Buildings
From Project Rebearth
Buildings are the core structures players construct and manage in Project Rebearth. Each building serves a specific function, from housing the population to producing resources, defending territory, and enabling trade. Buildings are grouped into categories based on their role in the settlement.
Construction costs vary by biome. In the Wood Biome, most buildings cost 
Wood. In the Stone Biome, they cost 
Stone. In the Earth Biome, they cost 
Earth. The Arctic Biome uses Wood at double the normal cost. Some advanced buildings also require 
Tools, 
Glass, 
Metal, or 
Scrap.
Town
[edit]Town buildings form the core of a settlement, providing essential services and administration.
| Building | Population | Key function |
|---|---|---|
| Center | +10 | Starting building; stores 5,000 resources; upgrades to Square |
| Square | +20 | Upgraded Center; stores 10,000 resources; produces  Coin
|
| Market | -5 | Enables buying and selling up to 1,000 resources |
| Town Hall | -20 | Administrative building |
| Tavern | -5 | Converts  Drinks into Coin
|
| Plaza | — | Decorative paved area (Polygon) |
| Dirt | — | Unpaved area; upgrades to Plaza |
| Market Stall | — | Parent structure for stall variants |
| Market Stall 1 | — | Converts  Food into Coin
|
| Market Stall 2 | — | Converts Food into Coin
|
| Market Stall 3 | — | Converts Food into Coin
|
| Market Stall 4 | — | Converts Food into Coin
|
| Market Stall 5 | — | Converts  Clothes into Coin
|
Housing
[edit]Housing buildings provide population capacity. Each tier offers more population at a higher construction and upkeep cost. All housing must be placed within 100m of a Center, Square, or Market.
| Building | Population | Cost | Wood/day |
Food/day
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shack | +2 | 35 | -1.0 | -1.5 |
| Hut | +3 | 55 | -1.5 | -2.0 |
| Cabin | +4 | 80 | -2.0 | -2.5 |
| House | +6 | 135 | -2.5 | -4.0 |
| Residence | +8 | 200 | -3.0 | -5.0 |
| Villa | +10 | 280 | -3.5 | -6.0 |
Costs shown are for the Wood Biome and Stone Biome. The Earth Biome uses Earth for construction and consumes roughly 1/10th the Wood for upkeep. The Arctic Biome costs double in Wood and consumes double Wood for upkeep.
Food
[edit]Food buildings produce Food, 
Grain, and processed food products.
| Building | Population | Key function |
|---|---|---|
| Field | Varies | Polygon; grows crops (potato, maize, grain) or raises animals (sheep, goat, cow) |
| Fishery | -1 | Produces +5.0 Food/day; must be placed on the coast
|
| Boat | -1 | Child of Fishery; produces +3.0 Food/day
|
| Pier | — | Child of Fishery; placed on water |
| Windmill | -5 | Converts Grain into  Flour; upgrades to Improved Windmill
|
| Improved Windmill | — | Upgraded Windmill; more efficient grain conversion |
| Bakery | -2 | Converts Flour into Food
|
Resources
[edit]Resource buildings gather raw materials from the environment.
| Building | Population | Key function |

| Woodcutter | -4 | Produces Wood; output varies by biome
|
| Saw | -3 | Child of Woodcutter; produces +20.0 Wood/day
|
| Nursery | -1 | Child of Woodcutter; produces Wood (biome-varying)
|
| Tent | -1 | Child of Woodcutter; produces Wood (biome-varying)
|
| Logpile | — | Child of Woodcutter; stores 100 Wood
|

|
| Brewery | -10 | Converts Grain into Drinks
|
| Creamery | -5 | Converts  Milk into Food
|
| Glassworks | -10 | Converts Earth into Glass
|

|
Infrastructure
[edit]Infrastructure buildings provide roads, bridges, and maritime trade capabilities.
| Building | Population | Key function |
|---|---|---|
| Path | — | Basic road; upgrades to Road |
| Road | — | Paved road; costs Stone per meter
|
| Bridge | — | Crosses water; must be placed on water or coast |
| Port | -20 | Enables maritime trade with 5,000 capacity; must be placed on the coast |
| Dock | — | Child of Port; extends port reach on water |

|
| Medium Ship | — | Docked at Port; consumes -5.0 Drinks/day

|
Storage
[edit]Storage buildings hold resources for the settlement.
| Building | Population | Key function |
|---|---|---|
| Warehouse | -1 | Stores 5,000 of all standard resources |
| Logpile | — | Child of Woodcutter; stores 100 Wood
|
The Center (5,000) and Square (10,000) also provide storage for all standard resources. Individual production buildings often have small storage buffers (typically 50-100) for their output resources.
Research
[edit]Research buildings generate 
Knowledge for unlocking technologies and funding Expeditions.
