The Wandering village is for me one of many favorite series from RCE. The game play and graphics are great and but what's important is Matt's humorous commentary! . Keep up the frequent uploads mate
I tried this game myself, and one of the biggest challanges is just learning all the tells, the foresight, the actual effeciency of farms, and the struggles of decontaminating. Some of the things I can share is the following (these are not ways to play, or corrections, but just the rules the game won't tell you about): It is always worth builidng the latest house. SImply living in the most comfortable house will put productivity above 100%. Best part about buildings getting knockeddestroyed and need a rebuilding is that they don't need new resources to rebuild. So your glass/iron spent on any building is safe. For a farm, only do 9-ish tiles per farmer, meaning that a normal farm will at most have 36 farm tiles, and not the whole radius. Your farmers simply aren't fast enough to fill out the entire area, so it is just wasted soil. At worst, the bad AI will cause the farmers to prioritize planting more crops then harvesting, thus causing productions problems. By limiting the number of soil tiles, the farmer will be less distracted by onplanted tiles. For herb and mushroom farms the rules is around 10-ish per worker, so around 30 tiles per herbalist. 2 fully staffed decontaminators placed in either end of Onbu will keep most infestations at bay. I however built 3, one on either end and one in the middle, and only partially staffed them all at 4 each. All spore forests/clouds are no longer an issue. The trick ot find staff is to have 2-3 worker huts nearly full that you can just shut down when a spore cloud appears and then re-assign the workers back to these once done. Wheat and berries is amazing, and will be your go to stable food production in any environment. Wheat is saddly not gonna do too well in freesing or torrid environments, but you do not have to constantly change these farms whenever you enter a new biome. 1 fully staffed villager docters seems to be able to effectively be able to fully treat 25-ish people in high toxic air. Furthermore, a herb farm can fully stock around 2 fully staffed village doctors. I have a population of 120-ish, and 5 village doctors fully staffed along wih 3 fully staffed herb farms. I can tank jungle biomes now. Kitchens are always importent, and as long as your raw foods are never going up and the processed food is always going up, you are having enough kitchens. Onby anatomy: Onbu has certain areas you can build in. There is a heart region for injector and blood collector locatoed just at around center and a bit towards Onbu's head. There is a spine section running mostly through the middle of his back for the deep stone quarry, there is a gall-bladder/stomach section near the middle but towards the side of his belly for the gall collector and liquid fuel injector, and finally the poo section at his back and the feeding sectionnear the front. THe buildings mentioned can only be placed in those areas, so get ready to move your buildings around. Max out all the poo collecting. The dung collector only works when Onbu defacates, so having more of the collectors means you get more poop out of each defacation and you WILL run out of poop. The only neccessary Onbu-hurting buildings you willmost likely have to construct, whether you want to or not, is the bile collector, the deep quarry mine, and the injector. This will set you up for most late game challenges. Just ensure only one of them are on and never two, and that you take regular breaks between usages. Onbu's trust is hard to manage, but it is possible.
@@jamaluddinkhalifa8371 it was a good parody. But damn I'm getting old if people doesn't recognize Oasis anymore. Soon we'll be talking about those pesky COMPACT DISCS and how the sound was way better because of the laser. And that people should buy CD cause it was the way it was meant to be played. Now I'm imagining 2032 hipsters buying CDs ironically.
I love this game. Started playing because of you. I got a colony of 142 people with 220 days survived and 12 scavenger huts. All my stations are fully manned, from farms to the compost heap. Thank you for introducing this game on TH-cam
it might be better if you were to have a single farmhouse for each individual crop, then when the right climate comes along you won't have to wait for them to plant and grow and harvest since they'll already have been planting (provides the right climate). also, each farmer can only work maybe 6-10 squares so you might save some space there
Finally a new episode! Seems like all the "best" ones get a long break in between. =( This breaks my heart but i will still watch everything you put out.
Hi Matt, a little info, when Onbu goes through a heat wave or a cold snap you trigger a temperature change timer (top right at the screen), so no need to run you just wait. The short wave last a few hours but the normal one last 2 days be careful to this one. I really like your vidéos. (sorry if my english is bad I am from French😅)
I think canonically Onbu is an Onbu called Onbu 4:02 Since Onbu doesn't really go west, it's reasonable to think another Onbu made those tracks Because it says "an Onbu", an Onbu is a species But because the word Onbu is capitalized, it's a name It's used as both it's species and it's name, so idk maybe all Onbu are named Onbu, possibly because it's rare for them to encounter eachother
