An efficient village layout is crucial for minimizing travel time for your villagers and maximizing productivity.
- Centralize Production: Place your Woodshed, Excavation Shed, Hunting Lodge, and Food Storage relatively close to each other and to resource nodes (forests, mines).
- Food & Water: Ensure your Food Storage and Well are easily accessible to all villagers.
- Housing: Build houses in clusters, but leave enough space for future expansion and pathways. Consider placing houses closer to their assigned workplaces.
- Market Stall: Place your Market Stall in a visible and easily accessible location for traders.
- Roads: While not strictly necessary for AI pathing, building roads can improve aesthetics and help you navigate your growing settlement.
- Expansion: Always plan for future expansion. Don't cram buildings too tightly together, as you'll eventually need more houses and specialized production buildings.
A well-planned village reduces wasted time and keeps your villagers happy and productive.
