Revision 1

As settlements grow, Romestead lets players automate production and logistics rather than handling everything manually. Automation is a deeper layer of the building game and connects multiple settlements into a single economy.

Automating Production

More advanced buildings allow players to automate their production lines with logistics systems. This lets a settlement keep producing goods with less direct micromanagement, freeing players to explore or fight. See Settlements and Buildings for the buildings involved.

Trade Between Settlements

The Trading Post, a building added in Early Access, automates the transfer of resources between towns across the world. It extends town automation into empire-wide automation through player-created automated trade routes. Because different biomes support different specialized settlements, trade routes let a network of towns supply one another.

How Trade Routes Work

• Build a Trading Post to enable cross-settlement logistics.

• Create automated trade routes between your towns.

• Move resources empire-wide without manual hauling on every trip.

• Combine specialized biome settlements into a connected economy.

Trade and automation build on the physical Resource Management system: carts handle hauling from the wild, while trade routes handle movement between established towns. See Biomes for why settlements in different regions specialize.
