I bought the game two days ago, so most of it was new to me..😅 I had no idea you could increase your carry capacity at all. I was wondering if there's a way to align your fields, to already existing infrastructure, or if it's better to place one field first and align everything else to it..? 🤔
@@jukojo_hantā The easiest way to establish straight lines and distance is by using fields but they align to cardinal directions and can't be rotated. So yes, use fields to establish straight lines and measure distances between structures if you want to build that way.
agree with everything youve said, when i first started playing i built in almost the same location as you & when I started to expand my village i did a Mass clearing of trees (before realizing they would grow back) so my Village just looks bare & have started to strategically try & Plant Fruit trees around my Town.
The Bob Ross of Sim Gaming lol Seriously though, I love how you walk through a process like this. You have a very calm, relaxed, yet confident way of speaking and teaching. Your village progress shots were really helpful in painting a picture of how to plan for the future. I'm a very indecisive perfectionist at times, so I tend to restart a lot in colony sim games like this due to new information making me regret layout or location. Funny thing is that the lake, right in that spot was the first place I built, right along the edge of the lake lol - should've gone with my gut and stuck out my first run lol
This is intriguing. As someone who dislikes hunting and am terrible at it, I am very happy I settles close to Gostovia where there are no dangerous animals. 😅 Travelling along the roads to Lesnica and Denica almost killed me several times already.
Sir, you got a voice for this sort of stuff. Very well explained with a professional touch. Thank you for the time you took to make this video. It was extremely helpful.
Thanks for the video! I had no idea you could get backpacks and bows straight away like this! And here's me on my first playthrough building crafting stations and trying to get levelled up enough to craft them when I don't even have villagers yet haha Also I love your manner of speaking, the chilled calmness matches this game perfectly!
I really enjoyed this video, thank you. The only thing new for me was going to buy arrows, I usually have just used what I find in loot until I have the coins since Lesnica and Denica are quite dangerous for early game exploration. I usually go up to Baranica to get my backpack and pouch as it is much safer early game. As for other things for you to cover, I would like to see how you plan your settlement layout, your village/town is beautiful and this is something that I always struggle with in the game, knowing where to start placing the builds so that it makes more sense and flows nicely and maybe it needs to be across several video parts so that you can give tips on decorating as well. Thank you again for the tips and time. It's nice to see people still making video's for this awesome game since many of the tips and tricks video's are very outdated these days.
Thank you for the comments. You are absolutely correct that the road to the Baranica is potentially safer, free of wolves at least. I like Denica as it puts you close to Lesnica and my preferred build location. I'd love to make a city planning video. Hopefully soon. Thanks again!
I stumbled on this Dope game by sheer chance. I'm hooked. Thabks for all the tips. Especially the backpack, pouch, bow and arrow. I'm definitely going to plant my flag by that lake too! You got my Sub, SGT!!
I'm working on the audio. I don't have the best mic so I'm trying to figure out some settings and options. Thank you for the support, I really appreciate it!
I kept the default settings for the first few years. Then I increased the days per season to 4 but I feel it is too much in the end game and should dial it back to 3. I only increased the building limit as a felt the need to. If you increase the days too much you'll not experience the dynasty element of the game for a long time. I am currently sitting at the max building limit but only 119/140 buildings. 20ish of which are still in progress. I did a tour video as well. Thank you for your questions I really appreciate the interaction.
I did not know the trees grow back if you leave the stump! I always remove the stump for the extra log! I have been playing so wrong all this time! 😅 I would have so many more logs and have to travel so much less 🤦♂️ 😂
As a new player, who absolutely loves this game even though I've only had it for 2 days-- Thank you! This was so helpful. I did some major "cheating" with my first run through, because I'm a sucker for story-- and now that I've fallen inlove with the building mechanics, I'm ready to play for real 😂😂 I was super worried as I hadn't quite figured out how the heck to make any money yet, but your tips helped a lot! And that location is EVERYTHING I wanted, thanks for that too!
Man, I really liked this game, but I had a memory leak issue or something where my frame rate slowed to a crawl. Don't think frames per second, think seconds per frame. A lot of seconds per frame. Anybody know if that issue has been fixed?
@@sgtsylver PC. Not sure what version. Probably over a year ago. It played fine for a while and then several game days in it started stuttering and finally came to a near stand still. Restarting didn't fix it. The game save was just unplayable. I was bummed because I was really enjoying the game. Didn't want to play it all through to get back where I was though, especially if it could happen again.
Ive recently started playing this but not a clue wtf im doing. I got chased by a bore then was trapped in my home for the winter. Finally got up to speed with all the tips and trick videos(yours included) gonna start a new game tonight...take it slower...im a afraid to leave my shack as my villager really friggin hate me.
