Kuni

Overview
Kunis are separate sections of land that can be captured and developed by families. They can generate large amount of resources for the holders of the kuni without actually having to be present in the game. However, a new kuni can be difficult and arduous to build unless you can secure a large supply of planks from another source. There are different kuni types that will grant bonuses for the extraction of certain raw materials while nerfing other raw materials. You will also need to be at least level 36 before you can start developing a kuni due to some buildings requiring cotton and nettleweave.

Beginning
The first building that needs to be built is the Sawpost. The Sawpost will create planks for you.

You will need to create enough planks to build a Labor Camp, a Small Honmune, a Granary and a Lumberyard. Building a Player Warehouse is optional at this stage for faster transfer of planks from outside the kuni.

The Lumberyard will allow you to make 1 hour orders of planks so it will be easier. However, the Lumberyard can only be operated by a carpenter. In order for you to get a carpenter, you must wait for one to spawn in at the labor camp.

The Labor Camp will randomly spawn any type of worker every 60 minutes. In order to see what kind of worker it is, you must head to a honmune and check the resident list. Next, you must place food inside the granary in order for you to assign a worker to a honmune. If you do not assign a worker to a honmune, they will leave once the next worker spawns in at the labor camp. '''It is recommended to pick the highest skill level worker and disregard the food cost since food can be obtained very easily in the game. You can worry about getting more efficient skill:food ratio workers at the later stages of the kuni.'''

Once you have appointed a worker to a honmune, they are ready to work. Just head to the building and make an order. Generate enough planks to build a Property Warehouse. Property Warehouse will store any items and has a much larger capacity at 10,000 weight. However, this is a shared storage so any players with the right permissions can access it. The Property Warehouse will allow you to build buildings without needing to carry the planks in your inventory.

Developing
You are ready to build, but what do you build next?

Buildings that generate resources are divided into Production and Extraction. Production buildings are buildings where you provide the raw materials to be crafted into items. Extraction buildings are buildings where raw materials are gathered at the cost of mon. However, Extraction buildings cannot extract a raw material that is not available in the region the kuni is located in. For example, you cannot extract cotton in a kuni in Tohoku as cotton can only be found in Chubu and Shikoku.
