Dovecote

3AgricultureAgricultural

Description

Also known as pigeon lofts, these stone or timber towers sheltered flocks of doves whose meat, eggs, and feathers were valuable commodities. Above all, their droppings provided a potent fertilizer, rich in nitrates and vital for enriching the fields. This structure is also key to the production of early gunpowder (with Salpeter Works being the only other possible structure), as the guano collected within was an important source of saltpeter. Saltpeter, sulfur and coal are all required to produce gunpowder.
