Assigning Pop's to buildings

[Manic Eskimo]

I'm following the tutorial but it's got me a little confused, either I've missed something or it's missing. When you construct a building it seems to imply that pop will be automatically assigned to the building. However, it also tells you to check that pops are assigned. My building is not working due to pops not being assigned but I can't see any way to assign them. Is this a manual thing or is it due to not having any extra population?

Hey there,

Understandable that it might cause some confusion.

1. Generally, you manually move a POP to the desired tile that contains the building.
2. If you already have buildings built, but without any POPs on them, newly generated POPs will/should start to spawn in one of those tiles over empty tiles.
3. If there are no empty buildings, POPs will/should prioritize tiles that have resources on them over empty tiles.

Thanks for the response I can see how it works now. I've built two buildings the first has a pop growing and a full explanation of what is happening and how to move pop. The second one doesn't display the explanation as it's not currently growing any pops.
