Indeed it is a construction site. The tent is some guy camping by the riverbed. There are a conspicuous number of refugees in the background of act 1. A town is buried in snow, but they're not all from that one town.
A lot of games I've played offer Civic Creationism, where every town is presented in its same perfect form in which it was conceived 4,000 years ago. Instead, I wanted to show Civic Evolution and have things that are still in progress as you play through the game. I have a few of these in different towns, this one here is to block your line of sight around this cave entrance so if you see it, it's just barely so.
I found this map I made back in '16. It was my first attempt at a 500x500 modern city. The 300x300 cities I'm making now would've been impossible without this practice city I did 7 years ago
