== | ==Resource Bundles== | ||
The construction process uses steps called resource bundles: a package of resources that must be completed in order to construct a specific stage of a building. Many early buildings will have a single bundle of all materials required for construction. | |||
More advanced buildings will have multiple resource bundles in the construction process. Although resources may be brought for any bundle in any order, construction work can only be completed in bundle order. Therefore if the resources for bundle 2 have been collected, but work on bundle 1 has not been completed, construction on bundle 2 cannot begin. Similarly, if resources for bundles 1 and 3 have been collected, but those of bundle 2 have not, then builders can only complete construction on bundle 1. | |||
Where multiple bundles use the same resource, resources brought to the site will be allocated in bundle order. | |||
== Individual Buildings == | |||
Most buildings in the game are individual buildings, which consist of only one part. They cannot be personalised in their design, and cannot be extended, improved or decorated. Many (but not all) early buildings, such as the [[Stonecutter Camp]] and the [[Sawmill]], are in this category. | Most buildings in the game are individual buildings, which consist of only one part.

These add-on parts cannot function without the main part of the building. Examples of buildings with add-ons are the [[Wheat Farm]], [[Stonemason Hut]] and [[Common Wares Workshop]]. | ||
== Modular Buildings == | |||
Modular buildings are buildings are highly adaptable buildings that can be extended as the village expands, to add more functions, extend capacity, or for aesthetics. | |||
The first two modular buildings are the Builder's Workshop (which can be extended with a [[Sculpture Workshop]] and a [[Stained Glass Workshop]]) and the [[Market]] (which can be extended with different types of Market Stall to meet different [[Needs]]). Large administrative buildings such as [[Church|churches]], [[Tavern|Taverns]], the [[Manor House]], the [[Monastery]] and the [[Keep]] are also modular; the player has a number of aesthetic options to choose from when building these buildings, and can add a number of sub-buildings, which allow sections of the same building to perform different functions. All modular buildings have one or more mandatory requirements that will prevent the building from functioning properly if not met. For instance, the [[Rustic Church]] must have a door, core building and bell tower in order to work properly. There are indicators on the building's menu during construction which show whether the mandatory requirements have been met. | |||
