Your guide ACTUALLY started at ground zero and built up the knowledge in my head actually HOW to proceed. You basically allowed me to grasp how and what order I need to do these things to BEGIN , THANK YOU SO MUCH
The video is about the first villager but I have learned even how the buildings and technology unlock. Thanks for being so informative. Sometimes you have to watch five different videos in order to get the full "How it works" but you answered two of my questions in one video.
Hi there :) ! Thank you so much for the compliment ! I'm very happy you find this video that helpful :) !! I have now made i think a total of 4 videos for beginners, i'm now thinking to reverting back to general topic to topic based video guides, but if you have suggestions of what could still be useful to help new players get started you are most welcome to suggest :) !
Thank you for this, I just newly dared to hire some villagers, I was afraid they would just starve, but the UI has gotten much more intuitive than before
I like your MD videos. I especially love listening to what you are actually saying, vs. the CC translation, lol. For instance, when you say buckets, it shows "baguettes of water", so it reads like you have soggy bread, lol. That said, although the algorithm seems to have trouble understanding you, I do not. Keep up the good work. I just bought the game a week ago, and am on the hunt for new videos about it, both because many of the videos out there are dated (before patches, or even early access on some), and because the game does a fair job teaching you bare necessities, but is also very open-ended, and doesn't do a great job of teaching you EVERYTHING about what you can do in-game- which makes videos about how to manage villager needs, for instance, very helpful. P.S. I am currently only halfway through the video (felt the need to stop because of the Baguettes of Water thing), but you have moved on from describing what you need to have before recruitment, and I would just add that I wouldn't recruit until I have a job for them to do. I will build the house and gather supplies, sure, but also build a hunting lodge or woodshed, so that they have something to do, and aren't just a drain on resources. I also try to recruit both a male and female once I have everything ready for one, to maximize efficiency, which usually also means having a second workplace ready, unless I want them both doing the same job. Again, none of this is strictly necessary, but you could also technically recruit villagers without a house or supplies, it just doesn't make sense to do so, just as it doesn't make sense to recruit people without jobs for them to fill. Just my two cents worth.
Hi quantumperception ! Thank you very much for the feedback :). Indeed you are right the new villager should have a job to do hehe, i go through this in the second part pf the video (which you had not yet watched at that time). Indeed, i have a certain accent haha :), I guess it will never change since i have been living for more than a decade in en English speaking country, and my accent is evolving so slowly ... however last time i came back to France (years ago), several people have mistaken me for a Canadian ! that was funny 😂 !
Thanks mate, when you will start (again?) with Medieval Dynasty this can be of help I think :) !! Quite different than path of exiles though i think :) !
@@SolutOdka I bought the game a few months ago but haven't had chance to play it yet. Can't wait to get some time to play it. Your guides will help for sure. Yes, very different to path of exile, but I do love simulation/survival type games though.
@@Altek2k Yeah you will enjoy it very much then; but this is quite different than a pure survival game such as subsistence for instance. I remember you subsistence series, this was really fun to watch hehe :) !
I'm SO sorry and i will probably get hate for it, but I had to giggle when I heard your accent at 1:09 and 2:40. (with the words resource and cabbage) :) but your video DID help me so im thankful for your tips!
Hi The Barret, haha :), well... if this is only for 2 words that you had to get a good laugh, this can be considered pretty good then I guess :D. I'm happy this is not only useful but also make people get a good laugh ! Also I do not pretend being a mother tongue English speaker, and I try to improve over time .... but after 15 years living in an English speaking country, I now believe 1 lifetime will not be enough to become perfect unfortunately... still doing my best though :) ! thank you for your honest feedback ! Cheers
Thanks bro I was wondering why they were so unhappy and leaving I don't have a food storage.i thought the resource building did that lol. I play it on Xbox game pass. Wish I could on PC.
