Repeated intro
Greetings mayors, We realize that Kapital: Sparks of Revolution is a complex game, and it might be handy to have the basic mechanics described and at hand for reference. We have received a lot of feedback from our players already and we are working on improving the ingame tutorials as well (among many other things, such as bugfixes and improving game balance).

changedThis is a game about crisis. It is the game’s goal to scale the events in a way where the player faces the need to deal with some issue or other. It is very rare that you will be able to solve all of the problems at hand (mostly possible in the Normal difficulty campaign) and your goal is to clear your campaign objectives (quests) while ensuring enough stability to finish the Campaign or simply surviving as long as you can in Sandbox.
changedEarly Campaign Techniques We wanted to impart what the game tells you to control in order to build a successful city and production chains in the early campaign. All the sections of this guide are important for the overall gameplay as the player’s priorities are: solve hunger, then housing (migration), and then whatever else comes as you build up and scale your production and the city.

This is the key issue and the one that will have the largest impact on the happiness of the citizens and their willingness to give their maximum for production and the administrative work in the respective buildings.
changed1. Food ProductionUse the box piles and ruins that you can find at the start of the game as a cache of supplies for the first few days as you build up your food chain. But remember, your ability to stack resources is rather limited at the start, so dismantling more ruins than you need would cause a loss of precious materials
changed1. Food ProductionThe maximum priority for the player should be that grain/food isn't zero at the end of the daily work shift and that gold isn't zero at the beginning of the work shift. When they reach zero the problems begin to occur at almost exponential speed as these oversights stack up.

The maximum priority for the player should be that grain/food isn't zero at the end of the daily work shift and that gold isn't zero at the beginning of the work shift. When they reach zero the problems begin to occur at almost exponential speed as these oversights stack up.
Also, use the pause button in case you need to balance your budget and your buildings are costing you too much to keep running- this helps you to scale back if necessary.
Have 2 working Sawmills as soon as possible - This will speed up the necessities and will allow you to upgrade the Railroad line 1 (as mentioned in Section 4, Broken Train) without having to scale up later as you need wood to ensure the smooth running of the railroad deliveries.