Do you remember restarting your game because you didn’t realize winter was coming and you didn’t have any way to go outside without freezing to death? Sgtsylver remembers.
This was a nice video, I got to see more of your village! You’re right about having to be nice to your heirs too. I also make sure I say hello to my wife every morning too. But all my other villagers are just so upset with me :/
@@sgtsylver do you have any favorite sweet spots on the map outside of where you like to build? I came across this really unique tree on my way back home from Hornica, think I wanna build a vacation home there or something
@@victoriasmith225 Oooh, I think you mean the "living" tree. At least, I think I've heard of it referred to as that. The tree near the middle mine/cave that has the stream coming out from below it?
@@sgtsylver Yes! That’s the one! Do you have any other spots like that that are pretty and otherwise hidden gems? I mean the whole game is very picturesque
There are a couple spots that got my attention to the south and the south east, but they're so far away from everything else that it made traveling cumbersome.
I love your voice and the video. It makes it so entertaining to watch. That spot is also where I'm starting my settlement. I had to restart because I forgot to pay taxes and also to plant my seeds😂 I was to busy with building and getting coins.
1. I saw you sleeping in the game . You don't sleep in this game. Its a waste of time. You got torch and healing potions. Just spend the night for unfinished fields or better production (food). Trust me, your wife is a developer's code only. She doesn't miss you in bed at night :) I know its romantic...but .. 2. Berries get you all the fertilizer you need. It takes minutes to pick for a bin 3. Farming makes most money.Autumn to Spring make Rye of total of 300sq.That would make you pure profit of 8000 coins.And that's just in between your flax(after) and cabbage later. Assign a worker or two for the grubbing, fertilizing and sowing and finish the rest yourself only. Don't bother with production, if you are after money.Waste of time. 4. End seasons in a cave, full to brim with ore. It will teleport you home 5. Another way to make money is poison. It takes just 5 nightshades , vial and water. Really easy to pick 6. Make clothes for the production exp only. Honestly prices are imbalanced on purpose for exp gaining reasons. 7. Make stone houses from the very beginning. More building exp. 8. Dont be in a hurry to get married. Flirt a bit first . This will raise your diplomacy, which is super hard to gain
Nothing new for me, guarantee failed. ;) Then again I have more than 2k hours play time in the game so I don't think you find anything that I don't know. Aside from that, very nice video, very informative and absolutely a must for less experienced MD players.
I enjoyed this video, i really enjoyed seeing that little progression in the village growth. i'd love to see a video on how you plan your village layout
Do you have a beginners video of getting through your first season and preparing for winter? I don't know what I should be building first, what does and doesn't happen during winter
I did, but it changed with the update so I'm working on a new one. The biggest thing you need to focus on is farming. I don't even build a house before I have a barn, you can sleep next to a fire if need be. I make 3 5x10 fields (as a 5x10 used to take one wooden hoe, now it takes more) as the 5x10 makes seed calculations easy. I try to do as much flax, oats and cabbage as I can first spring and fill at least 4 compost bins with unripe berries. At the change of season to Summer that will give you the rot needed to make 240 (150 for the 3 fields in Summer) fertilizer in the barn, which is why I focus on the barn first. The cabbage I use for creating rot in a compost bin later if need be, but also potage in the kitchen. Be sure to fill those compost bins with berries in the Summer, and more bins if you can and have more fields. Just keep expanding your fields as you can and you'll have the donkey shelter unlocked by winter. Oats and Rye are your cash makers and will get you into animal feed for the animals you'll get year 2, as well as the donkey. Next priorities are resource storage, house(s), wood shed, smithy, extraction hut (in that order) maybe a well if you don't have easy access to water. Get NPCs in those ASAP. Extraction hut focusing stone, wood shed: logs(50%), firewood(20%), sticks (10%, planks(15%) and smithy focusing stone tools. Do the hunting and cooking as you can to get your skill and exp up to unlock the smithy quick. Then build the hunters lodge, food storage and kitchen as you can after. You'll need to put food, water and firewood directly in the chest of each NPC's home until you get a resource building and food storage if you haven't already. Then it's just building the workshop, sewing hut and expanding with more homes, more npcs and more fields and livestock from there. I recommend not trying to rush to complete main story quests until year 2 or 3. Get yourself established with the basics and the game plays better, less running and pressure for time. If you come across warm clothes don't sell them. You'll definitely need a fur hood and fur boots for winter, or you'll be spending most of it indoors or with a torch out.
Thank you man, fun videos, I tried to settle near the lake, but a bit north east across the river, sadly i built my first house very close to wisent and they had killed me sometimes :O
Is there a reason to buy the recurve bow over the long bow? The longbow is cheaper and says it does 55 damage where as the recurve says it does 45, new to this game so just curious!
