Building buildings
« on: July 08, 2012, 10:04:45 am »
So I've only yet had time to dip into the latest beta and look around a bit, but I want to be ready for the official 1.2 release. Correct me if I'm wrong, but buildings of any sort are purchased for shards at the Opal stone, and then constructed via an interface on the World Map, or how does that work?

Right now, the "personality"/bonus buildings are still part of the settlement. The profession buildings and the farms are constructed on the world map, and will get bonuses if built on the right regions.

The scrolls required can be purchased for very large quantities of shards, or can be found in secret missions.

Right. Thanks! That was what I was wondering about.

As long as this topic is up...

Shouldn't the game start with like 3 or 4 food generation or a farm ? I just started a game on advanced and NPC are starving.

That's actually done on purpose, for mood reasons.  The starvation doesn't hurt anything except their ability to go on dispatch missions (which you aren't ready for right at the start of the game anyhow).  And these guys basically are just huddling in the wilderness near an Ilari stone, waiting for a glyphbearer to come help them out.  If you read the Story of Jinsiek And John it helps make some of that more clear.

But yeah, the NPCs are not in a happy place before you come along. :)

:-[ Poor NPC... starving in the cold...

Ok then. I haven't read the lore yet, I'm kinda advancing at a low pace.
