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.
[[Buildings]] are your main way of meeting the [[Category:Needs]] of your [[Villagers]] by way of gathering, farming, production, housing, and consumption. They occupy map tiles, constrain the movement of Villagers, and offer a variety of capabilities to help your [[Settlement]] survive. Some Buildings have a limited distance within which they are effective, for example, for gathering Wood from trees.

Which Buildings you have available for construction is determined by which [[Blueprints]] you have in your settlement. During each mission, you can choose additional Blueprints by gaining Reputation, completing [[Orders]], buying from [[Trade|Traders]], and from [[Glade Event]] rewards. Once you gain a new Blueprint, you are allowed to build that Building as many times as you can afford—until you move on to the next settlement. You will then have different choices and rewards.

You can add more Blueprints to your Essential Buildings list by completing [[Smoldering City#Deeds | Deeds]] and buying upgrades in the [[Smoldering City#Upgrades | Smoldering City]].  Some upgrades in the Smoldering City also add Blueprints to your list of [[Embarking | Embarkation]] options.  You can learn about your starting list of Essential Buildings by playing the [[Tutorial]].  
Every Viceroy has a list of '''Essential Blueprints,''' and you will begin each settlement with all of those Blueprints, meaning those Buildings start unlocked.

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.
You can learn about your starting list of Essential Buildings and how to use those Buildings by playing the [[Tutorial Walkthrough|Tutorial]].


== Builders ==
== Construction ==


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.
To construct a Building, you must first have that Building's Blueprint. Then, you can see that Blueprint in the [[#Construction Toolbar|toolbar of icons at the bottom of the screen]]. Click to place the Blueprint on the map. If the Building will have a working range, a green circle will indicate that range. Red squares under the construction site indicate obstacles such as trees, roads, or other buildings.


== Construction Toolbar ==
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 construction is completed, you can move the construction site of most Buildings for free.

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:
 
# [[File:Construct Roads.png|x32px|Roads|link=]] [[Road]]s, which are not Buildings, but improve [[Villagers]]' ability to move between them
Buildings are constructed by selecting from the Blueprints in the construction toolbar. From left to write, the construction icons represent the following categories of Blueprints:
# [[File:Construct Camps.png|x32px|Camps|link=]] [[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]]

[[File:Hearth overlay.png|thumb|300px|Selecting the Ancient Hearth shows the range within which Housing must be placed to be functional.]]
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, [[Housing|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.

Most Industry Buildings do not show ranges. (The Mine is the exception, showing Resource icons.) Instead of a range, when placing one of these Buildings white lines will connect to nearby Buildings where Resources could be retrieved for the Recipes in the Building you are placing.

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 [[Camps|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.

[[File:Building_panel_example-tab_1.png|thumb|100px|The Building panel for a Weaver.]]
[[File:Building_panel_example-tab_1.png|thumb|100px|The Building panel for a Weaver.]]
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 ==
[[File:Building_panel_example-tab_1.png|thumb|200px]]
''See also: [[Recipes]]''


[[File:Tab-Recipes.png|48px]]
The Building panel contains information on a Building you have selected or placed for construction on the map. The contents vary widely depending on what kind of Building it is, but there are some common elements.


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.
The top-left corner contains any major interactions: moving the Building, if possible, and deactivating the Building to instantly remove any Workers.


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]] ({{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.
Leftmost on the panel are the worker slots. The main content of the panel is a few tabs with different information and interactive controls for the Building's functions. When you first open it, the first tab will show the Building's description, which would include a summary of its [[Recipes]] and any [[Specialization]].
 
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.

[[File:Worker_panel_example.png|thumb|300px|Example building panel showing 3 Workers with 3 different statuses.]]
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:
Most Buildings have space for two or more [[Villagers]] to work. On the Building panel, by clicking on slots, you can assign Villagers to work that Building or dismiss them to be builders for your settlement until they are reassigned.
 
