Mossbrook Town starts from the retro town template, names 32 things to use (26 from the library, 6 built-in), lays them out in 69 lines, gives 16 groups something to do in 18 life lines and frames 5 views.
a cozy retro starter town on a grassy square walled by trees: the professor's lab, the critter center and the mart up north on the cross street, homes in the middle, a pond with a dock and a fenced vegetable garden down south, low ledges along the south edge, tall grass on the route north
The scene line. It starts from the retro template, a square grass town walled in by two rows of round trees, like an old handheld game. The ground runs 26 m from the centre to the edge. Seed 11 drives every random choice below: the same seed lays everything out the same way, every time.
