Building the FrontierVille Ponderosa Lodge: Everything you need to know

With the dreams of a big new house on the horizon in FrontierVille, it would help to know how to put this thing together. First of all, you need to start the new Ponderosa Lodge Goals that have yet to be released as of this writing. Luckily for you, we have all the details on how to throw together this new castle after the break.

After you take on the first Goal of the series, you will have to purchase the Ponderosa Lodge from the Market, which will cost just 950 coins and 20 Wood in the Buildings section. However, this new building cannot be finished until the Ponderosa Lodge Goals are complete, a first for FrontierVille.

Place the building anyway, just to get it out of the way. Then, give it seven good whacks at 1 Energy and 10 Wood per whack. Once that's through, the familiar building menu will appear with six item requirements:

    20 Elbow Grease
    10 Gas Lamp
    10 Insulation
    15 Rivets
    15 Banister
    15 Adobe Bricks


The first three items can be found by posting request on your Facebook wall through the building menu. The next two, the Rivets and Banisters, can be requested from friends directly. Finally, the Adobe Bricks are part of your reward for completing the final Ponderosa Lodge Goal. It's a strange approach to introducing content in Zynga games, which may turn some heads for gating new features through Goals. We'll see in, oh, about a few hours.
