Manor Lords: How to get resources? Manor Lords Guide

Manor Lords contains many resources that can be used in different ways. On this page of the guide we have described how to get all the available resources in the game and what they are used for.

Last update: 27 April 2024

As befits a city builder game, Manor Lords contains many different resources, each playing a different role. The process of obtaining them can be simple or complicated. On this page of the guide, we described how to obtain all available resources in the game and what they are used for.

Almost all of the resources listed below can also be obtained via trading after you build a Trading post. Therefore, we also described their import and export prices, as well as whether trading in these goods requires establishing an expensive trade route.

How to get Timber?

1 - Manor Lords: How to get resources? - FAQ - Manor Lords Guide
  1. Resource type: Construction
  2. Buy/sell price per unit: Cannot buy/sell
  3. Comment: Timber is the most basic construction resource in the game. You can get them by building a Logging camp near a cluster of trees and assigning a worker to it. He will start cutting down trees nearby, turning them into Timber. After some time, once you can afford it, build a Forester's hut nearby - this person will plant trees, ensuring that you will not run out of materials.

How to get Stone?

  1. Resource type: Construction
  2. Buy/sell price per unit: 11/1
  3. Is a trade route needed: No
  4. Comment: Stone is the second basic building resource. To obtain it, you must build a Stonecutter camp next to the stone deposit and assign a worker to it. The worker will start extracting the stone from the deposit. Stone deposits are small and do not regenerate, but fully mining one of them should take you several years - then you will have to import stone from a trading post or annex another region containing a rich stone deposit.

How to get Planks?

  1. Resource type: Construction
  2. Buy/sell price per unit: 12/2
  3. Is a trade route needed: No
  4. Comment: Planks are an advanced construction resource. To get it, you need to build a sawmill and assign an employee to it. The worker will start turning Timber into Planks. They can be used to improve Burgage plots and build Extensions.

How to get Rooftiles?

2 - Manor Lords: How to get resources? - FAQ - Manor Lords Guide
  1. Resource type: Construction
  2. Buy/sell price per unit: 18/8
  3. Is a trade route needed: Yes
  4. Comment: Rooftiles are an advanced construction resource. To get it, you need to build a Clay furnace and assign a worker to it. The worker will start processing Clay into Rooftiles. They can be used to improve Burgage plots. They are also an excellent export product - their sales price is high, their production chain is short and simple, and the rich clay deposits are huge, thanks to which the sale of roof tiles will bring you huge profits.

How to get Blocks?

  1. Resource type: Construction
  2. Buy/sell price per unit: 16/6
  3. Is a trade route needed: Yes
  4. Comment: Blocks are an advanced construction resource. In the version of the game on which this guide is based (Early Access, 0.7.002), the production of Blocks is not possible, so they can only be obtained via trading. They are currently not applicable.

How to get Flax?

3 - Manor Lords: How to get resources? - FAQ - Manor Lords Guide
  1. Resource type: Crops
  2. Buy/sell price per unit: 12/2
  3. Is a trade route needed: No
  4. Comment: Flax is a cultivated plant that grows on agricultural fields. To get it, you need a farmland and a farm. Once you have collected it, you can turn it into linen in the loom, which in turn can be turned into clothes and gambesons in the tailor's expansion. Gambesons will turn out to be a better final product - clothes have their uses, but they do not fulfill their role as well as shoes .

How to get Barley?

  1. Resource type: Crops
  2. Buy/sell price per unit: 12/2
  3. Is a trade route needed: No
  4. Comment: Barley is a crop that grows on agricultural fields. To get it, you need a farmland and a farm. Once you have collected it, you can turn it into Malt in the Malthouse, which in turn can be turned into Ale in the Brewery Extension. Ale is required to upgrade residential plots to the highest level, so barley is a very valuable grain - if you can't grow it, consider importing it.

How to get Wheat?

  1. Resource type: Crops
  2. Buy/sell price per unit: 12/2
  3. Is a trade route needed: No
  4. Comment: Wheat is a crop that grows on agricultural fields. To get it, you need a farmland and a farm. Once harvested, it will be turned into Grain on the farm, which in turn can be turned into Flour in the Windmill. Flour can then be made into Bread in the Communal oven or in the Bakery Extension. Bread is useful because you need a variety of food to develop your residential plots to the highest level, although you can also obtain it by building a food wagon (you have to unlock certain perk).

How to get Rye?

  1. Resource type: Crops
  2. Buy/sell price per unit: 12/2
  3. Is a trade route needed: No
  4. Comment: Rye is a crop that grows in agricultural fields. To unlock it, you must spend two development points to access and purchase the Rye cultivation technology.

Bread is useful because you need a variety of food to develop your residential plots to the highest level, although you can also obtain it by building a food wagon (you have to unlock certain perk).

  1. Resource type: Food
  2. Buy/sell price per unit: 12/2
  3. Is a trade route needed: No

  3. Is a trade route needed: No

How to get Herbs?

  1. Resource Type: Materials
  2. Buy/sell price per unit: 12/2
  3. Is a trade route needed: No
  4. Comment: To get Herbs, you need to upgrade the Forager hut. Workers will start picking not only Berries, but also Herbs. When your settlers start to get sick, they will take herbs to recover faster, so it's worth having them on hand.