1) Sometimes you can take a, or possibly two foods, cook them, and raise their "decay level". 2) Hens give more eggs than geese, the opposite is true for feathers. (in my experience) 2a) The workers you have assigned to the animals feed them (Oat + Rye + Straw = animal feed (Generated in barn), and generate resources, but do not pick up: manure, nest items (see 2), or milk / shorn (trim) the animals themselves. That's extra money and resources for very little time. 3) To max mood with villagers, decorate both the inside AND outside of their house. Inside includes: floors, windows, walls and ceilings. Outside includes walls and the two end areas (You can put a relief up there). The cost of the item is irrelevant - just put SOMETHING there. 3a) Mood affects productivity. Significantly. The difference between a 90% mood resource generation and 100% mood is about 30%. 3b) You cannot raise mood with higher priority food. (I've tried with Cherry pies) 4) I like to cross train my villagers ("10's across the board" I call it). While they take a small mood hit, especially if moved to an area they don't like, as they level up, then spend the evenings in their house, their mood will improve. 5) Do not neglect the apprentice system. 6) When starting a new village, be prepared for two events: i) First winter, ii) First wave of pregnancies, specifically female worker loss due to two YEAR post birth. (Women will work until the day they give birth, then you lose them. 7) You can prioritize which food, drink and H2O your villagers consume.
There are two modes, single player and co-op. Single player has the Valley map and co-op has Oxbow. Co-op is the newer and can be played "solo". You're likely on Oxbow via co-op mode.
So you’re telling me I’ve been digging up stumps for an extra log and having to walk farther and farther away for trees when they would’ve come back 🤦🏼♂️
Helpful! Wish I had seen this video before coming back to the game for the first time in 2 years. Now I'm going to have to start over again. I usually build at a bend in the river just west of Gostovia, but the lake does look like a much better place, and is in closer proximity to towns that have better trade items, anyway. The only thing I didn't notice, and you need so very much of it, are there reeds available at the lake, like there are along the rivers?
the odd thing is that pig farms produce more manure than a cows shed and many other things made me dislike this game and regret buying it i wish i have waited for the new edision of japan one even if is the same game the cultural deference intrigues me more...that been said this game lost me after 150 hours or so the amound of resorces i had to guther to establish the first gutherers hut and log hut made me hate it not to speak about the houses and the hunger etc..the balance seems off to me ....or make it more realistic or make it more of a building game city skyline type and dont force the player in a grinding process of viewing million times the same animation of bending over or hail the hitler to guther some beries etc... your video is ok but the game is not
Yep, it definitely has a grind element to it in the beginning. Finding the balance and utilizing your villagers to do most of the grind is key. I'd be curious if you watched my playthrough series, currently in progress at episode 7, if you'd find benefit there or insight into some of the mechanics. Thank you for watching! I really appreciate your participation and support.
@@sgtsylver my dear sir i have watched some of your videos and yes they are very helpfull and very detailed ,you do a beautyfull job and your calmness in your voice is the key as you make the one that watches pay attention i dont have any thema with your videos i wish only you could find another game to go through as this one for me is allready ended it leads to nothing as the mechanics and whatelse is killing the fun of the game sadly. I thank you for your concern and respond in my preaty nasty comment i am sorry for any inconvinience i may have made ... still i found your work on the videos very nice and if you can find a way to make maybe a natural inviroment documentarys you will hit the jack pot as your voice and the way you express your self is very magnetic and the people will stuck with you PS i just subscribed to your chanel from your kindness in respond
Everyone loves your voice and I have to say, while listening I had a mental image of you reading Bill Bryson’s lovely books for a sleep story channel! Your tip on using compost bins is pure gold, Ive just discovered these and they save so much money! In spring I gather all the green berries I can and by summer have around 2800 rot. I only have to buy manure for the first spring sowing, after that I have all I need.
This is the first time i see your video, i stumbled onto this while being curious about this game. i have to say. that you have a very pleasant voice and vibe. it almost sounds like your reading a story to us from a book. you dont hear this alot in game videos on youtube. you got your self a new subscriber and i wanna watch more of your videos! Thank you for making them. 🙏
There is an actual story quest that does end, but the game can continue for as long as you like. The main quest ended for me a long time ago. I just enjoy building and stuff now at this point.
Nice video, very informative, but I have one question, how did you build everything so lined up? When I try to build fences and Streets, it's always crooked and not in a straight line like your's
You can use crop fields or orchards to establish straight lines, they don't need to be completed (hoed) in order to act as a boundary. Then just remove the field when finished. Additionally, you can align your direction by using the compass and simply side stepping (strafing) to align your buildings, roads, fences, etc. Although I find it easier to use the forward/backward keys to place fences and roads.
