Protect and guide your people as you forge a town from untamed wilderness at the edge of the known world. Harvest raw materials, hunt, fish and farm to survive. Produce crafted items to trade, consume, equip and fight with as you battle for your survival against the elements and outside threats. - Ігри
A few more tips:
Crop diseases can spread to adjacent fields, up to 10 tiles away. One tile in game is ~20 meters, the scale is a bit off... But it's often best to keep crops of a similar type with a 10 tile gap between them (An ideal size for a cow pasture). Or plant your blueberries in windrows between fields, and AFTER they're moved, set them to prioritize so they will be harvested by laborers when ripe (around March).
Additionally, you can run your cows in an orchard. They fertilize the fruit trees, which improves their lifespan. Ding so does slightly decrease the fodder quality, but not significantly. You'll be able to keep a heard of up to 10 at 100% health year round.
In your barn, set your heard size lower than maximum. 8 Cows per barn seems to be the sweet spot where they remain healthy and produce more food than they consume. When you're ready to add another barn, temporarily raise the cap to 9 and then, breed up two more, then split those two off to the new barn, and reduce it back down to 8. By giving yourself a bit of overhead here, when you're ready to expand, it won't diminish that years meat harvest by nearly as much. You can spread the cost of not slaughtering out over a couple of years.
Fallow years can help prevent diseases in fields. When a field is stricken with a disease, it can help to cancel production for the next year in that field. Just do maintenance the whole year, or even leave it empty (so as not to tie up farmers on busy work). The year following that, the disease will be gone from the soil. Just be sure you don't have multiple field fallow in the same year, as that will hurt production. One extra field can be put in to pick up the slack for any you're running fallow. If your needs are met by 8 fields, plant 9, but reduce the farmers on the extra field and just keep it in clover and maintenance until needed. Now when one is diseased, you go fallow in that field for a year and convert your backup field to the production you would have had in your main field.
The honeypot... Outside your walls, construct a storehouse and a well. Uncheck everything except water buckets in the storehouse, and let it fill up with water. Raiders will try to plunder the warehouse, and make off with their useless buckets of water long before they get to your town.
In the late game, if you want to make your town look better, try using pavilions as roadways, bordered by roads. It does take up a lot of room, but it adds a lot of visual appeal to residential areas. This also helps prevent fires from spreading.
In orchards:
Apples: Long lived trees, Take a long time to bare fruit, have a moderate yield.
Pears: Moderate lifespan, Moderate time to bare fruit, high yield.
Peaches: Short lifespan, Bare fruit quickly, moderate yield.
Be mindful of when crops are ready to harvest. You want to avoid having all your fields harvest at the same time, or you may run into laborer shortages and leave crops to rot in the field. You can also scale down the number of farmers assigned to a field, then ramp back up at harvest time. Use seasonal labor, and the rest of the time they can perform other tasks. 2 Farmers is generally adequate for a 10x10 field, you don't need the recommended 5 farmers, as long as your grainery and root cellar are not too far away.
You can never have too many wagon shops.
Build many rat catchers to cover your whole town, but disable the buildings until there is an outbreak, then just enable the closest one. For some reason, this works better than just moving the target area of a single rat catcher.
If a villager says "Idle - Unable to work", check their individual happiness level and their gear. Make sure their clothes, shoes and tools are in good condition and their basic needs are met.
Look out for injured villagers. If untreated by a healer, some injuries become permanent disabilities. When that happens, I send them to a work camp near some wild boars. They'll die, another villager will be born to replace them. Yep, you heard that right... take your disabled people, ship them off to a distant labor camp where they can work until torn apart by wild animals. Sorry, the game doesn't give you a more humane option in some cases.
These are some great tips and I am pinning this so more people can see it! Although you might not like my video coming out later about fruit trees hahaha do watch it and let me know what you think.
Also wagons only seem to carry between work camps and mining camps and the stockyard. If you don't have many of those then you don't need many wagons vut they are useful nonetheless.
For the fields and disease, you'll see that I always do rotations of different crops each year. Some people do the same crops back to back but I don't do that because of disease and all of my farming guides follow this logic. If I get a disease then I just make sure that the following crops the following year are not affected by that disease and it typically goes away.
Good one. Small correction though. 1 Tile is 5 meters. Check through road building tool.
Yeah that was the first thing he said and is also the one thing I forgot to mention haha.. That's how we calculated that a large map is around 3.3 mi²!
I am looking at the storehouse and having a hard time finding a way to store water in it. Maybe it is something that is offered later.
