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

Main article: Housing Need









On the left, we can see:

  1. The "Basic Shelter" need
  2. The "Complex Housing" need

On the right we see when hovering over these icons, an expanded panel appears. This panel shows:

  • How many Species Specific (Complex Housing) is available.
  • How many are "affected" (or live in this housing).
  • How many are "unaffected" (Homeless or living in Basic Shelters).
  • The average amount of Resolve Villagers are gaining from living in these houses.
  • The maximum amount of Resolve Villagers can gain if everyone lives in these houses.

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

All Species Housing give +3 Resolve to each Villager affected, except for Fox Houses, which give +4 Resolve.

Each Species' Housing will give different bonus perks when upgraded, only one upgrade per level can be selected, these are:
