| Problem | First fix | Read next |
|---|---|---|
| I do not know what to build first. | Open the Beginner Guide and follow the opening checklist. | Beginner Guide |
| Families stopped arriving. | Check whether average happiness is below 60%. | Happiness Guide |
| Food, Apparel, Leisure, or Public Service is red. | Match the category to the correct building type. | Happiness Guide |
| Home or work decoration is low. | Decorate the exact area: homes for home decoration, shops/warehouses for work decoration. | Happiness Guide |
| Population density is hurting happiness. | Add open space, parks, or cleaner blocks before more housing. | Happiness Guide |
| Artisans or Bourgeoisie are unhappy. | Check luxury support, public service, density, and tax pressure. | Happiness Guide |
| Market stall says not enough workers. | Click the building and assign workers from the labour panel. | Workers Guide |
| No workers are available. | Reassign workers from low-priority jobs before adding more houses. | Workers Guide |
| Research is progressing but services fail. | Move workers back to food, warehouses, or buildings fixing red happiness categories. | Workers Guide |
| Shop is placed but not serving houses. | Check workers first, then warehouse support and service coverage. | Warehouse Guide |
| Warehouse can’t transport to this building. | Check distance, roads, warehouse workers, and transport capacity. | Warehouse Guide |
| No path connected to station. | Redraw the road from station to warehouse and repaint suspicious road gaps. | Warehouse Guide |
| Duplicate building warning appears. | Do not spam copies; one house connects to each building type once. | Warehouse Guide |

| Winery, Bakery, Pub, or crop building is not working. | Check exact crop inputs, granary support, and farmer happiness. | Farming Guide |

Read this first if you are still learning how the opening systems connect.
Your first goal is not to build a huge town. Your first goal is to build a small town that works: houses, road access, food, workers, warehouse support, decorations, happiness, traits, research, and building movement.
Read this when families stop arriving or a red/yellow category is dragging down growth.
The Happiness Guide explains the 60% arrival rule, Food, Apparel, Leisure, Home Decoration, Work Decoration, Public Service, Population Density, Luxury pressure, and higher-class tax problems.
Read this when buildings are placed but demand is not being fulfilled.
The Workers Guide covers not enough workers, no workers available, shop staffing, warehouse workers, research labour, Extra Warehouse Workers, normal workers vs Artisans, and late-game labour pressure.
Read this when buildings look close enough but still fail to serve the area you expected.

Read this when your base city is stable and you are ready for hotels, scenic routes, and Rocemarée.

| Step | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Build houses | Families need homes before they become your worker base. |
| Connect roads | Roads keep the first block readable and usable. |
| Add food stalls | Houses alone do not give enough happiness. |
| Assign workers | Stalls do not work properly without labour. |
| Build a warehouse | Shops need warehouse support to sell reliably. |
| Staff the warehouse | Transport also needs workers. |
| Improve happiness | New families need average happiness above 60%. |
| Build Research Center | Research unlocks stronger services and upgrades. |
| Expand slowly | More houses also create more demand. |
Use this as the basic opening order. For the full explanation, open the Beginner Guide.
| Layer | Best use |
|---|---|
| Belvau | Main base for housing, food, workers, warehouses, happiness, and research. |
| Fontebrac | Farming, crops, granaries, crop-powered buildings, and Farm Points. |
| Rocemarée | Tourism, hotels, scenic routes, ruins, monuments, and late-game destination planning. |
For crop input requirements, Farmer Residence setup, Winery, Bakery, Pub, and Farm Surface planning, use the Farming Guide.
For hotels, tourist routes, Rocemarée ruins, Lighthouse, Obelisk, and Art Atelier rewards, use the Tourism Guide.
If you are new, start with the Beginner Guide.
If families stopped arriving or your average happiness keeps dropping, read the Happiness Guide.
If buildings need workers, shops are inactive, or warehouses cannot keep up, read the Workers Guide.
If a service looks close but still does not help the right houses, read the Warehouse Guide.
If you are ready for Fontebrac, crops, granaries, and Farm Points, read the Farming Guide.
If your base town is stable and you want hotels, scenic routes, Rocemarée, and late-game tourism, read the Tourism Guide.
If you recognize your problem, use the tables above. If you are not sure where to start, the Beginner Guide covers the most common early mistakes.
Start with the Beginner Guide if you are still learning the opening chain: houses, roads, food stalls, workers, warehouse support, decorations, happiness, and research. If your town already has a specific problem, use the diagnosis table in this hub.
Check average happiness first. People only arrive at the station if your total average happiness is 60% or above. Use the Happiness Guide if you need to fix food, apparel, leisure, decoration, public service, luxury, density, or tax pressure.
A shop needs workers, warehouse support, and a useful connection to the houses it should serve. Use the Warehouse Guide if the problem is warehouse transport, no path connected to station, duplicate buildings, or road layout.
Do not only add more houses. First check whether workers are tied up in research, warehouses, low-priority shops, or class-specific jobs. Use the Workers Guide for labour priority and recovery steps.
Start farming after Belvau is stable and Fontebrac unlocks. Use the Farming Guide for Farmer Residences, crop selection, granaries, Farm Points, Winery, Bakery, and crop input requirements.
Start tourism after your base town and farming layer are stable. Use the Tourism Guide for hotels, tour routes, scenic routes, Rocemarée, Lighthouse, Obelisk, Bourgeoisie tourism, and Art Atelier rewards.
