I actually started a new play through a few weeks ago...not realizing there was an update coming. So my question is...can I play single player with the new map? My game save implements the updates, but it's the same map. Do I have to start a new game? My son is 8 now.

Yes, the new map can be single-player or co-op. You choose which right after you select the map

You're no spiffing britt, stop acting like it... be original, your information is still good.

I never notice the speed difference at full speed, but it's very noticeable when overweight. Thanks for the tips!

This is what quality commenting looks like

Thievery was something I considered putting into the video because, as you point out, there is an absurd amount of loot for the taking now. I didn't want to bloat this video though so that may have to be a future vid

Yeah, I realized that after the fact. Not a term I'm familiar with but hetero and chrome is simple enough to understand.

That's fair. With the amount of loot they spawn now and the ability to hunt, the best clothing should be obtainable by the end of day 2

​@@phobiahavocu can just craft torches to conpletely combat winter

I think I know where the Iron Crossbow is, but where's the Simple Large Backpack? 🙂

@@FerrasVansen south east, I can't remember the exact area. Found it on first Spring

@@Blaze_1961 thanks!

Just tested on the new update 2.0.0.1a and the iron spiked cudgel does appear to have been removed. However, the starter chest was just as before for me. I'm not on any pre-build so there shouldn't be a difference in what I'm seeing. Did you talk to the 3 characters for their quest dialogue specifically or was it other generic dialogue? The chest only populates the large amount of loot once you complete the introductory quest which concludes when you speak to Derwan. Otherwise it will have nothing or only a few small things for the new-to-the-game quest if you chose to go that route

@@phobiahavoc Yep, I talked to and completed the quests. The starter loot DID finally show up in my 2nd year, but was not there at all throughout the entire first year. The only quests I had held onto throughout that time were two from the town board; one for making knives, and another for turning in 70 beetroot, and the only other thing that changed was my skill levels and technology levels. Pity about the cudgel though, could have used that from the start.

Interesting. I wonder if it somehow bugged maybe? I have yet to have a start where the loot didn't spawn in that chest on day 1 and I have started the new map probably 40ish times now for testing and verifying everything

@@phobiahavoc Weird! I have no clue, this is my first and only playthrough so far. But I might be starting up a new one in co-op with a friend next weekend so I'll check it again at that point and report back.

I found the cudgel on the ground next to the barrel. That room is also different on layout and had a bow and 4 poisoned arrows and a few potions as well.

I know it's in Q1/Q2 of 2024 but do we have a month by any chance?

I’m console player too once I found out it came out on console I buy it straight away I was watching walkthroughs and game plays when the game first came out and always really wanted to play it myself

Yes, you can adjust the options for season length from the pause menu. Once you're in game. However, season length changes don't take effect until the next season

You can build and decorate huge villages,breed animals,plant crops,get the economy going by recruiting NPCs you assign to each job depending on their stats,and the more they do a job the better they get at it.

@@HuntressGamer Cool, i've looekd into it, seems very chill and relaxing, just the way i like games now :)

Haven't watched him much recently, but I do remember watching some of his older stuff like strapping nukes to a pipe rifle in Fallout 4. Good KZfaqr

Not that I know of but I honestly didn't give it a try. Would be cool if so

@@phobiahavoc Ya would make starting out a little easier for sure. Plus it would make those little areas more useful once looted.

I know you can't do that in the swamp. Those belong to the Swamp King.

It has been 1 leather for me since the new update. Just checked again and still 1 leather for a simple bag

See the pinned comment

@@phobiahavoc Saw it afterwards. I just came across this mistake not for the first time, that is the reason of my reaction.

That's why I get the iron crossbow as quick as possible because it is a 1 shot for deer (headshot) and aiming is far easier

You have individual inventories. Everyone can pick up everything but that item goes into their personal inventory not a shared one. And yes, there is a slider for darker skin in character creation - though, to put it delicately, it certainly does not cover the whole range of human ethnicity in its current state. The darker skin is more akin to a good tan - again, this is just early access. I have no knowledge if they intend to change this or not. My guess is that they are trying to keep the game time-period accurate for that geographic region like the Witcher games but I can't speak for the devs.

@@phobiahavoc Yeah... eastern europe in medieval times was of course not foreign to see black people too. But in the lonely countryside you could live a life without seeing one ever i gues.

@@g0lgrim1 I'm simply providing what my best guess is as to the reasoning.

