Even if im in a town I can never find houses, let alone shops and i'm wondering if there is any trick to it. I'm pretty new to adventure mode so any other tips would be gratefully received as well

The npcs seem to really like leather shops. Bone carver shops and food import shops take a close second. I see more of those in most towns than any other shop type. I've had towns that were nothing but leather shops before. I can't tell if it's procedurally generation screwing me over or if it's because those resources are the most abundant in any given world.

Are they any shops in hamlets?

When you're quick-traveling ([T]) through the brown-orange part of town (where your movement is restricted to the roadways on the left map), press [m] until the right side of the screen isn't showing a map (takes at most two presses of [m]). There it will list either "No Significant Structures" (unlikely in those brown-ish town centers), or a list of things in the area.

Shops are listed there by type (such as Leather Shop, Weaponsmith's Shop, etc.) You'll also see if there are houses ("House" or "Houses"), if there are abandoned buildings ("Abandoned shops" and "Abandoned houses"), if there are wells or sewer accesses (blue "Well" or magenta "Sewer Access"), if there is a "Warehouse", and if there are any temples (Cyan name at the top of the list, such as "The Trampled Roofs")

You can also find the occasional house or shop in the free-movement green parts of a site, though it's less likely than the brown centers. Towns (sites with semi-enclosed centers and keeps in the center of said semi-enclosure, seen on the [Q]uest log as things like "+" and "*") are more likely to contain shops, and the only places (that I know of) with sewers and temples.

Hope that helps you!

any town with walls generally has shops. the distribution and types of shop are random, but youll find them in quick travel easily, the hardest peart is finding them once youre out of quick travel, especially with sewer entrances

How can I identify houses on the travel map?  Some hamlets seem to be nothing but fields and roads.

The houses in the hamlets are solid brown with light yellow roads. In my graphics pack anyway.

Thanks.  That helped!

if you go to legends mode, you can export the site maps for the town. it shows where the structures are, and is color-coded to show what they are.
