2. ⚙️ Base Layout Design Change Process
- ✅ The initial layout had a central building surrounded by six round buildings, but it felt too organized for a smuggler trading post.
- ✅ Remove the central building to create a star-shaped inner courtyard, and gradually increase the height of each building to create variation.
