  • Food: Find different sources of food to make sure that all villagers can eat.
  • Mud Bricks: Everyone can make mud bricks from the ground, and it can hold the strongest structures together.
  • Stone: Mine stones and craft tools to advance your civilization to the next level.

  • Clothing: Cover your villagers with better robes to protect them.
  • Crafting: Craft beer to share with your villagers as the hard-working days go by.
  • And much more!

When the goal is shared, human beings are capable of fantastic collective achievements.
