The newly established village in Manor Lords must face many problems. Probably one of the first ones you will come across will be supplies left on the ground, which may be destroyed over time due to bad weather. On this page, we will tell you which buildings are suitable for storing specific resources and how to force settlers to use them.
How to build a Storehouse and Granary?
When you start playing a new scenario in Manor Lords, you get some initial resources that will allow you to prepare the basic infrastructure. However, the game will inform you quite quickly with a special alert that materials and food left in the open will quickly begin to deteriorate. You will need to build appropriate structures to store them.
- The first building you should create is the granary. Its construction costs only 2 units of wood and 10 stone. Settlers assigned to work in the granary will collect food from various buildings in the village and store it here. If necessary, they will also distribute food to residents and sell it at the marketplace. The granary can be found in the "Construction" menu, in the "Logistics" tab.
- Storehouse is an equally important element of the village's infrastructure. It costs only 2 units of wood to build. You will also find it in the "Logistics" tab. The warehouse will store various resources, such as construction materials (wood and stone), tools and semi-finished products such as animal skins. The family assigned to the warehouse will also be able to set up a stall at the market, from where the stored goods will be distributed to the rest of the residents.
How to manage warehouses?
As with other buildings, a family must be assigned to them in order for the granary and storehouse to fulfill their role. You can do this by selecting the building and clicking "+" in the "General" tab. The assigned family will get to work, collecting any exposed goods from the ground and then moving resources from other buildings.
If you have several warehouses in your settlement and you would like each of them to store only a specific type of goods, you can set what should be brought to a specific building. Click on the selected building and in the "advanced" tab you will decide what should be stored there. If you want to centralize the operation of the warehouse even more, in this window you can also limit the space around the building from which goods are to be collected.
The basic storehouse has 250 slots in the main warehouse, and the pantry in the granary can hold 500 units of food. If you start running out of space, you can decide to build more buildings or improve existing ones:
- upgrading to a large granary requires 5 units of wood, 10 boards and 5 stones, but will allow you to store 5 times more food (2,500 units) ;
- large storehouse requires 5 units of wood and 10 boards, but the capacity of the general warehouse will increase by as much as 10 times (2,500 units).
