The resource storage buildings (not the chests) stacks. They also have a sort of "magical shared inventory".

Agree that this game is borderline a new genre. Hope we see more like it!

hard disagree on the xp sliders - I've done the grind, that doesn't mean I can't enjoy a clean playthrough that's a little easier. There's nothing wrong with getting that 40 hr game feeling instead of the 300 hr game feeling, it's just different

Wooden Vials not only give good production points, they sell for good coin. I switched from stone knives to wooden vials as my main production for coin. In the evening I make a bunch and run off to sell in villages. That got my production and diplomacy maxed out early in the game, now I have a market stall selling them and have more coin than I need now.

Apprentices don't "Up your production". It says right in the in-game tips "Apprentices do not affect a building's production, but does allow them to gain skill points".

It would be really nice if Barnworkers would take rot directly from compost bins to make fertilizer, rather than us having to move it to Resource Storage manually.

I wish they'd add preset options, for ATLEAST the Herbalist Hut. I have to chaNge the settings EVERY SEASON. If they gave us 4 presets then itd be so much simpler too.

Thank you for these videos man! I just started playing and your tips are really helping me develop my settlement and enjoy the game more. Thank you!

Build Storage & Food Storage near every Village. And, some in main Village.

I got a tip for you upgrade houses and villagers will become more happy replace the stick walls with stone walls and put in wood roofs the people get much happier also thanks for the tips your village is much more advanced but trust me double happiness

I tended to grind up my production skill and tech by setting my character to roast meat on the kitchen stove (or in his house), just a massive amount of them, and then doing something else, like feeding the cat or taking out the trash or going to the bathroom or whatever needed done. Cooking a couple hundred meat after a moose hunt takes a good seven or eight minutes of real time for a break. I have 250 hours in this game and learn something new every day about it.

super helpful video

Had no idea how to use those compost bins! Great tip!

The potion is crucial to restat. It's basically a different game at the end.

Thought I was the only one playing nearly vanilla.😀

I tried playing vanilla but I enjoy playing it as a survival game with as few villagers as possible.

Hi there. Kudos for such wonderful tips. Just a question, have you resolved the pixelation of your videos or it is still there? The KZfaq codec always works aginst small channels but still, the pixelation can be brought lower.

Play Thea The Awakening it is this exact same thing but with another twist it's almost like a pen and paper board game using hexagons while utilizing a built-in card game. It's an insane fun. Multiple endings and gods to unlock for village worship.

Building stick fences gives production exp... just fence everything. 😊

Hi, Great village you build there 😊. How do you get it to look natural? I can plan a bit, group related buildings together, leave space for not yet unlocked stuff, but in the end it seldom looks good because you can't anticipate sizes and terrain limitations. Another question. What is a good strategy to manage/breed villagers? Picking the ones you need 'now' is easy. But how do you ensure good continuity? Who do you mix, and when? Regards

Why not use resource storage

I actually like to limit my village that way me or my son can always be a part of it. I also specialize it a little. I dont like a village that can do everything because then I stop interacting with the world

Why can’t I find anything online about production technology! There’s no definitive guides on how to upgrade it. I do like the cheese/quark, but idk how much xp it gives compared to other things. The fastest way I’ve found to upgrade my Npc production skill is linen thread/fabric/and the good bags. It’s great for leveling them up, but I don’t know the best way to actually get the tech

Wait, there's a potion to reassign your skills?!

Is there a reason why you have fenced your village or is it purely esthetics ? AFAIK there's no threats to the villagers right ?

I am finding the late game quite boring. I enjoyed the creation of the village, getting through the grind of collecting stones, chopping trees and all the stuff. But at some point you stop worrying about money and start worrying about storages getting full of more than you will ever need. It is at that point that the game, in my opinion, has nothing to offer. Missions won't give you anything valuable. Selling things for what? More money? There is nothing to spend the money on. Reputation? I don't need more. Exploring the map? You have already explored it and there is nothing new to discover anyways. Bandits can maybe be fun, but combat is not that good anyways, and the rewards are just more money. More buildings? More villagers? I guess you can go crazy big if you want but the game won't give you anything. In fact managing things will become more tedious, since carrying capacity is limited and there are no controls like "sell above 200" or "never use if below 100", or crop rotation for example, so you will still have to be on top of everything. Late game should be way more interesting. Maybe adding some combat opportunities like escorting merchants or fighting for the king. This would open new ways to spend the money: create new objects like weapons, armors, maybe train soldiers, give them horses... Or maybe expanding the map, for those into exploration, creating new settlements, buying land in places that have new resources or new crops that the main settlement can't have. Maybe creating trading routes so you can do something with your production, your donkeys, build caravans... Or for those into survival maybe some special missions from the king: going solo somewhere new so potions like night vision, temperature, poison, etc. can be helpful. Don't know, I feel like the game had a solid start, but then turned into something where I just leave the game running while I alt tab and do something else. There is just nothing to do in the game, just wait until I unlock the tavern or the kid is old enought to take over... It had like 80 pretty good hours, maybe 100h. But then it was empty. Hopefully they will not abandon the game and maybe in a few years it will have some solid late game implemented.
