This exercise is to review decisions that have been made over the course of challenge and see if they still fit the moody that we are going for. I realize they do not as there are too many large settlements. The solution for this is simple: scale back the number of settlements. No division of imperial troops north of the interior mountains. A smaller settlement at the inlet. Just a railhead and the beginning of construction towards the interior mountain pass.
I lost sight of the fact that much more of the setting should be wilderness, and the infrastructure necessary to support such a large interior settlement would produce what would generally be considered the absence of wilderness. The effort does not need to be scrapped, but initial mining of magicite should be taking place in wildcat mines rather than large industrial pits.