Great read. If you don't write articles for IGN or other game news or information sites, you should do so. You bring up great tips, easy to follow tip, and a bit of humor. It's rare when the comment section is waaay more informative than the actual video.
Wolves Den:
DONT destroy them!! .. Instead build 2x hunter lodges around medium range to the den and place their hunting circle near the den (not on top!) Wolves come in 6-8 per pack and respawn quickly!! Its easy for one hunter to get overwhelmed and killed, but 2 of them watch each others back and make good work of the wolves. They provide a ton of meat/hides and tallow very early game! Have a smokehouse right nearby ready to cook! Note that unfortunetly and eventually they will catch rabies and die, or run into some bad pulls and get all 6 wolves! (you can go 3x hunters to be super safe!) but their sacrifice is worth the amazing amount of hides and meat you can collect!
Great tip for those playing on harder difficulties and wolves more common!
I wonder if the villagers like "dog" meat? Maybe they cannot tell the difference between wolf and deer, or boar and bear.
@@wastedwatts Everybody likes a good bowl of dontasksoup in the middle of the winter . Keeps you going .
Great idea. Yeah. I go super crazy insane heavy in hunting and the tallow is priceless.
Yeah, this is good tip, I had game with two wolf den + bunch of deer, and I just made two hunters go hunt and it's pretty much infinite pelt and meat as long as you micromanage them a bit so they don't kill all wolves and deer (when they get low in number, move hunter's working area somewhere else so wolves and deer replenish their numbers).
Finally reached 100 years with a decent map seed and all the tips and tricks shared and discovered. I let the town celebrate with the theater theyve been harping about
An extra tip on the early game gold making that has saved me a lot of gold. The healer is really expensive and isn't needed whenever you have no illnesses around. If you turn the building on only if you have sick people, you save a lot of gold. You could even argue it's not needed early on at all, as most ill people will heal on their own and even if a few die, you're saving a ton of gold.
You do have to do more than release the healer, you have to stop production of the structure to save the "rent". The other thing to notice is when the rent is no longer being paid, any housing near by will suffer from the lack of influence, which could cause a Homestead to be abandon.
build movable build near your stockpiles, then move the building to its final location its way faster than having single builder going back and forth for ten years just to build a single guard tower at edge of map
Like that trick. Makes total sense.
Indeed, a smart speedup many won't think of right off, but I am wondering if this actually saves time and reduces the work load of the common laborers and builders?
@@wastedwatts It does, laborers can carry only 6 heavy materials per travel. They also move slower while carrying them for later buildings it can be 20 long back and forth.
This is actually realistic too, modular pre-fabrication is still the best way to construct things.
The blueberry bushes can also be harvested by your laborers quickly when they get ripe. You can set them to auto harvest.
Yes I was just talking with someone else about this and found out! I did know that you could use laborers to harvest the blueberry bushes but I didn't realize that the harvest command did not go away and stayed on there. Super useful
One thing that took me way to long to realize was that laborers were separate from builders smh.
Apriaries can be placed on crop tiles, and on max size farms can offer 50-60% production increase.
Hmm the apiary thing I am going to check out... we've been trying to figure out how the thing works lol
@@TakaUA-cam I think they go off fertility of the soil for what i can see... you can place them on the farm but i didn't check to see if it uses up the space for the farming tile. also dont stack one beside the other, it will halve their honey production. Lastly some people (i was one of em! lol) think that its a "manned" building. its not! you can build multiple apiaries without losing your workforce.
@@jimmyb.5356 While the building itself isn't manned, I have heard its the farmers that empty the building, so if you have too many too far away from the farms it can cause late harvests too.
Now I am wondering if placing the fruit trees on a farm plot means it can be fertilized from the compost yard? If it does, can you also grow crops on the field? I can think of a few other questions, but those would be the first to answer.
@@jimmyb.5356 If you got the stone to build them e mass it dosent matter so much if you bulk them up. got a cobbleroad around my orchard and about 30 honeymakers around the orchard as well, works like a charm . Had to place a warehouse down the road to minimize transport and the candlemaker beside the warehouse . Good income of luxurys and gold .
when building fence around your farm field that near wildlife leave the fence of your farm at the otherside of that wildlife source open and build couple of hunter hut near the opening, deer will try to approach the opening and allowing your hunter to hunt the deer without even move an inch.
That's illegal....
Do Not encase a farm fields with stone walls and no exit. Death by starvation pops up. Zero farmers. Field of corpses...Im an idiot...
