Loving the series Darren, keep it up. From my experience you're gonna need a soap maker, I built mine fairly early and didn't really have sicknesses, also it's a good item to trade. I also think homesteads are using it. (not sure though). Others I think already mentioned that the wells need some coverage, if you have trees around them they generally do better. Staggering when the crops are planted help avoiding them failing to plant them as well. Also, your food categories are: proteins (meat and eggs), grains (bread), fruit and veg, dairy (milk and cheese) I think. But you'll be able to see that if you hover over the food on the top bar. 😊 Also build that mill, you've been talking about that for two episodes now 🤣 pub as well, they'll keep your villagers happier as they still provide desirability and entertainment even if they don't yet sell beer. At least in my experience in the past two days playing.
I was going to say that I don't think his crops are being planted. Because I had the same issue once I expanded from one field into 4 fields. Eventually Crops were not planted on any of them. It wasn't the planting only, actually. They also didn't do the maintenance anymore. I did not figure I would have to stagger planting because I did assign a sufficient amount of people. I had 8x8 fields being worked by 4 people each. But I couldn't make them pant for several years and eventually reloaded my old save file that only had one field. Could you elaborate, how exactly you fixed this? EDIT: I just read on the devs' forums that it is a bug. That saving and reloading the game is a workaround and that they address the bug in the upcoming patch.
@@Xorgrim I might just been lucky then, for me it worked fine until I had only two fields with 2 farmers each, but once I built a third one (had to put it a bit further away due to fertility) they started to do the not planting part. They were still doing maintenance though. So what I did is I dragged the icons a bit so on one field they would start planting as soon as they can, then the next one a bit later (I guess it's like a month for the gap) and the third one again a bit later. What I noticed is that the farmers help each other out, so they all go and plant on a farm, then go to the next one. It works fine when you plant on one and do maintenance on the other as they go plant, then whilst those grow they go do maintenance on the other. But I was also thinking it may be a bug, if it is hopefully will get resolved soon.
Not sure if you took this point under consideration when placing your animals grazing pasture, but grazing in an area helps improve fertility in the area, so can expand the farms that way. :)
Need to make your farms 10x10 to do that (I think). Well, or you can later make your field whatever size you want after you change the cows to a different location. But if you make your fields 10x10, you can let cows graze inside the field.
You may want to relocate the zoning ( or directly the building ) of ALL of your hunter and gatherers since you seems to have forgotten you have 4 of them in the middle of your settlement
I had the same Failed to Plant issue and saw on Reddit that you should stagger when crops are planted - I haven't had this error since I started staggering the plant and harvest times. Apparently, all the farmers plant or harvest a field at the same time, rather than working individual fields so if another one is supposed to be planted at that time, the farmers may not get to it in time. If you're doing all three fields, don't have them all start planting once the season begins - plant one, on the second start it a bit later and still later on the third. The same for harvesting. Farmers also gather honey so I've moved my apiaries closer to my farms and put some gardens near them.
Personally I would like it if you left the original town as the "old town" area more rural and how it is. You've done a great job with making it look organic. Then the other newer town area can be a bit more gridlike and it could give a nice contrast. Love the series so please keep it up.
I had "Failed to begin planting" and clearing out all planted items from each season, while paused, running for a second and then entering the data again stopped it. It kept happening every season until I did that. FWIW. Good series!
Once you have the trade building you can park your wagon next to it and tell the trade building to stock pile what is in the wagon. Move the wagon away once empty then unstock pile it and it goes to the storage building. Also uncheck everything in the wagon you dont want to gather once you have the storage building built.
Okay, Darren. You've convinced me with your playthroughs.....I just bought the game. BTW, I've really enjoyed your videos and they are great tutorials as well. Kudos!
Hey Darren. Finally caught up in this series. Loving it so far (yes, you cost me money. AGAIN). I thought I remembered you saying in an earlier episode that the doctor needs to be educated, but I believe your first doctor is still on the job selling snake oil. Have you tried switching him out to one of your newly educated people to see if it changes anything? Thanks for yet another great LP!
Great episode, nice to see your town growing. I noticed you didn't check the other farms after you fixed one of them, I think you have to do the same to the others. Also remember the mill, bakery and pub since you moved those houses :)
