Restoring the Town
Which shops to rebuild first, what they cost, what each one unlocks, and how houses fit in.
The reclaimed districts of the Town are full of ruined shops and houses. Research the Market Stalls and Artisans technologies, then build shops on the empty plots: each one brings a trader with its own stock and Town orders. Upgrade a shop to Tier II and III with better kits to grow its trader. Repair houses for Green Scrolls, which Linda at the Dockside Club turns into citizen reputation and a higher Likes limit.

The Town has 7 Merchant Stalls plots for its 8 market-stall shops, and 4 Workshop Courtyards for the 4 artisan shops. Every shop can be built only once, and the Patron of merchants achievement asks for 11 shops, so decide which stall you can do without.
Shops, in the order the tech tree opens them
1. Market Stalls I: given by the quest Safe Harbor
2. Artisans I: 75 red and 25 green tech points
3. Artisans II: 100 red and 75 green tech points
4. Market Stalls II: 130 red and 30 green tech points
5. Market Stalls III: 150 red and 50 green tech points
Growing a shop to Tier II and III
Upgrades need no technology: bring the materials to the shop. Each tier raises village reputation, gives its trader more goods, more money a day and a higher weekly Likes cap, and adds harder Town orders that pay more Likes.

Town questions
Where do I build a shop?
On an empty plot sign in the reclaimed Town. Market-stall shops (Apothecary, Vegetable Stand, Tailor, Furniture Maker, Baker, Fish Stand, Alchemist, Jeweler) go on Merchant Stalls plots; the artisans (Builder, Smithy, Tavern, Brewery) need a Workshop Courtyard.
What does a shop give me?
Village reputation, a trader with its own stock, Town orders for supply boxes, and progress toward the Shop Owner inspiration and the Patron of merchants achievement.
What are Green Scrolls for?
Repaired houses reward Green Scrolls. Deliver them to Linda at the Dockside Club on Lust day to raise citizen reputation and your maximum Likes.
Does the Builder perk help?
Yes: with Builder, finishing a first-tier shop or a house has a chance to hand back some of the kits it cost. Each building page lists what you can get back.
