Hey I've done a ton more research and have actually figured out how to get to 100 mood (you can actually get 105 but it won't show over 100) and broke down the exact numbers and impact each mood effecting modification can have. ua-cam.com/video/7lv0Xt2x5lQ/v-deo.htmlsi=rZ5ZyJ7avvNHl8J4
Your video was more informative than 4 pages of searches, I appreciate the substantial effort you put into the guide. As a viewer this video format was very effective at conveying information without feeling overwhelming or drawn out. Thanks again 🙏
Great video, perfect length and very informative. I love how you show the base mood level, and then incrementally add things showing how they affect mood. And don't be too hard on yourself, you're doing a great job on the videos I have seen!
Your voice is perfect for this , your explanations are well executed, and i can tell you practice and rewrite. Dont sell yourself short. Always leave a video with a positive ..... example, don't say i hope to be good one day. Say we are getting better all the time. Your input always helps . You can white liea bit say i used to be too shy to do anything like this but my Fiance encouraged me to start making videos ,,, that pulls alot of diffrent strings on the viewers heart
Haha thanks sorry still kinda new to this and the people that I like to watch are super polished so I'm getting there but thank you so much! Honestly I do it because I love video games and I want more people to get more enjoyment out of their games, or to try new ones.
I was given to understand the size of the house helped with their mood, thanks for clarifying this. They're all getting the smallest ones now with the upgrades.
Bro!! I literally started this game yesterday. I watched lots of videos. Yours is the only one I subscribed to. Absolute perfect delivery. No nonsense and 100% efficiency. Thank you
I've just come back to the game in the last few days and the changes are amazing! I was there in the SUPER early access days, it was nuts. Your format, pacing, and humour are all fantastic and the editing was really solid! You've earned a sub and an admirer as a fellow UA-camr!
Really well put together guide, how and why things happen what to do to change it I’ve not been playing it for long so didn’t know about the decoration aspects was wondering how to do it so the hammer thing helped😅 good vid
Actually, that was done extremely well and was very informative. I was not aware that mood had an impact on production capability. I currently have 50 people in my village and am not having any problems with the village financially, I am at a crossroads of which direction best to head in terms of maximizing making money.
I found the window decorations quite by accident, as well as the wall and rafters, but I could not figure out the doors and shutters. Now that I know you have to go outside... well, yeah, feeling a bit sheepish, ha ha. Thanks for the video, 7! Also, very helpful, subbed.
I don't typically sub after 1 video, but you managed to get it with this video. Didn't even look at your page yet lol, but if they are all as put together and informative as this then I'll be happy. Keep up the good work
Very helpful indeed, just what I was looking for. Many thanks. I don’t know what makes you think you aren’t good at content making. You use clear accurate Language, don’t “Ummm and errr” constantly, don’t yell at us as though we’re in a field and best of all, set out your information in a logical order in a concise manner. I think you are very good at this! 👌🏻 09:00 Never seen this before, that is one agile villager, and one rude pig!
Hey, just came across your video and wanted to thank you for a great tutorial! I just started playing this game and I'm loving it, but find a lot of the stuff confusing so thanks for clearing up some questions regarding the people!!
I had no idea that you could add decorations to houses! Here's me trying to build all big Houses of bare stone walls and plank roofs because that's what I thought was the best way to raise mood. You're pulling off 100% with Small Simple Houses!
@Andrea Holcock Actually no. Stones and planks aren't the insulation materials, daub and limestone are. I always make sure to insulate my walls but that's not what I was talking about. I was saying that because I didn't know about adding decorations to raise mood I was literally tearing down all the simple small houses in order to build the biggest houses for everyone because I thought that was the only way to maximize mood. Turns out I probably could have just swapped out the low tier walls and roofs for higher tier materials and added decorations and been just fine.
Very new player. Just hit 2 years and 4 villagers. This information is going to be so useful. Thank you. Oh and I loved the horse whinnies as you were talking.
@@the-great-awekener In my hard mode play through? The farm is doing ok. I finally have pigs running fertilizer, and I think the foot print is finally large enough. I'm more worried about the kitchens at this point lol.
