tips: think like a worker if all of us are working and no one left to build the building are not going to get constructed keep a pop on the hammer in the top left open to build things trading is ur friend and iron ore makes you a lot of money especially if you sell clay and ore or smelt them and sell but you can start with selling planks and hide by doing export establishing trading route make that good always trading faster so you can export without it but it's slower build geometric shapes diamonds squares and such starting with market grannery and store house and building homes around it food is always the most important thing get apples wheat and barley don't upgrade homes until you have barley and malt house u need alcohol for them to be happy

Biggest tip was the tab button lol I had no idea and that's such a game changer. I had been complaining about not having that info lol. Really appreciate it thank you!

I do not move the lumber camp, but just build a new one. The logger will use the storage of the empty camp That way you have storage up to 56 logs. probably, the empty camp is closer to where you are building ,and save time . If your building moves closer to the new logging camp then you can demolish the camp.

Hey @Flesson19 thanks for the tips. I didn't realise the market stall positioning related to the storage buildings instead of the housing plots. Out of curiosity with your point about building the berry hut closer than further away, I was experimenting with the opposite where I place my storage in a central location and my processing and harvesting buildings further away. The reason for this is the storage building workers carry 10 items instead of the 1 item people carry on their own. Yes the storage workers would be more busy but over time they might actually need to make less trips to keep up with the amount of resources that are being generated. Preventing them from doing small trips and collecting only 1 - 5 items and focusing on more significant trips collecting more items 6 -10. This way you can have a good idea also when you need to add more people to the storage building if the productions sources are exceeding 10 items. Closer huts mean berry workers can also benefit from season growth and at the end of the season you can just assign them to do something else. Would love to get your thoughts on this because this is just my own theory :) Thanks again for the video!

5:50 I wish there was an option on the house to also exclude families from working that do Veggie farms, similar to when you make them an artisan shop. I noticed when I have an actual farm and the familiy that has a veggie farm is assigned to my actual farm, they can't 100% focus on seeding my farms as the family also tries to seed their veggie farm during the season. I end up with my farm and house competing for labour time from the family.

If anything, ROAD ACCESS to the resource in question (berries, especially) is essential to time and efficiency. People will always take roads first, so a straight, direct path between the gatherer and the resource is the first thing to build.

Another great video Flesson! I’m so happy we have similar taste in games and I can rely on you to be a reliable source of great data and advice!

as a fan of strat I appreciate you pointing out tips that comes from him. liked and subed

I remember watching your crossroads video for Banished years ago. You helped me master that game.

Another thing to help streamline crafting is to cancel/remove certain items from the storehouse. This allows the artisan to get the materials directly from the previous supply chain channel. You need to be strategic and place certain industry buildings in close proximity. Ex. Shoe economy- hunting camp collects hides, tannery gets hide and makes leather, cobbler gets leather from tanner and then only the cobbler takes to the store house. This limits unneeded trips to storage. This works for any trade that requires multiple steps.

Your families that work the market stalls and the warehouse next to them dont just sit there waiting for the stalls to empty out. If pay attention to what they do, they rotate out. Typically its one at the stall, while the other two idle. Your warehouse workers will go home if there is nothing to do. Market stalls get filled 1 at a time and dont take advantage of the cart from the storehouse. So, in your market, if two goods pop off the queue, the stall worker has an easy trip but the other iten has to come from the idle worker back home. Its a long walk. You can sort of brute force it like tacicat, but its a huge waste of human resources to spam market stalls and empty warehouses just to fill the close by market slot. The solution is to get those people busy with doing things so they are always carrying around the items they need. Then when the market double pops, rather than having an idle warehouse worker tending stall from home, the family closest to the stall with good will fill it. In this way you dont have to build a town that radiates out from the center of a massively unproductive distribution center. You only need 1 stall per 50 houses per trade good (eg. Food, clothes, timber). Which by the way timber is not teleported to houses like food and clothes. Its beneficial to have a stall next to your early game resources. Just one stall between berries and the eggs/carrots and berries should suffice. If you do meat triangulate the. Markets are supply side in this game, its why you get the pop up asking you to open more stalls and not a pop up telling you people are starving or have bunions on their feet. Ignore it. Just make sure you get your markets centered in the middle of your production are. Only put a second one down when the center moves or if you get a nice stock pile chain going. That is all.

Pro tip; you can move your individual market stalls

Ah yes, the Artisan Shops and me not reading the tool tip. "Where are my workers?"

I find that placing my industry around the storehouse and granary, as well as my market, shortens supply times to and from.

