>>49538726>yeah bro, just build Roman aqueducts in the Japanese equivalent to 1880s MontanaFucking hell, mate.
>can’t run their guildTheir guild isn’t shown to have more than about 4 people.
>there’s literally pasturesOne person can use a pasture, genius. I haven’t sat down and counted it, but I can guarantee Jubilife has less than 50 people.
>that’s still foot traffic and they need footpathsLike I said, zoomer incapable of thinking from the perspective of the 19th century. To them, dirt footpaths were normal and accepted and anything else was the pinnacle of luxurious excess. If the thought even crossed their mind.
>just build a nature path, bro! Why don’t they have a functional subway train?>>49538751>t-that’s cherrypickedCope. Literally every frontier town looked like that well into the first decade of the 20th century. Not even London had paved roads until about 1850, and even then they were mostly restricted to the central part of the city. Pic related is downtown Los Angeles around 1880, for another reference. More advanced than Jubilife, even has a trolley. Roads are still dirt.
>Hokkaido has plenty of oreHypothetical ore availability isn’t the problem. The problem is the logistics of finding, mining, and then laying said ore to make roads. This costs monumental amounts of time and money, especially on the frontier, which Hokkaido was during the Meiji era. I keep comparing it to the American old west because from a logistical and remoteness standpoint, they are incredibly similar. Being in Hokkaido circa 1890 was roughly equivalent to being in North Dakota circa 1870. You’d be lucky if a town had a single telegraph line, never mind running water and paved roads.
Jubilife doesn’t even have a real fucking dockyard, if you hadn’t noticed. They’ve got a single wooden jetty that can maybe allow the berthing of two dinghies, and that’s it. The fact they were even able to slap together the Galaxy HQ raises questions.
