Along with food and fuel, your villagers inManor Lordsappreciate having access to clothing. In fact, you will need to provide clothing to your burgage plots to level them up, which is essential to leveling up your village. So, how do you get clothing?
Here, we are going to take a look at how to make clothing in Manor Lords. This will start from the basics of resource acquisition and go all the way to creating good at a tailor. It’s also important to note that clothing is different from armor, which is primarily used for your militia and retinue.
Manor Lords is currently in Early Access on Steam and as such, the content is subject to change. We will update these articles as required.
What Counts As Clothing?
Clothes areneeded toupgrade your burgage plot,but you don’t necessarily need to craft clothing to fulfill this upgrade requirement. Items such aswool or hide can satisfy this requirement.Below, you can check outeverything that goes toward the clothing requirement.
How To Get Leather, Linen, And Yarn
Leather, linen, and yarn come from resources thatonly need to be processed one time.
Leather
Leather is made fromhides, which come fromHunting Camps and burgage plots with the goat backyard extension.These are both simple structures that don’t require anything to be unlocked. To build up a supply of hides,we suggest just building a Hunting Campand letting the hides steadily come in.
Hides can then beprocessed at the Tannery, which is found in theIndustry tabof the construction menu. With workers assigned to the Tannery,your hides will be gradually turned into leather.
Linen
Linen ismade from flax, which is grown infields. From theFarming tabof the construction menu, simplyplace down a field and set the crop to flax.After a growing period, workers (assigned from thefarmhouse) will begin to harvest the flax.
To turn flax into linen, you will need to build aWeaver Workshop.With this building, assigned workers will begin toturn flax into linen.
Yarn
The last basic clothing resource we have is yarn. This isproduced from sheep wool, which has a bit more steps to obtain. First, you will need tomake a Livestock Trading Post,which is found in theTrading tab of the construction menu.Here, you will be able topurchase sheep.
Once you purchase sheep, you will need tomake a pasture and a Sheep Farm (both of which are found in the Farming tab).With a Sheep Farm set up,workers will gather wool from the sheep within your pasture.From here, theWeaver Workshopwill also be able to turn the wool into yarn.
How To Make Shoes
Shoes are made at theCobbler’s Shop,which is a backyard extension that can be added to level two and three burgage plots. This extension will convert the burgage plot into a shop thatproduces shoes with two pieces of leather.
The shop will continue producing shoes forever (granted there is enough leather), but you can alsopause production if you are either running low on leather or have too many shoes.
You can alsosell excess shoes for eight coins.
How To Make Clothes And Cloaks
Clothes and cloaks are made at theTailor’s Shop.Like the Cobbler’s Shop, this is only available as a backyard extension after you upgrade a burgage plot at least once.
When the shop is built, you canproduce clothes, cloaks, and gambesons.Gambesons aretechnically an armor piece,so you don’t need to make this to fulfill clothing requirements. Below, you can check out the necessary resources to make clothes and cloaks.
1x Linen
1x Dye
1x Yarn
How To Make Dye
For both clothes and cloaks,you will need to get your hands on some dye.Thankfully, this can be done at the Dyer’s Workshop (found in the Industry tab of the construction menu).The workers assigned here will begin toturn berries into dye, which can then be used to make clothes and cloaks.
How To Sell Clothes At The Marketplace
Clothes and basic clothing resources will besold at the marketplace by villagers assigned to related job.This means that you don’t need to take any extra steps to begin selling!
Just because the market is selling clothes, this doesn’t guarantee that everyone in the village has access to them. You will need totake into consideration the population and closeness to the marketplace.If your town becomes too spread out, you can alwaysplace down another marketplace area.
By clicking on the marketplace itself (not a stall), you’re able to see thesupply and demand.Hovering over ‘Clothing’ willhighlight all burgage plots and what clothing they have access to.Burgage plots will have circles above them that correspond to the requirements for the current level.
For example,level two burgage plots will have two circles.Each circle will have a clothing type filled in;if there are not enough clothes, then the circle will remain empty.Using this function is a great way to see how your resources are spread.
