Hi everyone!
Please be respectful towards each player and our moderators. Respectful communication and constructive feedback are key to helping improve and gain clarification with Beta’s new features.
As
Kersepitje says, there is a specific number of Ensembles you will need to place in your town. Their Resources are needed to be able to upgrade the Harmony Grove portal. (
Requirement Resources being: Rhythm, Accompaniment and Melody)
Regarding the Wiki site, for some clarification, when it says,
“Note: Requirements are not stackable, this means that when you use the Requirements to upgrade the Harmony Grove, they "get lost" and you have to build more Requirements Buildings to continue upgrading your Harmony Grove!”, where it is saying the Requirements (Rhythm, Melody and Accompaniment) “get lost”, it is not saying that the Ensemble building is now useless. It is saying that those Resource in the Ensemble building have been used for the current portal upgrade.
Once those Required Resources have been used for a Harmony Grove portal upgrade, the Ensemble buildings themselves will still need to be in your town, as they are now basically a part (extension) of the upgrade to your portal.
Should you teleport or sell these used Ensembles, you will need to build/place them back into your town to upgrade your Harmony Grove further.
The Wiki also says that Requirement buildings
can be sold and rebuilt. This is a true statement in and of itself. It is not saying to sell your Ensembles. It is stating that should you choose to sell them for any reason, you can rebuild again, at any time.
You will need to use Ascended Goods and other resources to build your Ensemble settlement buildings, so keep this in mind when planning out your layout for this chapter.
It is similar to the Amuni chapter with the Violin Maker, Flute Maker and Drum Maker buildings needing to be placed next to your Goods buildings. Added to that, it is also similar to the Constructs chapter’s settlement layout for your Violin Ensemble, Flute Ensemble and Drum Ensemble buildings connecting to your Harmony Grove portal. In this case, you will need to build all of the Ensembles and keep them after their resources have been used for each upgrade, up to a level 4.
Side Notes:
~If you remove any used Ensembles before your next portal upgrade, your Harmony Grove portal will subtract the building from your “Total:” (Rhythm, Accompaniment or Melody) and your “Available:” count in the Upgrade tab of your Harmony Grove overview (yes, it will show as -1, if applicable, etc.).
~You can see how many of each Melody, Accompaniment and Rhythm are needed for the next portal upgrade in the first tab of your Portal’s pop up window.
Hope this helps a bit more! Thanks for everyone’s feedback and please continue to do so!
