Construction
There are several types of buildings in the game, and each is connected to a different sphere of your Haven's life. They fall under the following categories: Naval, Command, Resources, Haven Improvements, Fortifications, and Smuggler's Den. Without some buildings basic player interactions such as war, trade, and exchanges between Shipmates are unavailable. You will need to research Discoveries and produce Resources in order to construct new buildings.
To construct a Building:
1. Go to your Haven.
2. Click "Construction" on the right-hand menu.
3. Choose the tab for the desired Building category (Defensive, Command, etc.).
4. Read the information regarding the cost and requirements for construction - many Buildings require a certain discovery or substantial upgrading of other Buildings before they can be built.
5. Click "Build", choose a place inside your Haven, and start construction.
Some Buildings can only be built on designated areas. For example, Fortifications can be constructed only on the Haven Beachhead sections.
The same goes for several of the defensive Improvements that can only be installed on the Fortifications.
Resource buildings manage different aspects of your resource production and storage. The more Resource buildings you have and the higher their level, the more Resources you can produce, accumulate and spend. You'll need Resources for Haven development and Unit production.

You will find several Stacks o' Lumber in your Haven at the beginning of the game. This is where you will collect Lumber (one of the three main Resources). You'll need Lumber to construct buildings, research Discoveries, and purchase new Units. To begin producing Lumber, build a Lumber Yard on a Stack o' Lumber. The number of Stacks o' Lumber is random for each Haven, so you may have to trade to meet your needs.
Lumber Yards are places where Lumber is produced.

You can build as many Lumber Yards as there are Stacks o'Lumber inside your Haven. Build the Sawmill to further increase Lumber production.
The Sawmill increases the total Lumber production of your Lumber Yards by 5% with each level upgrade. The maximum upgrade level is 5. You must discover «Manufacturing» and upgrade one Lumber Yard to level 10 before you can unlock the Sawmill. You can construct only one Sawmill inside your Haven.
