Founders' Fortune

Smart Settlers dedicate a lot of time to researching new technologies, thereby unlocking better equipment, new furniture and construction elements. If morale is low, additional funds can even buy a tiny bit of happiness! Set up your FarmFood matters. Play and make ModsSometimes there are mods that just give the game just the extra something you were looking for. When supplies dwindle and the freezing cold wind howls outside, it’s easy to lose hope. The little ones are the future of the village, so make sure they have a happy childhood and an adequate education – sometimes achieving both can be difficult. Some might even decide to start a family – and you’ll soon be welcoming new members to the group! There are dozens of construction and furniture elements that you can use to create the settlement you’ve always dreamed of! Select scholars carefully – if their personality doesn’t fit this type of work, they are not going to make a lot of progress. Be sure to stock up before winter hits and act quick when a swarm of hungry bugs descends upon your fields! Good food makes colonists happy, wrong food makes colonists sick, little food makes colonists slow, and no food makes colonists die. You take control and tell them to gather materials and build walls, floors and furniture. Happy villagers will receive a boost to their productivity – Unhappy villagers might throw a temper tantrum. Some Tikigoblins living there are not all that happy about your settling efforts and might pay you a visit to try to get you to stop. An infection might prove fatal to the strongest warrior and a plague can wipe out your entire settlement. But the world is full of dangers! Take Care Of Your Villagers The villagers are your top priority. Build walls and towers to ensure the security of your colony – that way, your enemies will have a difficult time trying to mess with you! Research TechnologiesBuilding your home is a long process and resources and manpower are not the only things you need. Protect Your OutpostYou are not alone in this new land you call ‘home’. Raise your Family Villagers go through a lot together, so they value their friendships very high. Try to keep production up so you’ll always have something to sell. Greet traveling traders and see if you can get a good deal on some ancient scrolls or buy additional food to prepare for winter. You are not limited to predefined buildings! Trade Goods and Get RichWord got around that your colony has started producing wares. Grow a variety of seasonal crops and set up a kitchen to make delicious meals. This is why Founders’ Fortune has a full ModKit with accompanying tutorials – so that modders have an easier time getting started. A mature colony needs to pay good salaries to keep everyone happy. At first, you simply need to provide them with food and shelter. Each villager reacts to events, happy or sad, and reflects that in their behavior. Survive WinterUse the time you have and make sure you have enough food stored away, for winter is coming. Train your colonists in the art of warfare and equip them with the best weapons and armor you have. Build Your Village When your colonists arrive, they have nothing but the clothes on their backs. Design your own houses and style them to your liking. Let’s hope you won’t have to halve rations – because that will make your colonists weak.
