Town location is very important

At the beginning, you choose the location of your settlement. This is an extremely important decision for the initial phase of the game. Try to make sure it is near water, so that you can easily send out fishermen and trade. On top of this, make sure you have as many raw materials around you as possible. The green resource points you see on the map will help you do this. Look around for fish and fertile soil.

Satisfaction affects birth rates

Once you have provided for the basic needs of the population, you cannot relax. Next, you should focus on making them happy. Satisfaction largely influences citizens' stress, and this has a direct impact on birth rates.

First buildings should be carefully planned

It is advisable to build several houses at the very beginning. In addition, ensure a steady supply of wood. Additionally, build well and fields as early as possible. Among the first buildings should also be a school, thanks to it you will gain extra Tech EXP and your citizens will be more efficient in their work.

You never know when a disease will strike

Always be ready to heal your citizens. You never know when a disease will want to make its home in your settlement. Especially if you receive immigrants who may not be in the greatest health.

Remember to trade

The map on which you start your adventure does not have all the plants, animals etc. Furthermore, as a result of various disasters, you may end up lacking various things. Therefore, it is worth being open to trade, even if you think you are self-sufficient.

Houses should be close to the workplace

It is worth remembering that your employees need to get to their place of work. This is especially important in winter, when temperatures drop and citizens can freeze. In such situations, a long walk to the workplace is dangerous.

Get seeds and livestock from the map

Seeds and livestock in the game are very expensive, especially this bothers you at the beginning of the game. However, you can get them for free if you are observant. How to do this is described here:

Don't forget to develop technology

In the heat of building, it can be easy to accumulate a lot of technology points. It is advisable to keep spending them right away on the technologies you need most. At the same time, remember that some technologies need other technologies to be useful. For example, you often won't be able to construct an unlocked building if you don't have the right materials, which you will acquire through other researches. Material Recycling (Construction), Delivery and Quicker Porter (Logistics) are worth looking into at first.
