County of Fortune construction points pay for everything you build and maintain, and they come from two places: free points your region generates on its own, and points made by guilds that consume raw materials.

County of Fortune construction points: the two kinds

  • Free Construction Points are generated automatically and slowly in each region, with a cap of 50 per region. They can stand in for carpentry points during construction, especially early in the game. Since the October 2026 update they can be applied at any point during a construction, not only at the moment you place a new building — so they are enough to put up a carpenter's guild itself if you have no carpentry points yet.
  • Carpentry points are produced by a Carpenter's Guild that consumes logs.
  • Masonry points are produced by a Masons' Guild that consumes stone, and are mostly required for the Commoner tier of buildings.

The two kinds fail in different ways, so it is worth knowing which one you are short of: free points run out on their own, while guild points run out when the material runs out. Building maintenance covers what happens on the other side of that shortage.

Services cannot be imported

Carpentry and masonry points are regional services rather than tradeable goods: they need the workshop, the labour and the material in the same place, so they cannot be imported. Only the raw material can. If a region wants masonry, you ship it stone and build a masons' guild there — which means a region with tier-2 buildings needs stone coming in even when the stone is nowhere near its own deposits. Trading covers what can cross a region border, and building maintenance covers what happens when the points run out.

Reading the numbers

All types of Construction Point are displayed directly in the main bar in the top-right corner, so you can see how many of each type the region currently holds. The bar greys out the type that is not relevant at the moment and warns you whenever one of them drops to zero.

The tooltip has been made much more detailed: it explains how the points are produced, shows the production chain, shows where the production actually takes place within that particular region, and how much of the construction material is sitting in storage. Selecting the region itself shows the full balance.