Next to an assigned Worker's icon another small icon will appear that indicates the status of the Worker. They may be the following:
* [[File:Worker_transport_icon.png|x16px]] = walking to the Building
* [[File:Worker_transport_icon.png|x16px]] = walking to the Building
* [[File:Worker_production_icon.png|x16px]] = actively producing or gathering
* [[File:Worker_production_icon.png|x16px]] = actively producing or gathering
Line 88: Line 88:
* [[File:Worker_idle_icon.png|x16px]] = idling, unable to work
* [[File:Worker_idle_icon.png|x16px]] = 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.

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.
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 from the radial menu.


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|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 ====
==== 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|Warmth Specialization]].
Some Buildings have Specializations for some Workers that make those individual Villagers more comfortable, granting them a bonus to their [[Resolve]], or a bonus to production quantity or speed due to their proficiency.
 
Specializations are indicated with small, color-coded icons on the Building panel. 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. For that, you have to look at the Worker icon. A blue glowing aura indicates their comfort bonus; spinning wheel indicates their proficiency bonus. You can also tell from the tooltip on the [[Species]]; the first Specialization is always their proficiency bonus, the second is always their comfort bonus.
 
Besides being helpful passive bonus for your settlement, using Specializations at key moments can save your settlement from losing Villagers due to low Resolve. For example, a Building like the [[Cookhouse]] with 4 Worker slots and its '''Warmth''' Specialization can be used to boost the Resolve of four [[Lizard]]s!

[[File:Tab-Recipes.png|48px]]
 
On the Building Panel for Production Buildings, the first tab contains the Recipes that the Building can produce. For Buildings like Gathering Camps and Farms, there are no tabs on the panel. The Resources they can gather, the controls, and the Building's Internal Storage are shown together on the panel. Service Buildings also have Recipes on their first tab, and while they aren't the same kind of Recipes as Production Buildings that convert Resources into other Resources, they have similar controls.
 
In the list of Recipes, you can check or uncheck the Recipes you want the Workers to produce. By default when a Building is constructed, 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}}) if you have also built a [[Lumber Mill]] ({{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. (This can be changed in the [[Game Options]].) 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 when a production or storage reserve limit is reached.
 
On the right side of the Recipes list, you can set the production 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. Often, the deliveries to the [[Warehouse]] have not been made yet, a Worker starts another batch, and the limit is exceeded, so keep this in mind.
 
=== Second Tab: Storage ===

[[File:Tab-Storage.png|48px]]
[[File:Tab-Storage.png|48px]]


=== Produced Goods Storage ===
Most buildings have internal storage, where (a) ingredient [[Resources]] are brought from the Warehouse for use in the Building's Recipes and (b) gathered or produced Goods are kept until a batch can be taken to the [[Warehouse]]. The latter has limits, and Buildings' internal capacities can be increased by [[Perks]] and [[Upgrades]] in the [[Smoldering City]].
 
==== Produced Goods Storage ====
 
[[File:Worker panel example-just the storage.png|thumb|300px|The Internal Storage in a Woodcutters' Camp is almost full. It has 8 Wood and 6 Copper Ore that need to be delivered to a Warehouse.]]
 
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''' can be used before the Storage is full to force a Worker to stop producing and take Goods to the Warehouse. This is useful if you have Buildings awaiting construction or [[Glade Events]] that urgently need Resources.


[[File:Worker panel example-just the storage.png|thumb|300px|The internal Storage in a Woodcutters' Camp is almost full. It has 8 Wood and 6 Copper Ore that need to be delivered to a Warehouse.]]
==== Ingredients 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 [[Upgrades|Upgraded]] in the [[Smoldering City]].
[[File:Internal storage example.png|thumb|300px|The ingredients stored in an unoccupied Crude Workstation are being wasted. They are inaccessible to other Buildings that could use them.]]


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|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.
In another example, a [[Crude Workstation]] in a settlement still stands, but all its [[Recipes]] can be made with other, more efficient (higher-star) Buildings. However, this Building still has valuable ingredients stored that other Buildings cannot access. Clicking the red-and-white '''X''' button on the Resource icon instantly transfers these Goods back to the [[Warehouse]]. If you accidentally remove the wrong ingredient, a [[Worker]] will need to go pick the ingredient back up from the Warehouse before they can work on the Recipe.

In another example, a [[Crude Workstation]] has been replaced with Buildings with more efficient (higher-star) [[Recipes]].

