The best bread is made from only four ingredients: flour, salt, water and fire. Sounds like a creation myth? Or maybe a magic system? Water and fire are just that. Flour is earth. Salt is a little tricky, but you could say it is fallen star fragments or something like that.

(I don’t know if there’s any culture that has that exact thing, but I know some have something similar. So check before you go any further, I guess.)

For medieval fantasy worldbuilding, playing Final Frontier has made me realize that on top of thinking about what a town primarily exports, it's also interesting to think about what it can't produce locally and must import.

If they don't have an iron mine, they have to import it or tools and weapons.

If they don't have clay, their buildings might be wooden. If they have lots of clay, their buildings might use bricks.

Most luxury goods have to be imported.

see the world beyond our Solsystem before they die and settling new worlds to take their core values of love, compassion and a new utopian level of cooperation to the stars to create a new home for humanity.
They had the best tech available to a collective of all kind of enthusiastic humans. Sadly no one knows what really happened after they past Pluto. Many spooky stories and myths are told to this day 200+ years later.

Need some tech inspiration for your second-world fantasy stories?

Within Ukraine, the Hutsul people finish their wool blankets with a valylo. A Valyo is a river-powered wooden washing machine, which will beat the blankets until they are soft and lose their sheep-smell.

Deck Lights (also called prism lights) were prisms of glass that were inserted into the deck of a ship, in order to provide lighting below. 💎

They would be flat on top to be flush with the deck itself, but underneath, they were made to diffuse the light in all directions.

Since historical lighting often involved fire, having an alternative for wooden ships was important. (🧵⬇ 1/2)

Example of tech you can use in your medieval-inspired #fantasy novels: treadwheel cranes!

Treadwheel cranes would help lift stones onto the wall while building a castle, or could help lift and swing cargo onto the dock. Many of the structures around today were possible thanks to the treadwheel crane, but despite this, they are rarely seen in fantasy media.

Tech you can use while #writing your medieval-inspired #fantasy novels: Flour Mills.

While many may have used grinding stones, mills had their importance too. They were owned by whoever was in power in the towns, and those using it would have to pay a "tax" in a portion of their grain.

Some of these mills were animal powered, but others were windmills or watermills.
