Stone

🏘️ What is Stone?

Stone is a core mid-game resource in Townies, actively produced by Houses over time. Unlike Wood, which is freely generated from your board, Stone requires Houses to be produced

As your city grows, so does your Stone output, but so do the demands. It fuels most of the mid-game economy, from building infrastructure to maintaining key operations.

⛏️ How to Generate Stone

Source	Houses (population-based production)
Method	Generated over time per active House
Rate	Varies by House level
Boosts	Indirect (upgrade Houses to increase rate)

Note: Stone is not tradable, and must be collected actively.