Great series mate! Keep up the good work. I could be wrong but I think your "mobile stockyard ox looking thing" in the forest south of the town needs wood ticked again so the villagers store there.
For the Cholera issue, i was watching another playthrough and the surrounding terrain can effect it, it can also evaporate/take longer to fill up or will refill slower if there no tree coverage (IE, direct sunlight)
It seems like perhaps only the farmers gather honey and wax from the bees Apiary, which can easily mess things up for the farmers primary tasks. Maybe just build one or two right by the farms for now.
Hi Darren, i have read in a game review that farmers go to get the honey from the apiary. Maybe that is why they are not working the fields? Loving the serie keep it up! 👍
Really loving the series Darren. Keep up the good work. Could you please do me a favor though... the fence that is clipping with your wall on the west end of your town is looking so ugly; couldn't you just get rid of the fence... the cows probably won't pass the wall either :)
hey Darren i know that im late to the party here but i had a thought why not move all of the berry bushes to the swamp land next to the residential area so that the forgers there can steady collect the berries . insuring a renewable resource of food
Hmmm… would building fences/walls improves the happened per housing? It would make sense considering that’s how modern day urban design is built spin. A house, a garden, a wall, footpath and then the roads.
just found your series and i am learning the game by watching you :) hope you will continue to make series on this game, maybe on a higher difficulty? :)
There are a number of options for protection from raiders. Towers can be part of that scheme, but keep in mind they are expensive to have and pay for, which is suppose is the wage for the archer.
Love the game. Swords is looking great, but you are still losing hundred of vegetables every year to spoilage. You need to build a cooper (barrel maker).
Hi Darren, have you ever thought about playing "Going Medieval". It is also early access but well supported and a really strong game. It is a cross between Rimworld and DF and Gnomoria and this. It looks like you would really enjoy it as a Lets Plays or just for yourself. Have a look and if you ever do some Lets Play I will definitely watch. It is about 30% of it's goals but TBH they could release it now as complete, or mostly complete. They do a fresh patch at least once a month, covering content and performance.
You can, but its bugged so when you take it out of the trader it doesnt move anywhere it just sits in the trader building (but not in the trader inventory, its physically just stuck at the building)
great series, loving every episode, i am considering buying a gaming lap top to play this game and similar games, could you share your pc/lap top specs as it seems to run really smooth for you, the laptop i have at moment runs it too laggy and graphics are terrible, kind regards
During winter “fodder” should be at 0 I think, but people should deliver vegetables and grain for the “food store” in the barn. If they arent… then im not sure whats wrong, unless you’re out of grain and vegetables?
@@WhatDarrenPlays i see.ill try it later coz i make all my grain to flour every time winter come. My farm still small only 6x5 with 300-400 wheat every harvest each year so yeah maybe out of grain. Also my forager not include any green stuff so no vegetables at storage so maybe yes it is that
@@WhatDarrenPlays yea tried it already and confirmed . the fodder in here means root vegetables or grain we dont use so can be "fodder" for cow when winter came... thx for helping me!!
Multiple markets in the same small space seems wasteful since the idea was to provide one market per housing area, so it would make sense to grow housing areas around a market. Since an upgraded market influences more area, you don't want to jam markets together, or some influence will be lost. If the programming changes how influence stacks, then a different scheme would make sense.
Maybe the markets doubled up before the latest patch, they do not anymore. It will say 5 income while putting the second one down, but once it's built it will say 0 income. if all the houses are doubles. As for fences they are pointless unless you can defend the entire wall otherwise they will simply break through and continue on.
The RTS part of this game is a bit clunky. I hope they improve it until release. I don't know if it's in the game, but having a specialized army, with archers, guards, etc would be cool
Darren can you please check if UA-cam has messed with your video quality as is stuck 480p on my end and I've checked another videos and they are playing 1080p
I can’t get hunters to hunt boar either. I think boar have to be trapped before they can be killed. So I believe lvl 2. That is unless the boar attack you
Oh, you must have made this recording while the extra storage cart was still an option in the wagon shop. Not sure why you are saying you have a lot of laborers not doing anything. They are the ones harvesting your wood, stone, berries, willow, building roads, and other things you identified for harvesting. When the number of laborers goes low and red, you will notice your are running low, or out of all that stuff and roads and other things are not being tasked.