THANK YOU, for always being so awesome. You have helped on many games. I know he's gotta to be busy and stressed being a 1 man creator but I REALLY wish he would fix the farms zoning.... I build farms near the fields I want them to work at ALL farmers swarm one field and I sometimes don't get all of them before the Oct tick where they all switch.

Granary workers use carts to carry 10 items. Berry foragers only carry one at a time. If the Forager hut is far away from the berries the gatherer has a long way to carry one single item. It would be quicker if the single item carry was shorter and the storage worker carried 10 per trip in a cart. You could always set up a second storage building next to berries and only allow it to hold berries.

Invest in apple orchards and vegetable patches early. Meat can usually supplement your stores well in winter, and you can always import some to make up the shortfall. I only use farms for barley and flax.

When TAB is pressed, red doesn't necessarily mean it cannot be running, it just means you have no worker assigned to the job.

so #2 isnt fully true, there's another aspect of the market and thats the ability of the individual artisan shops/industry shops to sell directly on the market. the downside of this is that 1 of your worker's family members will be managing the stall at all times but some goods just dont need full families working anyway due to other constraints. in the early years of the game i dont even use the storehouse/granaries that i set up as the logistic benefits dont seem to make up for the family slots youre giving up and most industries seem to do fine with just a family member doing the selling

build the lumbercamp, hitchingposts and sawpit in the center of your town and you have fast and easy construction.

Here is a late game strat if you have two towns and have one do a lot of exporting let's say chain mail you can export until you drop the price of chain mail in the market to like 1 silver you can then buy the chain. Mail back at. Another village for cheap easy way to supplie a village or if you wait for the market to correct it's self you can put the goods back on the market and make a huge 5x profit I know you can use the pack stations but it's extremely slow and I don't like how you need to trade something in return for an item according to market value

Like and a comment for ya. Glad to see u covering a new game. 👍

Very straightforward and informative. Thank you!

dam that tab button though

When baron claim region just claim it as well, later go to diplomacy and make.peace with him

Hey Flesson19, great video as always! Quick question: What option do you pick when looting a Bandit Camp? I can't seem to find any info about it on the internet.

Re: berry collection example, granary workers carts let them transport 10 berries per trip, I think berry workers transport only 1 at a time? So assumed put the berry hut close to berries with one worker, and make sure granary is well staffed, was best approach?

Baron takes land slower if you kill the first bandit canp with your militia within a month of getting spears then if next bandit camp spawn is close i kill it if far away i pay mercenaries. But if you ignore and let the coming army kill the bandit camp it seems baron starts taking the map fast.

I'm not sure this is a tip. Perhaps it's more of a heads up. It's about WELLS. I have seen some of my citizens who were simply carrying/fetching water. It occurs to me that the usual tactic of building only one well might be causing a lot of wasted time traveling to get a resource I didn't know they have a need for. Do the homes require water for vegetable gardens? Do the trades need it for their products? Anyway, it could be of use to those min/max players who are looking for greater efficiency.

I'm already playing quite well but that tab tip is going to shoot me to the moon

I was having so many bugs today with farming. Sometimes my grain would just disappear or the yield/grain count didn’t match up

don't move logging camp just build new one. you don't want log to get wet in the rain and get destroyed.

Just one is an “ox.” “Oxen” is plural.

I saw 100 ale, I assume you're importing barley to make that much? Growing barley and processing to get that much ale is difficult.

Please can someone advise, do you need more than one market per region? Will it cross all houses in your region so long as they are placed close to grannaries and storehouses. Markets are the biggest thing blocking me at the minute, just can't get them to work right

How much difference does it make to add 1 or 2 or no people to the ox hitching post? Same for trading hub. Do you need people there all the time? Edit. 1 dude in the trading post allows for exports!

Top tips

i think with the trading nerf its not really worth it to invest points in that tree. I have way more succes now with the farming tree and 1 in hunter so i get unlimted meat

AI took over all my land in one day 😂 they are going to slow down the AI now because AI IS taking land way too fast

I mean, It absolutely IS a race after the first hour the barron got 3-4 regions.... it's broken as hell. At least that's what I experienced ....

how did u get so much barley?? Did u farm or trade? And the amount of money u got, did u use the trades u showed in the video?

Honestly the game is Good but has so much content not there yet (placeholders) it's probably better to wait a Year till its all implemented

Astronomical apparently means 4 things.

you definitely do not need 3 people on granary

4:50. Have you even played manor lords sir? AI completely dominates the map before I have enough influence to claim one region.

Please talk faster, I had to watch this at 2.00x

This game is too obscure.
