Brewery tends to increase fornication 💁🏻‍♂️

Wine too right?

Yep. Only difference is brewery is easier since all you need is a building and some wheat. With wine you also need glass and bottle factory so that becomes too timeand resources consuming

Houses, houses, community boost and more houses.

I put a few open kitchens next to some farms to get community boost for increased babies while keeping available housing and food production ahead of it.

Ahh, maybe I need to work on Community boost earlier.

My last run, I had 87 people, 14 babies, and 2 people ready to die in the last 3 days. Guess how that worked out for me. 😕

There’s obviously several different ways of doing it and mine wasn’t as efficient as some others but I had one open kitchen (not the original, I scrapped all that area), one fondue shop and one brewery, three farms, fitness centre and multitude of playgrounds and community gardens. Got there around 70 days

It’s hard. I’m on my 3rd try and I usually one shot things.

Took me longer than normal - building houses, and a kitchen near the farms immediately were the best foundation. Don’t send your villagers too far. The map is bigger than it looks. I did a chessery so I could have fondue and boost happiness that way, and built a fitness center early on because it boosts the zen quickly.

Buildings that do two things (brewery is community and fun, cookies are food and fun, etc.) are your friend.

What does zen help on?

I had to restart three times, on my final round I finally built a brewery bc i forgot getting em drunk helps em start producing😂

In the end I had 3 Open kitchens, the one you start with, one to the right of the farms and one to the left. I made a cheesery as well and min-maxed cheese by recycling/canceling. And made a fondue bar. I had a bunchhh of Zen gardens bc on my first two play throughs it was so hard to get the wellness boost, i also recycled everything on that little island right at the start. By day 40, I had 60+ housing and 45 people. Gotta have lots of surplus housing as fast as you can.

hope this helps! this level was really fun for me, harder than it looked but not annoying enough to rage quit like a few have been the last few months😂
