Revision 5

Decoration: Fountains and Planters is a single-use Recipe Paper in Windrose. Reading it permanently unlocks stone fountains and planters that add freshness and charm to a courtyard, balcony, or pier edge. The plan is the source for the Garden Decorations pieces.

Part of the Spanish Caribbean building set.

Category: Miscellaneous - Recipe Papers

How It Works

The paper is consumed when it is read, and every listed entry is added permanently to the build menu for that character with no further fee. The unlock is per character, so each member of a shared base needs their own copy, and reading a duplicate does nothing.

What It Unlocks

The plan teaches the full Garden Decorations range: several Flower Pot and Plant Pot variants, the Large Pot, and three sizes of fountain: Small Fountain, a standard Fountain, and the Large Fountain. Pots are built from Plant Fiber and Stone, while fountains use Stone only. The full taught list is below.

Teaches

Comfort

Placed garden pieces add a Garden +1 bonus to a room's Comfort System rating. The bonus does not stack, so a single fountain or planter is enough to claim the Garden category; extra pieces are purely aesthetic. Planters are decorative only and do not grow crops, which is handled by separate Farming pieces.

Where to Buy

Sold by the Smugglers of Port Royal Provisioner once Smugglers of Port Royal reputation reaches Faction Level 4, priced in Guinea. As with the other Spanish Caribbean plans, the Guinea cost makes this a late-game purchase; see Faction Reputation for raising the tier.

Properties

Tips

• Use a Large Fountain as the centerpiece of a plaza; it needs a wide flat area, while the Small Fountain fits on a single standard floor tile.

• Line a Flower Pot row along a balcony or pier edge for a quick border without spending Guineas on furniture.

• Because the Garden comfort bonus does not stack, spread different decoration categories around a room rather than massing identical planters.