When you make tools for cash it's a good idea to spot two of the same item within quick mouse-flick pickup distance, and triple-tap the pickup button. You will get three items at a time that way.
They way you gear up is a waste of time and slow. Turn seasons down to 1 year. Find a mine. Mine it for about 3 years (cause mines reset every season). Sell the ore and you will have 5 to 8k depending on who you sell to. Everybody does this. LOL building and selling stone knives..? Waste of time.
I recommend to look for the shard where when you begin the game find the tents on the river by the waterfall close to Gustovia. If that is the case you can make a run around the map on the first day and go to the common spots to look for loot. You can have a full endgame Equipment on the first day with 2000 coins in cash.
Well thank you. I am rather new so it may take time. As long as people keep liking and commenting I figure the subscriptions will follow as well. Thank you for participating.
I just got this game from game pass and I’ve been playing it for a couple of hours and this has helped me so much! I built in a really inconvenient place by the river 😅 looks like I’ll be packing up!
That is unfortunate. Some others have taken my concepts, such as naming fields for crop rotation and claimed as their own. Kinda snuffs out my fire a bit. Thanks for watching though.
That is a nice location for a town. I used to build there too. More recently I actually moved west of there, across the river on that outcropping of land. It's way flatter over there and closer to the mine and clay pits so you don't need to do a separate living area for the miners and you're able to fit in more homes and farmland but it is slightly farther from the majority of towns. The fishing hut fits in the river too. Oh and for farming you want all your fields to always be small. Only one NPC can only perform each action on a field at a time so each field can have one fertilizing, one planting, etc. If you have a 100 tile field then it's going to take forever and you may have workers with nothing to do. I build 5x4 fields so all are 20 tiles and I just make many. In my latest game with a small settlement I have 13 fields because I do two fields of flax, oat, rye, and cabbage.
That area near the fork is nice and flat. I don't worry about being close to the mine, npcs will gather the same rate even if they spend all day walking to the mine. Just how the game works currently on PC. For farming, I often have 3 people working the same field (on PC), one will start spreading fertilizer, then one will come behind and cultivate, and one will come behind and seed. All working the same field at the same time, as long as it is big enough. So I don't think there is a too big currently. Thank you so much!
Great tips. Also, I accidentally chose the “right location” in my current play-trough and I can confirm it’s great. For fertilizer I currently use cabbages. You need 2.5 cabbages turned into fertilizer per farm square, will work on pigs soon.
Great minds think alike! Cabbages are great for rot/fertilizer and is what I use it mostly for. I end up having far more manure than I can use or sell so I opt to just use cabbage mostly now and bypass pigs. Thanks for the support and participation!
1st time playing. Was collecting berries in spring and summer. I built (2) compost bins. 1200 berries produce 1200 rot which I turn into 120 fertilizer. I get 240 between the 2 seasons. However, I now have 3 pigs - so I don't know if I'll need to compost berries.
@@sgtsylver Call of the Wild is the best one, obviously. But, Way of The Hunter was really good too. I think it’s one of the voices on COTW that you remind me of. Question about what you said at the end about the heirs. How do you not neglect them? I have an heir, but he’s only a baby. There doesn’t seem to be much interaction available. Is this something that comes into play when they age up?
@@flyfishizationjones4940 As you progress your wife and son will both occasionally get the yellow exclamation indicating a quest opportunity. Either will provide opportunities to develop your heir. These will keep your heir's affection high, or increase it depending. Neglecting those, like I did thinking they were just some "fetch" quest resulted in the low affection of my heir. I have COTW so that is interesting you think I sound like someone in that. I'm going to have to fire it back up and give it a listen.
@@sgtsylver haha. I wish I could be more specific. I honestly don’t remember who it was. I would love to pick that game back up, but it completely consumes me. I seem to have a lot of games like that.
@@sgtsylver sadly no. All are known things already, but it doesnt mater, I liked the video, especially with the calming voice. But the title "Things you don't know - GUARANTEED" is pure clickbait. Just re-think that with your next one.
What do you think? Was any of this new information? Is there something you'd like me to cover in a video?

@@sgtsylver Yes! That’s the one! Do you have any other spots like that that are pretty and otherwise hidden gems? I mean the whole game is very picturesque
There are a couple spots that got my attention to the south and the south east, but they're so far away from everything else that it made traveling cumbersome.
Nice vid! You also sound like simple history
Thanks! I appreciate you!
@@sgtsylver I can't wait for co op tho!
Me neither!
