Settlement Survival/Services

The services tab does not actively produce any products, but instead provides important services for the citizenry. This includes funerary services like the cemetery, and health services like the clinic and hospital.

Services
Your bread and butter for buildings. These buildings allow you to raise your citizens health, happiness; help repair buildings, build buildings; store dead people and much more.

Cemetery
Cemeteries are necessary structures that fill up as citizens die. If a citizen dies, and there is no available cemetery, the citizen's family suffers a happiness penalty.

Once a cemetery is full, it may be deconstructed without penalty. Doing so will keep the tombstones, which will slowly decay and the land will become available again. Having two cemeteries, alternating between active and inactive, is an effective strategy.

The number of tombstones that a cemetery can fill is dependent on its area. The number of tombstones can be determined by the following formula:

$$ Tombstones=\dfrac{(width-2)(height-2)}{2} $$

In summary, the larger a cemetery is, the more space-efficient it is.

Church
A church provides spiritual sustenance for citizens and increases happiness.

It is an important early game structure to maintain happiness and thus maintain production, along with the distillery.
