We're working on guides for individual workstations (or crafting processes). Or do you mean a dedicated guide to the Tech Tree, like a general overview of what to find where and what prerequisites buildings have?
So I had 2 dogs helping my hunters. I dont think they heled at all.... and they starved to death. I also had one protecting my farm that was manned 24 hours a day. That dog also starved to death. It seems they will only be fed if they are in your party or guarding the kennel.
When we made the video we also had quite a few issues with dogs starving, and I'm sure that's not intended. There have already been some updates addressing some of these issues, but probably not the scenario of having dogs guard a station or specific villagers for longer. When dogs are with hunters, they should in theory be able to eat some of the prey automatically, as they usually can help cutting up the hunks into pieces. Annoying for sure, but there have been numerous bug reports and feedback - so hopefully they'll improve that feature soon!
Thanks for the instructional video, very well done, but I have one question: what is this "free time" you speak of? I've only played up to 20 or 28 days (don't remember which) and I have yet to encounter this "free time". Maybe once I get a better grasp of the game I will learn where it spawns at, but as of yet I have not. So far it's always go, Go, GO!! But again, great videos thanks for them.
Thank you! About that "free time"... it definitely take some time to figure out the basics and learn to juggle all the tasks. Once you feel a bit more confident, you can "risk" straying a bit further from your village to look for dens, a mine, thatch, etc. Of course, it 's typical to have just left town and a Blood Moon happens or something else that requires you attention - so it's always a bit touch and go. Playing solo is also a lot more challenging as you literally have to do everything alone, so having at least 1 co-op mate helps. But don't worry about the Dogs, we got ours very late.. we were way to occupied to prepare for winter and all that ourselves.
@@Pixelcave I'm still trying to figure how some people (don't remember where I saw it sadly) saying you should have iron tools/weapons by day 15 along with hunting AND fishing huts. I guess it's possible but you would need to have every second of the game planned out to get that many villagers out and have enough food production to prevent them from starving. But I will say that after watching a couple of your videos I think I have been doing too much of the building myself from the start instead of focusing on collecting jotunn blood and having the Eye constantly working on bringing in villagers. Seems like letting it sit for just five minutes idle is a HUGE mistake.
There's no rule how fast you should or can do what, and it really heavily depends on various factors. Solo or co-op, placement of village and vicinity or resources like the mine and wulfar dens, the coast, etc (you might not even go for a Fishing Hut if you build more inland). Most importantly, the more playthroughs you've done, the more experience you have - that be with which buildings to place in which order, and also where - as this can also affect quite a few things. It's definitely true that you should try to keep your Eye of Odin running when you start up, to get the workforce for all the basics going (just make sure you can keep up with food production). In our last playthrough, while we were already mining at Day 15, we only had the Bloomery going and not the full iron tool/weapon production yet. I'd say clothes are more important for winter than iron - clothes make a huge difference for your survival. In the end, play at a pace that makes sense for you. You'll learn more and more with each playthrough, don't be afraid to restart.
i did everything as stated in the video but ofter some days still no cup. trap sais "waiting for cup to take bait" is itt possible i did something wrong? mybe becaus fenrir is near to the trap? (nevermind in the meanwhile, some days later ingame, the trap worked, just took some days)
Unfortunately no, at least that's not a mechanic in game yet - they might of course rework pets in future. However, dog pets can have different stats once raised, e.g. some have more HP than others, so it's worth looking for that and only take the stronger ones with you on more dangerous trips.
@@Pixelcave also i have had 3 dogs starve to death in my play through now xD ? how do you feed them? there is no option to feed it and i have have one guarding a cook house. it starved i had one guarding my hunter it starved to death and then i had one with me and it was out killing things. but it starved to death xD ? may someone explain
You fill the feeding trough at the Kennel with food, e.g. raw red meat or cooked meat. They will then eat from it whenever they are hungry. You can also assign a villager to the Kennel who will ensure to fill the trough with food. Alternatively, if you go out hunting and cut up the prey, once there are large meat hunks on the ground, the dogs will break them down into pieces and eat them. You can also throw a hunk or pieces of raw red meat close to them on the ground and they should eat those whenever hungry.
Dogs may not be as powerful than a villager that hits the barracks 24/7, at least their reliable in protecting huge bases. Villager requires expensive structure just so they can stay in place. You can make them roam around, but that will often do more harm since enemy attacks are ONLY announced to the player. Wish dogs can also scales based on what they do. Their stats seem random and permanent.
Oh, this was purely an example to show how to assign the Dogs to guard buildings and where to find the option. Same with the Cook, an example for assigning the Dog to a Villager. If you don't use them in a party, Hunters and Gatherers might be good to guard. Generally I'd say it also depends if you have areas in your Village where you typically see attacks, like from Blood Moon (we always had like 2-3 typical areas that got attacked), or the beasts from the Mine, nearby Wulfar Dens, etc. Dogs might be squishy and die (haven't tested the guarding too much yet), but personally, I'd rather lose a dog than a Villager.
You can put food (we used raw red meat) in the feeding trough of the Kennel, or have a villager assigned to the Kennel who takes care of it. Dogs also pick up food from the ground occasionally... so if yours is with you and very hungry, it might eat when you drop food, or hunt and let the dog skin and eat the meat hunks.
@@Pixelcave i lost 2 of my dogs from Hunger because i didnt get or maybe i didnt saw the notification that they are hungry. They Was defending the kennel and forgot to fed them.. The last one was barking out of his life.. 😭.. and i found it quit useless to assign a villager because they get pretty long to get hungry, the villager was idling for about half of his workhours.
This happened to us as well - poor dogs starved to death! Luckily, in one of the last updates, they decreased how fast Dogs get hungry, so hopefully that helps. And yes, they bark when they get real hungry, so that's a way to notice it and make sure they get fed in time. Agreed that the Kennel worker feels a bit useless most of the time, would be great if they could have a secondary job as builder or similar at least.
@@jf5802i guess he would would rather have him do it in an ascending inflection, he would be asking question right? and i second your question about the amount of languages, it always seems to be the english speaking people correcting non english speaking people on how to speak english, yet its the only language they seem to know lol. this brings me to my favorite statement towards those people... Grammar-nazi: the difference between knowing your shit, and knowing you're shit :D and yes i have typo's in here, but i dont car, everyone knows what im talking about.
Very nice to see guides for this game since ea release! Thank you!
Thank you! Working on a few more, if there are any topics you're particularly interested in, let us know - always good to hear suggestions.
@@Pixelcave tech trees please :)

