Building Optimization

Learn how to optimize your buildings in Havendock! This guide covers animal buildings, crafting, decor, food production, and more to help you build the most efficient settlement.

Hey there! So you're looking to get your Havendock settlement running like a well-oiled machine, huh? That's awesome! Building optimization is key to making sure your settlers are happy, fed, and productive. Let's break down what you need to know about making your buildings work for you.

We'll cover everything from getting your animals housed and happy, to setting up efficient crafting stations, making your base look good with decor, and ensuring a steady food supply. Plus, we'll touch on those special buildings for oil, energy, and even magic, not to mention keeping your people content and exploring the underwater possibilities.

Quick Tips for Building
  • Getting Cotton: Need cotton? Set up scavenging tents and send your settlers out. Or, once your boat is upgraded, head to Moon Island. The trader near the dock sells cotton seeds, but you'll have to keep buying them as there's no other way to get more seeds.
  • Quick Building Interactions: Want to quickly move items into a farm or grab output from a cookhouse without opening the full menu? Try Shift+right-click to insert items and Ctrl+right-click to extract them. Super handy!
  • Getting Milk: To get milk, you'll need cows. Buy them from the farmer on Cow Island. Then, build Barns for them – these buildings will handle both the input (food for cows) and output (milk).
  • Ignore the Smelter Island (for now): See that desert island with a person stuck in a smelter? It's still being worked on by the devs, so don't worry about it for now.
