So you want to own land eh?

Nodes
Well the first part of owning land is well, the land. To get some land you're going to need to find an area that suits your fancy. Now, this can't be any old piece of land. Thanks to the socialist bastards in Korea, we have to make sure all our land is connected to a Capital city.

A node is connected when the map shows a line connecting the two nodes, funny how that works. All nodes have to have a path back to the capital via nodes you own, and you can't have an island.

In order to actually get the node you need to physically travel there and talk to what's called a Node Manager. They usually are the assholes who actually own the farm or some cowards hiding under a rock from some loving bees or equally pussy rear end poo poo. These guys will have a dialogue option called Node Management.

Each node has a different contribution point cost associated with it. This point cost is fully refundable if you change your mind later, and can even be done remotely. Just remember, you can't make an island. So if you want to refund a node in the middle of the chain you are going to have to destroy the rest of the chain first.

Resource Nodes
So you invested in the land, good for you, you still can't do poo poo with it. In order to actually get the delicious potatoes kalstrams dreams about you need to then invest in the resource node. A resource node is available after you have invested in the actual node and can be done through the same NPC node manager that you invested in the land itself in. These also have their own contribution costs and are refundable. Anything that ever costs contribution is refundable.

So to make sure it's clear, its first invest in the land such as "Jackhole Farm" then invest in "poo poo Turd Field" at "Jackhole Farm". This will allow you to get poo poo Turds. Each resource node also has what I'll say is a 'rare' harvest, in that it's secondary to what you are getting there and is influenced by luck. Such as eggs at the chicken factory

SlavesWorkers
Well just because you now have the resource doesn't mean you are actually getting anything. What are you going to do, harvest it yourself like a poor? You're going to do what your ancestors before did and get some 'workers'. These workers come in three varieties and five rarities.

First, you need lodgings to house them. You buy these through the map just like with storage, residences, workshops, etc.

Goblins - these fuckers are fast and work fast, but need fed often cause their stamina is so low. Very good, highly recommend.

Humans - These fuckers are in the middle and have the highest luck. Luck is important since it increases the chance of getting rare harvests. Very good, highly recommend.

Giants - Slow and dumb. These fucks have tons of stamina and can work all day while you are sleeping and at work. Very good, highly recommend.

The rarities influence how good the workers are, it goes White > Green > Blue > Yellow > Orange and are called Naive > [nothing] > Skilled > Professional > Artisan
Naive can't be promoted, don't waste your lodgings on this poo poo you gently caress

Your workers will gain levels by doing your bidding and gain more stats and perks. The perks are listed on their sheets, you can read that yourself.

At level 10 your worker is eligible for a promotion, where he will go back to level 1 and go up in color. You won't ever see that happen however since he will always fail his test, I guarantee it.
This also takes 24 real life hours where your worker won't do anything except prepare to fail his test

Workers also have stats:
Work Speed - How fast he does the thing you tell him to do
Moving Speed - How long it takes them to go to where he needs to do the thing will take
Luck - Chance at getting rare items during work
Stamina - How many iterations he can do before stopping.

Using Workers
To use a worker you do so through an interface. Let's start with harvesting. You go to your map and click Jackhole Farm. After that you will see the symbol for the poo poo Turds, click that. This should open a menu of assigning a worker to collect some poo poo. Remember to change the amount of iterations to max, as it defaults to one and then you can't leave him afk and trust him to do the rest.

The worker will leave his lodging, travel to the field, gather the poo poo, and deposit it in your storage. Each iteration's time is shown on the menu.

To create items with your workers you click the cities map of where you bought the workshop. You then open whatever it's called, I think craft management or something. You will need the items needed to craft it in your storage. If you didn't gently caress that up you can then assign a worker to make poo poo just like in the previous dialogue.

You also have to stay logged in or else your workers will only finish their current task and then stop. You can minimize the game to tray to take up minimal resources.

That's the basics and also all I'm going to type. If you have other questions click the link in the bottom of the OP.
