You have to harvest raw materials. Then you have to take them to either a warehouse to be stored, or to a factory to refine them into goods. Then you can use those goods to make products that you need to build things. Or products that your citizens need to grow and be happy. Islands will only have certain resources. You'll have to go to other islands to find more that you need, then have those shipped back to your other island for processing or use via trade routes that you can set up.
Citizens needs are very simple. Food and Drink are the most basic. They won't be satisfied with the same food and drink every tier though, you will need to make fancier food and drink for them. The other needs are things like information and entertainment, which are gotten simply by building certain buildings with circles of influence that envelop the house. When a house goes to the next tier, you get more income, so you can have more upkeep, but you'll also have to satisfy more needs.
