Earth Recultivator

The Earth Recultivator is a large Wonder building that can be constructed by a settlement to deliver a global-style ending and provide a significant temporary boost to settler well-being. It occupies a 7×7 foundation and is 8 tiles tall. The building requires a path connection but does not need power. Construction progresses in visible stages at each 25% completion threshold; its large size means it takes a long time to build, but up to 40 builders can work on it simultaneously.

Preparing the Earth Recultivator for launch requires stocking it with 500 Paper and 500 Extract. Once restocked, the structure is activated by selecting Launch. Activation releases balloons that carry Folktail-patented seed packs to re-cultivate life. Launching triggers a short delay followed by the end-of-game congratulation window and unlocks the flexible starting position for that map. The Wonder must be periodically relaunched to maintain its passive bonus.

While active, the Earth Recultivator fulfills the Well-Being Need within a 40-tile radius, providing a +10 bonus to Well-Being for affected settlers. Maintaining this bonus requires periodic restocking and relaunching of the Wonder.

• The Wonder does not require power but does require a walkable path connection to the rest of the town.
• Stock materials (500 Paper and 500 Extract) are consumed when preparing for a launch; workers must carry these resources to the Wonder and load them before activation.
• The building’s construction stages change visually at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% progress, giving clear feedback on construction status.
• Up to 40 builders can contribute to construction at once due to the building’s large footprint.
• The Earth Recultivator does not create new trees, bushes, or other world objects beyond the described cosmetic balloon effect; it provides only the Well-Being bonus and the endgame unlock.
• Unlike the Earth Repopulator, no pilots or visible worker launch sequence occurs during activation; workers only stock and prepare the Wonder before launch.