@CundanEowbrs well there's a difference between decorating the village and decorating the houses. Putting out stools, tables, torches etc around the village won't do anything for townsfolk mood. Decorating their houses will give them the mood increase.
Guessing it's because I have zero king rep but max I can get is ~80. Also I learned a cool trick. I had a kitchen I and I unlocked kitchen II and I already had my village kinda mapped and didn't want to rework everything so I selected to build kitchen 2 and wanted to see if it took up roughly the same space as kitchen 1. It snapped to kitchen 1 with new walls. I clicked and the majority of the work (foundation and frames) remained and I only needed to rework the walls. The same went for smithy 2 and the storages. I wasted so much resources deconstruction of all the buildings
Yeah you can do that with all the production buildings. Smith, workshop, sewing hut etc. Just slap em right on the pre-existing frame. I dunno if it works for houses though. I don't think so. I think you need a "good" king to get to 100 but you should be able to get 90 without the king. The trick is making sure they're in the right job.
@@7CGames dunno if you already have or plan on but a video on what happens when you take over with your heir would be cool. Trying to figure out how his stats are increasing as my son grows too. Quests or mood effect it maybe?
It's more complicated now. It used to just be an avg mom's skills and dad's skills but now there's a few stages. I think it's age 0, 7, and 14. O could try to put together a video on it though. It'd probably take me a while though because I'd probably want to actually show the various stages which would take several in game years.
This is good science here. I have really bad ADHD and it makes it different learning things the way others do. This was perfect. Started at base and went thoroughly through everything testing it out. I’ll definitely sub for this, good job! P.S. you can also decorate the plain walls on the outside of the house with shelves and stuff!
Oh man thank you so much I'm glad it helped! Yeah the new reliefs that came with the last update are quickly becoming some of my favorite decorations lol.
@@7CGames I haven’t got a chance to try them out yet! Been busy building the main layout of my village. It stretches for quite a ways so filling in all the extra space has been difficult trying to come up with creative ideas 😂 definitely gonna take some time to decorate houses though, I had no idea the mood affected production THAT much!
@@MarbleBoyProductions Yeah it's crazy how much it helps! Although you don't need to go too berzerk on decorations there's a max of 10% increase (1% for each decoration) so even though there's dozs of slots to decorate with you'll only get credit for 10. The reliefs are really cool a bit expensive to unlock I think $750 each but they only require 2 planks to make and there's a ton of different animals they're really cool looking.
@@7CGamesI’ll make sure to remember that 😂 thanks for the info and tips! I’ll be hopefully doing a village walkthrough myself before not too long, just need that darn tavern 😂 great videos man I’ll definitely check out more!
Dude you just showed me how to see their skill.. lol. I got the ability to see it but only know do I know how. I usually find out stuff when it has nothing to do with the video. The length and information was perfect.
very cool! I just started playing and i haven't hardly built anything yet but when looking at resources to build best walls for example and knowing they help reduce firewood need and keep them happier i'm like, ,why not build best walls, not like it takes that much longer, and i'd hopefully not have to repair them as often I assume. But knowing how much if effects mood and productivity makes even more sense. I been reading a lot of people saying in tips videos to slow down, ,take time, etc.. So i think I'll try upgrading my homes as much as i possibly can as I go and again I don't care if it takes more time to do so if it ends up with a better result in the long run. (apparently people tend to expand villages too quickly building all buildings as fast as possible which leads to issues for some people)
Thank you so much glad it helped! Yeah I go quality over quantity as much as I can in this game. Best materials is better mood in houses and less repairs in job sites. Oh, when you upgrade the storage try to do it at night so you don't disrupt your workers deposits!
They can increase their skills in the other categories, as they work it. And as they get better at it, they get happier. Raising their chances of having a higher level skilled child.
@@7CGames currently on easy mode and trying to get them with skills of 10 in at least 3 categories before they have kids. I just keep rotating them. But, I'm on season 4 and doing 30 day seasons, for now.
@@Sk8rRdHd Well the thing is just like with Racimir they don't grow their skill trees at the same rate. Getting a townsfolk to lvl 10 diplomacy is stupid easy, farming is really easy too, but getting them lvl 10 extraction or production is a really long hard process.
