Need Luxury Goods and have no way to make them...

[Ίμπις]

Hello!

So I need Luxury Goods and have no way to make them.

I fear I have soft-locked myself too because my final order is to deliver Luxury Goods, and I don't have any buildings or blueprints which can produce them. I have no way of acquiring another blueprint (that I'm aware of) due to the fact that I only have one order left and I am unable to deliver it.

I have a trading post, but no traders seem to have Luxury Goods for sale?

Is there any way to acquire/exchange blueprints outside of completing orders?

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Edit:
I have just found and purchased 'obsidian archive level 3' which allows me to reroll blueprints, essentially fixing this for future games

You do not need to do Orders to win the game. Your ONLY win condition is to acquire enough Reputation points and you have few ways of getting them.

Orders, open Caches using Tool option, Events (not all Events give Rep), Trader can sometimes have 0.5 Rep to offer and lastly but most importantly by making your Workers happy! When your Workers have high enough Resolve they will start generating Reputation thus winning you the game.

As mentioned, you seem to fall into the classic newbie trap of relying (only) on orders to earn reputation points. It is not the recommended approach and straight out impossible beyond the easiest difficulties.

Rerolling blue print is a huge trap. You are by no mean guaranteed to get anything useful from rerolling and it can waste amber for no real gain. You are better off ignoring the option completely and try to focus on what's in front of you. In your case of luxury good, have you checked all caches? A lot of them have luxury goods inside, and can be opened with stone.

That and, learn to get your workers happy by providing a couple of complex food and ideally service they want.

To add something more, try not to get fixated on getting particular Blueprint than can make item X. This way you can waste a ton of Amber by rerolling. Reroll is best when options presented does not bring you anything of value. If you have bad options, reroll. If you have decent option, even if it is something you did not consider, take it, do not reroll. Every building have value, try to learn when they are good.

I.e. if you already have tons of Flour from Caches, Events or some other source, you should not take Blueprint for a building making Flour or Farm making Grain but you can focus on getting building that will use this Flour to make something more useful. Even if you had success with Farm or Mill earlier, in this case they will not work well.

Same can go for nearly anything in this game. They are Items/Blueprints/Cornerstones that on average are considerably better or weaker than others, but more than 90% (this is not a precise number) of them have uses in certain situations, in these situations even weak Cornerstones can work wonders.

And not yet mentioned. Yes traders sell luxury goods. Its actually the standard goto way of getting them. Most people rarely produce luxury goods unless its for packaging.

You do need to unlock the advanced traders first though. You may not have access to them yet. (I dont know their unlock requirements, i suppose some come with account level and some come with deeds)

Thanks everybody for the advice! I did manage to accidentally complete that settlement without completing the order - I was sacrificing wood to the Hearth to keep people happy (due to the length of time I spent on the settlement, the hazard had become very high) and I believe this provided me the few Rep points I need for the win.