If they are all busy, no need to move them since they don't seem to affect housing.

Don't care much for the military way of organizing things? I can understand that, but it does tend to speed up activities.
Checking UA-cam for the last 2 hours waiting for this. Yes!. Thank you Darren
My favorite arc in your anoo 1800 series is the sickness arc in swords, this is a beautiful tribute to that arc. Thank you Darren, love this gameplay.
Great series Darren! Please keep it going!!
I had "Failed to begin planting" and clearing out all planted items from each season, while paused, running for a second and then entering the data again stopped it. It kept happening every season until I did that. FWIW. Good series!
This was a great episode, loving the expansion. Great boom in population and food stocks as well, good job.
Once you have the trade building you can park your wagon next to it and tell the trade building to stock pile what is in the wagon. Move the wagon away once empty then unstock pile it and it goes to the storage building. Also uncheck everything in the wagon you dont want to gather once you have the storage building built.
From the way the UI is set up, this would probably work
Okay, Darren. You've convinced me with your playthroughs.....I just bought the game. BTW, I've really enjoyed your videos and they are great tutorials as well. Kudos!
Hey Darren, the fence around the orchard has a gap opposite the town wall gate, so wildlife could still potentially get into it. Loving the series!
loving the daily vids for this!
I'm so glad I watched Clarksons farm. Never would have made it without it.. 😀
I think tree coverage affects water availability, good series man keep it up
Maybe it does, but press I and look for the deeper blue since it will provide more water faster.

cholera might also be because the poop isnt being collected, i remember there is a building that does that.
oops, you had the compost yard all along, nvm :D
For the Cholera issue, i was watching another playthrough and the surrounding terrain can effect it, it can also evaporate/take longer to fill up or will refill slower if there no tree coverage (IE, direct sunlight)
Interesting. Maybe because he built next to that swamp
@@nocontent4487 see maybe bit then he built one in the swamp later and it gave like an 82% yield
Not sure about the tree cover for a Weill, but locations is likely an issue, suggesting bad water spot.
Really want that mill to go down! You kept talking about it and never did lol
It seems like perhaps only the farmers gather honey and wax from the bees Apiary, which can easily mess things up for the farmers primary tasks. Maybe just build one or two right by the farms for now.
Nice work. You know, you could build a barrel maker in order to reduce your food from going bad.
Needs Iron, don’t have it yet!

