# Crafting Buildings
Players can create Crafting Buildings to place on their personal islands (not Parrot's Perch) and use them to craft rare items asynchronously!
There are 3 Crafting Buildings (the Loom, the Workshop, and the Foundry) and each corresponding to a line of resources and corresponding Skill:
* The Loom is tied to the Harvesting Skill, develops the Weaving Skill, and utilizes Cotton, Flax, and Silk
* The Workshop is tied to the Gathering Skill, develops the Craftsmanship Skill, and utilizes Pine Wood, Oak Wood, and Fathom Wood
* The Foundry is tied to the Mining Skill, develops the Metallurgy Skill, and utilizes Iron Ore, Copper Ore, and Dread Ore
The more you use your buildings, the more you can increase your Crafting Skills and, eventually, upgrade the buildings to unlock even more valuable Crafting recipes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.piratenation.game/learn/the-game/resources-and-crafting/crafting-buildings.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
