Buildings
At the beginning of the game, you could only erect several basic buildings.
Development of your colony will let you access more.
When it comes to grasslands, these are best used if they are spotted withFarms.
Whenever you want to build one, check the entire area beforehand.
A well-located farm can provide64 food units.
Such method ensures maximum throughput and faster development.
Also, remember to useWarehouse, providing a bonus of +20% to production and storage space.
It is a good idea to build warehouses near farms and mines.
For more information on each building, seeList of buildings and statistics.
Around them, you’re free to build houses.
Then, build another Sawmill.
Untilday 5-6, you should have, at least, 2-3 sawmills, and aQuarry.
