🎮 Core Concept

On Day 5 of the first summer, players are invited to purchase a newly cleared tract of land next to the highway. This land will become the base of a fully player-managed town, where you can:

• 🏗️ Build buildings using prefabs
• 👥 Recruit and manage a growing villager population
• 💼 Assign work and automate production chain
• 🍎 Fulfill town needs such as food, medical, entertainment and defense
• 🌟Create thriving new communities in remote locations

⚙️ System Overview

✅ Requirements and unlocking conditions

• Starting on the 5th of summer of Year 1
• 50,000g to buy new land
• After a 7-day clearing phase, the town can be reached via the bus network from Central Station

🔧 System to be implemented soon

• Disease and wound systems (treatment through clinic)
• Happiness system (affected by food, entertainment, medical care, safety, etc.)
• Guard patrol system (guards protect the town and escort miners)

🔄 Game Loop

• Purchase land after meeting the requirements
• Build the city hall and generate the first batch of villagers
• Build housing and functional buildings (farms, clinics, taverns, etc.)
• Assign jobs to villagers and observe them maintaining the town independently
• Expand production, manage resource chains, and maintain happiness and safety
• Create a prosperous second economy parallel to the farm

👨‍🌾 Villager roles and automation

Each building type corresponds to a job role. Once assigned, villagers will automatically perform the duties associated with their building:

• **Water Carrier**: Provides water from wells to up to 10 villagers
• **Farmer**: take care of the greenhouse
• **Doctor**: heals wounds and restores villagers' health

🏘️ Initial building type

• **Town Hall** - must be built first, only one can be built, 2-3 villagers will be generated after completion
• **Huts** - Villagers are automatically assigned housing; vacant huts may attract new residents overnight
• **Villager Greenhouse** - Produces food for villagers, 4 different crops can be set
• **Clinic** - assign villagers to become doctors and treat injured villagers
• **Water Well** - Produces water for villagers (each well supplies up to 10 people)
