Iterated on this prompt for a few more hours last night...
Hit a wall when the spec got to be ~2300 tokens-- couldn't add any more features without breaking other stuff.
Diagnosing the spec further today, but the "spec authoring" work flow seems to work surprisingly well.

This is the title screen from the end of the day...
The game has a dev tool available from the menu, right now it shows the screen I was using to audit the building designs.
There is also a configuration screen when you start the game to adjust map parameters
