Resources

Resources are the materials required to sustain and expand the village. Primarily acquired via villagers in their respective workplace, they can also be acquired via trading and Quests.

Overview

Resources can be split into the following categories: food, common goods, luxury goods, tavern goods, weapons and materials. The variety available and needed of each type increases with village growth; Newcomers and Serfs can be satisfied with a single food type and their buildings constructed with Wood and Stone. Once resources have been obtained, they must be stored in either a Granary (food-based goods) or a Warehouse.

The resources available to the village can be seen in the resources overview at the top of the screen. As more become available, the first two rows will fill with those resources marked as favourites by default. Players can see all resources by clicking the small plus at the center of the resource overview's bottom border. Favourites can be changed in the Resources page of the Book (F5) by clicking the star icon on the far left of each row.

Food

Food is a Need required by villagers of all types and ranks. Food types are usually stored in Granaries or Monastic Granges and acquired by villagers via the Market, Refectory or Mess Hall. Most food types allow villagers to fill their Rustic/Refined/Monastic Food Needs. The only exceptions to this are Tavern Meals, which are created and consumed within Taverns and provide a happiness bonus, and War Rations, which are created in the Provisioner and consumed by military companies on Tier 2 and 3 military quests.

Raw Materials

Raw Materials are resources that are used primarily by craftsmen to produce various refined goods or to construct buildings. They generally cannot be consumed directly by villagers, but there are some exceptions which are both directly consumed by villagers and used as raw materials by craftsmen.

Resource Tracking

The game offers several options for resource management.

In the resources panel, hovering the mouse over a resource causes a small info panel to appear which breaks down the total stock of that resource, showing the player how much of the total is in storage, in market stalls, in production buildings, and in transit. Furthermore, right-clicking on a resource in the panel marks the resource for tracking, which causes counters to appear above every building and villager that produces, stocks or transports the resource, showing how much that building or villager currently holds.

Left-clicking on a resource in the panel is a shortcut to the Resources page of the Royal Book, where players can see their total stocks of each resource, order the stockpiling, import or export of each resource, set favourites to appear in the resources panel and toggle tracking.
