    Thanks! Some stuff I didn't know in here which is super helpful. Some other tips:
    1) Resource and Food Storages are shared across all buildings. This means you can put a Resource/Food storage right next to a town for easy selling. Just run over and grab what you want to sell without running back to your town! Additionally throw a resource storage outside of the mine and just dump into that if you are playing with weight limit to significantly reduce running.
    2) People pull tools and resources they need from resource storage automatically for all tasks. I rarely even use the storages found in each building. They also automatically put things here.
    3) The only advantage to sleeping is getting health back and progressing time faster. There is no penalty for not sleeping so chug away in the early years to really set yourself up for success.

      I feel embaressed not thinking of the storage tip! I have so many hours and never thought of this! This is why I love the community, we all have so much knowledge. This is why I decided to make videos cause maybe someone missed what I found eh?

    • @terrencesauve
      @terrencesauve ปีที่แล้ว +9

      The storages sharing thing is pretty much the most important game design issue/exploit that should come up in any video. Its a huge time and travel saver.
      I hope they fix or improve that mechanic, perhaps a oxen cart that carries your resources along a predetermined path, with the chance of having it raided?

      @@terrencesauve meh, I think people can play how they want. I personally don't want to use exploits. Its a sandbox of sorts. Play how you want, if you want to use an exploit go ahead. They give you an option for infinite health I don't think they care about a selling time saver lol - Though I think a raiding mechanic would be really cool. Maybe some basic base defense items.

  • @ralphinator2

    I like longer seasons, to make sure I get all the quests done and still have time for crafting and building. Even when you choose longer seasons, you can skip to the next season whenever you are ready. I also recommend setting the building limit to maximum, because I wasn't done everything I wanted to do with the smaller limit. 200% gives you enough buildings for two or three villages, so you can have people by the lake, and the mines.

    • @joeclifford183
      @joeclifford183 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I’m just new to the game and I thought 3 days didn’t feel like enough time for me. I think I’ll play through as devs intended first time and I reckon I’ll probably make seasons a little longer and increase the build limit once I hit it so I can have a slightly more relaxing play through. I don’t like feeling overly rushed with games but I enjoy a challenge still.

      Well each setting i believe has some effect you how it impact you gameplay, i.e. i set to 4, and i am always trying to plan ahead in each season what to do, so far i play this game 30 hours so this going to change after more hour spent, but what i am saying when i know i have four days it get me mobilized to start with the most important things, like in autumn collect mushrooms so that i will have what to feed with villagers over Winter (that is better than just a roasted meet). Or warm up some building so that performance of some villagers won't drop. If I have much more Days I feel like there wouldn't so tension for those stuff, less dopamine i guess. Besides when you have more days you need to wait more for trees to grow and decorate somehow your village, or animals/people to reproduce. I get that setting 10 days you can always sleep those 6 days, but this this is feels off to me, like hacking. But of course everyone should find it's own path to have fun ;)

      Cheating represents the characters will to lean into cheating just for his own benefit, thus giving an idea of how honest the person is in the longrun of life. Cheaters in games are just like cheatera in real life, you can not trust aomeone with inclination to such behaviour, irelevant of whether he got exposed in real life or a game. Honest players are a lot more truatworthy in real life than cheatera/hackers...

      Btw this game has in build 'customize game' so game devs let us make a choice to use it to make OUR own game progress easier or harder so it is not cheating because who can we hurt? Who tf are you to make decision on what other players who want use in build customize game option? Especially if it is about SINGLE player game ..

      ​@@alexcoutereel279 driving arguments into the spectrum of ad absurdum does not change the point nor give support to cheaters, it just ends in the void. The issue is about the ideology and the way of thinking, not 1:1 manifest of game principles into real life, so the comment although funny, is not appropriate. Behaviourar inclinations do not materialise like direct realisations of ones fantasies. Give it a thought mate.

    If you don't adjust the weight, you can also use the season change teleportation for mining. Go on a mining spree near the end of the season and get overweight where you can't move near the time of 23:00. Once it hits the 24:00, the season reset will take you home with your overweight ore.

      For me, the game isn't very realistic. A couple things are, but it's missing massive numbers of things, like hand pulled carts. Nobody miners carried ore in their pockets, or in horse saddles, so there's really no point simulating realism or difficulty in this case. In my opinion.

When I'm somewhat good at hunting I'll try my first real game. I don't know if I'll change any of the settings yet, I think I'll try to play the game as it's default set at first.

I only get a little bit of time to play. Being a mom that works fulltime my time for fun is small. I grind and huff and puff in real life so I refuse to do it in a video game lol.

    What’s the fun in playing a non realistic survival game when you just make the settings to your convenience you don’t get challenged at all. I would leave the settings default and extend the seasons because like another comment said. Sometimes you don’t have enough time to complete quests and you can just skip to next season anyways

    So I just discovered this, never knew I could change things, just entered the game with default, I think I will change the days per season, I find myself a little too short on time to get the secondary missions done.
    On another note, I just got a donkey after 34 hours of game, and the sense of accomplishment I got, was, is, awesome. Somehow clicking unlimited carry weight and stamina seems like a dynamic that would change the feel of the game and I would recommend for anyone trying things out to think this throught, if you want to just build and create your village, go ahead, but if you want to experience the game more fully... don't. Otherwise what was hard before it's inconsequential now, and it kills the spirit of building up your life. At least I know it would for me.

    • @terrencesauve
      @terrencesauve ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I concur on the "early" part of the carrying capacity. While the essence of this game is being a laid back RPG, I don't know why I would turn the HP or the carrying capacity on. I just took a full day to collect stones and sticks, crafted about 40 stone knives during the night and went for a villager side quest during the first summer season to get the pouch and backpack. As for the HP, if you see wild animals, just stay away till you can take them on. I haven't died yet and its my first run. No shame in running away!

    Good stuff. Just started playing on Series S, Gamepass. Love this game, and just as you have done, I adjusted the settings. I played on default settings originally, but it was agony for two particular reasons- Stamina drain and carry limitations. I did it a tad different, but I got rid of both of those as well. In a game so large where you rely on running from point A to point B constantly gathering materials, stamina drain and over encumbrance are just a constant distraction. I end up spending more time managing inventory than anything else. No fun. Between 50 hour work weeks and being a parent of two young kids, I don't have time for all of that. I want to chill out and play the game the way I like. Big kudos to the devs for allowing us to make the decision to allow us all to play the way we like. Great video and good pointers.
