Building Types

🏗️ Building Types in Townies

Every building in Townies plays a vital role in your resource economy, from early-game scaling to on-chain reward generation. Understanding how each structure functions — and how they synergize — is the key to building a thriving city.

🏘️ House

Your foundation. Converts Wood into Stone — and momentum.

• Requires: Wood

• Generates: Stone

• Upgrades: 3 levels (↑ Stone yield)

• Role: Entry-level structure; unlocks early infrastructure

Houses are your first active producers. Build many early to supply the Stone needed for mid-tier buildings like Forges and Churches.

🔥 Forge

Turns Stone into Iron. The forge burns at the heart of your economy.

• Requires: Wood + Stone

• Generates: Iron

• Upgrades: 3 levels (↑ Iron yield)

• Role: Core generator for Iron; enables late-game expansion

Forges convert your Stone surplus into Iron — a critical resource for Castles, upgrades, and repairs. Forge output is boosted by nearby Churches.

⛪ Church

Divine synergy. Produces $cGOLD and blesses your Forges.

• Requires: Wood + Stone + Iron

• Generates: $cGOLD (soft-currency)

• Effect: Boosts global Iron production from 1.0× to 1.4×

• Upgrades: 3 levels (↑ $cGOLD yield + Iron multiplier)

• Role: Strategic multiplier; enables $GOLD conversion and scaling

Churches are your economic catalysts. They passively generate $cGOLD, which your Castle converts to $GOLD — and amplify Iron output globally.

🏰 Castle

Your on-chain vault. Where gameplay turns to real value.

• Requires: Wood + Stone + Iron + 20 unlocked tiles

• Generates: $GOLD (tradable ERC-20 token)

• Upgrades: ❌ No upgrades

• Role: Final step in the loop; transforms $cGOLD into on-chain rewards

The Castle converts 1000 $cGOLD → 1000 $GOLD daily. It’s your bridge between in-game economy and real on-chain value.

🛠️ Building Durability & Repairs

Buildings degrade over time and require maintenance.

• Repair Cost:

  • Native resource of the building (e.g: Wood for House)

  • small amount of $GOLD

• Consequence of Neglect:

  • Production halts until repaired

Proactive maintenance = uninterrupted flow. Letting buildings rot = stalled economy.

📈 Building Upgrades & Progression

• All buildings (except Castle) can be upgraded up to Level 3

• Each level improves:

  • Resource yield

  • Efficiency (e.g., Church multiplier)

• Final Upgrade (Level 3) requires:

  • Wood + Stone + Iron

  • $GOLD