"Someone just dropped poop on the ground...great tactic."
LOL, yeah, the villagers are great at dropping stuff whenever they take a mind to, as the programming dictates.
really enjoying this series!!! :)
hey Darren i know that im late to the party here but i had a thought why not move all of the berry bushes to the swamp land next to the residential area so that the forgers there can steady collect the berries . insuring a renewable resource of food
I do something kinda similar soon!
I have been moving them around various structures and the cellar makes a great deal of sense because the berries tend to be stored there.
You've done a great job
💯💋
Bakery, Mill, Pub :D and Ep.6 please LOL
Tree coverage affects the wells!
Interesting idea.
You need to keep tree for water sources
Loving the series!
I think the wells are empty because there is no tree in the area. In the description of the well says this if I'm not rong.
Very nice and smart gameplay! Greetings from Brazil.
Video is here I am also here ❣️❣️❣️
Nice to watch it...i hope it last a little longer
Hmmm… would building fences/walls improves the happened per housing?
It would make sense considering that’s how modern day urban design is built spin.
A house, a garden, a wall, footpath and then the roads.
Generall speaking, roads running past the front door of houses has a positive influence, so yes, roads are a good idea.
Seemed to be more water to the right of the new town. Maybe should have built the town there so the wells would produce more.
Indeed, the darker spots after pressing I is a great indicator for where water is higher in quantity.
Someone just dropped poop on the floor - great tactic 😂❤
just found your series and i am learning the game by watching you :) hope you will continue to make series on this game, maybe on a higher difficulty? :)
Possibly when it gets more updates I can do a new run with harder start and difficulty!
more wells wil help with sickness. And Darren i have been following you since Bannor Lord i believe
Thx for the upload
Your third field could use some sand!
G.Day Darren,are you aware you put a Gate next to where your Cattle are, just checking🤔
Someone just dropped poop on the ground, great tactic!
My first playthrough is not going well. I put small stone wall around my fields and no one will work the fields
Sounds like you are missing a gate.
Maybe put watchtowers near the entrance
There are a number of options for protection from raiders. Towers can be part of that scheme, but keep in mind they are expensive to have and pay for, which is suppose is the wage for the archer.
Love the game. Swords is looking great, but you are still losing hundred of vegetables every year to spoilage. You need to build a cooper (barrel maker).
It requires Iron Ingots, which is Tier 3
My bad. I was only looking at the cost of the Cooper building, not the barrels made within.
Was shouting at the screen (well, whispered shout) “Give out the weapons!” 😅
In early game play weapons are limited and it is likely hunters will complain about not having enough ammo to chase deer.
Nice game

Could you not transfer the wood to the trader, so they get it from the storage cart, and then transfer it back to town storage proper? Just a thought.
You can, but its bugged so when you take it out of the trader it doesnt move anywhere it just sits in the trader building (but not in the trader inventory, its physically just stuck at the building)

GG keep up ❤️🤠
bees do well near fields and orchards 2
keep it up ❤️
Definitely need a soap maker
does anyone know how to get fodder for barn? mine still 0 for 6 years game. it is wheat ?
Fodder is the quality of the grass in the Grazing zone that you set. Click set grazing, pick a fertile place and the fodder quality should be good
@@WhatDarrenPlays oh i mean the extra one for barn when winter come. i cant get it no matter what i do. (Still not tier 3) it is in tier 3?

People, if they have firewood, can cook raw meat. That could be were the meat that did not expire went.
Please just build that mill ^^ xD

Need more food storage
Food and storage, a never ending task to keep up with.
Maybe the markets doubled up before the latest patch, they do not anymore. It will say 5 income while putting the second one down, but once it's built it will say 0 income. if all the houses are doubles. As for fences they are pointless unless you can defend the entire wall otherwise they will simply break through and continue on.
Plant more trees in the town
Sounds expensive.
The RTS part of this game is a bit clunky. I hope they improve it until release.
I don't know if it's in the game, but having a specialized army, with archers, guards, etc would be cool
That is limited by gold, weapons' and other details, so you would be talking tier 3 town center.
Where’s the promised shrine?
Next ep!
Darren can you please check if UA-cam has messed with your video quality as is stuck 480p on my end and I've checked another videos and they are playing 1080p
The last video for me I only had a choice of 144P or 720P I usually watch videos at 480p because my phone constantly loads otherwise
Damn Sertorias left Janya to be with Seraka….. Drama!
I can’t get hunters to hunt boar either. I think boar have to be trapped before they can be killed. So I believe lvl 2. That is unless the boar attack you
build more wells and the sickness will go away, you just have one well near the houses...........
Interesting thought.
🔥🔥
Yes!!!
I think they failed to plant the crop because you haven't added sand to improve soil quality?
It is more likely an issue with few farmers tasked to do too much at the same time, but the soil is an issue.
Cool

Iyoo!!
Here we go again… over complicated simple things
Indeed, they did automate a lot, but just got a lot more going on to keep the player busy checking, moving, watching, and scratching of the head.
Eh buta
omg the fact you knew you could build more storage carts meant all that talking and complaining wasn't necessary.