Yes, letting the deer eat a bit seems to be a good magnet for meat, hide, and tallow. How often they try to eat from the field has a lot to do with where their spawn point is and if they can approach the field through cover, like trees. Suggesting you do want fencing on one side nearest the deer spawn point, so they have to first get around the fencing and come closer to the hunters cabin.
Does the fence around your field require its own space or can it be built along and existing road? I have never built a fence before?
Your airlock idea is great, from my tests, it seems the raiders really like hitting doors, i actually make the airlock a little smaller and put the towers outside the airlock, but inside the wall on the town side so the raiders have to kill 2 sets of doors before they start hitting my towers. =)
Aah never thought I would appreciate a Taka video more. I'm at the hospital waiting and this just scratches my farthest frontier itch hehe.
they wont prioritize fixing a road but they will make a new one.... sounds realistic to me
The game is super realistic You have to give it that lol
LOL, does sound like common laborer logic.
Sounds familiar when you are from germany .... but still makes no sense.
Always a lot of good info and tips. Thank you.
For fast expansion I like to plant trees where I will be building housing soon. By the time the reach maturity 2 trees in a 3x3 can pay for the housing build cost with no travel time. Also can act as a marker for where you plan to build.
Another tip. When time comes for cheese, consider moving your Trading Post closer to cheese production / storage. Create at least 1 storage for cheese exclusively. That way you can trade 7-15 stacks of 500 in one merchant visit.
Excellent tips, these will come in handy. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the tip about building stone roads. I was really frustrated with my last game with that. I really wish I had a way to do low normal high priority across all building projects so I don't have to micromanage pausing the construction of dozens of buildings. Ghost buiilding blueprints would also be great for planning layouts less tediously.
I came across this video by chance and now I have to subscribe due to the first advice you gave about not removing the fences one by one LOL...no irony here, just a new sub
Your defenses are on point! Loved that double gate system
The double gate ‘air lock’ is called a barbican.
Adding sand/clay to fields is done by laborers and there needs to be a sufficient amount of them so that the representative number on the professions tab is no longer red. It can be done during winter, too.
No adding sand and clay is done by Farmers during a maintenance cycle.
@@TakaUA-cam Ok, just I built my farms right between huge clay deposits and had to do a lot of adjustment, experimenting to see why it was taking forever, verifying by watching it be done quite a few times. Pretty sure I wasn't hallucinating.
You do not need a fish or deer icon to be able to harvest fish or deer. It just will not be as much. It never occurred to me that clay or sand could be the same, I have not looked into that yet. My current city play was a riddle it's a ridiculous amount away and bae and the only sand on the entire map was about 10 or 12 of my city center distances away from my town. I'm not even sure people could go that far.
Taka pro tip for you: if you enjoy beautiful city features. You can make all your city roads into red brick by using the single tile cobble stone park, which costs gold to build and upgrade. But you can literally change your entire city streets into beautiful red brick but i believe they count as a service tax to maintain so unless you got gold pouring in, I wouldnt recommend it for beginners, but for more advanced players. It is very expensive for large cities but it can be done and looks gorgeous.
i was semi confused about temporary shelter. thanks for the clarification.
I just started this game , one thing I noticed early game is move the wagon close to the resource you are harvesting, then move it to the building that needs the resources
the decorations that can be upgraded are super under rated imo, build a ton of them between all houses
@Taka have ya noticed that moving blueberries that are RIGHT on the shoreline, sometimes refuse to move to where you want to place them? It's like they are out of reach!
Yes that is a pathing bug issue that is being addressed in the patch
@@TakaUA-cam Right on! Thank ya for the reply good sir!
Nice Tip, TY.
Hey Taka, you don't need the forager for berries. After you move them, click on them and select harvest and your laborers will run over and do it as soon as they are in season.
I was just clued in to the fact from another person that when you set your laborers to harvest blueberry bushes that harvest command does not go away from them after they pick the berries! I didn't have any idea! Learn something new everyday
Yup, that's why I keep checking your updates on tip in case I missed or don't know something.
Something I found on reddit is you can make roads through farm fields to make irregular shapes and visa versa for esthetic purposes.
Hey Taka, didn't check the name, heard the voice, checked the name, Guess you are my FF guide now as well as Anno ;) - Very relaxing voice
Finally found a how to video instead of just watching someone play the game for an hour.
Nice tips
Pro Tip: If you generate a map by using the "random" option you will get a mix of all biomes. So for example you can have a part of your map being plains, some part being lowland lakes and another part being arid highlands.
