The village guide: every building in Markhor Meadow

Twenty buildings, from a 10-minute first home to a 24-hour mountain fortress. Here is what each one does, how long it takes, what it costs beyond wood and stone, and who moves in.

The short versionEvery building costs wood and stone, and most also need iron, planks, blocks, cloth or diamonds. Build times run from 10 minutes to 24 hours of real time. Specialty buildings each welcome a resident; cottages add two resident spaces each. You start with two builders; the Mason’s yard and the Town hall add one each.

How building works

  1. Pick a building and place its plot on the meadow.
  2. Deliver its materials. Residents carry supplies to the site.
  3. A builder starts the timer. It keeps running while the game is closed.
  4. Tap Help build to take 5% off (1 to 20 minutes), once every ten minutes per site.
  5. When it is done, the building waits under a tarp. Pull it off yourself to reveal it.

Every two buildings raise your village level, which opens later trips and buildings. See the beginner’s guide for the best order.