@@7CGames not on easy level, it isn't, lol. I already have them with 2 10 lvl skills each, just about. But, that's ok for my first time thru. The wife is a hunter level 10 and I moved her to wood worker since she's in her second trimester now, I believe, and can keep her closer to home and I have a second wood worker for when she stops working. One of the things I'm glad that I did was make the wife my first worker, even before married. So that she was easier to flirt with and get her effection up. Didn't have to hunt her down to flirt and started upping her skills sooner. I know that I'm going to lose half of my work force when the babies start pouring in since everyone is coupled up. So, the better I can utilize the ones that can work, the better.
@@Sk8rRdHd Yeah when I'm picking a wife I have her move into town first too haha helps get her skills up so our kid comes out better. Yeah I keep everyone in 3 bed houses instead of 4 to mitigate the population boom and huge maternity leave.
Not bad.. not bad at all. I will put that to use, with the houses. Only at around 12 inhabitants, but expanding fast to make use of the villagers work.
Nice thank you so much glad it helped! Although now that you can upgrade the bed I might need another video to test it's effects as well. I'd assume it's probably 1% like everything else
@@7CGames so the baseline, with a home, a wife and a kid, is around 55-60% mood. While the other lonely ones are hovering around the 46-52%.. Even though most of mine, seem to have a small green arrow up, nothing much happens
@@7CGames One percent for every wall of the house, decorations, and what else is missing.. because it doesn't seem to give around 40% more. Placing lights, and walls in the village or what am I missing.. I need those extra percent in their work, because I am just going by with tools and taxes atm.. So I still need to scrounge loot, go sell crops and go hunting myself, when I should be building more stuff
Thanks for explaining, it helps a lot! I'm wondering though. I think I saw you could insulate work buildings as well. Does that help with their mood in any way, or should you just stick to the houses with that?
Awesome I'm glad it helped! Yeah you can insulate work buildings too it doesn't help with mood but it does make them more durable so when you get a season change you'll have a little less running around fixing all the broken buildings.
Do you mean what buildings do you need to be close to your workers? Only the farm shed really. The barn workers will start work right at 8am I think even if they're still walking to work. Same with everyone except farmers. The farmers need to walk to the farm shed, then walk to the field. So where you put their house and how close you can get the field to the farm shed are important. Every other building you can put wherever you want!
If you need to upgrade a building from a lower level to a higher you can do so without destroying to the first one. Just "build" in same place and you just pay the different in build materials.
Wait right over top of the existing frame? I thought it'd be red because it's occupied. I thought you had to bust down the wall and remake it with the better wall. Wild I gotta mess around with that!
No they're just as happy with dried meat as they are with cherry pies. The only thing having those fancy cooked meals does is they're worth way more units/item. So as you get a bigger town you need a ton more dried meat but not a lot of bread or fish tarts etc. The house/job is the only thing I've found effecting mood.
Here I was thinking I knew something about the game. Fun fact.. i did not know alot of what you told me here. Thanks. If you are still reading this.. simple question: does isolation on workplaces give them a mood boost? Or just their house?
Oh thank you so much I'm glad it helped! No insulating a workshop or blacksmith etc. seems to make it need less repairs between seasons but doesn't increase production.
In an indirect way it should. They get exp based on how much they do in a day. So a lvl 3 extraction with 80% happiness gets more logs than a lvl 3 you just hired. So that 80% one should also lvl faster.
Are the quests necessary in the beginning? They are so far apart and often beyond my skills or time to complete in the days set. I’m more of a farmer method than hunter. How to endure? Got a night hunt in the first summer as I’m still learning the skills let alone materials, failed of course though accomplished a few others.
I think you have to talk to your uncle for the initial start and building a house but after that absolutely no quests are necessary. You do have to do the chapter stuff though. The chapter quest line is nothing story related but it does lock you into population and building limits so getting those done will allow you to get the maximum out of your city.
No not for mood, and they won't harvest any more either. The thing tool quality effects is how quickly they break them so they'll use less of them and you can have your blacksmiths making excess that you can sell.
