Actually 440 berries, I was mistaken earlier.

The min/maxing that people go for nowadays in games is crazy. Hats off to you for figuring stuff out, but I do hope most of this stuff will be fixed, because for example placing a field over berries to protect them has nothing to do with realism..is a glitch.. and moving wild animals around like that is also. Kind of breaks the immersion of the game for me by doing stuff like this. So, I hope the dev fixes these, but nonetheless, impressive work you've done to experiment and share this info!
Moving wild animals around not being realistic doesn't compute. What would prevent humans from moving the grazing grounds of wild animals by disturbing them? It happens in the real world all the time.
@@untitledpnk I think if we had a nice deer spot and built a corpse pit there, they would move somewhere else, this just is how ML does the mechanics of that 🙂👍
The deer spawns are abstractions, the rest of the woods aren't empty. I very much doubt it was intended for the player to move the spawn around like this (though I've been doing the same since my first game, admittedly). Otherwise, Greg could've just allowed the player to manually place the spawn instead of placing a million overlapping hunting grounds to get it to where you want it. I agree with OP, it's rather immersion breaking (and I should stop doing it).
Can you make a savegame available for this build? I'm finding it impossible to roll Zweiau with the berries where you've got them. Thank you for the amazing guide!
Great videos, learned so much from you. Thank you. Bit late to the party of viewing this and giving it a go, but was just wondering as I'm early in the build and worrying about it. How does one brewery (I've read somewhere they produce around 13 ale/month/brewery plot) keep 80 tier 3 families happy, consuming c. 80 barrels/month? Also, how many morgens of rotated barley production would be needed to keep up? Also, in the build, you have 55 tier 3 plots (110 families) on chicken burgages. You mention above this build produces 400 eggs. Doesn't each family produce enough eggs to sustain itself (i.e. each family produces 1 egg per month, so is self-sufficient on a no-maintenance plot - the beauty of having a chicken plot)?
On my last game i noticed my berries only increasing by 40 per tick. Normal deposit on the beta patch before the one out now without the perk to double it. Is the 80 per tick related to the capacity of the deposit like the perk or a rich deposit? 4 families in 3 huts managed to pull them out at a decent amount. Around 380 pop, 150plots(not all filled). I still traded berries off past 500. Hat a normal hunting ground without perks, usual food mix without honey but lots of chicken added. I had the impression i could easily go past 500 pop with importing some meat to offset the increase in consumption. Eggs barely kept up, but it was not a very efficient laid out town. So this was kindoff expected
@@TacticatGaming according to my test today, berries grows 40 per tick with or without the perk so this makes the perk useless, unless you have a rich deposit then, it goes to 80 per tick.
Interesting. I’ll probably give it another go for testing once patch is official - but this is something I can look at in live stream - 400 a year is good enough for the build
@@burcuo9690 You get 40 every 10 days, from the beginning of March (so 40 on the 10th) for 11 times. The 12th tick only removes the 'growing' label) at the end of June. It's 440 berries in total, 880 on a rich node, and yeah, the perk is pretty useless.
I have only played a minimum amount of time cause I didnt want to play prior to all the first patches, so I have a single question, all those hitching posts are they for oxen or for horses ? Mindblowingly tight video though, I will definitely use these ideas :)
How many farmhouse or family do you use per 1 morgen of farmland? If i have 10 morgen fl then 10 family with 2 farmhouse or 10 family with 10 farmhouse which one is better ?
@@Grimtorn1983 I mean the effectiveness not so important. The game itself is not so hard to run everything with maximum efficiency. But again it's just a joke) Averyone play as one likes most.
Cheers! I've been using a similar layout and it works great (not that specific in terms of placement/corpse pit, but the general logistics/flow) I was under the impression (and my last couple of playthroughs), Berries 1 is 40 per tick, and Berries 2 is 80 tick. You mention berry 1 is 80 per tick? Is that only with the perk? I don't take the perk and my berry 1 was 40 per tick and berry 2 was 80 tick, which matched with what I've read. Maybe the tick rate is based on total berry capacity - so taking the perk helps both?
