The Core Rule: Food and Production First
Exark has over 100 buildings, but you should build them in a safe order.
| Priority | Building Type | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Food buildings | Food fuels buildings; stockpiles increase cycle speed |
| 2 | Production buildings | Production lets you construct more buildings |
| 3 | Crew buildings | Inspiration enables hiring crew with unique skills |
| 4 | Gold buildings | Gold buys buildings and crew at markets |
