Main Toolbar

The Main Toolbar is where the player will give most commands from.

As the game begins (i.e. after Game Creation is complete and the player clicks Start) most of the buttons will be present in a bar at the bottom left of the screen, a small number are added as progress is made and things unlock from the Ideas listing.

• Select: returns the cursor to default use
• Buildings: Brings up a secondary Toolbar with four Building options (Floors, Walls, Roofs, Other), each of those will bring up a third Toolbar
• Objects: Brings up a secondary Toolbar with various Object categories, most will be empty at game start.
• Planting: Brings up three options on a Sub Menu, inaccessible during Autumn / Winter as no planting is possible then.
• Jobs: Second level tool bar with 20 Jobs once all are discovered, only five are available at game start. Most unlock upon creation of a relevant Tool
• Stockpiles: Designate tiles on the Map to be used for Storage by the Clanfolk. Or anti-storage with the two Blockers.
• Zones: Create Work or Home Zones for the Clanfolk, greatly curtailing how much of the Map the will travel over.
• Inventory: Cycle through all Items of a particular type, allowing the player to find lost Bricks, Meat, etc. Also aides the player in adding to the top of screen Item listing.
• Task List: Shows the player all Jobs that the Clanfolk have on their to-do listing. Ordered by which are considered most important. The icon will have a number on it showing the total count of pending jobs.
• Ideas: Brings up an overlay screen showing the games equivalent of a tech tree. Discovered Ideas are shown in colour, nearly discovered Ideas are greyed out and can be hovered over to show what else needs done. Other Ideas will be shown as a grey padlock.
  Newly discovered ideas are shown in a column at left with a blue padlock on each.
• Skills: Brings up a table of all (non-Baby) Clanfolk in the colony, including Workers. Each Clanfellow can have their priorities altered individually. And the player can see where, for example, Cooking is for all Clanfolk, to try and ensure all job types will get done.
• Family Tree: Shows an up to date version of the Family Tree that was displayed during Game Creation, with current ages, marriages, new children, etc. Also displays Clan Chief information.
• Clans: Shows the player the Reputation their colony has with each of the four neighbouring Clans. And what that means for Visitor likelihood.
• Current Coin: Gives the current Colony wealth. N.B. No physical treasury exists on the Map

The version 17 update to the game has added another button. Expeditions allows the player to send one Clanfellow away for a small span of days to try and find new technology or for other purpose.
