22. Stonehearth

Help a small group of settlers survive in a hostile land. Establish a food supply, build shelter, defend your people and find a way to grow and expand in an epic fantasy setting.

To be able to craft in Stonehearth, you will need to promote one of your workers to a Carpenter. You can do this by heading over to the “Manage Citizen” button and picking one of the citizens to promote to the Carpenter job. Once you have assigned your citizen the Carpenter job, you will then need to build a Workshop, which you can do by heading back to the “Manage Citizen” button and clicking on the Carpenter’s name. A button labeled “Build Workshop” will pop up. Click the button and then click anywhere on the ground to build the Workshop. 

Promote a citizen to Footman if you need some defenses for your settlement.

After you’ve set up your Workshop, you can start placing some orders with the Carpenter to build what you want. Click on the Workshop and then click on the anvil in the bottom left corner of the screen. From here you can place orders and manage the current work queue for the crafter. On the left side of the screen is a list of all items that can be crafted. Items that the crafter is unable to craft are grayed out. This might mean that there are not enough resources or the crafter is not at the required level yet. The crafter can level up by gaining experience as they craft items or complete tasks. Once they have enough experience, they will level up and gain new abilities and recipes.
