Super fun game! Spent a whole day on it then accidentally wiped my 350+ population town lol. RNG can really break your run early on if your pier doesn't give you island pieces, or if you get stuck with like five lumberyards when you don't have a single tree.
Wish there were clearer initial instructions about how lumberyards/quarries worked and stacked (e.g. you can't clear them without a tree nearby). I liked how creating enclosed ponds let you place piers freely without the extra gunk.
