They are the first column of tech in Elementals to unlock. To find your sentient boost, click your Main Hall relics tab. The first item on 2nd row is your boosted (T1+1).

Looking at the highest ranked city under your name through ElvenStats, you appear to be on chapter 7. You've got a way to go and it only gets slower the higher you ascend. Maybe you'll get there in about six to nine months if you speedrun it?How do I unlock sentient goods?
By pop you mean population? Also, I'm boosted in row 1 as planks, silk and dust. On row 2 for sentients, marble, crystal and gems. Does that mean I have to build manufactories for marble, crystal and gems?They are the first column of tech in Elementals to unlock. To find your sentient boost, click your Main Hall relics tab.

Thanks Zoof.Looking at the highest ranked city under your name through ElvenStats, you appear to be on chapter 7. You've got a way to go and it only gets slower the higher you ascend. Maybe you'll get there in about six to nine months if you speedrun it?
Or, to actually answer the question, reach the listed chapter and research the associated manufactory upgrade within that chapter. The tiers and chapters are:
T4: Chapter 12 (Elementals)
T5: Chapter 13 (Amuni)
T6: Chapter 14 (Constructs)
Or I could not post this because omg I didn't realize someone else answered this, but gosh darn it I already did the lookup and everything and I like my cheapo tabular thing
LOL good onemanufactOry
You don't need to worry about sentient goods for a long time. They come into play when factories can be upgraded to a minimum of lvl 24 and that research isn't available until Chapter 12. I'm the exact same boosts as you, so your sentient boosts will be the same as mine, too!I am in chapter 7. Marble, Crystal and Gems/
Yes as you get closer to each chapter you will want the required MFG to be at level 23 and after you open the specific tech you can upgrade to level 24 and make new goodies.By pop you mean population? Also, I'm boosted in row 1 as planks, silk and dust. On row 2 for sentients, marble, crystal and gems. Does that mean I have to build manufactories for marble, crystal and gems?
Yes, you need a lot of population to support the addition of lvl 24 manufactOries. Like the others have said, you don't need to worry about it quite yet if you're still in chap 7. I'm trying to build 2 of each before I reach the chapter that needs them. I'm still in post-FA mental unwinding of not really wanting to deal with my city so I'm just building things with my free space and putting them in inventory.By pop you mean population? Also, I'm boosted in row 1 as planks, silk and dust. On row 2 for sentients, marble, crystal and gems. Does that mean I have to build manufactories for marble, crystal and gems?

Thanks a lot for your help with this. Much appreciated!You don't need to worry about sentient goods for a long time.

I started working on building my first boosted sentient factory (Steel factory-produces platinum) late in Ch 11 Halflings. I only built one (until ~Ch15 I think and I added another then), but moving slowly through chapters is ok with me. Also, my cities are fighting cities, so I don't have the resource demands of diplomacy/catering/negotiating. As I reduced some of my halfling guest bldgs, I just put out a steel and worked on getting it up to lvl 23. If you do it earlier and have teleport spells, you can always put it away until you need it. You'll need to get into Ch12, unlock the upgrades for the T1 factories, upgrade to lvl 24, then unlock the Sentient boost before it's worth trying to make the platinum anyway. Seeds are too rare at that point to waste on non-boosted production.
For the 2nd sentients in Ch13 (Scrolls-produces Ink) and the 3rd ones in Ch 14 (Elixir-produces Soap) I built 2 of each of them due to the increased demand. Since that repeat of getting into the chapter, unlocking the upgrades, unlocking the boosts happens, there's still time to build up before you can really begin to produce sentient goods.
I recently started this chapter, and thought 1 boosted sentient factory would be enough, but soon realized that a) the costs in sentient goods to complete research AND build settlement buildings was so high, it was going to take too long to collect enough, and b) I was going to need a lot of my boosted goods to even be able to trade for the other 2. End result? I'm building a 2nd sentient factory right now in order to double my output of boosted goods for trade.I'm in chapter 13. My city has 1 sentient manufactory. Should I build another, how many?
