Amber caves for dragons#
Amber caves are essential for dragon princes who breed dragons in the land of clones. Dragons find hidden caches of gold, which accumulates in the caves over time and requires regular cleaning. Dragons can only breed in amber caves, so if a pregnant female is present, it’s important to ensure space is available in advance. If there is no space at the time of the birth of a young dragon, the adults may eat the newborn. To ensure stable breeding, it’s necessary to monitor the capacity and condition of the caves.

Construction#
Construction of amber caves is only available to princes with a sufficiently developed principality and clones with at least bourgeois status. Construction always begins with a level 1 cave, followed by gradual upgrades to level 5.

To begin construction, 30% of each resource is required, excluding those that are completely depleted at the start. During construction, hired workers consume 5 units of amber and 1 unit of each of the other resources daily.
Repair#
Amber caves require monthly maintenance to restore the amber. Without maintenance, the cave loses its beneficial power, the dragons become agitated, and stop feeding, as feeding irritated individuals is dangerous. If a dragon fasts for five consecutive days, the risk of an escape increases, which can occur within the next 10 days.

| Cave level | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |

The game has an automatic repair feature for amber caves, but there is no automatic purchase of resources for repairs.
