'''Zones''' in ''[[Foundation]]'' are used to set a function to an area of varying size. They are a fundamental mechanic to control your village's growth as well as where certain villager actions take place. There are ten zones that can be painted as the village grows. Most of these zones can be accessed from the bottom tool bar by clicking on the paint brush icon. However, reforestation zones, crop fields and pastures have to be defined directly from the respective buildings window. Every building will get their unique zone this way. Many zones can overlap with each other; exceptions are the three building-defined zones as well as forbidden which overwrites all other zones. | '''Zones''' in ''[[Foundation]]'' are used to set a function to an area of varying size.

Residential zones are the only level of control provided for the placement of housing. As more villagers are promoted they will look for a suitable home and place the foundations for a new home within the zone if one is not available. | Residential zones are the only level of control provided for the placement of housing.

Unlike other zones that be painted from the zone UI, crop fields are painted by going in to the building and selecting the option to paint the field. Although they can overlap with other zones, crop fields for different buildings cannot overlap or merge, nor can a field painted for one building be used by another (even if it is of the same type as the field's parent). | Unlike other zones that be painted from the zone UI, crop fields are painted by going in to the building and selecting the option to paint the field.