I love your voice and the video. It makes it so entertaining to watch. That spot is also where I'm starting my settlement. I had to restart because I forgot to pay taxes and also to plant my seeds😂 I was to busy with building and getting coins.
Thank you, that's so kind. It is so easy to get lost in elements of the game. Keep me posted on how it goes!
1. I saw you sleeping in the game . You don't sleep in this game. Its a waste of time. You got torch and healing potions. Just spend the night for unfinished fields or better production (food). Trust me, your wife is a developer's code only. She doesn't miss you in bed at night :) I know its romantic...but ..
2. Berries get you all the fertilizer you need. It takes minutes to pick for a bin
3. Farming makes most money.Autumn to Spring make Rye of total of 300sq.That would make you pure profit of 8000 coins.And that's just in between your flax(after) and cabbage later. Assign a worker or two for the grubbing, fertilizing and sowing and finish the rest yourself only.
Don't bother with production, if you are after money.Waste of time.
4. End seasons in a cave, full to brim with ore. It will teleport you home
5. Another way to make money is poison. It takes just 5 nightshades , vial and water. Really easy to pick
6. Make clothes for the production exp only. Honestly prices are imbalanced on purpose for exp gaining reasons.
7. Make stone houses from the very beginning. More building exp.
8. Dont be in a hurry to get married. Flirt a bit first . This will raise your diplomacy, which is super hard to gain
Thanks for the info. And, thanks for watching. I really appreciate it.
Nothing new for me, guarantee failed. ;)
Then again I have more than 2k hours play time in the game so I don't think you find anything that I don't know.
Aside from that, very nice video, very informative and absolutely a must for less experienced MD players.
I thought for sure the naming of fields for crop rotation would be a zinger for everyone. Thanks for the support!
I enjoyed this video, i really enjoyed seeing that little progression in the village growth. i'd love to see a video on how you plan your village layout
Thank you! It is something I'll work toward soon.
Do you have a beginners video of getting through your first season and preparing for winter? I don't know what I should be building first, what does and doesn't happen during winter
I did, but it changed with the update so I'm working on a new one. The biggest thing you need to focus on is farming. I don't even build a house before I have a barn, you can sleep next to a fire if need be. I make 3 5x10 fields (as a 5x10 used to take one wooden hoe, now it takes more) as the 5x10 makes seed calculations easy. I try to do as much flax, oats and cabbage as I can first spring and fill at least 4 compost bins with unripe berries. At the change of season to Summer that will give you the rot needed to make 240 (150 for the 3 fields in Summer) fertilizer in the barn, which is why I focus on the barn first. The cabbage I use for creating rot in a compost bin later if need be, but also potage in the kitchen. Be sure to fill those compost bins with berries in the Summer, and more bins if you can and have more fields. Just keep expanding your fields as you can and you'll have the donkey shelter unlocked by winter. Oats and Rye are your cash makers and will get you into animal feed for the animals you'll get year 2, as well as the donkey. Next priorities are resource storage, house(s), wood shed, smithy, extraction hut (in that order) maybe a well if you don't have easy access to water. Get NPCs in those ASAP. Extraction hut focusing stone, wood shed: logs(50%), firewood(20%), sticks (10%, planks(15%) and smithy focusing stone tools. Do the hunting and cooking as you can to get your skill and exp up to unlock the smithy quick. Then build the hunters lodge, food storage and kitchen as you can after. You'll need to put food, water and firewood directly in the chest of each NPC's home until you get a resource building and food storage if you haven't already. Then it's just building the workshop, sewing hut and expanding with more homes, more npcs and more fields and livestock from there. I recommend not trying to rush to complete main story quests until year 2 or 3. Get yourself established with the basics and the game plays better, less running and pressure for time. If you come across warm clothes don't sell them. You'll definitely need a fur hood and fur boots for winter, or you'll be spending most of it indoors or with a torch out.
Can we all hype the developers to all in into this game, cause playerbase is HC! ( Mod support, more buildings ...)
Nice!
I need you to read me a story while i sleep.. very sothing voice. 😌
Post a story in discord and let's see what happens!
Thank you man, fun videos, I tried to settle near the lake, but a bit north east across the river, sadly i built my first house very close to wisent and they had killed me sometimes :O
Ouch!
Your voice is amazing
Thank you!
Could be presenting a show about tulip gardening, but chose Medieval Dynasty.
LoL!!! Thank you!
You should consider doing asmr readings with your voice. Easy videos to produce and trendy right now.
Maybe one day! Thank you for the support!
Is there a reason to buy the recurve bow over the long bow? The longbow is cheaper and says it does 55 damage where as the recurve says it does 45, new to this game so just curious!
The recurve shoots faster. so better in my opinion against moving targets and Wisent. Either will drop a deer in one shot usually.
