Survive the harsh winter
With new lands come new challenges. You must prepare for the coming winter, store up all the food & water you require, and do what鈥檚 needed to keep your settlement alive! With time, perhaps, you can learn to conquer the cold and keep your economy running year-round.
Manage a complex economy
Your logistical & economic skills are essential to plan out your settlement successfully. All resources will need to be moved across a complex web of depots to be used by your buildings (there are no magic central inventories here!), and placing your production chains too far apart could be the difference between the settlement鈥檚 life & death. You should build new houses to grow your settlement, but beware of hidden costs! If you can鈥檛 meet the needs of your population, your settlement may pay the ultimate price! And the threat of the coming winter is always present.
Recover forgotten knowledge
The lost Library of this land is why you settled here. It holds the key to everything you鈥檝e lost, and you will set yourself to the difficult task of learning all its secrets.

Balancing your short-term needs with long-term planning is paramount to your survival.
