Trading Post
I can't figure out the ingredients required to build a Trading Post. I know it costs 500,000 Gold, 5,000 logs, 7,500 stones, 5,000 Bronze Bars, 2,000 Herbs (not sure which type - Garum, Pigtayle, or one of the others) and 2,000 potions (not sure which type, except it is a blue one). I now have over 2,000 Garum Herbs, but it's not satisfying the 2,000 Herbs requirement.
I have tried the Wiki, but even there it doesn't say. I have also tried searching online, but they all refer me back to the Wiki page, which, again, doesn't say.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

I think you got it wrong.
The resources used for anything in Towship are farmed there, except gold. At the top, it shows your storage and quantity of each resource you have and generate.

Apart from Tasks, you won't use your items or resources outside of Township's resource system, apart from Gold like the above said

Thank you. From what you've said, the only way to build/upgrade in the Township is through the rewards given for completing tasks, right? I have a constant message that I have no Storage space available. The only way I can find to increase storage space is through building Storehouses. Is that about right?
Thanks!

How to Get Township Resources
Buildings built within township have unique functions specifically for Township which also includes buildings that offer resources, although some other biomes will be required, as not all resources are available in all biomes, some are specific to a biome, so it varies

Township Buildings & Resources
If you have any buildings built, under the building name it will state the resources or bonuses it gives per tick, a tick is an hour in this case, everything is hourly based, if any building isn't fully functional & needs repaired, it's resources or bonuses will be hindered, best to keep in mind, all these functions are specific to Township only
Grasslands Biome
  • Estate: Population Increase & Minor Storage

  • Farming Estate: Food

  • Blacksmiths Estate: Bars

  • Clothiers Estate: Clothing

  • Large Repository: Major Storage

  • Large Academy: Education Bonus

  • Market: Building Repair Cost Reduction Bonus

  • Gardens & Tavern: Happiness Boost/Bonus

  • Cemetary: Township Potion Production Bonus by Percentage Note: This biome doesn't produce potions, you'll have to get it in another biome, but this building would increase the amount you get if you were producing potions at all

  • Town Hall: Tax your Citizens, which gives you GP, best when maxed, but this is also a mid/late game building, you won't make much use of it early on

  • Chapel: Worship or Religion if you'd rather

  • (1)Education: This bonus offers an increase to all of your building resources by a percentage based system, the higher the amount, the more output of all resource buildings you will receive

  • (2)Worship: Affects your current deity status, you can hover over Worship at the top of Township, it will give you an idea of how much Worship you need to achieve said bonus, as well as what each percentage based amount of Worship of any bonus/negatives from said bonuses as well, this is a Mid/Late game building as well as it takes a lot of resources in order to upgrade

Other biomes will have similar or other unique buildings specific to their biome, there are also 2 more biomes with Major Storage as well as some other population buildings that offer increase in Storage as well, so Storage while maybe getting full early on, won't be much a problem later, everything from hereon is self explanatory

Casual Tasks
Only casual tasks from Township, which respawn frequently, give you an opportunity to gain resources if you complete the task in question, early on, this is the best way to get Township Herbs/Potions

Easy, Normal Ect. Tasks
These are specifically challenge tasks for your items outside of Township, which offer unique rewards for completing them for use only outside of Township, but technically having completed a lot of these tasks will unlock features in Township for the Trader which offers items via Boxes on a tier based system & other bonuses

Township Beginning & Tips
It can be slow, but once you figure it out, you'll notice what you'll be needing, generally, you want to keep an eye on your Health, as it affects your Township Happiness, while it starts at max, the only way to levy this issue when it gets too low is with Township Herbs or Township Potions which you can find the buttons above your buildings in Township in any Biome with the Green + Symbols, I suggest repairing your Market in Grasslands Biome before repairing all buildings if you decide to do so, to ensure you are using your money wisely as repairing costs GP as well, if ever Full on a Resource, if you go to Manage Storage at the bottom, you can YEET Resources, so you can free up space for other resources you may need more of as you won't always have access for ways to get rid of some unless you have the right building upgrades available or in specific biomes to use them

Well, it's been a while, but I STILL cannot find a way to get stone and the other materials needed to build a Trading Post. None of the tasks give stone and there's no way to "Restart" my Township. I still need stone and other mats to build. There appear to be no workarounds...unless somebody out there has a idea. I looked into changing religions as someone suggested, but none of the religions give stone.

Can you help?

Thanks!

Trading Post
This is only for transactions for means outside Township, while you trade township resources to get items to help you in the main game, this is what the Trading Post is used for

Other Biomes
While it starts you in the Plains Biome, you actually have access to other Biomes on the left menu within Township, switching to any one of the Biomes that you can build & upgrade in, you will already know how that works, as it shows the resources they give as well, unless a building can't be built, it will tell you what the requirement is

Yeet
Don't forget to Yeet Resources if you need space for other resources in the Manage Storage tab

To Check
Note: Leaving out other resources you already know about or duplicate down the list, upgrading the buildings of said resource would give you more output of that resource, just remember to check your storage, some resources fill up more quickly if upgraded too much, off balancing your storage capacity until you can upgrade your storage capacity over time
  • Forest: Has Wood, Planks & Leather
  • Mountains: Miner's Estate which produces Stone, Ore & Coal
  • Swamp: Has Herbs
  • Valley: Has Herbs & Potions
  • Desert & Snowlands: Both of which contain the last resource of Rune Essence
