I had a few ideas for buildings that might be suitable for the game... maybe?
(If anyone else has any ideas or iterations of ideas, you're more than welcome to add to this thread!
Printing Press
A printing press might be interesting. Destabilise your community with a truly free and open newspaper with no oversight, or unite your community with a newspaper that constantly sings your praises.
Black Market
You're the lawmaker in the town, but who says that you cannot also be the lawbreaker too? Set up a black market for illegal goods and/or bonus rations, and reap a little bonus income at a cost of social stability.
Strip Club
The ratio of male to female workers determines the ratio of attendees. It's a bit difficult to describe, but if you've got a strip club with four male workers and one female worker, then you'll get four times as many straight female and gay male clients, as compared to gay female and straight male clients. This might be good for maintaining a balance (or deliberate imbalance) of happiness between genders. For example, if you pass an edict that makes all the straight girls unhappy, then maybe you can try to improve their mood with a all-male super-stallion strip club? But, of course, it's not popular with religionists.
Brothel
Same as the strip club, inasmuch as the ratio of male to female workers determines the ratio of male-attracted to female-attracted attendees. If that makes sense. But beware, because the brothel might make some individuals happier, but not their spouses. Definitely unpopular with the religious.
Garden
Set aside an area for a nice plot of non-edible trees and plants. I can imagine that such a place would slightly improve the mood of people walking near it, and greatly improve the mood of people who deliberately stop by to visit. I'd imagine that it would look like a number of semi-organised circles of various coloured flowers, with a partially regrown tree in the middle.
Club House
Promote a particular faction with a clubhouse!
Sheriff's Office
In a small, post-apocalyptic town, sometimes you need someone to act as the long arm of the law, and to uphold the thin blue line between order and chaos. And other clichés. (Just don't tell the locals that he has no shells in his six-shooter!)
Children's Playground
Fun for the kids. Keeps children happy, but may increase the likelihood of certain undesirables moving in. Constructed out of oversized piping, left-over sheet metal, ratty bits of plywood, and half a rusted ladder.
Photographic Studio
Someone found a bottle of photographic developing fluid, and took it upon themselves to enrich everyone's lives with some landscape photography and portraiture.
Pornographic Studio
Someone found a bottle of photographic developing fluid, and took it upon themselves to enrich everyone's lives with some intimate nudes. (Just kiddding...)
Post-Apocalyptic Witch Doctor
He doesn't really do much to help heal any significant wounds, but having someone around to read palms and toss bones makes some people feel happier and safer. Artistically, I imagine this fellow's place of business looks a tribal shaman's hut with scrap-metal and other shiny remnants of the past age.
Town Square
A place for people to meet, beggars to beg, buskers to busk, and angry people to rant and rave. Could be upgraded with a statue, perhaps?
