Overview
Resource Buildings manage different aspects of your resource production and storage. The more Resource Buildings you have and the higher their Level, the more Resources you can produce, accumulate and spend. You'll need Resources for Haven development and Unit production.
Rum Distillery
Your Rum Distilleries produce Rum to keep up your crew's morale and keep them from deserting. Each Rum Distillery produces a certain quantity of Rum per hour, depending on its upgrade Level. You may build a total of 6.
To build a Rum Distillery:
1. Go to your Haven.
2. Click "Construction".
3. Open the "Resource" tab and select the Rum Distillery.
4. Choose a place inside your Haven and start construction.
After you have upgraded this Building to a certain level, you will need Etchings to upgrade it further. Etchings can be acquired from the Smuggler's Den.
Upgrade Rum Distilleries to higher Levels to receive special Bonuses! At Levels 24 and 25 you will receive a reduction to your Units' Rum Consumption!
Windmill
Each upgrade of the Windmill increases the total production of your Rum Distilleries by 5%.

1. Go to your Haven.
2. Click the "Construction" button.
3. Open the "Resource" tab and select the Windmill.
4. Choose a place inside your Haven and start construction. You can only build one Windmill.

Stack o' Lumber
You will find several Stacks o' Lumber in your Haven at the beginning of the game. This is where you will collect Lumber (one of the three main Resources). You'll need Lumber to construct buildings, research Discoveries, and purchase new Units. To begin producing Lumber, build a Lumber Yard on a Stack o' Lumber. The number of Stacks o' Lumber is random for each Haven, so you may have to trade to meet your needs.

2. Click "Construction".
3. Open the "Resource" tab and select Lumber Yard.

You can build as many Lumber Yards as there are Stacks o'Lumber inside your Haven. Build the Sawmill to further increase Lumber production.
After you have upgraded this Building to a certain level, you will need Upgrade Etchings to upgrade it further. Upgrade Etchings can be acquired from the Smuggler's Den.
Upgrade Lumber Yards to higher Levels to receive special Bonuses! At Level 24 you will receive an Offense Bonus for all Units, and at Level 25 you will receive a Defense Bonus for all Units.

The number of Gold Ores is random for each Haven, so you may have to trade to meet your needs.
