Buildings named officially
Town Hall, roads, homes and Saloon appear in the current Steam description. These are examples rather than a complete catalog. Building costs, footprints and unlock levels are not established by the source material.
Production categories
Steam describes food, building materials, tools and luxury goods, while publisher material also discusses local resource production. This supports a category map, not a recipe table or an efficiency ranking.
Settlers and amenities
The official descriptions connect food, shelter and amenities with settler satisfaction. Watch the current game's own indicators when playing. We cannot give a numerical happiness target or assert what happens at a specific threshold.
Mayor and sheriff
Earlier publisher announcements name mayors and sheriffs. The current Steam page refers more generally to assigning citizens to roles. Specific bonuses or a best candidate are not verified for the present Early Access build.
How the systems connect
Buildings provide places to live and make goods; goods and amenities support residents; residents are central to growing settlements. That is a conceptual map of official features, not a required in-game sequence.
