Youngtown | Youngtown is the fifth biggest, or third smallest, settlement in the game, featuring an area of 7,643 square meters,<ref name=EasterRef/> surpassing [[Spookane]] and [[Snowman]]. The town consists of thirteen buildings (excluding the train station), four of which are accessible, being the town's church, inn, and [[drug store]], and the house of the Garrickson family. The town is situated in a forest, and can only be accessed through a wooden fence to the north or via a bridge to the east. The trees located in the town and the trees surrounding the northern and eastern portions of the town are mainly needle-covered trees, as opposed to the more frequent leaf-covered ones. Youngtown and [[Snowman]] are the only towns in the game (excluding the town area in Magicant) that features no walkways; the trees of the town does however create defined paths between the town's different areas. | ||