Hi Jose, I did one during Early Access but this is now partially incorrect since prices have changed but the concepts remain valid. Very early game, beside stealing and finding treasures, to earn your own money you need to craft primitive tools and sell them (such as stones knives or wooden hoes). Then later on, you can start to sell your produce, my first produce i am selling is Pottage (Meat + Cabbage), it sells for 25coins each and with a good cabbage production twice a year and hunting lodge generating hundreds of meat you can bulk produce pottage. Then there will be opportunities for the smithy, tailor, etc ... i will study this more in depth in the coming days :). Does it help you somehow already :) ?
do we need tools for vilagers to work ? were is best to place them the Tools ? in the storage or in the particular bilding like woodcuter ? would help a lot like most of your vids thks a lot
Hello Robert, I made a video during Early Access on the NPC workers topic, but I will make a new updated version soon with the release :). So to reply to your question, NPC workers will by default use the tools (and fertilizer, seeds) on the resource storage buildings; but if you place manually tools in the chest of their respective buildings where they work, these ones will be prioritized over the resource storage building ones. Does it reply to your question while waiting for the video guide :) ?
So from the start you get 5 buildings max. House for you, house for them then food/resource storage and 1 for their job. Seems like your locked into that exact buuld order. Am I wrong? I can't see any other way to do it. Also, how should I build the 7 buildings you listed when I'm capped at 5
Hi Mr J, they place the outputs in the food and resource storage buildings, as appropriate. Then in case these are full, their 'output overflow' is going to the chests at the workstations. Does it provides clarification :) ?
How are you this far by day 5 and how will you pay taxes? I spent the first 5 days questing, building my first house and selling tools for a backpack. Now I'm in my first winter with enough food and tax money in a stone house, but no winter clothes and only a hunter's lodge building, with no spare houses.
Hi XavierMarik. I have played a playthrough series called "The Hamlet", to help players getting started with the game, this could bring you light on this :). But in essence for the first days i do not sleep at night, i do very few quests, and focus on tasks at hand as efficiently as possible.
@@SolutOdka Thanks. I was misinformed about how much taxes would cost. It is the first day of summer year 2, I have most of the quests done and am at the same spot you're at now in terms of buildings. Do you have an order of what jobs you have villagers fill first?
@@GuildWarsBuddy Okay great. In my preference I like 1/ lumberjack, 2/hunter, then it depends on how what you have unlocked, but i would like more of these 2 maybe, or have a stonecutter to rapidly tech up to stone walls for better insulation and tools production. what is sure is that the NPCs are at first more efficient for the raw materials production, rather than transformation into products :0. then year 2 starting to have farmers and animal breeders.
@@SolutOdka Okay, so the villager not needing to be at the work building is useful, but does the location of the building matter? My wood shed is very close to my village and has trees around it. Does it need to be deeper in the forest to get more resources?
@@GuildWarsBuddy The location of buildings does not matter, except for the barn and the fields. Your workers have a work shift, and the buildings produce during their shift, whether your people are actually there or not. I have detailed this in one a video called "How do villager work" for more details :).
Hi Mad Max, you can have 2 villagers in the same house as long as one is male and one is female. But in the early game, this might not be recommended, since they will likely end up having a child, which will mean for the woman to go on maternity leave for 2 years when giving birth. So on my end i try to have 1 house per villager at first, then once my hamlet can provide sustenance to the people, then i 'assemble' them into couples at that time :).
Hi, if you have a house available, you should be able to. Houses have 2 beds, but only for villagers of different gender, so maybe this is why you are encountering an issue ?
Hello ZappoGaming, this is correct you technically can do that. However this is tedious, and putting yourself in a situation to grow safely. this guide is for beginners, therefore this proposed way is the standard safe way to do it, then players can decide to do it differently indeed. You can even hire a worker before having a house, then build the house shortly after... but this is not recommended to do all this to new players :), the game is complex enough, better keep it safe and simple and enjoy rather than being frustrated (at least for most people).
Thanks man, helped a lot. Got a clear idea on what to do for my settlement.
My pleasure, i'm glad it is helpful :) !
Rs bc I was able to recruit as soon as the game started but I feel bad not knowing what to use them for exactly yk.

Salut Medieval Survivors !
Is this quick guide useful :) ?
Please advise if you have any questions on how to get your first villager !
Cheers !
Thanks for yet another useful video in the SolutOdka Gaming Channel! I think a "Build Order Video" will be interesting. Salut!
Hi Upsara, thank you :) ! this one already includes the very early game build order, let see if other build orders would be interesting.
Thank you for this... I built so many things out of order! lol your video is very clarifying
You are so welcome Lincoln :) !
This is by far the best video out there for beginners. Thank you so much for this. It was really helpful 💫
