Ways to improve the Score: Be close to Toilets, but not too too close... Be close to other community buildings. The distance is calculated for each Refugee Bed, where the distance equals the straight line distance from the Refugee Bed block to the Key Item block inside a Community Building (i.e., Toilet block). Refugees also like to have options, sometimes the Toilet is occupied and you need a backup. Sometimes you want to eat in the same Dining Hall every night, and sometimes you want a change in scenery. For each type of Community Building, 67% of its benefit comes from how close you are to the nearest building, and 33% comes from how close you are to the 2nd nearest building.

Description

Community Buildings help your Village advance through the ages by transforming the Village from a safe place to stay for a few days before moving on to a thriving community to build a new life and raise a family.

Community Buildings

Every Technology Level you reach will unlock an additional community building for your Village. Each community building has specific items that need to be inside for it to function, and a Key Item that determines how close it is to each Refugee Bed to calculate amenity scores. Community buildings can start to be constructed with the construction material at the Technology Level at which they are unlocked, and can be upgraded later to any higher Technology Level structure.

Any structure that you build that contains the Key Item for a Community Building will default to a Community Building instead of a House (e.g., if you build a really nice house and put a toilet in it, that structure will no longer count as a house. It will count as a Bathroom and any beds inside will not contribute to your Village's Population.

Tech Level Community Building Key Item block Required Items to Function
1 Storeroom Community Chest 1 Community Chest. The Storeroom can have up to 1 Community Chest per Tech Level of its primary construction material (e.g. a Plexiglass Storeroom can have 4 Community Chests).
1 Bathroom Toilet block Greater than 7 blocks away and less than 15. The farther outside of this optimum range, the worse the score.
2 Workshop Machining Mill block Anywhere within 15 blocks is worth full points. Any farther than 35 blocks is worth 0 points.
3 Laboratory Chemical Processor block Anywhere within 15 blocks is worth full points. Any farther than 35 blocks is worth 0 points.
4 Commissary Dining Table block Anywhere within 7 blocks is worth full points. Any farther than 25 blocks is worth 0 points.
5 Library Bookcase block Anywhere within 15 blocks is worth full points. Any farther than 35 blocks is worth 0 points.
6 School Enchanting Table block Anywhere within 15 blocks is worth full points. Any farther than 35 blocks is worth 0 points.
7 Clinic Bioreactor block Anywhere within 15 blocks is worth full points. Any farther than 35 blocks is worth 0 points.
8 Art Gallery Painting block Anywhere within 15 blocks is worth full points. Any farther than 35 blocks is worth 0 points.
Maximum Communal Amenity Score Score is accumulated from all buildings 0-1 range 50% of the Communal Amenity Score comes from the Communal Buildings for your Village's current Tech Level. The remaining 50% comes from all previous Tech Levels with Toilets mattering the most.
