How it's done (2)

Buildings are a core element of Foundation. To meet the medieval town inhabitants' needs, players must unlock and build new buildings. Players place construction sites by choosing from the 'Build Public Buildings' menu in the top right corner. All buildings require builders to build them.

Houses will be placed automatically by homeless villagers that are serfs or above, after unlocking and painting a Residential Area. They will also automatically be upgraded in level or density based on necessity and availability of resources. Most buildings have a  Maintenance Cost once completed.

NOTE: When building over trees the trees will be cut down but will not be collected as a resource.
