Colony management is the core
The residents you manage are mice. This is not a guide to choosing between cat and mouse army campaigns and producing soldiers.

|---|---|---|
| Residents | Food, housing, cold and dissatisfaction | Check basic living needs before adding workplaces |
| Production | Inputs, workers and storage destinations | Read why production stopped before adding buildings |
| Logistics | Roads, stairs and carrying distance | Check connections between gathering sites and storage |

Divide initial goals into smaller steps
Early on, aim for a working resource cycle with a small population before completing a large city.
- Place an Export Dock on an island with easy access to trees and berries.
- Choose the immovable Central Warehouse's position and create routes to housing and workplaces.
- Arrange food, timber and homes, considering resources for the next tax bill separately.
- Check residents' job suitability and distinguish assignments requiring education.
- If output is insufficient, check transport and input shortages before adding workplaces.