Very informative. I have one question: people say take it slow and do alot yourself first two seasons but i think it's better to get help asap. What you think? Like in season 2 i have 7 villagers all couples so i can fit them in 4 houses to increase production and them leveling faster ? The tools i make myself and put them in resource storage but it seems some are not collecting them so is it better to put them in the trunk of each production building instead?
Thank you! Glad it helped! I do wait a bit just so I can have time to get established. I like to have not just the work stations but also the storage set up so I don't have to manually move items around. I also like over building on houses and keeping couples separate for a bit just to get them to maybe lvl 5 or so before having kids. Also the more you do yourself the faster you get your tech and skill points up. They go WAY faster when you do things vs townsfolk doing things. They'll pull tools from resource as they need. I know it sounds weird but 2 lumberjacks only need 1 axe it just degrades faster lol. Once they break it they'll get another.
I found this video quite informative. Point of curiosity, though. If you train them to level 10 in a skill they don't love (i.e., level 1 diplomacy to level 10 diplomacy), do they change their dialogue?
Help my villager is stuck at 95% happiness, they are in a simple small house, all rugs on the floor, all straw himmelis on the roof, all stone walls (some windows) insulated with tiled roof, level 10 farming in a henhouse. Am I missing something?
Getting the 90-100% has been throwing me off too. I don't know if it's dependent on a king? I know doing the herald job for a "good" king will give mood increase but I've also had 100% on some townsfolk that I've never done a king job for. That last 5% and how I got it is still eluding me. I know there are a few seasonal events that will increase or decrease it but those are only for the season.
Yeaah, right, it's a little bit tricky. Noticed changes like that, causing the happiness to go up and down. Think I just got to do some more testing, and see what I can figure out. Thanks man, keep up the amazing work!
Wait which guy? I know a lot of names repeat. I've seen npcs you can buy off of named the same as some of the townfolk you can recruit. It also through me off when I recruited a guy named Racimar (not Racimir) lol
Did you do all the side quests to get that much rep? Im on the last chapter mission, and its +500 rep (seemingly) for 1 new villager, but side quests are giving 50 a pop. I will say im yet to check anywhere but Gro for another Main storyline as ive just finished Unie and Alwin
@@temonte yeah I did every side thing, the Alwin one, all the story stuff, everything. Even Alwin's gives you some good reputation. The unfortunate thing is when everything dries up you're left with generic ones which you're right are usually only 50. Some of them that require multiple steps (I think like the tailor competition one that sends you to hornica) they might have a bit more but it's all RNG on which townsfolk have which quests. The only thing you can manipulate is if you have a huge town with a LOT of people, the more people you have the higher likely hood that it's YOUR people that have quests so at least it's less running around.
@@7CGames that must take some time haha. Yeah I have 31 people ATM, can't remember what the settlement type name is but anyways one of my farmers had a quest for me. I just got myself a donkey, so my plan for now is insulate all houses, decorate all houses and then go off to look for quests. I feel like I need one more villager though as I can't seem to craft anymore knives, but the rep block is cock blocking me
@@7CGames already on the last chapter mission, but as I have 10 day seasons I'm just in my second Autumn ATM. Now I'm tryna get jobs done whilst monitoring their needs, I'm not fully self sustainable yet
You may experience fps loss with lighting in your game because you're on a console. I've only experienced fps on a computer when I customized the game to provide maximum buildings.
I'm on PC and an update not too long ago really improved the lighting. I know lighting was an issue for frame rate especially if you really start lighting the houses and putting lanterns out in town but that update improved it a ton. But recently it's been coming back again.
This game is iffy on Xbox I’m def just gonna stick to PC I’m running around trying to find bears and it turns out I killed them all where they can’t even spawn anymore Microsoft needs to just stop accepting game ports some games are better off not coming to console over all great video man helped a lot
They should spawn every season. Unless you've built buildings on their spawn locations. I know most of their spawn locations share locations with mines and if you build a mine the bears will delete. But if you scrap your mine the white icon should return and they should come back in a season.
