The doloc town buildings guide helps you choose what to place on your farm and how to craft the structures, storage, lighting, furniture, and decorations documented for the game. Start with platforms if you need more places to grow, then use the recipe sections to check materials, workstations, and unlock methods. This page focuses on the confirmed building information collected for Doloc Town rather than unverified automation claims or invented construction costs.
Doloc Town Buildings at a Glance
The collected building material covers several practical groups: building platforms, lighting, storage, furniture, and decorations. It also records the workstation used for many items and explains whether a recipe is available by default, bought as a recipe sheet, unlocked through the Life tech tree, or received from a task. Together, these groups cover both functional farm expansion and the placeable items that make a settlement more useful and personal.
Use the categories as a planning map: platforms expand buildable space, storage organizes materials, and lighting, furniture, and decorations furnish living areas. When a recipe depends on another system, check the [farming guide](/farming) or [recipes guide](/recipes) instead of assuming an unlock requirement.
Building Platforms
Platforms are the clearest starting point for farm construction because they create the surfaces where the settlement can expand. The recipe material lists Platform - Wooden, Platform - Bamboo, Platform - Rubbish, Platform - Steel, and Platform - Stone. Their recipes use the Manual Workbench and are recorded as immediate outputs, while their unlock paths differ.
Platform - Wooden is available by default and produces two platforms from Wood. Platform - Bamboo produces three from Bamboo Tube after completing the Rivervalley Plant Research faction request. Platform - Rubbish produces five from Rusty Metal Sheet and is received during the dungeon farming tutorial, while Platform - Steel produces ten from Iron Ingot after completing the General Mineral Research in Doloc faction request.
Platform - Stone produces two platforms from Stone. Its recipe is bought as a recipe sheet from the General Store, so it is a useful example of why the shop and recipe systems are connected to building progression. The source does not provide a single universal best platform, so choose from the materials and unlocks that are actually available in your save.
Lighting Buildings
Lighting recipes are mainly made at the Equipment Workbench and use a Battery alongside materials such as Wood, Glass, Copper Ingot, Iron Ingot, Rockwood, Fiber, Burlap, Plastic, Coal, or an Old Battery. The collected list includes Copper Floor Lamp, Electric Torch Lamp, Floor Lamp, Log Lamp, Neon Sign, Palm Floor Lamp, Wooden Floor Lamp, and several region-themed lamps. Most are recorded as immediate outputs once the recipe is available.
Some lighting recipes are tied to specific sources. Copper Floor Lamp and Log Lamp are bought from Doloc Furniture Shop, while Mountain Floor Lamp is bought from Cerro Rico Trading Store after Force Quipu. Plains Curved-Horn Floor Lamp is bought from Skychild Trading Store after Force Kenenimuu, and Lowland Floor Lamp is bought from Vulture Gang Trade Shop after Force Shylock.
Other lamps use different unlock routes. Odd Light comes from the Power Assistance faction request, while Wasteland Light is unlocked through Living Basics in the Life tech tree with 1 Tool Operation. Several entries use matching recipe sheets, so check the exact recipe before building.
Storage Buildings
Storage buildings give you more ways to organize materials and keep useful items near the parts of the farm where they are needed. The documented list includes Box, Plastic Box, Heybox, Small Wooden Case, Large Wooden Case, Storage Shelf, Box Locator, and Sunmao Watchtower Display Cabinet. The recipes use either the Manual Workbench or Equipment Workbench, and the material requirements range from Old Cardboard and Plastic to Wood, Rockwood, Metal Frame, Iron Ingot, Battery, Soil, and Coal.
The basic Box uses four Old Cardboard and is received during the recycling tutorial. Plastic Box uses six Plastic and is made at the Manual Workbench when its matching recipe sheet is available. Small Wooden Case uses 35 Wood and is tied to Daily Living in the Life tech tree with 1 Tool Operation, while Storage Shelf uses Metal Frame and is tied to Stackable Storage with 3 Tool Operation.
Large Wooden Case uses 30 Rockwood and is tied to Storage in the Life tech tree with 5 Tool Operation. Box Locator uses Iron Ingot and Battery, while Sunmao Watchtower Display Cabinet uses 40 Soil and 5 Coal; both use matching recipe sheets at the Equipment Workbench. Heybox requires ownership of the HEYBOX/XiaoHeiHe gift DLC.
Furniture and Decorations
Furniture and decorations cover everyday objects, seating, beds, tables, display pieces, plush items, plants, and larger settlement comforts. The source lists familiar wooden items such as Wooden Bed, Wooden Chair, Wooden Small Table, Wooden Large Table, Wooden Sofa, and Wooden Stool, alongside regional sets made from Rockwood, Bamboo Tube, Fiber, Burlap, Plastic, Wool Fabric, and other materials. Many of these recipes are produced immediately at the Equipment Workbench after you obtain the matching recipe.
Living Basics in the Life tech tree unlocks several simple comforts. Bed uses 20 Wood and 2 Burlap, Wooden Small Table uses 25 Wood, and Wooden Stool uses 10 Wood; each is recorded with Living Basics and 1 Tool Operation as its unlock. Shower Stall is tied to Shower with 3 Tool Operation, while Flowerpot is tied to Ornamental Plants with 2 Tool Operation and 1 Field Study.
The list also includes decorative items with quest or shop requirements. Brown Bear Plush and Polar Bear Plush use Wool Fabric and 5 Alfalfa and are associated with the Iron Bird Relics faction request. Scarecrow uses 10 Wood and 2 Burlap and is bought from Trader - Valley, while Trampoline uses an Old Tire and 3 Rusty Metal Sheet and is bought from Outpost Supply Point.
Workstations and Recipe Unlocks
The workbench determines which building recipes you can make immediately after unlocking them. Platform recipes in the supplied list use the Manual Workbench, while most lamps, storage upgrades, furniture, and decorations use the Equipment Workbench. The material also points to shared crafting rules and a complete workstation directory in the [recipes guide](/recipes), which is the best next page when a building requires a particular station.
Recipe access comes from several documented routes. Some items are available by default, some arrive during tutorials or faction requests, some require a matching recipe sheet, and others are bought from named stores. A smaller group is tied to Life tech tree entries such as Living Basics, Daily Living, Storage, Stackable Storage, Shower, or Ornamental Plants.
Because these unlock methods are different, check the material list and recipe source before spending resources. A building may be inexpensive but unavailable until its recipe sheet, task, shop, or tech-tree requirement is complete.
Planning Your Farm Buildings
Start with the function you need rather than trying to craft every building at once. If the goal is more farming space, review the platform recipes and the material currently in your inventory. If the goal is organization, compare the Box, Plastic Box, cases, and shelves by their recorded materials and unlock paths before choosing a storage recipe.
Lighting, furniture, and decorations can be planned around the room or area you are furnishing. Keep recipe-sheet items separate from default or tech-tree recipes, and note which pieces require a shop or faction request. This approach lets you collect the right materials over time without claiming that an item is available before the source confirms its unlock.
For regional furniture sets and special decorations, use the exact entry for the item you want, confirm its materials and workstation, and then follow the listed shop, quest, recipe-sheet, DLC, or tech-tree route.
