well here's the thing. great little game. i had fun. but when there's no allowance for building on cleared land and/or revealing even a little bit of the diagonal, you end up with boxed-in resources that are in plain sight that cannot be accessed. like if they're x-x-x, there's no way to place a town.
eta: like that food.
if there's another tile in the dark, it can't be harvested at all

Weird too that the lag is ... idk, revealing some priorities? I can place a house next to a resource, and the counter will go two whole ticks before it registers that the resource is being harvested. so i've lost while still having a house next to the limiting crop.
