What Is the Sanctum?
Direct answerThe Sanctum is the game-build name for your player base — what the Steam page calls the stronghold. It carries 74 build-palette pieces, 10 upgradable ally facilities and every ally you recruit.
Same system, two names
- Official Steam copy frames it as building your stronghold — farms, quarries and structures.
- The current game build (0.107.x) names the base area The Sanctum.
- Both words describe the same layer; this site uses Stronghold and notes the Sanctum name so searchers find either.

Why the Sanctum matters for romance
The Sanctum is where recruited allies live and work. Facility upgrades cost materials and tie to conversations that reveal more of each ally's story — the investment input of the relationship loop. See how relationships work.
The loop runs on numbers
Chicken coops, quarries and mills produce on timers; facility upgrades list exact material costs. The build economy and the relationship economy meet in the same rooms.