That was really interesting, thanks. I'm new to the game and those are some very good pointers.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for the support!
I certainly love the naming convention!
It bothers me a bit, that you can't set crop rotations in the game.
Thanks for the vid. Cheers from Germany.
Thanks for watching and supporting!
Sounds like bob Ross mixed with David Attenborough, I love it
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it!
Starting doesn't work anymore as they have nerfed the heck out of the knife price.
Yep, the update made some big economic changes.
You got the voice to narrate Alaska last frontier 🤣
Unfortunately some of these are no longer profitable
sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never finger my anus.
I don't think you want sticks and stones in there either but....
Wish I had found this video before I started my village. Lol
You can always move but anyplace will do. Thanks for watching and the support!
What if I removed the stumps. Will the tree grow back?
No, trees don't regrow if you remove the stumps. Thanks for watching!
the knife trick patched/nerfed price dropped drastically
Yep. Working on new information now.
1) Sometimes you can take a, or possibly two foods, cook them, and raise their "decay level".
2) Hens give more eggs than geese, the opposite is true for feathers. (in my experience) 2a) The workers you have assigned to the animals feed them (Oat + Rye + Straw = animal feed (Generated in barn), and generate resources, but do not pick up: manure, nest items (see 2), or milk / shorn (trim) the animals themselves. That's extra money and resources for very little time.
3) To max mood with villagers, decorate both the inside AND outside of their house. Inside includes: floors, windows, walls and ceilings. Outside includes walls and the two end areas (You can put a relief up there). The cost of the item is irrelevant - just put SOMETHING there. 3a) Mood affects productivity. Significantly. The difference between a 90% mood resource generation and 100% mood is about 30%. 3b) You cannot raise mood with higher priority food. (I've tried with Cherry pies)
4) I like to cross train my villagers ("10's across the board" I call it). While they take a small mood hit, especially if moved to an area they don't like, as they level up, then spend the evenings in their house, their mood will improve.
5) Do not neglect the apprentice system.
6) When starting a new village, be prepared for two events: i) First winter, ii) First wave of pregnancies, specifically female worker loss due to two YEAR post birth. (Women will work until the day they give birth, then you lose them.
7) You can prioritize which food, drink and H2O your villagers consume.
Great info! Thanks for the support! I really appreciate it!
I am playing this game and my towns don't have these names or this map
There are two modes, single player and co-op. Single player has the Valley map and co-op has Oxbow. Co-op is the newer and can be played "solo". You're likely on Oxbow via co-op mode.
So you’re telling me I’ve been digging up stumps for an extra log and having to walk farther and farther away for trees when they would’ve come back 🤦🏼♂️
Yep, on the 3rd year they will come back.
Helpful! Wish I had seen this video before coming back to the game for the first time in 2 years. Now I'm going to have to start over again. I usually build at a bend in the river just west of Gostovia, but the lake does look like a much better place, and is in closer proximity to towns that have better trade items, anyway. The only thing I didn't notice, and you need so very much of it, are there reeds available at the lake, like there are along the rivers?
Yep, on the south east corner of the lake are reads/straw. Only about 180 or so, but they renew every season.
the odd thing is that pig farms produce more manure than a cows shed and many other things made me dislike this game and regret buying it i wish i have waited for the new edision of japan one even if is the same game the cultural deference intrigues me more...that been said this game lost me after 150 hours or so the amound of resorces i had to guther to establish the first gutherers hut and log hut made me hate it not to speak about the houses and the hunger etc..the balance seems off to me ....or make it more realistic or make it more of a building game city skyline type and dont force the player in a grinding process of viewing million times the same animation of bending over or hail the hitler to guther some beries etc... your video is ok but the game is not
Yep, it definitely has a grind element to it in the beginning. Finding the balance and utilizing your villagers to do most of the grind is key. I'd be curious if you watched my playthrough series, currently in progress at episode 7, if you'd find benefit there or insight into some of the mechanics. Thank you for watching! I really appreciate your participation and support.
@@sgtsylver my dear sir i have watched some of your videos and yes they are very helpfull and very detailed ,you do a beautyfull job and your calmness in your voice is the key as you make the one that watches pay attention i dont have any thema with your videos i wish only you could find another game to go through as this one for me is allready ended it leads to nothing as the mechanics and whatelse is killing the fun of the game sadly. I thank you for your concern and respond in my preaty nasty comment i am sorry for any inconvinience i may have made ... still i found your work on the videos very nice and if you can find a way to make maybe a natural inviroment documentarys you will hit the jack pot as your voice and the way you express your self is very magnetic and the people will stuck with you
PS i just subscribed to your chanel from your kindness in respond
@@promitheas32 I'd love to play another game on the channel. Do you have one in mind?
