Overcrowding
Overcrowding lets Rat build two identical buildings in one tile. The guide describes it as a key lore that helps ensure access to multiple food buildings and supports strong profession-focused upgrades.
How it works
The guide says an upgraded economic building buffs all villagers of that profession in the tile, allowing upgrade bonuses to be concentrated in one zone. It also recommends building two food buildings in one tile and upgrading one early in the described 801 phase. This supports food production even when the map’s natural food sources are limited.
When it helps
Useful when following the guide’s food and tile-stacking plan.
Your next step
Consider Carpentry Mastery for later building upgrades.
