Master Your Manor Lords Layout

Welcome to the ultimate Manor Lords Layout Planner. Whether you are a seasoned baron or a new ruler, efficient city planning is the key to survival and prosperity. Our tool helps you visualize your village, optimize production chains, and ensure your burgage plots are perfectly sized for extensions.

Why Use a Layout Planner?

In Manor Lords, placement matters. Walking distances affect logistics efficiency, market coverage determines approval ratings, and soil fertility dictates farming success. By planning ahead, you can:

Maximize Market Coverage: Ensure all residential plots are within range of food and firewood stalls.
Optimize Logistics: Place Granaries and Storehouses near production hubs to minimize travel time.
Perfect Burgage Plots: Calculate the exact space needed for backyard extensions like chicken coops or vegetable gardens.

How to Use

Select a Building: Browse the sidebar categories and drag a building onto the grid.
Rotate & Move: Click a placed building to select it. Use the "Rotate" button or drag it to a new location.
Draw Roads: Select the Road tool and click/drag on the grid to create paths.
Flexible Plots: Use the "Flexible Plot" tool to draw custom-sized areas for fields or irregular housing plots.
Save & Export: Don't lose your progress! Save your layout locally or export a CSV list of your planned buildings.

Tips for a Thriving Village

1. The Granary Rule: Always place a Granary near your Marketplace. Market stall workers need to restock frequently, and a short walk to the Granary ensures high uptime for your stalls.

2. Industrial Zones: Keep "dirty" industries like Tanners and Bloomery away from residential areas if possible, though currently, the negative impact is minimal compared to the logistical benefits of centralizing production.

3. Farming Clusters: Build Farmhouses in the center of a cluster of fields. Remember that 1 Morgen is roughly the maximum a single family can plow and sow in a season.

Does this tool work on mobile?
