If You Want New Nuggets, Or Population Seems To Be Stalling Out:
Build Eateries, Water Towers And Warehouses.
- Each Of Those Things Reduce The Time Nuggets Are Walking To Go Do Things.
- If They Are Walking Less, Then They Have More Time To Make Nuggets.
Unemployed/Employed Nuggets Doesn't Matter Much.
- Just Have Your Mayor Auto-Assign Around 80% Of Nuggets To Workforce.
Pick A Place You Want A New Residential Area To Be In:
- Use The "Holy Ground" God Power
- Surround That Place With Eateries, Engineer Huts, Fire Stations, Warehouses, And Water Towers.
- Parks Are Good Too. They Restore Nugget Energy So They Sleep Less.
I Went From 600 Nuggets To 1200 Doing The Above On A Big Enough Space:
- Destroyed An Exile Village, Used Holy Ground On It, Then Surrounded It With Amenities
- Don't Forget To Increase Food Production, Hungry Nuggets Won't Have Kids!
Good Luck!
