Oh man thank you so much! Glad it helped! Yeah one of the most fun aspects is you can figure out a town just about anywhere on the map. It lends a ton of replay value to the game!

The town management aspects can be pretty confusing at times. I'm so glad it was helpful thanks!

Thank you so much I'm glad it helped!

Oh wow thank you so much! Hah and here in my last Starsand video I was wondering if I have a speech impediment. Thank you I'm always trying to improve.

Thank you so much I'm glad it helped!

Haha yeah it's easy to miss glad it helped!

Thanks for watching glad you liked it!

Thank you so much I'm glad it helped! Yeah some of the farming and animal stuff is a little daunting. Especially since farming is the only job that distance from house to worksite, and worksite to field actually matters.

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much I'm glad it helped!

Wow thank you so much! I'm glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much glad it helped! Yeah the city management aspect of it has a lot going on!

Thank you so much!

Ya know this isn't the first time I've heard this I haven't experienced it myself but I've seen people talking about farmers not getting to work until they manually start a field then the workers carry on.

Hey sorry for the crazy late reply I've seen as much as 3 working a field at once. The thing is only 1 person can do a task per field. So 2 people can't harvest. But you can have a person harvesting, a person behind them fertilizing, and a person behind that hoeing the ground. Yes! You absolutely get way more tech if you do the work yourself than having the townsfolk do it, so that's super useful if you're a few 100 away from a building you want and you want to accelerate the process!

Yeah I pointed out the distinctly barn shaped hole I had where the farm shed is now. It's definitely going to be an adjustment for preexisting saves...

Wow thank you so much! Well they are cumulative. So you could build another lvl 1 and you'll have 3,000 total and the whole storage is all connected. Although I'd wonder if you're over harvesting or over producing on something. If you go in the storage you can sort by weight. It'll list everything not by the heaviest item individually but by what you have the most total weight for. So for most of my play throughs I end up having a TON of firewood (assuming I'm not on 200% townsfolk needs) so even though each individual firewood doesn't weigh a lot having like 1000 in storage is a huge weight. So either adding another storage, finding what's being over produced and reducing it, or if you have retail stalls set one up to sell off something you're producing a ton of to keep the weight down and money coming in.

If it's in the fully grown stage and you change the field they'll harvest first then plant the new one you changed to. If you change a field that's just sown or in the growing stage they'll plow the stuff in and replant the new stuff destroying whatever was there before. So as long as it's fully grown you're fine.

Thanks for watching glad it helped!

@@7CGames the main thing nobody gets and that is explained nowhere is the workers swiping the floor because the fields have no crops assigned. I would love to see a video of the best crops rotations because I only found some outdated guides so far and there are very few of them. And maybe if you could please include information on how to make the farms self sufficient with seeds, because, okay, grains crops are easy to reproduce with the barn, but how to multiply root veggies seeds (beets, carrots, cabbage and onions)?

No every crop will show you what season they plant in and what season they harvest in. Flax is the only one that goes down in spring and immediately back up in summer. You have to look at the seeds or grains that you want to plant to see its seasons. Rotating crops can help you min/max a field but is a real pain if you want workers to do it. You'd have to change the crop type in the management tab and have the right season and make sure nothing is in the growing phase or workers will plow it under before its ready. So while less efficient I've found it way easier to just set fields and just let them run.

I haven't done the math yet on just how many plots per day a farmer can handle. The walk time from house to farm shed as well as farm shed to field all factor into it. So the calculation could be kinda complicated.

I put my tools, the bag, hoe and scythe/sickle in the resource storage. I make about 10 at a time and shove them in there. I also put one of each in the storage box in the farm shed just to be on the safe side. They all seem to be working now thank goodness!

Tools need to be in their respective chest, gain in the barn seed and bags in the farm shed with the tools

This is what irritates me. I always seem to get different answers. Some say it needs to be in the recourse chest others say the tools need to be here and seed and fertilizer there. I never get a straight answer and the game doesn’t even tell you

@@potatosalad6699 the resource chest will be fine

@@FireMN_Gamer can you put the tools for every building in the resource chest?

Well they are a unique worker they're the only ones that have to physically do their job. For a while I had borked workshops people would never enter just stand outside all day but still magically make their stuff. So I could see them having special issues from special programming.

If you put hoes and seeds etc in the farm shed they'll use them but it's a super headache. If you put everything in the resource shed they'll take what they need automatically.

I do resource storage, especially when I get automated. The pig sty will auto deposit manure into resource. Then barn workers will auto pull manure and deposit fertilizer so I just leave it as is.

Yeah the farmers treat orchards like any other farm field. They'll walk out and harvest the trees when they're grown enough and in season.

If you want to min/max and constantly have the land useful then you can micro manage in the field maintenence screen. I prefer to set multiple fields close to the farm shed and then just "set it and forget it" so a field for wheat another for oat another for flax etc. I usually do really large fields and split them in half or 1/3s.

Ahhhh so you leave fields unattended when their crops are not 'in season' .. I get it...@@7CGames

Yeah everyone else starts work the second the clock ticks over. So your work shop is making buckets and vials even as those people are still walking to work. But farming doesn't happen until the person is physically there, changed clothes, walked to the field, and you can SEE them harvest/sew/fertilize.

Yeah the barn is gonna be like workshop or blacksmith etc so their commute time won't matter now.

That could be a storage issue. If your resource storage is full logs won't go in, production stuff won't go in, it'll all sit in the chest of the building it was harvested/constructed in. Seeds also are a resource storage not a food storage item so that has been causing people troubles.

@@7CGames ok thx alot i will have another look.

I haven’t had this problem as yet. Im in year 6 of this playthrough and on Ps5.

HAHAHA I haven't heard that one yet thank you!

That depends on a lot. How many farmers you have assigned to the farm shed, how big the fields are around the farm shed, and how close the farm shed is to the field. If you have the fields touching the farm shed, then 4 farmers can handle some extremely large fields. I've had 4 16x16 fields run with just 4 farmers.

You'd only need another if you were seeing the distance flag. So if you go into the field management tab there will be a red indicator saying that that field is too far from the farm shed and has "reduced efficiency" or something like that. It just means it takes them a really long time to get there. But if you have those far ones you can build a shed and staff it and those people will go to their closest fields first.

@@7CGames thx

@@Wally_Gamer Anytime! Glad to help!

In that save it's quite large lol I think that ones at like 140% build limit?

Yeah there seems to be maybe a week or 2 difference they seem to be pretty on top of it which I really appreciate!

@@7CGames just keeping my fingers crossed for either a bigger map or peacful multiplayer could be fun too

Multi-player is most definitely coming later next year. The armor and crest is coming first then multi-player. Bigger map has been heavily requested but the map is hand made they said RWG didn't work for them so I dunno about any more maps.

Right but pretty much every work site storage is way crazy small. You're really supposed to be using the big resource storage building and the food storage building and letting the townsfolk just auto deposit things they make/harvest and auto remove whatever tools they need.