I shall now add some pups to my village! Thanx
Pups make everything better - we wish they'd never grew up!

Good guide. Thank you.
Thanks!
Pups can escape traps if you wait too long. In that case you can set the trap again.
Ah, that's great to know, we weren't aware of that - good tip!
nice
i did everything as stated in the video but ofter some days still no cup. trap sais "waiting for cup to take bait" is itt possible i did something wrong? mybe becaus fenrir is near to the trap? (nevermind in the meanwhile, some days later ingame, the trap worked, just took some days)
Hm, ok, for us it was generally 1 day, but maybe there can be exceptions. Glad you got it to work though!
I've had really good results during spring. Make sure to plant the traps as close to the dens as possible.
can you make them stronger? like their stats? my dog cant even kill 1 wolf on its own ?
Unfortunately no, at least that's not a mechanic in game yet - they might of course rework pets in future. However, dog pets can have different stats once raised, e.g. some have more HP than others, so it's worth looking for that and only take the stronger ones with you on more dangerous trips.

they eat way too much meat, and their squishy as hell. there also annoyingly picky about when they eat. dogs aren't worth it right now. buff dogs.
Instead of assigning to the hunting hut, wouldnt assigning them to the person assist in hunting?
Oh, this was purely an example to show how to assign the Dogs to guard buildings and where to find the option. Same with the Cook, an example for assigning the Dog to a Villager.

Okay, I haven't gotten to the point of taming wolves and wasn't entirely sure
Np!
Do you have a discord?
Not yet, but we're thinking about it.
i need guide to security my vilage pls thank you for all help
Thanks for the suggestion, this is on our to-do list!
How to feed the dog? :O
You can put food (we used raw red meat) in the feeding trough of the Kennel, or have a villager assigned to the Kennel who takes care of it. Dogs also pick up food from the ground occasionally... so if yours is with you and very hungry, it might eat when you drop food, or hunt and let the dog skin and eat the meat hunks.

Why do you end every single sentence with a descending inflection?
Ozie, How many languages do you speak?
@@jf5802i guess he would would rather have him do it in an ascending inflection, he would be asking question right?
and i second your question about the amount of languages, it always seems to be the english speaking people correcting non english speaking people on how to speak english, yet its the only language they seem to know lol.
this brings me to my favorite statement towards those people...
