Can you move the castle, and should you?

[uncleseano]

How easy is it to move, what I've found online just says to manually dismantle everything but one page a few days ago says you can relocate is now easily but it looked like an AI generated page

So, how easy/hard is it. And should you move the castle?

Relocating your castle now is incredibly simple and much easier to do now than it used to be, but it still requires some effort. Basically now all you need to do is find a new plot of land, place down your relocation-heart and simply rebuild your castle.

By the way, rebuilding in this phase is basically free since it's using the items you already have at your current (old) castle.

That's great, I'll plop My first castle down first spot I find so

Wait, you still have to rebuild it? Piece by piece, wall by wall?

That's not relocating. That's rebuilding.

would be kinda impossible to instantly relocate since the building areas all have different shapes and sizes

you can place a relocation beacon
if placed you *have to* can place all of your chests and workshops on your new ground
you *can* place all the walls and floors used, those which are not used get refunded, which gets put in travel bags

Not exactly. Rebuilding is when you tear down the old one piece by piece, move to the new location and start placing a new castle from the building blocks of the old.

When you relocate, the build menu shows that you can immediately place all the walls, floors, and place-able items wherever you want (connecting to the new heart) without having any of those materials in your inventory. And you get this "overflow bag" for the stuff that you didn't end up using.

It really is way more convenient than rebuilding would be.

Would servants and prisoners move with their coffins and prison cells if we move castle through this?

Yep they move too.

Castle relocation is pretty slick considering. It's probably the best way to do it when all the castle plots are all different shapes and sizes.

What if you need to add more walls/stairs in the new location, compared to the previous castle? Can you do it during the relocation phase too (using stuff from inventory)?

Its a good system tbh.

I tried it for 1st time during raid times and shat my pants a bit lol.

Had to clear the lot, i assumed it would clear it for me. Had clear a path to entrance and build that up, then go back to heart side and build that up, place all the production and storage then could complete the relocation and it converted all outstanding walls into mats in travel box so could then merge the middle of plot and finish up.

You can use the bricks and planks that are in current base storage to place walls at new location before confirming the move. I suggest having a fair amount just to feel more secure while placing the required buildings that allow confirmation.

Just be sure you have enough stone in old base storage to add foundations as it would not let me use the stone i was getting from clearing the plot until i confirmed the relocation.

Took 1hr solo on the plot large top right side of the cursed forest at darksilver level and amount of production buildings.

You do have the option to cancel it and you dont lose anything so its fairly risk free

just place enough of your stuff to complete the relocation. can only use the pieces you already had till it is completed. the stuff you dont place will be broken down to the materials it took to make it in the travelers bags anyways so you lose nothing.
