An Oil Boom Leads to a new Boomtown! | MC #15 (Patreon)

Researchers from the University of Superior's College of Geography and Natural Resources have made a stunning discovery in Magnolia County - significant deposits of shale oil.  When Governor Johnson Catches wind of this, she quiets discussion and immediately works to find an energy company to extra and process the oil.  She also works to establish the "Superior Basic Fund," which will provide a share of the oil revenue to each and every resident of the state.  

After securing an energy company to developer the fields and a processing plant, this company - Hancock Energies - secures a short-line railroad to serve the development, and begins putting shovels in the ground.  At the same time, developers purchase land near the shale fields to develop a small community.  

In this episode, we're going to be building these oil fields!  We'll also build cargo rail infrastructure to serve the area, a fuel plant, and a brand new city.  We'll also make a few fixes based on YOUR feedback... but not before a HUGE issue occurs...

NOTES - I'm still OOT for the week, so the next video is likely a week or so out.  Will keep you posted as soon as I begin recording the next one!
