Follow a single production decision
Open your chosen business and inspect a product before assigning workers. Identify its ingredients, what is already in storage and which inputs need transport. This is an inspection sequence, not a claim that a particular recipe is the most profitable. The official goods diary shows why intermediate products can create another dependency.
Watch the handoffs
Materials must reach the workshop; finished goods need a storefront or cart destination. Inspect the cart’s integrity and destination before sending it. The July demo patch adds task repetition, but stopping an ongoing task can lose progress. Repetition is useful only when the required inputs remain available.
Give your family and office plans room
The business diary places full citizenship before initial political applications. The dynasty diary explains why a successor matters beyond the first character. Keep these as separate objectives rather than spending every available coin on the next workshop improvement.
Keep a small session record
Note your build, profession, city and the first action you could not complete. Compare its prerequisites with the appropriate reference. Avoid copying a “first ten turns” script until its exact version and city are verified.