That is not entirely true... we have dissected some of the seed hash values. The Random map is not as described in the the text. Part of the seed number for random will determine a specific biome type or what we call Hellscape (no fertility and tons of gold/sand). Other factors can change some stuff like elevations, appearance/size of lakes, and some other factors. What we have definitely determined is that it is not a mix of biomes.
@@TakaUA-cam so the text description just lies to us. sad
Let me tell you about half the other buildings of the game where the description doesn't match the functionality right now lol
Twin gates are “Baileys”. Inner or outer baileys, that’s an outer Bailey, if you did it to separate parts of your inner defenses it it would be an inner Bailey.
When I upgraded the Hunters I've noticed that the trap thingy can't be set to 0 and stay at 0. So I'm getting all the stuff but hardly any meat. Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong?
So at the moment I'm back to tier 1 hunters.
i was wondering how much space i need to leave betwen shelters for upgrade and so on? do they use more space when they become tier 4?
No they all have the same footprint
very useful.
How do you rotate the map? I've tried pressing the middle mouse button & moved the mouse left & right but it won't rotate.
Try your right mouse button, hold in and then move the mouse. Wondering if your mouse wheel has an issue. It is the wheel you hold in and then move your mouse to cause rotation of the map.
@@wastedwatts Thanks for your help. I've gone & bought a new microsoft compatible mouse. There was a problem with my current mouse.
btw if you have long enough walls. the raiders will attack the middle of them over the gates
Place blueberries around smokehouses. Haven't had a single fire from them on several fresh starts. (10+ hours each). Curious to see if anyone else can test this, or my games have just been extremely lucky.
I'm a newbie who started this game "a week ago"...... tq for sharing these tips.......
however, I've got a prob........ my game gets stuck/freezes in between just for a second or two.........
any suggestions on clearing this prob?! ..... I'm waiting for a response from tech supp tho!
I see you've snuck some small plazas beneath the roads.
I was playing around with it to see how well it works but it's kind of whatever... You don't get that much of a boost because houses can only benefit from a decoration type once. Plus you don't see the plazas since they are clipped under the road. Most of us are thinking that it's a bug and will probably be fixed.
how did you manage to build that road? in my game the people don't care about it, when I make it a priority the people still don't care about it, is that a bug? please help!
How can u upgrade a house when it's ready for a next lvl, when u have the auto upgrade turned off..?
You sound a LOT like James Evan Pilato from Media Monarchy (YT channel and site)
Oh dear me, I've been using temp shelters for the wrong thing, rip.
That's ok a lot of us did lol
I was using temp shelters outside of town in various locations if it looked like a winter storm might catch some villagers out and about, sort of like a travelers inn.
@@wastedwatts hm good idea . i was never sure what to do with thous temphouses so i never build the, but i sounds like it could help me on my project of waling from one side of the map to the otherside just to see if it keeps raiders out and stop them spawning near my fields. It takes ages....
@@voltanaares2408 Not sure if a temp shelter can help with raiders, but it might help a villager or two survive.
@@wastedwatts No no the temp shelters should speed up the building of the great wall and the wall shall keep the rifrafs out. thats the plan . and if the workforce can eat in the temp homes we can get more then one log or one hamerstrike done untill they went home
I love this game but after getting almost 200 pop I got significant fps drops even going to 1 fps at times it’s already unplayable.
Is anyone else having issue of game dropping to like 10 fps after you hit over 500 population and load the game? It remains consistently low fps which forces me to start new city every time.
Yeah, we can upgrade well as well. LOL.😆
Well you have to be sure that you know that you can upgrade the whale as well because well it's a better well... I'll leave now
Well by golly, lets get a better well, so we are all well and ..... so on.
Willows bugged something terrible, hopefully they sort it, I believe it's something to do with it being too close to the water.
That's a map generation issue that they are going to be resolving in the patch! It doesn't happen all the time
@@TakaUA-cam oh man I've built this great city but can't make medicine or baskets and traders never bring willow! So frustrating
Not only willows got 3 deadly berrybushes and 4 stones that try to drown or starf my idiots to death.
@@voltanaares2408 looking forward to it then! Any idea when it comes out?
@@snigie1 Word is that the patch text is out there and it is speculated that the patch will come somewhat between 4 days ago and a month. 4 days ago i found the first mention of the new patch.
i like your base. Can you show me your base layout design?
some people state root cellars must be built near the market for best efficiency. What’s your feedback?
