Building Order - Getting Started

A checklist of buildings in build order for getting started in Ratopia. For players who don't like TLDR guides and videos.
The list is for Normal difficulty with invasions disabled. If Invasions are enabled, add training camps and spiked traps as needed.
The intent is to build enough things so ratizens will begin to enter middle class. It will take you through the first game year and most of the second game year.

The list assumes you have a decent standard map seed with rabbits and fish close to the starting location, and a workable number of trees and wood. It's a decent list for the first two game years and a population of 30-35 ratizens. Your mileage may vary.

It doesn't explain how the buildings work or how to layout your settlement or any game mechanics. It's just a list with a few notes. It may or may not be helpful for other difficulty settings or maps or rapid expansion.
