Builders!

As you embark on your journey in Chinese Frontiers, diversity of materials at your disposal is one of the most exciting aspects of the game. Every structure you build will be a unique creation, crafted from resources that reflect the rich story and rugged beauty of the world around you.

Today, we’re taking a closer look at some of the heavy materials that will be the foundation of your masterpieces, from sturdy stone to time-worn bricks…

In Chinese Frontiers, we’ve carefully chosen a variety of supplies that will not only offer you a wealth of options, but also immerse you in the authentic building practices of the era we’re drawing inspiration from. Each construction element has its own distinct feel and role in construction, allowing you to build structures that are as unique as the landscape itself.

Stone, crafted in the stonemason’s workshop, is the backbone of construction in Chinese Frontiers. It’s a building component that speaks of permanence, strength, and resilience, ideal for creating structures that stand the test of time. Whether you’re building walls or towering fortifications, stone is the go-to choice when you need to create something enduring and mighty.

Its weight and texture lend a sense of gravitas to any building. It could be used as foundations for village structures, elements of fortifications and walls, as well as in machinery, ensuring that the world you build feels rooted in history and resilient against the forces of nature.

Logs, crafted in the carpenter’s workshop, bring the natural beauty of the surrounding environment into your buildings, offering warmth and a sense of organic craftsmanship. They’re perfect for structures that blend seamlessly with the landscape. The grain and texture of the wood create a rustic, authentic feel, while its flexibility makes it perfect for structures that can stand up to the elements.

Used as structural beams and wooden frameworks in most buildings throughout the game, painted wooden elements, and even components in machinery, logs bring both functionality and aesthetic appeal to the world you build.

Bricks, made in the brickyard, have a timeless appeal that reflects the craftsmanship of past generations. It brings a sense of artistry and structure to your buildings.

Whether for large, imposing structures or smaller, more personal spaces, bricks prove versatile in any situation. They’re used as filling for the majority of walls in village buildings, as well as key elements in fortifications and walls, making them an essential material for both practical and aesthetic purposes.

When it comes to completing buildings, roof tiles, that are also made in the brickyard, are the finishing touch that ties everything together. Not only do they provide protection from the harsh weather conditions, but also add a layer of elegance to your structures.

Crafted with precision, roof tiles give your buildings a distinctive, culturally rich appearance. Used as roofing in advanced workshops in the village and in monuments, they are a versatile material that adds character to your structures.

We’re thrilled to see how you’ll use these materials to bring your visions to life in Chinese Frontiers!
