the library
knowledge
Everything anyone works out dies with them unless it is written down. Here they mark what they learned, and anyone can come and read it — a stranger's hard-won trick becomes everyone's.
Goal: Keep knowledge alive between people and between generations.
Costs: 6 wood, 3 stone, 2 clay
Unlocks: Anyone can study here. They come away with a skill or a raw idea, and what they do with it is entirely theirs — nothing in the library tells them what to build.
Tools they need first
- charcoal stylus
Marking down what was learned so it outlives the person who learned it.
- stone axe
Fells standing trees instead of scavenging fallen ones — the first real jump in how fast wood comes in.