Better coked food doesn't matter at all ? I mean is easier to give them cabage instead of chery pie if there is no influence at all. How about clothing. They don't need clothes? at all ? No salary ? they work just for free?
Nope townsfolk dress themselves for seasons automatically you only have to worry about you in that regard. No they're just as happy eating dried meat as they are eating cherry pies. The only thing is those big cooked meals count for way higher food value so you need a lot more dried meat to equal far less pies/tarts/bread.
Are you putting it in resource storage or food storage? Also when you add does the number on the management change? It'll show like 500/1000 so it'll show how much is in there now and how much your townsfolk use per day.
@@7CGames Tried all different storages, even put it in the House of my villager. In Management Tab it says 0 still. But Wood works f.e. Thanks for your reply
@@ChyvDso are you putting food and resources in the same storage? There's 2 different buildings. Food goes in food storage and wood/materials goes in resource storage. If you have farmers or hunters they'll automatically put the food and resources in the right buildings.
@@ChyvDso Oh so it was a bug weird I haven't heard of that one yet. I know when most people have issues with townsfolk not getting tools or food or something that it's usually because it's in the wrong storage. Glad you've got it set though!
Hahaha! I'm not really sure the logistics of it I guess that's up to the player imagination. I suppose they could just be more encouraging for them to lay more lol
Love the video. You are very good at this! Keep going and you'll get much better! Your videos in comparison with others are awesome. Jus keep that speech skill, don't become a youtube speaker ;(

The reliefs are really cool a bit expensive to unlock I think $750 each but they only require 2 planks to make and there's a ton of different animals they're really cool looking.
@@7CGamesI’ll make sure to remember that 😂 thanks for the info and tips! I’ll be hopefully doing a village walkthrough myself before not too long, just need that darn tavern 😂 great videos man I’ll definitely check out more!
@@MarbleBoyProductions Thank you so much! Ugh I know thoes 10,000 technology buildings are SO LONG to get lol!
Fantastic tutorial thanks!
Thank you so much! Glad it helped!
I have almost 200 hours and didn't know any of this. Thank you so much.
Oh man I'm so glad it helped!
thats exactly the video i was looking for. thanks so much important information.
Thank you so much I'm glad it helped!
Fascinating and interesting information. Thanks for sharing!
Hey glad it helped! Have fun!
Dude you just showed me how to see their skill.. lol. I got the ability to see it but only know do I know how. I usually find out stuff when it has nothing to do with the video. The length and information was perfect.
Thank you so much glad it was useful!
Thank you, I needed a video like this. Hopefully it's still the same
Thank you so much I'm glad it helped! As far as I know all of this is still currently applicable. I'll update if anything changes.
finally, some intelligent info., TYVM
Thank you so much glad it helped!
Very helpful! Thanks
Thank you glad it helped!
didnt know about decorations cool thank you!
Thank you for watching glad it helped!
Like someone else said, very well presented.
Thank you so much glad it helped!
very cool! I just started playing and i haven't hardly built anything yet but when looking at resources to build best walls for example and knowing they help reduce firewood need and keep them happier i'm like, ,why not build best walls, not like it takes that much longer, and i'd hopefully not have to repair them as often I assume. But knowing how much if effects mood and productivity makes even more sense. I been reading a lot of people saying in tips videos to slow down, ,take time, etc.. So i think I'll try upgrading my homes as much as i possibly can as I go and again I don't care if it takes more time to do so if it ends up with a better result in the long run. (apparently people tend to expand villages too quickly building all buildings as fast as possible which leads to issues for some people)
Thank you so much glad it helped! Yeah I go quality over quantity as much as I can in this game. Best materials is better mood in houses and less repairs in job sites. Oh, when you upgrade the storage try to do it at night so you don't disrupt your workers deposits!
Big help bro keep the videos coming
Thank you so much glad it helped!
Love your videos they are helping me so much!
Thank you so much! Glad it helped!
They can increase their skills in the other categories, as they work it. And as they get better at it, they get happier. Raising their chances of having a higher level skilled child.
Yeah I like to try to get someone with more than 1 lvl 10 so that way their kid comes out more versatile
@@7CGames currently on easy mode and trying to get them with skills of 10 in at least 3 categories before they have kids. I just keep rotating them. But, I'm on season 4 and doing 30 day seasons, for now.
