Harvesting resources and turning them into building materials is a crucial aspect of Castle Story.

In order to begin gathering resources, you must build stockpiles. These are necessary in order to stash harvested resources. Bricktrons will always seek stockpiles to deposit collected resources and will first look for stockpiles to obtain materials needed to build blueprints.


In order to build stockpiles, you will need wood which you can obtain via the harvest task.


Harvesting Wood

PlacingHarvest2Wide.gif AssigningBricktronToHarvest2.gif


First, create a Harvest Task by clicking on the New Task button ( star ) in the taskbar, at the bottom left of your screen and click the Harvest Task button.


Now, left-click near some trees to place down the harvest task and drag the yellow circle to increase or reduce the amount of trees to chop down.


Edit Edit Mode by clicking on the X at the top middle of your screen.


Click on a Bricktron to select it, then right-click the Harvest Task icon above the task to assign the Bricktron to that task.


Your Bricktrons will now begin chopping down the trees! Every tree will yield 3 logs.



Building Your Stockpiles

While your Bricktrons are chopping wood, you can create the blueprints for the stockpile. Blueprints are how you plan constructions for your Bricktrons to build.

Begin by creating a Construction Task the same way you created the Harvest Task. After selecting the Construction Task, you will be in Edit Mode.


You must now select the constructions you'd like your Bricktrons to build in the taskbar, at the bottom right.


To make a blueprint of a stockpile, first click the Structures button, then click the Stockpile button.

Now, left-click where you want your stockpiles to be built.

Exit Edit Mode by click on the X at the top of the screen.


Select some Bricktrons and assign them to the stockpiles' construction task. They will begin hauling logs to the stockpiles' blueprints and building them.



Congratulations! You now have stockpiles!


The harvest task will allow you to gather wood from trees, stone from boulders and crystals from surface crystals.

Making Bricks

Bricks are an easy to make and sturdy building material. Here's how to make them.

Once your Bricktrons stash 80 stones on a stockpile, the stone will turn into bricks.


Start by creating a Quarry task by clicking on the New Task (star) button at the bottom left of the taskbar, then clicking on Quarry (shovel icon).


Click on the ground to place a quarry.

Assign Bricktrons to the quarry by selecting them and right-clicking the icon above the quarry. They will begin digging in the quarry and dumping the stone in a nearby empty stockpile.


Once a stockpile reaches 80 stone, they will turn into 4 bricks.
