There are 2 Silos in th NW corner of the town. In the northern one are many sacks of meal which you can steal. The southern silo is infested by 3 Vapour Rats, which do not seem to have contaminated the bags of meal you can find there together with an emerald an a few other useful items.

There is neither a Job Board nor any secret doors in this town.
