Chinese Frontiers News

A growing monument needs more than ambition - it needs resources. In Chinese Frontiers, gathering is the foundation of your progress, survival, and prosperity. Surroundings are full of valuable materials - ready to be shaped into something greater.

And today, we’re diving into the heart of resource gathering: how it works, what you’ll find, and how it fuels your journey forward.

[h2]Get it started[/h2]

Every structure begins with the basics. Wood, stone, and bamboo will be among the first resources you collect, and they’ll remain central throughout your entire adventure.

Wood can be picked up from the ground or harvested by chopping shrubs and trees of various sizes. It’s used for building materials and tools.

Bamboo, on the other hand, is gathered from tall, slender stalks and used primarily in scaffolding and lighter construction. It’s flexible, plentiful, and indispensable when laying down the foundations of your early village.

Stone and limestone are a builder’s best friends. Gather loose stones from the ground or break down small boulders to obtain usable chunks. For more serious needs, you’ll mine from larger rock formations and rich mineral deposits. Limestone, meanwhile, is ideal for fine-tuned construction and decorative work.

[h2]Dig and mine[/h2]

Not all resources come from forests and hills. Clay and sand are just as vital, and you’ll dig for them in dedicated pits, often near rivers or building zones. Clay shapes your walls and molds. Sand helps form your foundations - literally.

Iron and jade represent a step forward in your development. Iron is mined from specialized nodes and, once smelted, becomes the backbone of advanced tools, machines, and structural supports. Jade, rare and beautiful, is used in your most refined decorative creations - statues, ornaments, and architectural highlights.

Out in the wilds, you’ll also find flax, rice, dye herbs, and edible plants. Some grow freely and can be gathered. Others can be cultivated from seed in your fields.



These plants support your village in more ways than one. They bring flavor to your dishes, variety to your diet, and color to your world.

And if you're after something different? Grab your rod and head to the nearest stream - fishing offers a quieter rhythm to gathering, and a unique food resource for your next meal.

With all these materials flowing in, proper storage and usage become essential. That’s where warehouses, workshops, and production chains come into play.

You’ll need to decide how to use each material: components for tools, ingredients for recipes, or inputs for crafting. Some are renewable, others rare. Stockpiling is one option - but smart usage and planning will always reward you in the long run.

[h2]Built from the Ground Up[/h2]

In Chinese Frontiers, gathering is something that keeps everything else going. From fueling your workshops to feeding your people - it makes growth possible and monuments rise.

So next time you swing your pickaxe or cast your line, remember - every resource brings you one step closer to something greater.

Another day begins in Chinese Frontiers, and while construction might be at the core of your experience, it’s far from the only thing on your to-do list. Life in your village is full of rhythm and variety - woven together by more than just bricks and blueprints.

There’s a whole world to engage with - gathering resources, farming, fishing, cooking, and crafting. These daily routines are what truly bring your world to life. And in Chinese Frontiers, every task counts.

[h2]More than just building[/h2]

Building is important - but it’s just one part of the bigger picture. Your day might start deep in the forest, chopping bamboo or collecting edible plants. Maybe you’ll head into the mountains to mine for stone, iron, or jade. Or perhaps you’ll cast a line into a quiet stream and bring home a fresh catch.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀  ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 

Exploration plays just as big a role. You’ll venture through winding caves, lush forests, valleys, and other remote corners of China. Each environment offers new sights, resources, and challenges. Whether it's a sunlit rice field or a fog-drenched mountainside, every area invites you to explore further.

And back home, there’s work to be done. You’ll tend to fields, care for pigs and chickens, and make sure everything keeps moving. Your crops - like rice and other regional plants - support not just your household, but the entire community.

[h2]Create, Cook, Decorate[/h2]

Once your resources are gathered, it’s time to get creative. In your workshops, stone is shaped, tools are crafted, and iron is forged. Over in the kitchen, regional dishes are prepared - meals that do more than restore strength. They’re a part of life and a way to care for those around you.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀  ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 

It’s because the village is yours to shape. Lanterns and statues, banners and bells, carved gates and sculpted figures - all can be placed, refined, and arranged to reflect your style. Decoration is more than beauty - it’s the identity!

[h2]Work together, grow together[/h2]

As your settlement expands, teamwork becomes essential. Assign workers to key tasks, plan infrastructure, and build a village that reflects your vision. Homes, roads, workshops, storage buildings - they all take shape through careful coordination.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀  ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 

And then there’s the Great Wall. Monumental in both size and meaning, it demands everything you’ve learned - planning, patience, and skill. It’s not just another building project. It’s your legacy, carved in stone.

