Kinlaig in Need of Restoration There are two castles in Kinlaig. One is still standing proud at the shore, and the other one... well, it's not standing but lays in ruins. Whatever the history behind that situation is, it seemed that the town castle won the battle. But! You can do something, and help to restore the one on the hill. As one of the new construction projects, the castle grounds require you to deliver resources, so it may shine at the top of the hill in all its glory once again. It's a bit of a project and takes some time, but when it's done, you're rewarded by being allowed to crown yourself king (or queen) of this fine achievement of architecture. In case, historic structures to beautify the landscape and increase your prestige level are not your thing, you might want to invest your time and resources into something more productive: the windmill. Not only does it look nice, it becomes a functioning production point after completion. Meaning, the mill does some actual milling. Deliver your harvested grain to be processed and turned into flour, so it may become your starting point for a production chain.
New Products & Production Chains
Very Fishy... To build a castle or windmill, you require some resources. Especially wood, but the sawmill is hardly any news, and you might have visited in the past for other construction projects. That's why we added new places and products to the chains of production and construction. Now, there's also a quarry and a stonemason. Bricks won't do, so heavier stones are needed. And what's a castle without some fancy shingles on the roof, right?
But that's not all. With the new crop, onions, as well as the whole fishing endeavor, there are other new links in a production chain. Most prominently, the fish food factory. To produce fish food, you need vegetable oil (e.g. sunflower, olive, canola, or rice oil), plus wheat, and soybeans. Out comes the fish food. Learn more about that in our Fishing Preview. There are also a couple new selling stations in town. New Buildings & Decorations
How nice Apart from all the machines, tools, factories and production buildings, you get more options to beautify the environment. New buildings can be placed on your land. Want to create a nice, little community within Kinlaig, consisting of natural-looking log cabins and houses? Go ahead! A variety of decorative objects allows you to customize your backyard. Whether it's a pleasant and tidy, or a more busy one, adjacent to your tool sheds and garage. New trees, and bushes, and meadow types are also to be found in the construction menu. We know, some of you enjoy placing happy little trees and plants in the vicinity of your farmland - so go for it! We also placed more ourselves. Kinlaig will be lit with seasonal decoration, like Halloween and Christmas decorations.
