Learn how to get clothes in Manor Lords! This guide covers setting up a Tailor's Workshop, gathering Linen and Dyes, and keeping your villagers happy and approved.
Alright, let's get your villagers looking sharp! Getting clothes in Manor Lords is pretty straightforward once you know the steps. You'll need a few key things to get started: a Level 2 Burgage Plot with an extension, access to Dyes, and Linen.
First things first, you need to build a Tailor's Workshop. This will set you back 5 Regional Wealth and 5 Planks. Once it's up, click on the Tailor building and head to the 'General' tab. Here, you can select 'Clothes' to start production. For now, ignore the 'Cloak' and 'Gambeson' options – we're focusing on basic clothes.
Now, for every piece of clothing your tailors make, you'll need 1 Linen and 1 Dye. You *can* buy clothes from the Market, but trust me, it's way more expensive than crafting them yourself. Becoming self-sufficient here is key not only for keeping your villagers happy and their Approval Rating high, but also for potentially selling extras later for a nice profit.
Getting Your Materials: Linen and Dyes
Let's break down how to get those essential materials:
Linen
To make Linen, you'll need two things: Flax and a Weaver Workshop. You can grow Flax yourself by building a Farm and using the in-game overlay to find good spots for it. Once your Farmers have produced Flax, you'll need to convert it into Linen at a Weaver Workshop. You can find this building in the 'Industry' crafting menu.
Dyes
Dyes are made from Berries. You can either buy Berries at a Trading Post or gather them using a Forager's Hut during the growing season. Keep in mind that Berries can be limited in each region, so you might need to buy more if you plan on making a lot of Dyes and still need them for food. If you find yourself needing a lot of berries, consider getting the 'Forest Management' development to double your harvest. Once you have spare berries, assign a worker to a Dyer's Workshop to convert them into Dyes. These Dyes are then used by the Tailor to craft clothes.
Other Sources and Market Stalls
It's also worth noting that Clothing Market Stalls are super useful. They trade raw resources and items related to clothing, which count towards your Approval Rating and help build a diverse economy. These stalls can stock:
- Clothes
- Cloaks
- Leather
- Linen
- Yarn
- Shoes
Remember, creating Linen at the Weaver's Workshop means the stall owners will sell that item, along with Yarn (also made at the Weaver's). Tanneries supply Leather for Shoes. The more variety of goods available on your markets, the happier your citizens will be!
That's the rundown on getting clothes in Manor Lords. Keep at it, and your settlement will be thriving in no time!
