      7:55 If you go to Manage/Activities and hover over Research you'll see that it also includes Observation, just like Scavenging also includes Salvaging. Check out each skill to see what it prioritizes. Cheers!

      @@TotalXclipse Luckily in the new patch they split observation/research so you can prioritize it individually. That always bugged me too, and this way if I have two people or want to rush an observation, and a research early, such as construction while observing necessary food plants, I can have them have opposite priorities and get them both done.

      totally doomed (hahaha nah jk) your schedule and activities will cause conflicts
      from what i understand the numbering of activites supposedly works from left to right
      Also, melons need refridgeration so probly not the best fruit at the start
      Farming closer to the house means you kids don't need to walk as far

    Best start. Emelin - Likes to cook, decent at farming, bonus is no matter what she cooks its an exquisite meal when eaten, giving a HUGE happiness bonus. Ken - Double material on salvage and scrapping, has a high combat skill for hunting and gains happiness from killing and death. Daniel - Can't do combat, but has a high intellect and his bonus is to get research insights randomly while researching, which can finish up a HUGE chunk of whatever the current research is, boosting your research curve astronomically. Can also do crafting, as well as other tasks. Rakha - 3x bonus speed on constructing buildings and devices, has a high construction score. First thing when landing, set Emelin as the cook, and the only cook, as well as planting and harvesting. Set Ken to hunt and salvage as main priorities. Set Rakha to construction, and Daniel to observe and research. Observe graincob, buttermelon and clothblossom first, and plant immediately. You'll need the cloth for clothes pretty early, and bandages very soon if RNG is bad on salvaged FAKs. Use your camp shelter for storage and wokbenches, and a table, and make a building that starts off housing a set of rooms that are 3x4 for each person, while observing skinbark, and harvesting skinbark, then making a skinbark bed in each of those rooms. You should be able to accomplish all this before winter starts on a slow start. The rooms will act as better insulators for winter, prevent hypothermia, a 3x4 room gives the best sleeping room bonus there is, the bed gives comfortable bed bonus. Since Emelin is your cook all food gives exquisite meal bonus. The graincob allows porridge meals, coupled with the buttermelon, you can make the tasty meal buttermelon pie on the oven, as well as the meat soup and veggie soup, from either hunting or harvesting random dead creatures, and the buttermelon you grow/harvest. Having a variety of food choices gives your people the food variety bonus, and if they eat the buttermelon pie, a tasty meal bonus as well, along with the ate at table bonus. This will significantly boost your happiness levels at the start of each day, helping to prevent breakdowns etc, and all of these can be done extremely early in the game, usually before the end of summer if you focus on managing your people for each task.

    • @tcol

      Cool tips! Once you can, make sure to enlarge the rooms to 5x4 as there's a 18 happiness bonus for sleeping on a big room.

    Jack is chronic sick, so no he is not a good choice.
    Connor, Jack and some others all have chronic problems and the game makes them worse over time.
    Trees grow, you are cutting down fresh trees that hasn't grown yet so they give less amount of wood. Next problem is you cut down Evergreens that max at 20 wood, where the other trees max at 30 wood. The first period you have to click each tree and see if they are fully grown (around 1 in 10 is fully grown at game start) and only cut those, so you get a better effort vs reward ratio.
    When you went into priority you said Ven was first and Jack second, the priority system doesn't work that way, there is no priority between jack and Vinnie, the priority is only on each survivor. Putting delivery as 1 and everything else as 5, would make delivery the first job they try to perform, all the five jobs follow the left to right order of the list. Though some jobs has enforced pickup jobs, so cutting trees result in a transport job on the cut wood.

    • @TotalXclipse
      @TotalXclipse  ปีที่แล้ว

      Good to know about the priority system,
      As for chronic sickness, I don't see that as a huge problem, if you can use them to boost your teams combat effectiveness without active combat, that's super helpful late game, and the same with getting a step up early game, if you're able to get through the first few winters with no issue, then great!
      As for trees - I'm not bothered about there growth when setting up s first house, better to be ready for winter early and farming your own trees than waiting for each tree to fully grow.

    I like the ones with the run speed boosts. Laara, Simon and Talas ( think). I usually pick at least 2 of them. Makes combat so much safer and easier. Don't even worry about their starting combat skill. It goes up quickly enough. That run speed buff is forever! Katina is good as a healer/farmer. I also made her do construction. Her skill was 0 but again it goes up quickly enough.

  • @rauminen4167
    @rauminen4167 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Yeah, I'm not sure about splitting up the working hours, at all, but especially not separating them - they can't interact (that might be a double-edged think but hey).
    Reason being walking to and from tasks is what takes the most amount of time - it might take more time to get back to wind down than the time you gave them to do it, then they go straight back out wasting twice as much of the day.
    It doesn't matter what priorities you've set in a given column, they don't check eachothers' stuff - it only matters left to right. The guy with p5 will do the job instead of a guy with p2 if he has something with p1 and the first guy doesn't have anything else.
    Everybody should be healing at 1 and probably handling too at a low priority - it's flipping switches and refuelling/setting up production, generally quick tasks.

  • @DavidStruveDesigns

    The only off-putting thing about this entire game is how it really doesn't feel or look like an alien planet at all. It looks more like a group of humans are re-discovering Earth again, perhaps after a _long_ period of time away from the homeworld (perhaps it's location was lost over time? Or humans left to let the ecosystem recover without our damaging influence?). There's a tiny amount of more alien-like flora and fauna around, but hardly any to really say "this is not Earth, this is an alien planet". Honestly, it feels like either a) the developers were just being lazy and didn't want to create completely alien flora and fauna and just stuck with the game engine's "basic map builder" features with just the bare minimum effort of creating one or two "alien-like" models and said "yeah that'll do, it's alien enough" or b) there's a hidden story within the game about the planet that just nobody has unlocked yet through their playthroughs?? I'm hoping it's the latter, but I suspect it's the former, sadly.

    • @TotalXclipse
      @TotalXclipse  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think we'll receive lore, and we'll also receive a lot more maps, from different areas or maybe even different planets. When I spoke to the Devs in person they seemed very passionate about what they have planned and more importantly what we have been given is just the key features to work from.

Yeah it would be good to get some kind of in-game explanation of just _why_ the world appears ... so Earth-like ... it's a backstory that could potentially be _really_ interesting and deep for us to dive into at some point in the future! :D

      @@DavidStruveDesigns I think you might be onto something with the 'rediscovered Earth' theory but do bear in mind that since its Early Access the assets could be just decent place-holder-esque items and get changed at a later date - I would also like to see more 'alien' type flora and fauna but there needs to be a decent game to back it up. Pretties and ooo-aahhhs can come later.

    Good as Carter is, he does have a health drawback, dementia (starts mild, gets worst over time), so rescue him when the chance comes. I had him for my final survivor and he had -75% consciousness due to this, meaning if he gets injured he dies.

    I don't like how you can only choose from a pool of set people. Unless I haven't seen it yet there doesn't seem to be a way to randomize the people like in rimworld. And I know this isn't rimworld but it's a copy and paste if I've ever seen one. The portraits and animation of the people remind me of This War of Mine, I hate that game lol and it reminds me too much of it. Still there's potential here hoping it improves a lot during EA

    The game objective is to get people out? It´s only this? this is ridiculous. I have 6 survivors and the rescue pod arrived, I was hoping that it will return with more people or more mission. This is BS. So, to win the game, before the first rescue pod, you take all the survivors but one, unarmed, and fight animals, they all die and the last survivor is rescued. This makes no sense to me..
