Food & growth
Every 60 s, each group of 10 settlers eats one food – first Fish, then Bread. When fed and with free housing, a settler moves in every 45 s; when starving, one leaves every 180 s.
Viamundo handbook · Buildings & production chains The compendium of the island world

Kapitel 01
Basics
Viamundo is a cycle: settlers pay taxes, gold and goods become buildings, buildings produce goods, carriers bring them into storage – and well-fed, content settlers follow. The rules behind it at a glance.
Economic cycle
How everything fits together
Every meal, every carrier trip and every production cycle feeds the same cycle. If one link stalls – food is missing, storage is full or the route is too long – the whole island slows down.
- Meal
- 60 s
- Arrivals
- 45 s
- Departures
- 180 s
Tax rate
Every settlement picks low, normal or high: low collects 65% of taxes and makes settlers move in 33% faster; high collects 140% and makes them move in 33% slower. When hungry, discontented settlers leave faster. A cooldown of 15 minutes applies between two changes.
Upgrades
Level n costs the base cost × n, plus n − 2 tools from level 3. Each level above 1 adds +20% speed: at level 3 the cycle runs 1.4 times as fast.
Neighbourhood
18 building pairs strengthen each other: processors next to their suppliers work faster – at most +50% in total.
Carriers & roads
Carriers carry 2 goods per trip and need 2 s per road tile, 1 s on paving (1 Stone per tile). More carriers: House.
Storage
Every good has a storage limit; Storehouse, Granary extend it. Gold is never moved by carriers and has no limit.
Deposit
Quarry, Coal mine, Iron mine, Gold mine extract from limited deposits (250–400 units); every extraction depletes them.
Upkeep
Storehouse, Granary, Harbour, Weaponsmith, Library, Barracks, Tavern cost gold continuously – factor these fixed costs into your tax income.
Prestige
Chapel, Tavern, Town hall, Monument raise taxes and earn leaderboard points – each of them only once per settlement.

Costs apply to construction at level 1. The upgrade levels on each card show cost and cycle time level by level; the settlement level limits how far you may upgrade.

Great projects
After the “Monumental building” research, Hanseatic cities can work on mighty structures. Each great project exists once per realm; contributions are paid stage by stage from the storage of the Hanseatic city that starts it. Every completed stage takes effect across the whole realm immediately and earns prestige.
