Field notes
The site describes seven housing tiers and production chains spanning cotton, pottery, dried fish, seals and beads. It also makes recurring river floods and wildlife raids part of settlement management, rather than treating the landscape as scenery. The developers say archaeological evidence guides the game’s settlements, resources, technologies and culture, while acknowledging that some elements are reconstructions.
