View source for Polycraft World Refugees

==Description==
Refugees arrive desperate, hungry, tired and in need of shelter. Soon they will become your Villagers and become the manufacturing powerhouse that helps propel your civilization to epic heights, unlocks new technologies and adds to your [[Challenge Score - 2023 Refugee Crisis|Challenge Score]]. While [[Population Capacity]] is a significant contributor to your [[Challenge Score - 2023 Refugee Crisis|Challenge Score]], increasing population density is not your only task. Increasing the individual [[Happiness]] of each Villager is critical to score in the very Top Tier of BEST competitors.

==Refugee/Villager Contributions==
Your Refugees are very skilled individuals, and the better their Village becomes the more motivated they will be to contribute valuable items to your mission.

To start, Refugees will forage across [[Polycraft Island]] and mine/harvest items that will aid you, such as Iron, Copper, Redstone, and even Nether Stars. As Refugees gain access to advanced machinery in [[Community Buildings]], such as the [[Machining Mill]] in the [[Community Buildings|Workshop]] or the [[Chemical Processor]] in the [[Community Buildings|Laboratory]], they will be able to make more and more powerful items. While your team of ~1-10 Engineers focuses on 3D Printing and community planning, your dozens to hundreds of Refugees can produce a truly impressive amount of the construction, bedding, and other materials needed to construct an ever-larger Village.

As more refugees settle, they produce increasing amounts of resources every Minecraft evening at 10 PM. There are scaling calculations based on the team size to balance the challenge for different sized teams. 


'''Pro Tip:''' Building a [[Community Buildings|Storeroom]] as early as possible is the best way to reap all of the rewards the Refugees have to offer.

==Industrious Villager Yields==
'''Note:''' Having at least 1 Villager at a given [[Technology Level|tech level]] will grant the rewards from the previous level.