@@sgtsylver dear sir from what i saw in your chanel you allready started the sengoku dynasty so i am pleased i hope to see more of that
Comment, lol. Good final tip sens. However Imagine you want a harder play. How would you prep? Maybe in a future video.
Maybe in a future video. Thanks for the support!
Everyone loves your voice and I have to say, while listening I had a mental image of you reading Bill Bryson’s lovely books for a sleep story channel!
Your tip on using compost bins is pure gold, Ive just discovered these and they save so much money! In spring I gather all the green berries I can and by summer have around 2800 rot. I only have to buy manure for the first spring sowing, after that I have all I need.
Yep, they are pretty awesome! Thanks so much for the encouragement!
I didn't know that about the campfires. I was building small houses in between the bigger villages when I had to go back the next day. Great info!
Thank you! I really appreciate the support!
This is the first time i see your video, i stumbled onto this while being curious about this game. i have to say. that you have a very pleasant voice and vibe. it almost sounds like your reading a story to us from a book. you dont hear this alot in game videos on youtube. you got your self a new subscriber and i wanna watch more of your videos! Thank you for making them. 🙏
You are welcome! Thank you for the support and the sub!!
The grid towns look so weird 😂 curves paths and stuff look better. Imo
I completely agree. About 60% of my town is grid, the rest is more opportunistic and looks so much better.
does the game has an end or do you play forever ?
There is an actual story quest that does end, but the game can continue for as long as you like. The main quest ended for me a long time ago. I just enjoy building and stuff now at this point.
Nice video, very informative, but I have one question, how did you build everything so lined up? When I try to build fences and Streets, it's always crooked and not in a straight line like your's
You can use crop fields or orchards to establish straight lines, they don't need to be completed (hoed) in order to act as a boundary. Then just remove the field when finished. Additionally, you can align your direction by using the compass and simply side stepping (strafing) to align your buildings, roads, fences, etc. Although I find it easier to use the forward/backward keys to place fences and roads.
Can't seem to find that bandit camp anywhere. Been looking all morning
They don't show up until year 2. Just abandoned camps, loot spawns and overturned carts.
Could you please read me bedtime stories every night?
Why not? I did it for my kids for a decade. Might as well start it back up again. Thanks for watching and the support!
When you make tools for cash it's a good idea to spot two of the same item within quick mouse-flick pickup distance, and triple-tap the pickup button. You will get three items at a time that way.
Hmm. Interesting.
I like your voice and tone.... oh yeah.... I also loved the video
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. And, thank you for watching and the support!
Buying prices seem to have doubled since this was filmed, quite annoying
Hi, thanks for the video.
How do you get the air view we can see at 6:22 ?
Using photomode. You can use the escape key to access it in the list. Thanks for watching!
@@sgtsylver Thank you 🙂
No problem!
This is a great game, what I don't like about it is that it has no enemy. No war or battles or village attack by bandits.
Yep. Having bandits attack the village could be cool.
2:28 Yea, I dont blame ya. I always try to move out to where theres less niggas too
Alone in the woods....
That comes across as a "KKK" pun but.. Im black, sooooo... lmao. My name is *DUBZ* FFS @@sgtsylver
could you make a video of layout for a town? if possible with best locations and for effectivness and effieciancy
I'll work on it! Thanks for watching and supporting!
They way you gear up is a waste of time and slow. Turn seasons down to 1 year. Find a mine. Mine it for about 3 years (cause mines reset every season). Sell the ore and you will have 5 to 8k depending on who you sell to. Everybody does this. LOL building and selling stone knives..? Waste of time.
Interesting idea. Thanks for watching and the support!
I got in on this game from very early access on pc so good I got a xbox version as well. My advice is turn the carry weight off much easier.
Good tip. Thanks for sharing!
Im on year 5 and didn't know about backpacks
Thanks for watching and the support!
Thank you for such an awesome video dropped a like and subbed keep the great content coming!!!
I really appreciate the support! Thank you!
Can you make a playthrough on build a perfect village im new and your really good at explaining everything
Definitely will work on a village tour and some building tips video.
I have built in this area before...one of my favorite locations! I enjoyed all of your tips and will implement some on my newest playthrough! Thanks!
Thank you for watching and participating! I really appreciate it!
Started this game yesterday and felt pretty lost, now I feel ready to start a new save more prepared!
Thanks for watching and the support!
Nice tips. Thanks for the video
Thank you for participating! I really do appreciate it!
I recommend to look for the shard where when you begin the game find the tents on the river by the waterfall close to Gustovia.
If that is the case you can make a run around the map on the first day and go to the common spots to look for loot. You can have a full endgame Equipment on the first day with 2000 coins in cash.
