11 Building and managing settlements is a core pillar of Romestead. Players begin with a camp and grow it into a working town that serves as a hub for crafting, farming, and production. As more of the world is discovered, players can establish more settlements and even set up trade between them.

66 Every settlement starts with the Town Core, the central building used to recruit citizens, rename the town, and view a settlement overview. The Altar sits alongside the Town Core as the worship interface and quest hub. The Altar requires only the Workbench and 3 Stone to craft, so worship is unlocked early. See Worship and Blessings.

Recruited citizens must be kept happy and fed. In Early Access, citizens help with more tasks; for example, the Carpenter can help complete buildings.