I should have read this before my post 😉 Will test this tonight on my new game on the latest patch. Didnt test it prior but the 40 rick was my observation aswell on a normal deposit
It's 400 (9x40+2x20) for normal nodes, 800 (9x80+2x40) for rich nodes on the current beta patch. The perk is irrelevant, because capacity only matters if you don't harvest fast enough.
@@TacticatGaming Oh, I had thought that maybe it would have been close to the "Hunters Camp" and the other near the "Foragers Hut". I will take your advice. 👍 Thanks
Hey Tacticat, could you please TEST : hunting station with trapping perk by setting its area on a RANDOM part of forest NOT withing the wild anima deposit zone I saw my hunters setting trap all over forest and was wondering if the trap also passively give meat even when outside wild animal zone. Or should traps be only setup within wild animal zone to proc passive meat?
@@TacticatGaming hmm...but can one limit the work area for these?. So I was curious if I can set very small work areas very near the camp ( area in forest, not within the wild animal zone) and get the passive meat efficiently without hunters wasting time roaming all over
To answer the question: As long as the deer limit is not reached, hunters will go trapping. Since the limit is irrelevant for deer respawn rate, set it as low as possible without risking extinction. Now you can build an infinite number of camps, set the working radius away from the deer and the limit low, and they will go trapping all year. This does however only net around 16.25 meat per year and family/camp (and probably half that in hides with the other perk), so those trapping is only attractive if you got looooads of surplus workers.
Honestly I don’t know. This is one I was drafting in my head. Sometimes a design will just come to me. But every time I make a new design I think I’m out of ideas lol
Is it a problem if the Iron, Stone and Clay deposit are on the left of the whole base instead of down? The workers will have a longer walk but that's all right ?
Not sure if I missed it, but why single burgage chickens? Eggs are consumed 1 per burgage, but produced 1 per family. You should double burgage chickens.
What? It's the other way around! Food is consumed one per family. Maybe you're mistaking it with supply at the market? You may need to supply one unit of each food type per burgage at the market, but only one random unit of food per family per month is actually consumed. And AFAIK extensions like chicken coops produce one unit per burgage per month, regardless of how many families live there.
@@Muenni Everything I have read has said the opposite. Eggs are produced 1 per family. This is the first time I've seen someone say its once per burgage
@@Kurze0 TactiCat plays the 0.7.965 Beta patch which hasn't been released yet. That might be the reason for the difference, although based on my experience with ML I believe it has been always like TactiCat is saying. He likes to extensively test everything himself and confers with other players doing the same, such as StratGaming and MeowBeep. He was able to figure out things that others missed and therefore spread wrong information and he also was wrong with some of his conclusions but has always admitted and corrected it once it was pointed out and he re-tested it. He also listens to what other players point out during his live plays and does test it straight away if possible. I'm following his channel for almost two years now, mainly watching his Farthest Frontier gameplays and he's usually spot on. We should not forget that ML is a work in progress and there have been and will be backdoor patches making things work differently from one day to another during beta patch testing.
@@Kurze0 Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? It's 1 egg per coop every 30 days, so depending on when it was built, harvest times change. There's also no version since release where double plots produced double the amount of eggs, and no version where double plots didn't consume one food per family, not plot (though originally it wasn't random which food type was consumed).
Double burgages do not produce twice as many eggs or hides from extensions, but each family consumes one food per month, not matter how many families live on the same plot. For large veggie gardens a second family can be useful, but you could also simply make the veggie gardens half as large and use single houses. It's just sometimes tricky to get the larger plot shape you want without it turning into a double burgage automatically. TactiCat shows how those double plots get the most gardening area and least housing area, but otherwise densely placed single burgages seem to take less space, not more.
in human history, settlements are Always on a river because people's #1 need is water, for themselves, for cattle, for crops....WATER is THE foundation...but not in this game lol WELLS are even too boring to be taken into serious account.