Been playing this a bunch since launch. The AI is a bit tedious - a villager working AT A KITCHEN will walk across the entire map to get food from a different kitchen. Ugh. Optimizing placement of the buildings is super important to reduce villager walking time.
Lever vs lever: if your dialect pronounces "r" you pronounce it "lever"; if your dialect dismisses the entire consonant you pronounce it "leevugh": I hope that helps.
The fact that 11 out of 11 people I saw playing the demo either died to the poison or got to the time limit while still fighting an uphill battle with the spreading poison made sure I will never even attempt to play this game, but watching it is fun.
You have to invest early in Herbs and Incinerators as soon as you can. After that its generally pretty smooth sailing. Especially if you clear all the trees and bushes so they cant be infected.
@@tonyhinderman I don't really care at this point how to do it, when people whose skill level is orders of magnitudes higher than mine ALL failed to overcome the challenge. This game managed to launch in a state that deterred me more than no other game of its type (colony management) did in my two decades of gaming. If it would have come out more polished, I would have given it a chance. As they say, too little too late...
@@dominic.h.3363 Youre speaking to the choir, I just spent 9 hrs playing to the end game just to get screwed over by my onbu refusing to move out of a cloud of spores and my village falling to shit. The game is decently fun, but its needlessly frustrating and difficult when it doesnt have to be, WAY too many random events and the difficulty needs to be dialed way back. That being said I wouldnt say the game isnt ready for launch or that I didnt get my moneys worth. But I wont be revisiting until they do some major quality of life updates and add more end game stuff
@@tonyhinderman Exactly my point. I played Stellaris for hundreds of hours and won, but this is the game that to me looks more intimidating than Stellaris on hard because of how easy it is to fall victim to forces of nature, which are much more chaotic than if you are pitted against foes that are personified and whose agenda can be clearly outlined. Even Frostpunk manages to give its dangers a semblance of an outline, so while you are struggling to keep your settlement alive, you fight the devil you eventually come to know, it becomes a predictable quantity, and I'm not feeling that with Wandering Village at all. I'm not willing to play fetch with a random number generator. I'd rather jump in a piranha infested pool of water to escape angry natives with an arrow in my back in Green Hell than experience slowly walking toward a poison cloud, because with the former, I'm able to anticipate the magnitude and extent of the danger I'm about to face, with the latter I can't. If the risk can't be quantified with napkin math, it's a bad game to play. I'd much rather play Settlement Survival or any other Banished clone and reserve the extent of my exposure to Wandering Village to youtube.
@@dominic.h.3363 Great points. It really does feel like a waltz with a numbers generator. All of my save files are named something like "This is probably a wash" or "Another failed attempt" bc I know how likely it is I'll get hoed by something random and unavoidable.
Love that you're playing this game! Looking forward to more episodes. A couple games you may enjoy that are similar are Surviving the Aftermath and Surviving Mars. They're right up your alley! ;)
I bought this game because I saw it here first ^^ I absolutely love it. Keep going. Also, my first day playing I messed up trying to figure out why my people weren't planting, so had to look back at your video and realized I had set a priority.
just think i never see Matt play Evil Genius. With base to built, and evil architect to punish, there no reason for him to not play it. Keep to fun going. Always a relaxing time with you ^^
Please play FTL: Faster Than Light one day! Or maybe Bomber Crew. They seem like games you would enjoy. Also thanks for all the videos, your content is great!
Am i the only one who thinks that when RCE set those bushes as priority those villagers were not so much "punching" them but in fact harvesting them? Because if you must have a specific job and resources to deal with the poisoned plants, then that means other villagers who are not decontaminators cannot deal with it. And then after a while a bunch of villagers were very poisoned... I think RCE inadvertedly poisoned the food supply :(
When an infection shows up on onbu you shouldn’t simply select them to be destroyed, you should super high prioritize them so that they can’t spread too fast. I’ve also heard that the decontaminators will auto destroy them, but only within a certain radius, but my not positive on that point.
This game could be augmented: "Onbu is hungry" "Onbu has contorted his neck to eat your mushroom farm" "Onbu has accidentally eaten a villager" "Onbu now has a taste for blood"
Is his name Onbu or is that the type of animal he is? I think you should name your Onbu, if he doesn't have one.
The answer is yes
I think it would be funny if it was named Onbu the Onbu
I vote for paddy the onbu
Yes i agree with paddy the onbu
Ommbu the Onbu