Revision as of 04:24, 9 November 2023

This article was last updated during version 0.62.2. The game is now in 1.11.2. Some information may be out of date. Help us keep the wiki up to date by comparing this article against the patch notes and updating it.

Overview

Buildings are your main way of meeting the of your Villagers by way of gathering, farming, production, housing, and consumption. They occupy map tiles, constrain the movement of Villagers, and offer a variety of capabilities to help your Settlement survive. Some Buildings have a limited distance within which they are effective, for example, for gathering Wood from trees.

Blueprints

The Reputation icon shimmers when you can choose new Blueprints.

Which Buildings you have available for construction is determined by which Blueprints you have in your settlement. During each mission, you can choose additional Blueprints by gaining Reputation, completing Orders, buying from Traders, and from Glade Event rewards. Once you gain a new Blueprint, you are allowed to build that Building as many times as you can afford—until you move on to the next settlement. You will then have different choices and rewards.

Essential Blueprints

Every Viceroy has a list of Essential Blueprints, and you will begin each settlement with all of those Blueprints, meaning those Buildings start unlocked.

You can choose more Blueprints to be Essential by completing Deeds and buying upgrades in the Smoldering City. Some upgrades in the Smoldering City also add Blueprints to your list of choices when Embarking.

You can learn about your starting list of Essential Buildings and how to use those Buildings by playing the Tutorial.

Construction

To construct a Building, you must first have that Building's Blueprint. Then, you can see that Blueprint in the toolbar of icons at the bottom of the screen. Click to place the Blueprint on the map. If the Building will have a working range, a green circle will indicate that range. Red squares under the construction site indicate obstacles 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 construction is completed, you can move the construction site of most Buildings for free.

Builders

Buildings are constructed by Villagers that aren't assigned to work anywhere else. 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 building materials will never be delivered and construction will never finish.

Construction Toolbar

The construction toolbar at the bottom of the screen, also showing the tooltip over the second icon for Camps, which looks like a mushroom and leaf. Hold your mouse over an icon to see the tooltip.

Buildings are constructed by selecting from the Blueprints in the construction toolbar. From left to write, the construction icons represent the following categories of Blueprints:

  1. Roads Roads, which are not Buildings, but increase Villagers' speed walking across the map.
  2. Camps #Camps, which gather resources from special map tiles. You start most maps with the same 4 options: Woodcutters' Camp, Stonecutters' Camp, Harvesters' Camp, and the small gathering camps.
  3. Food Production #Food Production, for example for farming and cooking Complex Food.
  4. Housing #Housing, and you start every map with at least the option for the basic Shelter.
  5. Industry #Industry Buildings], which produce Resources from other Resources with Recipes.
  6. City Buildings #City Buildings, which includes Hearths, Warehouses, and the Trading Post. This category will also contain Buildings that provide Services when you have earned their Blueprints.
  7. Decorations Decorations, which are 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

Selecting the Ancient Hearth shows the range within which Housing must be placed to be functional.

Depending on the Building you've chosen to build (or move), the game may reveal one or more special overlays, highlighting, or icons:

  • the range of the Hearth may be shown when placing another Hearth, housing Buildings, or Decorations
  • the range of gathering when placing a camp or a farm
  • highlighting of tiles that contain Fertile Soil when placing farms
  • icons of nearby Resources on map tiles when placing gathering camps and mines
  • highlighting of Trees that have been marked for cutting when placing a Woodcutters' Camp

Most Industry Buildings do not show ranges. (The Mine is the exception, showing Resource icons.) Instead of a range, when placing one of these Buildings white lines will connect to nearby Buildings where Resources could be retrieved for the Recipes in the Building you are placing.

Moving a Building

This camp is a moveable Building.

Move button

After construction finishes, 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 Woodcutters' 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 for a Weaver.

The Building panel contains information on a Building you have selected or placed for construction on the map. The contents vary widely depending on what kind of Building it is, but there are some common elements.

The top-left corner contains any major interactions: moving the Building, if possible, and deactivating the Building to instantly remove any Workers.

