If you haven't tried this, do yourself a favour and get one of the best city-builders in recent years.

The setting and water physics gameplay really add a twist to the traditional survival city-builder formula (you can also borderline disabled the survival elements if it's not you thing).

How you didn’t mention the beavers in your explanation I do not know

It’s pretty good!

My only complaint is that the difficulty curve is out of whack. Starts out hard, becomes very easy.

That's sort of true of all city-builders and even strategy games more broadly.

With city-builders, in the mid to late game I switch to building out elaborate cities and projects.

For me it was anticipating (knowing when) the drought, bad tides, etc. Once I knew the schedule, I had preparations incrementally in place and each play through became easier and easier...but man those first few run throughs were tough on my little beaver friends