It's because of how buggy markets are right now. According to the building text, the market is supposed to distribute goods to homes so people don't have to go and stock their own shelters. This is not happening and markets don't always pick up and stock all of the necessary goods that homes might need. This leads to a lot of wandering around looking for stuff. Until they address markets and how broken they are, yes, it is a good idea to disable all foods in a market and have your root cellars near your homes. This does increase the travel time that your food production may have to take to store it, but that should be alleviated in a future patch when they add the quota system.
@@TakaUA-cam I was thinking root cellars could be near the market also, but in early game play, before a market is installed, it will need to be central to the homes as if a market. I don't think the cellar has a negative influence on the housing either.
@@wastedwatts I think the biggest bonus to putting markets and storage near each other is for when you need to put a rat catcher out. You may only need one for one area instead of 3 or 4 in separate areas cluttering up your city with rat catcher huts...
@@yeahtube69 I have noticed none of my villagers want to live near the rat catcher. I moved the rat catcher a few times and each time the villagers abandon their homestead even though the catcher's hut doesn't show a negative effect before placement.
Something else is driving down your desirability.. It's not the rat catcher. I have them amongst my homes as well and no desirability ever drops.
beo why i cant relocate my berry bush?
Can you build into mountains, or do you need to flatten 2 blocks at a time and build walls all the way up the mountain to be full protected?
I have built into mountains, so far only animals have come over the crest of the mountain, all armies have attacked the gates and walls and don't go around them.
decorations now stack?
They do normally, but some reported they were having issues getting houses to upgrade to homesteads with decorations.
I can't seem to figure out why sometimes my building gets to 10% health before it gets repaired sometimes it gets repaired automatically
We don't know if it's an event or if it's just part of the bug but it's called structural integrity issues.. regardless it's bugged all around and you normally need to save and reload. The buildings won't be fully repaired but it should allow the repair to take place.
How do you have so much food, I mean like 13 months or sth?
Good food production and barrels in all of my storage buildings that are holding food to increase lifespan.
Lol I be having 23 months
I mean it just depends on your current progress in the game. On my Twitch stream City that we've been building I usually have an average of 20 to 25 months of food. But that city is a lot more advanced than this one. So bragging about having 23 months food isn't really that big of a deal depending on how far along you are
@@TakaUA-cam Okay damn, so my city is at about 400 People. I have 13 fishing huts, 7 hunters, kill about 4 cows every year. Could u just for comparison tell me how u produce ur food?
@@cheesse9yearsand Damn how haha
HOW DO YOU PRODUCE IRON TO BUILD A VAULT TO STORE GOLD IN ORDER TO UPGRADE YOUR TOWN CENTER TO LEVEL 3?
OH GREAT, NOW YOU'RE GOING INTO TIER 3 AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IRON AND GOLD INGOTS. DUMBEST GAME EVER. THIS IS WHY I HAVE THOUSANDS OF HOURS ON BANISHED, NOT GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THIS GAME AT THIS RATE.
I have built 4 towns of 400 people. I have a very good system for them sustaining themselves. I have still never had a single Homestead upgrade to the next level.. Thanks for showing that you can upgrade the decorations. I am not sure that I agree with your roads versus gardens strategy as roads contribute to likability as well. Also building a well at your extremely far distance worksites will help people stay hydrated. My last city currently has 416 people and about 15000 gold.. You can work that trader to be a money generator.
Another useful Trick: Minimizing game slowdowns. It doesnt matter how good your PC is, you will start to experience slowdowns and short freezes after your town reaches certain population. For me that number was around 700 - 800. What I have noticed is that most slowdowns are related to number of tasks on the map i have set. Harvest, planting , building (like long walls), upgrades (walls again) set these tasks in smaller number but more frequently to have smoother gameplay and less freezes. That way I went with almost no change in performance all the way to 1 000 and still could handle hundreds more I guess.
my resident eats like no tomorrow .........how to increase food ?
Hey👋
I am not finding a hay options yet for cows. Surely the game maker isn't thinking cows can bet by on grain? That tends to make cows sick and die if they eat grain too often.
im on 80yrs but damn the amount of houses you need to build to increase the population is meh i hope they change that everytine it upgrades.
True, got to have some better housing, or homesteads for those with more than one infant, or toddler. If they get older, send them to work, lol.
I can't believe how stupid I am
so blurry asf. please record in 4k
loved the tips though.
It's in 1440p which is perfectly fine... 4k recording and uploading requires a lot more than just "doing it" and not something I'm going to do sorry.
I hope the road thing is a bug. I hate that part of the game.
This game is gorgeous, but there are absolutely no tutorials on jack shit. You literally go into this game blind.
