Seeking Home Building/Town Management

[Venchi]

The general idea of, say, you're building up a manor, fortress, or town and doing so is what brings people to you for whatever reason. There's plenty of games out there where you're just given a property, and everyone comes to you because of that property, but how about where the gameplay loop involves you actually gathering the resources to expand and accommodate them? You don't just conveniently have a forge in your house that the blacksmith you want can just occupy, you've got to get out there and start working to build it. Any good games for this kind of gameplay loop?

Zombie's Retreat has this and crafting, albeit in a very light/casual form. I'm sure the sequel does too.
My Forest Home
Fort of Chains might be the most relevant, but is text-based.

Ahhh, I suppose it depends on how puritan you are about the gameplay loop. graveyard keepers has aspects of what you describe, and the upcoming title lonely outpost definitely does as well.

Unless of course you just meant adult titles. Then I can't help you

Castle meister - You manage and build up a fortress. You need to basically collect every resource yourself. But it is also text-heavy and I don´t think it can be called a gameplay loop. The H-content itself is pretty vanilla.
