| Town Hall | Not boxed in; can grow on at least one side |
| Water | First housing has river, Well, or Water Tank access planned |
| Housing | Compact block, not scattered across the map |
| Warehouse | Direct road, near production, not hidden behind homes |
| Food | Source, processing, storage, and housing sit on a readable route |
| Wood | Logging and sawmill can reach storage without crossing every home |
| Roads | One main spine, short branches, no early decorative loops |

Keep the blueprint loose. Current playtest-era guidance should be confirmed in the September 2 build, especially exact footprints, snapping behavior, and service ranges.
Red Flags
| Red flag | Fix before expanding |
|---|---|
| Every route passes through housing | Move storage or add a cleaner road |
| Homes are far from water | Add water support or move the housing block |
| Warehouse is decorative | Put it back on a working road |
| Food source is isolated | Connect it to storage and housing |
| No open side remains | Reserve expansion before adding more homes |
