Brickyard has a base value of +10 on snowy islands.
Mill has a base value of +10 on snowy islands.

Schwiegerknecht 1 Feb, 2024 @ 2:02pm

Brewery has a base value of +7 on snowy islands.

So apparently Shaman has a base value of +5 on Snow Islands. Worth noting.

Oh, one other thing that's purely for academia. Water Plateaus don't have affinity for sand, although it's extremely easy to get them onto sand by dragging them from the water. This effect is the same as dragging the Water Plateaus and regular Plateaus through cliffs and other land, although it's not obvious as it looks pretty normal.

Abby 30 Jul, 2023 @ 6:14pm

There's something about Wall/Water Plateaus that don't follow regular affinities. Resort Oasis can't be placed on either, with exception of the (idk what it would be called?) grassy Water Plateau.
For that matter I thought that RO doesn't go on rock, although I'm not 100% on that one so follow this guide, could also be version differences!

Excellent! Gonna make an Excel spreadsheet of this and print it out.

Way cool! Some things are tricky to plan for. Gotta know ahead of time where the advanced buildings want to go.