Leftmost on the panel are the worker slots. The main content of the panel is a few tabs with different information and interactive controls for the Building's functions. When you first open it, the first tab will show the Building's description, which would include a summary of its Recipes and any Specialization.

Workers

Example building panel showing 3 Workers with 3 different statuses.

Most Buildings have space for two or more Villagers to work. On the Building panel, by clicking on slots, you can assign Villagers to work that Building or dismiss them to be builders for your settlement until they are reassigned.

Next to an assigned Worker's icon another 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), if production limits have been reached, 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 from the radial menu.

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 have Specializations for some Workers that make those individual Villagers more comfortable, granting them a bonus to their Resolve, or a bonus to production quantity or speed due to their proficiency.

Specializations are indicated with small, color-coded icons on the Building panel. 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. For that, you have to look at the Worker icon. A blue glowing aura indicates their comfort bonus; spinning wheel indicates their proficiency bonus. You can also tell from the tooltip on the Species; the first Specialization is always their proficiency bonus, the second is always their comfort bonus.

Besides being helpful passive bonus for your settlement, using Specializations at key moments can save your settlement from losing Villagers due to low Resolve. For example, a Building like the Cookhouse with 4 Worker slots and its Warmth Specialization can be used to boost the Resolve of four Lizards!

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 Gathering Camps and Farms, there are no tabs on the panel. The Resources they can gather, the controls, and the Building's Internal Storage are shown together on the panel. Service Buildings also have Recipes on their first tab, and while they aren't the same kind of Recipes as Production Buildings that convert Resources into other Resources, they have similar controls.

In the list of Recipes, you can check or uncheck the Recipes you want the Workers to produce. By default when a Building is constructed, 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 (Template:0star) if you have also 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. (This can be changed in the Game Options.) 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 when a production or storage reserve limit is reached.

On the right side of the Recipes list, you can set the production 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. Often, the deliveries to the Warehouse have not been made yet, a Worker starts another batch, and the limit is exceeded, so keep this in mind.

Second Tab: Storage

The Weaver's panel shows ingredients ready to be used and storage of goods the Workers have produced.

Most buildings have internal storage, where (a) ingredient Resources are brought from the Warehouse for use in the Building's Recipes and (b) gathered or produced Goods are kept until a batch can be taken to the Warehouse. The latter has limits, and Buildings' internal capacities can be increased by Perks and Upgrades in the Smoldering City.

Produced Goods Storage

The Internal Storage in a Woodcutters' Camp is almost full. It has 8 Wood and 6 Copper Ore that need to be delivered to a Warehouse.

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 can be used before the Storage is full to force a Worker to stop producing and take Goods to the Warehouse. This is useful if you have Buildings awaiting construction or Glade Events that urgently need Resources.

Ingredients Storage

The ingredients stored in an unoccupied Crude Workstation are being wasted. They are inaccessible to other Buildings that could use them.

In another example, a Crude Workstation in a settlement still stands, but all its Recipes can be made with other, more efficient (higher-star) Buildings. However, this Building still has valuable ingredients stored that other Buildings cannot access. Clicking the red-and-white X button on the Resource icon instantly transfers these Goods back to the Warehouse. If you accidentally remove the wrong ingredient, a Worker will need to go pick the ingredient back up from the Warehouse before they can work on the Recipe.

Resource Gathering

Resource Gathering

Resource Gathering buildings are starting points for your settlement to go out into the wild to gather Resources from the map. For Woodcutters' Camps, Gathering Camps, and Fishing Huts, the construction menu will highlight their range and show icons for the resource deposits or trees from which the Camp can gather. All Camps and Fishing Huts 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 can gather from both small and large resource nodes.

The Rain Collector and Advanced Rain Collector can be placed freely. It is recommended to place these buildings close to a Hearth since rainwater gathered in these building do not need to be transported to the warehouse. The Clay Pit, Geyser Pump, and Mine must be placed on fertile soil, a rainwater geyser, and ore deposit(s), respectively. The Forester's Hut functions as a farm building, so it requires nearby Farm Fields for planting and harvesting.

Food Production

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. Note: The Greenhouse can only be constructed on top of a 2x2 plot of Fertile Soil.

Housing

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.

City Buildings

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.
