The villagers are your top priority..

An infection might prove fatal to the strongest warrior and a plague can wipe out your entire settlement. Check out new mods for Founders’ Fortune on the Steam Workshop or make your own! When your colonists arrive, they have nothing but the clothes on their backs.

Word got around that your colony has begun to produce wares. Greet traveling traders and see if you can get a good deal on some ancient scrolls or buy additional food to prepare for winter. This is why Founders’ Fortune has a full ModKit with accompanying tutorials – so that modders have an easier time getting started.

Each villager reacts to events, happy or sad, and reflects that in their behavior.

Some might even decide to start a family – and you’ll soon be welcoming new members to the group! You are not alone in this new land you call ‘home’. If morale is low, additional funds can even buy a tiny bit of happiness! You take control and tell them to gather materials and build walls, floors and furniture. There are dozens of construction and furniture elements that you can use to create the settlement you’ve always dreamed of! Be sure to stock up before winter hits and act quick when a swarm of hungry bugs descends upon your fields! The little ones are the future of the village, so make sure they have a happy childhood and an adequate education – sometimes achieving both can be difficult. Use the time you have and make sure you have enough food stored away, for winter is coming.

Some might even decide to start a family – and you’ll soon be welcoming new members to the group! You are not alone in this new land you call ‘home’. Train your colonists in the art of warfare and equip them with the best weapons and armor you have.
