Night in the hollow
Tap trees, rocks and berries inside the firelight to gather them by hand. The dark is off-limits.
Spend what you gather on buildings from the tray. Each one carries its own light, so every building you place opens up more of the map.
Buildings work off what sits next to them — a woodcutter surrounded by trees out-earns one standing in a clearing. Don't strip the forest bare.
Raise the Great Hall to finish the settlement.
