How do you unlock the Tool Maker?

[DTD_Hiro]

Has anyone unlocked this yet? I NEED a shield that won't break in 3 hits by a bandit.

The game desperately needs descriptions on the tool tips for research. Don't just say "not unlocked" say "unlocked by researching X" so we know what the hell to do other than just randomly researching and hoping for the best.

I got good news for you, the tool maker is ages away.
You first need to build the town-hall and unlock research level 2... :/
Prepare to equip your workers with hammers and max prio the building task that takes ages to build

[DTD_Hiro]

Thank you! I was running out of things to research hoping to get lucky. Was putting off the Town hall for last because of the uptick in raiders I assumed it would bring.

15 straps :(

I have the town-hall built, what else do I need to do to unlock t2? My research desk is still blank

Edit: Nvm I'm blind the t2 research desk is in the townhall

straps are not as hard to get as everyone thinks. the little houses out in the countryside that have merchants almost all of them sells straps. they restock daily. you just have to travel a bit do some sightseeing

True, or if you are into fighting you can hunt the bandits. These are relatively generous

If you have no money to buy straps from vendor, get a bow and one melee companion then go for bandit that walking around the road because they have their distance and easy to tag 1 by 1 . Just agro one and move away, don't also go for more than 3 bandit. There's a lot of bandit walk alone or two

I am almost done with my tool maker....once you have your Rathaus built it was the first one I started.....seems like I need to get my cob going for housing....and I need other buildings before I can actually start researching the t2 weapons/armours....which is annoying since I am being hit daily with raids now - as for how they did the stuff....why a second research desk? Should have just upgraded the first one.....but I am hoping I can destroy it now since I have all items researched and only need advanced ones.....it would be nice if buildings upgraded instead of having to plop a lot of them down.....the worst for me is having tons of chests everywhere to individually keep certain items and certain types in storage stockpile areas.....the limitation of stuff is pathetic....50 chest 500 stockpile seriously? Should be 500 and 5000 easily instead. I must have like 20+ chests all over the area and at least 4 stockpiles and still its a hassle to keep track of it all - With a large capacity, it would be easier to make a stockpile for all items....but what would be even better is if every station has its own stockpile attached so that you are not lugging around crap all over here to there and back again just to make that 1 weapon or whatnot....

Wait till you see that you need a certain skilled worker (blacksmith) for the "better" weapons

Well from what i see so far you cannot "make", or "train" them you can only hire them in the villages. Like there are those apprentice blacksmiths running around for example and you can hire those... But they requiere a lot of "trust" and even to have they're village liberated sooo yeah its a long(er) way to get em

Oh you can train them, you would have to 'acquire' the books. You can use it on yourself or your recruits.

[{H.B.M.N} FrEsH Dumbledore]

Yes you can train the skill *but* you cannot train that certain title, as far as i know