You have to set food, water, and firewood in the house chests otherwise as your population grows, they’ll be without those things and they’ll leave once unhappy enough. Not sure if that’s what they were doing but yeah. Just to explain why we’d put meat and stuff in seemingly random boxes.

I can neither confirm nor deny... XD

Just tested it and it was exactly as described in the video. Did you talk with all three of the people I said to talk to first? That loot doesn't spawn until you do

No whole different game

I think it's a Gothic 2 mod, but I'm not sure...

See pinned comment

Yep, realized this after recording. What threw me off is the scar they placed on that character model. I assumed they were showing an eye injury. But yeah, hetero and chroma aren't too hard to put together to figure out what the term means.

Well there is good news and bad news to that. The bad news is that the update they made today made the deer startle from further away (best I can tell anyways). The good news is that they made certain animals far easier to take down. The Wisent (for example) now has an aggro animation before it starts charging which makes it pretty easy to drop them with 2 headshots from the iron crossbow. I think they may have lowered their health a little bit as well. Overall, I think it makes sense to have hunting be overpowered being it would genuinely be profitable to bring that much meat back to the village in that setting. Best tip I have for hunting is to just fast-track the crossbow. It is far easier to aim and most animals drop in 1 shot if you hit the head.

Also skips loot 😂😂😂.

Perhaps you didn't watch before commenting, but, with this start, we earned somewhere around 4k-5k (conservative estimate) in the first day (and spent most of it). Even in the standard 3 days per season, that leaves you at about 48k-60k by the start of year 2 if you focus on making money. The amount of money vendors have will become your limiting factor. So yeah, 25k in the first year is pocket change with this start..."dude"

@@phobiahavoc yes I watched, but its so much better if you invest the money on Flax Seeds and Fertilizers by the end of the first year.

I wasn't giving the best thing to do in the first year nor did I ever claim to be doing so. I gave the quickest way to get end-game equipment on day 1 with an easy way to make absurd amounts of money long before you can have any harvest. Feel free to plant all you like, but it's irrefutable that flax is a slower way to make money at the start. But nice job moving them goalposts away from the failed critique of "start year 2 with at least 25k". It was such a confident critique that was abandoned so quickly...

@@phobiahavoc nah its not, good luck wasting your time running around the map hunting stuff and making several trips to sell animal stuff... unless you're using "unlimited carry capacity" which obviously you are.

🤣 you really didn't watch the video, did you? I mean, literally I show me being overweighed buying the bags to increase carry weight. And flax takes a season to grow, so you won't make a single coin from growing it season 1. My dude, I know it's tough to get squashed in a debate online and the trendy thing is to just pretend you won anyways, but at some point you gotta learn to accept that you took an L. You made this needlessly antagonistic and were proven wrong at literally every point. Enjoy the game however you like - I don't care in the slightest. But don't come out swinging for no reason in a conversation. This could have been a fun exchange of ideas where we both learn and carry on. Instead, you got your butt kicked. Be a better person, dude

Get dabbed on heretic. Get a real gaming machine.

@Cdiwins1 I have one but being partially sighted console gaming is a lot easier

Don't worry, as a PC user for this game...the update broke it.

@@Esteem_Boat_Willy I'm not worried it's just a bit cuntish to make console players wait several months

@@OrijinaruBTC Probably because they're still trying to fix the things they broke. It's a blessing. Similar to Cyberpunk

I don't find it to be rude. But the way I like to play games is to see what I can do to optimize - how I express myself as you would say. But I do disagree that you can play the game wrong just by trying to see what the game lets you do. We enjoy it differently and that's perfectly OK. I appreciate the feedback

I feel like that kinda is self expression in a way. Who truly wants to be a lonely little bum villager? Inside most people do want to be that OP player and have the best things they can get. Just my perspective 🤙

What i read from your comment is "play the game the way I do or else you are doing it wrong".

The point is to have fun.

There is no "wrong way" to play a sandbox game.

I disagree. Overpowered is used to communicate that a thing is vastly more powerful than the average in a given context. You may not like this style or subject of content which is fine. Your assertion, however, is simply incorrect.

What are you talking about? Overpowered things exist EVERYWHERE in life. If you had to fight Brock Lesner...he's likely more overpowered than you. You wanna race a Mustang with your Ford Focus? The Stang is overpowered in that situation. You want to play an online shooter, but my PC is 10 times stronger and faster than yours...that's OVERPOWERED. These things are endless. You wanna know what's really overpowered? Everyone else's common sense compared to yours.
