Expand Dragon Pits to Increase Regional Karakuri Capacity
Dragon Pit upgrades increase a region’s allowance for a specific Dragon Karakuri resource, letting you place more of the structures that use it.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Dragon Pits marked by gray Flame symbols on the map; interact with a pit in the region where you need more capacity.
Use a Dragon Pit when a regional Dragon Karakuri resource cap is preventing a planned build. Each pit displays its resource type and the materials required for its next upgrade. Gather those listed materials in the world, return to that pit, and confirm the resulting cap in the Dragon Karakuri menu before building. Capacity is regional and resource-specific, so identify the actual bottleneck first.
Have materials matching the selected pit’s displayed upgrade cost.
Know which Dragon Karakuri resource type and regional cap is limiting your build.
Open the map and locate a gray Flame symbol for a Dragon Pit in the region you want to build in.
Travel to the pit and interact with it to inspect its resource type and current upgrade cost.
Open the Dragon Karakuri menu and identify which resource cap is blocking the planned structure.
Gather the materials named by that pit’s displayed cost while exploring the world.
Return to the same pit and submit the required materials to enlarge its capacity.
Check the Dragon Karakuri menu again to confirm the relevant cap increased.
If another region or resource type is still limiting construction, inspect its pit and cost separately.
Farming tips
Use the pit’s displayed cost as your gathering checklist; material costs can differ by pit and upgrade.
Upgrade the region and resource type that match the structures you intend to place.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat the inspect, gather, and submit loop for further capacity as needed. Later upgrades cost more materials, so reassess the cap and next displayed cost each time.
Common mistakes
Gathering materials without checking the selected pit’s cost first: inspect the requirement before setting out.
Expecting one pit to raise every regional or resource cap: verify the region and resource type shown.
Spending materials on capacity unrelated to your planned build: check the Dragon Karakuri menu to identify the bottleneck.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the intended structures fit within the relevant regional cap or when another resource or region becomes the limiting factor.
