Decoration: Stockade

Decoration: Stockade is a single-use Recipe Paper in Windrose. Reading it permanently unlocks the Stockade and Stockade Gate, the wooden defensive wall and gate set used to fence off a base perimeter.

How Recipe Papers Work

Recipe Papers are looted in the world: most often from chests in pirate camps, ruins in the Coastal Jungle, and points of interest scattered across the archipelago. Some merchants in Tortuga also rotate a small selection of plans through their stock. The paper is consumed when it is read. Reading the paper adds the listed entry to the relevant crafting station's recipe list permanently for that character, with no further fee.

What it Unlocks

Reading the paper unlocks the Stockade and Stockade Gate at the Workbench. Both are wooden palisade pieces: the Stockade is a solid wall segment and the Stockade Gate is the openable section that lets crew and carts pass while keeping wildlife and raiders out.

Purpose and Placement

Stockade pieces are early-game defenses built from common materials, mainly Wood and Rope gathered around the Coastal Jungle. They snap to the building grid like other walls, so a continuous run of Stockade segments with one or more Stockade Gates forms a fence that blocks roaming animals such as Boar and keeps a home island tidy. As a wood-tier piece the Stockade is cheaper and faster to raise than stone fortifications, but it offers less protection, so most crews treat it as a starter perimeter and upgrade to sturdier walls later.

Building Set

This recipe is part of the early-game Jungle Survivor set, a wood-and-rope building style fitted to the Coastal Jungle biome. Collecting and reading every paper in the same building set gives a coherent visual style across walls, furniture, and decoration pieces.

Where to Find

Drops most reliably from looted chests in pirate camps and ruined points of interest, with occasional appearances in cargo crates from defeated NPC ships and in random trader stock at Tortuga. Once read, the unlocked entry is bound to the character that read it; share-base members must each find and read their own copy.

Properties

Tips

• Carry duplicates as trade bait. Until a base stockpiles every recipe paper for a building set, an extra copy is a strong barter chip with other crews.

• Read papers at a base, not on a ship. Some plans add bulk decoration sets that flood the crafting menu, and being at a workshop helps preview new entries immediately.

• Once read, the unlock is permanent for that character. Reading a second copy does nothing, so a duplicate paper is best traded or sold.
