Hi Everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for your patience, the Industry & Infrastructure Update is out now on the main branch! Our last major update (War & Diplomacy) was focused on combat and interaction with the AI. For this update we’ve focused back on the city building and economy! It’s got a bunch of new stuff folks have been requesting. Let’s get right to the notes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large Treasure Room<\/strong> – Community Suggestion<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a 2×1 structure (shown on the right) that houses a bit more gold than two small treasure rooms. You can place them adjacent to small treasure rooms to make some creative building shapes (shown on the left).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large Produce Storage<\/strong> – Community Suggestion<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is another 2×1 structure, which can store more fruit than two small produce storages. This brings fruit storage closer to parity with the grain storage buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Large Iron Mine<\/strong> – Community Suggestion<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a 3×3 structure that sits completely on top of an iron deposit. It produces more iron than 3 small iron mines but requires more space and more workers. It’s ideal for later in the game when you’ve got more of a worker surplus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Large Quarry<\/strong> – Community Suggestion<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also a 3×3 structure you place on top of (rather than adjacent to) a stone deposit. It also produces more stone than 3 small quarries. While it produces more stone, the tradeoff is that is requires tools to operate. You’ll want to make sure you have a blacksmith and tool production chain established before building this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Large Charcoal Maker<\/strong> – Community Suggestion<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This 2×2 building produces more charcoal than 4 small charcoal makers but requires more workers. Great for later in the game when you need to be more space efficient but have plenty of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Large Reservoir<\/strong> – Community Suggestion<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a 2×2 reservoir with a much larger radius of effect as compared to the small reservoir. While more expensive than the small reservoir, it’s handy for serving lots of fountains around your city center at once or by irrigating a large swath of land for your farms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Large Tavern<\/strong> – Community Suggestion<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a 2×2 tavern. Great for dense cities to make your city center more lively and adds another way to meet your peasants’ need for good drink!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Chapel<\/strong> – Community Suggestion<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to break of the trend of larger versions of everything, we’ve got a small church – the chapel! It’s a 1×2 building you can fit into the smaller spaces the normal 2×3 church is too big for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