[h2]Build Your Own Routine[/h2]

So whether you’re decorating a lantern, harvesting rice, forging tools, or overseeing a towering wall section - it all starts with rising and working.

It’s time to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty - today we’re talking about tools. Breaking rocks, raising towers, chopping wood… We’ve designed a tool system that’s practical, immersive, and that evolves with your progress and craftsmanship.

[h2]Tools with Purpose[/h2]

Every construction begins with the perfect tool, right? But not all tools are created equal. As your village expands and your workshops become more advanced, so does the quality of your gear.

Each tool in the game comes in three distinct variations:

Primitive - crafted by hand with basic materials, ideal for just getting started.
Improved Stone - built in an upgraded stonemason’s workshop, offering a great balance of durability and efficiency.
Metal - forged in a metallurgical workshop, these are top-tier tools built for longevity and heavy use.

This layered system lets you scale your tool usage with your evolving infrastructure.

[h2]Made by Hand…[/h2]

Let’s take a closer look at the essential tools that will accompany you from the very first swing. Each one has been designed to serve a specific role in construction, gathering, or farming - and they just feel great to use.

The hammer is your go-to building companion. You know, bamboo scaffolding, sturdy wooden frames, and reinforced metal supports… It’s the tool you’ll return to again and again. Expect to carry one at all times - it’s practically an extension of your arm.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀   ⠀  ⠀ 

When the forest calls, the hatchet answers. Ideal for chopping wood and bamboo, it’s an indispensable tool for those moments when nature becomes your materials supplier.

Let’s not forget the shovel! Great for collecting sand and clay, but also a vital tool when it comes to shaping terrain and laying stable foundations. It blurs the line between excavation and construction in the best possible way.

Need to dig into stone or uncover valuable resources? The pickaxe is your best friend when it comes to mining! This tool delivers strength where it matters most - it’s a must-have when the terrain gets tough.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀  ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 

[h2]…Built to Last[/h2]

Some tools go beyond raw function - they bring precision and care.

The hoe keeps your village thriving. Farming may not be as flashy as tower construction, but it’s no less vital. With this tool, you’ll prepare soil, cultivate crops, and keep your settlement fed and flourishing.

Oh, and the trowel, the quiet hero of clay-based architecture. Used for shaping walls and forming molds for metal casting, this humble tool ensures every edge is smooth and every joint secure.

Finally, the chisel is where that craftsmanship really shines. Whether you're working with refined stone, limestone, jade, or sculpting decorative elements for your village, this tool is all about detail and finesse

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀  ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 

[h2]Crafted with Care[/h2]

We designed the tool system in Chinese Frontiers to make every action meaningful. Choosing the right tool is about feeling connected to the task at hand. Whether you’re laying the first stone or harvesting your first crop, we want every move to feel rewarding.

We’ll be sharing more soon, including closer looks and gameplay footage of tools in action.

It’s time for another deep dive into the world of Chinese Frontiers! Today, we’re focusing on something that brings our game to life like no static image ever could - animations.

Whether it’s the precise strike of a hammer, the rhythmic sway of a worker carrying timber, or the effortless motion of a master builder at work, animations transform a collection of pixels into living, breathing characters.

[h2]Animations Matter[/h2]

In Chinese Frontiers, we want every movement to feel as real as the structures you build.

Once you step into the world of the game, the way your character interacts with the environment should feel immersive and authentic. Each footstep, shift of weight, and careful placement of a brick is designed to reflect real-world motion - because details matter.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ 

To achieve this, we’ve dedicated countless hours to refining how our characters move. Whether they’re lifting heavy materials, chiseling stone, or navigating the construction site, we've made sure that their actions look natural and true to life.

[h2]Bringing Motion to Life[/h2]

Realism in animation doesn’t happen by accident - it needs precision, observation, and the right tools. That’s why we’ve turned to motion capture technology, allowing us to record actual human movements and transfer them directly into the game. Cause you know, capturing real-world actions brings fluidity and realism to every motion.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ 

We’re not just talking about the big picture. The smallest details matter, too. The way a worker shifts his grip on a tool, the small misstep when carrying a heavy load, and even the subtle shift in posture - these are the moments that make the environment feel truly alive.

[h2]The Road to Realism[/h2]

Animations in Chinese Frontiers aren’t just for show - they’re what make the game feel real. Our goal is to make sure that every movement tells a story, every action feels grounded, and every task carries a sense of weight and effort.

And we can’t wait to show you more!