Good tip. Check my Let's play if you haven't already. Thanks for watching and the support!
Nice video but you can change gameplay settings so you have unlimited carry weight. That is the one thing i have changed just to make life abit easier
I've seen people do that, especially when decorating. It would certainly come in handy if you're keen on invoking it. Thanks for being here!
Great video. I'm amazed you don't have more subscribers.
Well thank you. I am rather new so it may take time. As long as people keep liking and commenting I figure the subscriptions will follow as well. Thank you for participating.
I just got this game from game pass and I’ve been playing it for a couple of hours and this has helped me so much! I built in a really inconvenient place by the river 😅 looks like I’ll be packing up!
I'm glad it has helped! Thank you for letting me know and participating! It is so very appreciated!
Oh, man. Forgot all about this game.
You gonna jump back into it? Thanks for watching BTW.
Thanks
good stuff thanks!!!
Thank you for the support!
Most of this was not new.. but the tree thing. Noice.
Thank you for watching and participating. I really appreciate it!
@@sgtsylver thank you for making the video. It is well made, good info.
none of this was new or even helpful
That is unfortunate. Some others have taken my concepts, such as naming fields for crop rotation and claimed as their own. Kinda snuffs out my fire a bit. Thanks for watching though.
That is a nice location for a town. I used to build there too. More recently I actually moved west of there, across the river on that outcropping of land. It's way flatter over there and closer to the mine and clay pits so you don't need to do a separate living area for the miners and you're able to fit in more homes and farmland but it is slightly farther from the majority of towns. The fishing hut fits in the river too.
Oh and for farming you want all your fields to always be small. Only one NPC can only perform each action on a field at a time so each field can have one fertilizing, one planting, etc. If you have a 100 tile field then it's going to take forever and you may have workers with nothing to do. I build 5x4 fields so all are 20 tiles and I just make many. In my latest game with a small settlement I have 13 fields because I do two fields of flax, oat, rye, and cabbage.
That area near the fork is nice and flat. I don't worry about being close to the mine, npcs will gather the same rate even if they spend all day walking to the mine. Just how the game works currently on PC.
For farming, I often have 3 people working the same field (on PC), one will start spreading fertilizer, then one will come behind and cultivate, and one will come behind and seed. All working the same field at the same time, as long as it is big enough. So I don't think there is a too big currently.
Thank you so much!
Great tips. Also, I accidentally chose the “right location” in my current play-trough and I can confirm it’s great. For fertilizer I currently use cabbages. You need 2.5 cabbages turned into fertilizer per farm square, will work on pigs soon.
Great minds think alike! Cabbages are great for rot/fertilizer and is what I use it mostly for. I end up having far more manure than I can use or sell so I opt to just use cabbage mostly now and bypass pigs. Thanks for the support and participation!
1st time playing. Was collecting berries in spring and summer. I built (2) compost bins. 1200 berries produce 1200 rot which I turn into 120 fertilizer. I get 240 between the 2 seasons. However, I now have 3 pigs - so I don't know if I'll need to compost berries.
Pigs will create a ton of manure!
@@TrollsRUs Pigs will produce a ton of manure. So much late game that you have to dedicate a market stall or it fills your resource storage.
@@sgtsylver yeah, I'm finding out.
You sound like a voice over guy from a hunting simulator.
Thanks for commenting. I've played one of those. Which do you like?
@@sgtsylver Call of the Wild is the best one, obviously. But, Way of The Hunter was really good too. I think it’s one of the voices on COTW that you remind me of. Question about what you said at the end about the heirs. How do you not neglect them? I have an heir, but he’s only a baby. There doesn’t seem to be much interaction available. Is this something that comes into play when they age up?
@@flyfishizationjones4940 As you progress your wife and son will both occasionally get the yellow exclamation indicating a quest opportunity. Either will provide opportunities to develop your heir. These will keep your heir's affection high, or increase it depending. Neglecting those, like I did thinking they were just some "fetch" quest resulted in the low affection of my heir.
I have COTW so that is interesting you think I sound like someone in that. I'm going to have to fire it back up and give it a listen.
@@sgtsylver haha. I wish I could be more specific. I honestly don’t remember who it was. I would love to pick that game back up, but it completely consumes me. I seem to have a lot of games like that.
@@flyfishizationjones4940 I think we all have games like that.
Are you sleeping ?
Nope, working. Just got off. Time to record the next episode!

Not clickbait. There was at least one tip you didn't know. Thanks for watching.
@@sgtsylver sadly no. All are known things already, but it doesnt mater, I liked the video, especially with the calming voice. But the title "Things you don't know - GUARANTEED" is pure clickbait. Just re-think that with your next one.
