The Mason can craft blocks, statues, and tools from stone, but to do it he'll need a mallet and chisel crafted by the carpenter. Usually, to assign someone a new job you'll also need to craft a tool for them. Some jobs, when they meet certain prerequisites, can upgrade to entirely new jobs with new capabilities. As your hearthlings work at a job they will gain experience and levels. Each job has a specific role like hauling materials, building, crafting, and fighting. A job is like a class in a role playing game. Level Up Your SettlersĪll the settlers in your towns have jobs. Do you want to build a great conquering empire? A vibrant trade city?
