Once I get to the totem poles, I try to have enough goods to unlock up until wool and when I am fairly close (only lacking maybe one production cycle), I’ll unlock totem poles and then delete shrines and maybe a couple of houses to build enough diplomacy to unlock wool (I make sure I’m completing the quests as I go along.

This helps to concentrate your focus and produces these goods faster and helps to concentrate what u get ur 4x on. I usually will only have max of 2 different type goods running at any given time. this varies tho as at times, I can complete all of one good for the entire settlement before deleting it.

I try to plan ahead and gather enough of a particular good to get me through a few unlocks. I always build 2 of a new good building so at the end of the first production, I can unlock 2 expansions at one time. also, I only ever use 1 & 5 goods to unlock expansions (the exception to this is I unlock 3 wool expansions).

But besides that, I always run 4 hour productions (since the bonus is just chance based, the more number of productions you can run, the greater your chances increase at 4x). I do cheat by unlocking shrines for 50 diamonds every week, I feel this is a small price that can save crucial time in the beginning. No, I’ve given a lot of advice, but never written a step by step guide.
