Manor Lords: How to Move Buildings

Managing the layout of your settlement in Manor Lords can be crucial as your city evolves. You might find that the initial placement of buildings isn't ideal as your settlement expands or your strategy changes. Sometimes, a building may obstruct your town’s production or clash with the overall aesthetic. So knowing how to destroy and move the building is a key aspect of your gameplay. In this guide, we will teach you how to demolish, move, and relocate structures in Manor Lords.

How To Move Buildings in Manor Lords

Unfortunately, Manor Lords does not currently offer a direct way to move buildings. However, some buildings can be relocated. If you need to move a structure, you must first demolish it and then reconstruct it at the desired location. To do this, select the building you want to move and click on the "Demolish" option found in the top-right corner of the building's menu. This action deconstructs the building and releases all the materials used in its original construction.

After demolishing the structure and collecting the resources, you can rebuild it at your desired location. This method effectively moves the building.

It's important to note that these resources will not automatically return to your storage. They will drop to the ground at the demolition site and can be damaged by environmental factors such as rain or snow. This could potentially lead to a loss of resources if they are not quickly reused or safely stored.

While most structures in Manor Lords can be demolished, some essential small structures, such as the initial Storage plot or the Ox Station that come with your game setup, cannot be removed. These are permanent and must be worked around as you expand or adjust your settlement

How To Relocate Buildings in Manor Lords

For certain buildings, such as the Logging Camp, Sawpit, Woodcutter's Lodge, individual Market Place stalls, and Forester’s Hut, a "Relocate" option is available, which facilitates easier movement without the need for demolition. To use this feature, select the building to open its menu and click the "Relocate" button, marked by an Arrow Cross symbol in the upper right corner.

This will allow you to move the building to a new location. Ensure that you have a family unassigned to expedite the rebuilding process, and consider setting the construction priority to "Highest" for quicker completion.

Using this tool is crucial for more efficient resource gathering once the resources near your structures are depleted. The shorter the distance your gatherers have to travel, the more resources they will collect.

That concludes our guide on how to move and relocate buildings in Manor Lords. Since there is no direct option for moving structures, make sure to carefully plan your buildings to avoid having to destroy them later. For more Manor Lords news and guides, please explore the rest of our website.