just to let you know, Mr Engineer Matt, the plural of OASIS is OASES, also loving the dynamic between you and Schmicheal, and keep up the crazy work
and the song he spontaneously sing about oasis is good
@@shahalpha1739 he just sang a parody of Wonderwall which is a song by the band oasis

This series is so relaxing and fun to watch I need more episodes already!
When Schmicheal is the editor, you know it’s a gonna be a good video!
The Wandering Village and Timberborn are probably my favorite series. Keep adding more episodes! You're doing a great job 😄
I'm obsessed with this game and your commentary while playing it. You could dedicate the whole channel to this and I would eagerly await episodes lol

Best series on the channel
I love this series. I watch it once sober to enjoy the game, and a second time high to appreciate your jokes again.
One of my favourite games to watch you play!!
Great video but now I’m wondering if the beavers died so he is trying to make us forget about season 4.
Nice Video as always, but the thumbnail does remind me of the Anime: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Can anyone relate or is it just me?
Injecting Onbu with various things includes anti-poison drugs btw...ya MIGHT wanna research that.
love this series!!!
Please keep this series going
T rex in the into was awesome lol !!!
Best series on your channel. And let us know if the wandering village ever comes out on IOS. Would love to get a chance to play it.
Absolutely need a lot more of this !! Don't stop !!
That ramped up quickly lol. I thought this was going to be a laid back game, it is hectic.
Love this series
huh, that infection mechanic kinda makes me want a Nausicaa Valley of the wind game heh.
I can't stop watching your videos they are well made and u are hilarious
PSA: the toggle for the farm doesn't work like that. You toggle off the option you click.
Is there Frostpunk on this channel? I hope there is if this guy calls himself an engineer
Loving this series and timberborn! Keep up the great content!
Am I the only one who wanna see 10x more scavengers? :D raid all of the land and leave Onbu alone!

if this village was managed by architects, everyone would be dead at this point. but damn, they'd leave behind some very aesthetically pleasing ruins!
Thanks alot RCE. Everytime i see this or Timberbournes it makes me smile! Love your channel, keep up the good work!

21:41 little question about music @RCE do you know the Oasis?
Really love this series!
You need to make another series of this!
Eager Beavers Vs Plodding Dino... Beavers win every time for me! But this is ok I suppose as Matt makes it watchable.
You must rename flamethrower guy into Hans
Boosh that next Onbu button to keep this adorable series going!

"Onbu is hungry"
"Onbu has contorted his neck to eat your mushroom farm"
"Onbu has accidentally eaten a villager"
"Onbu now has a taste for blood"

you should name the onbu! hes a good boy and he deserves it!

"3 Knowledge is like, incredible" Well now I feel better about myself.
have you tried out Rimworld? Its a bit of a learning curve but I feel like you would really enjoy it!
this is just like another game from a memory I can't quite put my finger on
I hear it's pronounced "lever." Happy to help :D

You should play '"Pocket Ants" again