@@Sk8rRdHd Well the thing is just like with Racimir they don't grow their skill trees at the same rate. Getting a townsfolk to lvl 10 diplomacy is stupid easy, farming is really easy too, but getting them lvl 10 extraction or production is a really long hard process.
@@7CGames not on easy level, it isn't, lol. I already have them with 2 10 lvl skills each, just about. But, that's ok for my first time thru.
The wife is a hunter level 10 and I moved her to wood worker since she's in her second trimester now, I believe, and can keep her closer to home and I have a second wood worker for when she stops working.
One of the things I'm glad that I did was make the wife my first worker, even before married. So that she was easier to flirt with and get her effection up. Didn't have to hunt her down to flirt and started upping her skills sooner.
I know that I'm going to lose half of my work force when the babies start pouring in since everyone is coupled up. So, the better I can utilize the ones that can work, the better.
@@Sk8rRdHd Yeah when I'm picking a wife I have her move into town first too haha helps get her skills up so our kid comes out better. Yeah I keep everyone in 3 bed houses instead of 4 to mitigate the population boom and huge maternity leave.
Excellent tutorial video
Thanks a ton glad you liked it!
Not bad.. not bad at all.
I will put that to use, with the houses.
Only at around 12 inhabitants, but expanding fast to make use of the villagers work.
Nice thank you so much glad it helped! Although now that you can upgrade the bed I might need another video to test it's effects as well. I'd assume it's probably 1% like everything else
@@7CGames so the baseline, with a home, a wife and a kid, is around 55-60% mood.
While the other lonely ones are hovering around the 46-52%..
Even though most of mine, seem to have a small green arrow up, nothing much happens
@@7CGames
One percent for every wall of the house, decorations, and what else is missing.. because it doesn't seem to give around 40% more.
Placing lights, and walls in the village or what am I missing..
I need those extra percent in their work, because I am just going by with tools and taxes atm..
So I still need to scrounge loot, go sell crops and go hunting myself, when I should be building more stuff
excellent explanation. very helpful
Thank you so much glad it helped!
Thanks for the informative video. Subscribed
Thank you so much glad it helped!
Thanks for explaining, it helps a lot! I'm wondering though. I think I saw you could insulate work buildings as well. Does that help with their mood in any way, or should you just stick to the houses with that?
Awesome I'm glad it helped! Yeah you can insulate work buildings too it doesn't help with mood but it does make them more durable so when you get a season change you'll have a little less running around fixing all the broken buildings.
Hey thanks for all the vids can you make a guide on farming in this game as well?
Yeah I'm actually trying to set it up now hopefully I can get it out tomorrow maybe? Glad you like my stuff thank you!
Very well presented, very helpful, great pace, great job! Thank you.
Thank you so much glad it was helpful!
Super helpful. Thanks alot. Liked and subscribed. 😊
Thank you so much I'm glad it helped!
Very informative!

0:35 I want that as a ring tone.
Hahaha I might be low key obsessed with it. I haven't cut it from a single video.
@@7CGames I heard it this afternoon when I finished fixing some loose banisters on the deck. 😂
Hahaha that's awesome! Your real life building technology went up lol
Thank you so much !
Thanks for watching glad it helped!
Gracias!
Very useful information
Oh man thank you so much glad it helped!
Thanks
Nice vid thx , if I can ask question .. if have worker at milling , what building have near workers. Thx
Do you mean what buildings do you need to be close to your workers? Only the farm shed really. The barn workers will start work right at 8am I think even if they're still walking to work. Same with everyone except farmers. The farmers need to walk to the farm shed, then walk to the field. So where you put their house and how close you can get the field to the farm shed are important. Every other building you can put wherever you want!
CHEERS!
If you need to upgrade a building from a lower level to a higher you can do so without destroying to the first one. Just "build" in same place and you just pay the different in build materials.
Wait right over top of the existing frame? I thought it'd be red because it's occupied. I thought you had to bust down the wall and remake it with the better wall. Wild I gotta mess around with that!
