Welcome to Western Settler

1850. A river, some scrub, and $20,000. Build a town.

Lay Dirt Trails, then drag out rectangles of Homestead, Main Street and Ranch & Mine beside them.
Ranches grow into farms: fences go up, a barn is raised, then fields are ploughed and harvested.
Zones need water: build a Well (better near the river). Water flows through roads, Ditches and touching zones.
Cross the river with the Bridge tool (G): drag it from one bank to the other.
Cobblestone costs 10× but homes and shops on it are far fancier and pay ~10× tax.
A Sheriff keeps lawlessness down. At 1,000 people the railroad and docks arrive.
As the town grows, new buildings open up in the build menu. The townsfolk will ask for them: build what they want within a year or folk start leaving. Past alerts are under ✉ Messages.
Move around: drag with the right or middle mouse button, hold Shift and drag, or turn on ✋ Move and drag. Also WASD / arrows. Zoom: wheel. Pause: Space.
Tap or drag with one finger to build. Two fingers move the map; pinch to zoom. Tap ✋ Move to look around and check tiles without building.
