Charcoal is made by burning wood with as little oxygen as possible. The organic parts are burnt off, but the carbon needs oxygen to combust, so by restricting the fire's access to oxygen, you basically just burn off everything that isn't carbon, then you can do the carbon-combusting burning later. In medieval times it was usually done by digging a pit, stacking it full of chopped wood, lighting it up, covering it with dirt or moss, and waiting until it cooled off.
Alright, here's a little lesson in charcoal burning from someone who hasn't commented in years: The idea is to burn wood, animal parts, plants, etc. with as little oxygen as possible (by lighting some initial material and then sealing it with dirt in this case) in order to remove all water and other volatile elements. The process is called pyrolysis.
@@WhatDarrenPlays Indeed it has been! Life happened and I kind of lost track of the channel but praise the algorithm for reminding me a couple of weeks back
The paused production causing a paused build taks on the same propery is nicely solved in "Captain of Industry" by having separate pause buttons for both actions. The downside is that the multiple pause options seem to confuse new player regularly, but it is quite often very useful (there it also comes with individual priority settings, too).
Here is what they are harvesting 😅 : March is a month for harvesting the last of the crops that have remained in the ground over winter, such as parsnips, leeks and brussel sprouts. It's also time to start harvesting forced crops such as rhubarb, and early spring crops like early spring cabbages.
Would probably be a good idea to start your settlement in the middle territory, even if no plan for what they will do. That way they can just grow slowly in the background.
The middle territory just naturally is the location where the military and biggest castle should be, as the troops there can quickly respond to any threat across the big map.
From what Ive seen on other channels the issue with people not being supplied with food even though there are enough supplies has to do with too little granary workers. Fix: more Families on Granaries (extended housing plots families assigned for even more workers) and more granaries.
Hi Darren, Nusslohe is pronounced Nuss-lohe. In German Nuss means nut, easy to spot this one as a German (Waldbrand is another German word). The location names catched my curiosity, so I did a little research: Lohe is a toponym (a locational term and a new word I just learned) for either a grove/woodlands or wetlands. Fun fact: there's a place in Dublin that's called Nutgrove.
When you build houses, the first direction you pull the mouse, is the way the house faces. The bold line is the front of the house, pull it across the road first. That way you don't need to keep flipping the direction of the house every single time
What about using the middle county as the military/ industry one? It’s sole purpose is to defend the bread basket and core town/ crush the ambitious baron
The crops they are harvesting in March are those that are planted later in the previous year and allowed to overwinter in the ground. Crops such as cabbages, rhubarbs, leeks, kale, carrots will stay good in the ground during winter. Think of it as them essentially just sitting in the fridge/freezer until they're ready to eat them.
Maybe some didn't enjoy it as much, but i really enjoyed the etymology discussion of your hometown's name and your name. That kinda thing is really fun to think about for me :)
I would suggest to protect The Naul you increase and raise your retinue then leave them mustered in the centre of the new village until they are able to raise a militia of their own to protect from bandit raids
There are quite a number of crops that can be harvested in (typically later) spring. Some places and some crops can be grown over winter even. It's a misconception that all harvesting is done at the end of summer/ start of fall. Basically, it can get rather complicated between different climates, different crop varieties, etc.
The sunrise FPS drop makes sense when you think about it like this: every texture has it's shadows re-rendered in real-time as the light source is actively shifting.
Great to see the new series Darren 💪 One suggestion however, though it may change your game somewhat, but I still think, it may be a good idea for you to at least think about. Maybe use the middle region as your Capital Region with a huge city focused on higher tier production also in the way of using your development points, and then use the outlying regions as minor towns / villages supporting the huge city in the middle with different types of food/goods, kind of like also in real life medieval times. Though that will ofc make you have to change the names for the regions a little, as Swords is ofc always your major Capitol like in Anno and such 😄 Anyway love your new series and hope to see lots of new episodes 😄
Given your town's name after the stories I got curious to look it up. I noticed there's a larger town nearby called Swords. So THAT is where that comes from. :P
You have mentioned that your voice is making people fall asleep. I thought it was only true for me😂😂 Bro i fall asleep like a kiddo when watching your videos
Ahhh yes we love Manor Lords! One I noticed the farm plots I can’t unsee it “i5555!” Postwatch edit: Hey Darren this time I’m meeting you with a small criticism. While off on your tangents(which are interesting) it would be nice if you could somehow keep the video busy. If I go back I think it was a near 4 minute span where you talked about your name and hometown( and that’s perfectly fine) BUT the entire time you simply looked into the woods without moving your camera. For those of us “active” watchers it’s a big pace killer and “can be” immersion breaking. Otherwise awesome video as always.
Tools are useless right now, they don't serve any function beyond selling them for profit. Btw: To make easy money, import clay for 1 and make it into rooftiles and sell them for 8 (or 6?).
12:02 Basically yes. The dirt starves the fire of oxygen, so it burns cooler, thus leaving most of the carbon in the wood behind. Everything else is burned away though.
Can you buy armor for your troops? You’re probably gonna need it when you fight the barons troops. Also I think the towers allow you to get more retinue
There are none. The Baron isn't really an AI. AI wasn't (and will not be) ready for the release. Instead the scenario says the Baron is "off map" and he claims territories and sends in armies that seemingly are just mercenaries.
This wasnt up early, but the next frostpunk is. I’m working to get more manor mords in the chamber for members though this week and release for everyone else every second day.

Im humbled 😢😢 thank you! I died for a good cause. Dont blame the lord for my death!
R.I.P. you were a brave lad.
You were glorious in battle and your name will be remembered for all time. God speed!
You should have returned to the formation, I guess 😁

hey good to see you again! Been a while since the twitch days. And very interesting re: charcoal burning!

food variety... u never did confirm what happened to those bodies
Lionheart is going for towers all around. I would build a cool castle for the lord with extra (possibly civilian) building for style points.

I'm actually aware of that, its just something I do. Bad habit I guess.
That one backwards house messing everything up! :D

You can plant carrots in late summer for a late fall and early winter harvest.

loving the game and this series. keep it going!
Love your videos, especially the historic style city building ones 😊

Bold move, starting your 2nd settlement in winter! They made it through, though
The moment you have built your palisades, you cannot built anything inside of them except for the parts that belong to the manor.
Damn!

My new fav channel
don’t make a wall around your city another youtuber did that and he couldn’t build inside it anymore
Nusslohe : Nuss = Nuts , Lohe = bark 👍👍rough translation
You should try Crusader Kings 3! I think you’d be really good at it 😊
Can you look at barons villages?
There are none. The Baron isn't really an AI. AI wasn't (and will not be) ready for the release. Instead the scenario says the Baron is "off map" and he claims territories and sends in armies that seemingly are just mercenaries.
I learnt yesterday that Ronan Keating was from Swords! So does the market take place on Ronan Keating square?
I think you need to make the houses that have farms bigger for more vegetables
The points cant you just spawn them in like once a vid ?
I miss a stone pathway in this game.
think pot roast in the oven at 600 and yo forget about it that's in short how charcoal is made
For anyone brutally obsessed with hardcore manorial warfare and society I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series
How is he different than this channel? I’m interested
@@cameroncrider6970schwerpunkt's vids are purely historical, no gameplay. You learn a lot from his videos, historically speaking
Is it available now?
The game is available on the 26th of April, via Steam or Xbox Game Pass.
hey do members get early access videos? i subscribed but didnt get this early 😢
This wasnt up early, but the next frostpunk is. I’m working to get more manor mords in the chamber for members though this week and release for everyone else every second day.