Does having a variety of food for the villagers to eat improve their mood (as compared to primarily meat)?
No they're just as happy with dried meat as they are with cherry pies. The only thing having those fancy cooked meals does is they're worth way more units/item. So as you get a bigger town you need a ton more dried meat but not a lot of bread or fish tarts etc. The house/job is the only thing I've found effecting mood.
Thanks. It was useful. Greetings from Ukraine.
Thank you so much I'm glad it was helpful! Greetings from New York!
i don't play this game but I'll do my best to keep my villagers happy
Happy villagers really help!
Here I was thinking I knew something about the game. Fun fact.. i did not know alot of what you told me here. Thanks.
If you are still reading this.. simple question: does isolation on workplaces give them a mood boost? Or just their house?
Oh thank you so much I'm glad it helped! No insulating a workshop or blacksmith etc. seems to make it need less repairs between seasons but doesn't increase production.
Does a higher mood increase the rate at which their profession increases?
In an indirect way it should. They get exp based on how much they do in a day. So a lvl 3 extraction with 80% happiness gets more logs than a lvl 3 you just hired. So that 80% one should also lvl faster.
Are the quests necessary in the beginning? They are so far apart and often beyond my skills or time to complete in the days set. I’m more of a farmer method than hunter. How to endure? Got a night hunt in the first summer as I’m still learning the skills let alone materials, failed of course though accomplished a few others.
I think you have to talk to your uncle for the initial start and building a house but after that absolutely no quests are necessary. You do have to do the chapter stuff though. The chapter quest line is nothing story related but it does lock you into population and building limits so getting those done will allow you to get the maximum out of your city.
Does quality of tools the villagers use matter?
No not for mood, and they won't harvest any more either. The thing tool quality effects is how quickly they break them so they'll use less of them and you can have your blacksmiths making excess that you can sell.
Very informative. I have one question: people say take it slow and do alot yourself first two seasons but i think it's better to get help asap. What you think? Like in season 2 i have 7 villagers all couples so i can fit them in 4 houses to increase production and them leveling faster ? The tools i make myself and put them in resource storage but it seems some are not collecting them so is it better to put them in the trunk of each production building instead?
Thank you! Glad it helped! I do wait a bit just so I can have time to get established. I like to have not just the work stations but also the storage set up so I don't have to manually move items around. I also like over building on houses and keeping couples separate for a bit just to get them to maybe lvl 5 or so before having kids. Also the more you do yourself the faster you get your tech and skill points up. They go WAY faster when you do things vs townsfolk doing things.
They'll pull tools from resource as they need. I know it sounds weird but 2 lumberjacks only need 1 axe it just degrades faster lol. Once they break it they'll get another.
I found this video quite informative. Point of curiosity, though. If you train them to level 10 in a skill they don't love (i.e., level 1 diplomacy to level 10 diplomacy), do they change their dialogue?
Thank you so much glad it helped! Actually that's a thing I haven't tested! I'm very curious on that now! I'll have to see this.
Help my villager is stuck at 95% happiness, they are in a simple small house, all rugs on the floor, all straw himmelis on the roof, all stone walls (some windows) insulated with tiled roof, level 10 farming in a henhouse. Am I missing something?
Getting the 90-100% has been throwing me off too. I don't know if it's dependent on a king? I know doing the herald job for a "good" king will give mood increase but I've also had 100% on some townsfolk that I've never done a king job for. That last 5% and how I got it is still eluding me. I know there are a few seasonal events that will increase or decrease it but those are only for the season.
Yeaah, right, it's a little bit tricky. Noticed changes like that, causing the happiness to go up and down. Think I just got to do some more testing, and see what I can figure out.
Thanks man, keep up the amazing work!
Wasn’t the guy at the end someone in the town in the beginning of the game?
Wait which guy? I know a lot of names repeat. I've seen npcs you can buy off of named the same as some of the townfolk you can recruit. It also through me off when I recruited a guy named Racimar (not Racimir) lol
Did you do all the side quests to get that much rep?
