the settlement.

Controlling Services

On the left, we can see:

  1. The Specialization or Comfort bonus workers get from working in this Building
  2. One worker is assigned. This is enough to enable the Service Need.
  3. Leisure Leisure is enabled in this building
  4. Luxury Luxury is disabled in this building
  5. We need 3 workers to gain the special effect this building provides. Hovering over this panel will tell you what the effect is.

Service Buildings and Unique Effects

Each Service Building has unique effects when staffed to specification. Services Need do not need to be enabled to gain these effects. For example, if you built a Monastery, but do not have Incense Incense or Ale Ale, the effect (-100 Hostility) will still become active if staffed to specifications. The Holy version of certain service buildings have an extra effect compared to the base version.

  • Academy Academy
    • 3 villagers assigned: +1 Global Resolve for every rebuilt / salvaged Ruin. Retroactive.

The Commons

As an alternative to supplying Service Goods through Service Buildings, you have the option to set up the Commons at your Hearth at the cost of 8 Planks Planks. With the Commons set up, all Service Needs can be fulfilled as long as the appropriate Service Goods are available in storage. Fulfilling Service Needs this way provides only half the normal Resolve bonus.


List of services needs

Each service can satisfy more than one species. Correspondingly, each of the seven species require different combinations of the possible services available. The following shows the relationships between service (and the service-related good) and species.
