Yes thank you for explaining the red eye icon! lol I'm having trouble with defenses, villagers want a safer home but I can't find any structures that add defense. So far this game is so much fun, really loving it.
Thank you! For the defence, you need to build Barracks and assign Villagers to train there. Then you need to build Patrol Markers where you want your Guards to patrol (ideally covering the Village area). This will provide safety! We'll be working on more guides soon!
Just got this game yesterday. I’m excited to start playing. I have been watching tips and tricks videos before I start playing. I’ve seen that we can make trenches and “earth walls”. I was wondering since we can make trenches, are we able to make moats?? Can I make a trench from a large water source and connect it to bring in water to surround a building or a village??? That would be epic.
For now the terraforming is still very rudimentary, so making a big trench or wall would be extremely tedious. That said, they will improve on that system and I'm sure we'll see better options throughout Early Access. Regarding a moat - for now no, you actually can't terraform close to water (the sea) and there are no bigger lakes or rivers (yet). It's still early days, I'm sure there's more to come.
It definitely is! Just don't expect a typical survival game, but rather a town management game with survival elements. It's kinda challenging, but addictive! And thank you!
Good Video! Maybe you could show on a later video how you can make autmated roads and build foundation roads on an even and higher level with villagers.
Great tips thank you! Excited for this game for sure. My only question is, about the workshop assigning. I assigned a worker to it but wasn’t sure how to keep him employed with tasks. So I just did the crafting myself
Thank you! The Tasks should be in the same Workshop menu, once you have assigned a Villager you can create Tasks there. For example, create 5 Stone Axes, 5 Stone Picks, etc. - the Villager will then create these items and add them to the Workshop inventory. Once, e.g. 1 tool is taken by you or another Villager, the Villager will craft tools again until the assigned number is fulfilled.
@@Pixelcave well explained! I got it now, thank you. Glad I came across your acct. Will sub, and wish you many more. Looking fwd to the Aska content . Few more days till release! 👍🏼👍🏼 lol
Oh, thank you so much for the support. And glad this helped. Yes, we're planning on doing more guides for Early Access, if there are any topics you would find interesting, always happy for suggestions/feedback!
got a beginner question... how can i send NPC to a Patrol ? I placed some Patrol Flags but cant found a option to connect to NPCs 🤷♂️ 1 Hour later... oookay i find it out... Its done at the Barracks ... 👍🏼
No, you can place the flag anywhere on the map and where you think the Villagers will find the respective resources. It's always good to have multiple of those (over time), so they have alternatives where they can look.
Well, in theory you have endless replayability as you can always start a new map/village - and you will do that a few times as you learn the ropes and understand the game. There's also no fixed end goal, but you can set these yourself of course, like surviving a Winter, or surviving the second Winter with Invasions... or simply having all buildings with all upgrades, etc. To give you an idea in terms of "time". 1 in-game year has 4 seasons, each season is 7 days long and 1 in-game day is roughly 24 real life minutes long. So if you would play 1 flawless year (which will never happen at the start), you will have over 10 hours alone. How many years you play - or how long you survive is down to you.
Do the villagers have offspring? Pair up villagers to make super-woodcutters or some such, then sacrifice the weakest adult when you die. 😹 Also, could villagers be assigned to finish the roads? Seems (rightly) quite the task. Also, I hope they redo the hair. It's rough....
I believe the devs have said there are no plans for children (would be cool if we could create a lineage of amazing Perks though!). Regarding roads, you can assign your Villagers to flatten the terrain, but for now you'll have to make the actual roads yourself. I'm sure we'll see a lot more customization options over the course of Early Access - at least I hope so. 😀
When an iron tool breaks, you'll get the iron part in your inventory, then you simply recraft the tool with that part - in other words, you only need the wood/rope etc. to "repair", but never the metal anymore.
NEVER break down thatch into fiber. That shit is worth more then gem encrusted Gold, Also dont let your villagers harvest it as anything over the storage cap they will break down.
Fair point. Since this is based on pre EA content, we might have not had the bigger picture in terms of Thatch and the scarcity (although with it respawning, we didn't have too much issues yet). Since they adjusted Fiber yield per Flux Bush now, hopefully this won't be a big issue anymore. And I suspect most would use Bark anyway.
BRO THE BARK INTO FIBER BLEW MY MIND

Super duper cool!! Thank you, Pixel Cave Team for these awesome tips!! 🥰🤗⚒️🐑💜
You're welcome - now we're curious to see your thriving village once the game releases! 😆
@@Pixelcave I can't wait to share that with you!! 😉👍🏻🤗🥰
This game is somuch fun. Thanks for the video
It definitely is! Just don't expect a typical survival game, but rather a town management game with survival elements. It's kinda challenging, but addictive! And thank you!
Actually Very helpful video! Thanks alot!
Thank you! Any other topics you'd like to see us cover?
Magic!! tyvm for the tips... hadn't worked out many of these
Thank you! Glad to hear you found it helpful. May your Village thrive! 🏹
Good Video! Maybe you could show on a later video how you can make autmated roads and build foundation roads on an even and higher level with villagers.
Thank you, and great suggestion, we keep it in mind!
This is the best tips video thank you!
Thanks so much, glad you found it helpful! 😀

It never hurts to ask, but glad you found out how to do it!
The video is helpful, thank you.
Yet the voice and the intonation could have been different...
Thanks! Regarding the voice - guess you have to get used to it if you ever want to watch more videos from us. 😀
7:00 does the flags radius need to overlap with its respective pit?
No, you can place the flag anywhere on the map and where you think the Villagers will find the respective resources. It's always good to have multiple of those (over time), so they have alternatives where they can look.
@@Pixelcave nice thanks. Im loving the game so far!
hi how many hours of content do you think it have?

well, graphics are too bad . Thank you for showing it .