Im on the last chapter mission, and its +500 rep (seemingly) for 1 new villager, but side quests are giving 50 a pop. I will say im yet to check anywhere but Gro for another Main storyline as ive just finished Unie and Alwin
Currently just over 7k iirc
@@temonte yeah I did every side thing, the Alwin one, all the story stuff, everything. Even Alwin's gives you some good reputation. The unfortunate thing is when everything dries up you're left with generic ones which you're right are usually only 50. Some of them that require multiple steps (I think like the tailor competition one that sends you to hornica) they might have a bit more but it's all RNG on which townsfolk have which quests. The only thing you can manipulate is if you have a huge town with a LOT of people, the more people you have the higher likely hood that it's YOUR people that have quests so at least it's less running around.
@@7CGames that must take some time haha. Yeah I have 31 people ATM, can't remember what the settlement type name is but anyways one of my farmers had a quest for me. I just got myself a donkey, so my plan for now is insulate all houses, decorate all houses and then go off to look for quests. I feel like I need one more villager though as I can't seem to craft anymore knives, but the rep block is cock blocking me
Oh yeah don't forget the chapters they open up your building limit and give good reputation too.
@@7CGames already on the last chapter mission, but as I have 10 day seasons I'm just in my second Autumn ATM. Now I'm tryna get jobs done whilst monitoring their needs, I'm not fully self sustainable yet
You may experience fps loss with lighting in your game because you're on a console. I've only experienced fps on a computer when I customized the game to provide maximum buildings.
I'm on PC and an update not too long ago really improved the lighting. I know lighting was an issue for frame rate especially if you really start lighting the houses and putting lanterns out in town but that update improved it a ton. But recently it's been coming back again.
This game is iffy on Xbox I’m def just gonna stick to PC I’m running around trying to find bears and it turns out I killed them all where they can’t even spawn anymore Microsoft needs to just stop accepting game ports some games are better off not coming to console over all great video man helped a lot
They should spawn every season. Unless you've built buildings on their spawn locations. I know most of their spawn locations share locations with mines and if you build a mine the bears will delete. But if you scrap your mine the white icon should return and they should come back in a season.
Better coked food doesn't matter at all ? I mean is easier to give them cabage instead of chery pie if there is no influence at all. How about clothing. They don't need clothes? at all ?
No salary ? they work just for free?
Nope townsfolk dress themselves for seasons automatically you only have to worry about you in that regard. No they're just as happy eating dried meat as they are eating cherry pies. The only thing is those big cooked meals count for way higher food value so you need a lot more dried meat to equal far less pies/tarts/bread.
@@7CGames Thanks !
No matter which food i put in storage, its still not showing up or used.. what am i doing wrong
Are you putting it in resource storage or food storage? Also when you add does the number on the management change? It'll show like 500/1000 so it'll show how much is in there now and how much your townsfolk use per day.
@@7CGames Tried all different storages, even put it in the House of my villager. In Management Tab it says 0 still. But Wood works f.e. Thanks for your reply
@@ChyvDso are you putting food and resources in the same storage? There's 2 different buildings. Food goes in food storage and wood/materials goes in resource storage. If you have farmers or hunters they'll automatically put the food and resources in the right buildings.
@@7CGames y tried every storage just to make it work ^^ made a new game now it appears to work finally
@@ChyvDso Oh so it was a bug weird I haven't heard of that one yet. I know when most people have issues with townsfolk not getting tools or food or something that it's usually because it's in the wrong storage. Glad you've got it set though!
and the guy with 100% mood is pulling the additional eggs directly out of the hen asses or how is he increasing the egg number?
Hahaha! I'm not really sure the logistics of it I guess that's up to the player imagination. I suppose they could just be more encouraging for them to lay more lol
@@7CGames hehe, he's petting the hens amd talking to them "oh you are such a handsome hen and you will lay so many precious eggs"
Love the video. You are very good at this! Keep going and you'll get much better! Your videos in comparison with others are awesome. Jus keep that speech skill, don't become a youtube speaker ;(
You mean all yelling and crazy and over the top? Nah people have compared me to Bob Ross a few times and I think I'm gonna keep that thank you!
im the 1000 subscriber loll
Thank you so much that means a ton to me right now!
