Thank you! I don't need a game to hold my hand, but this one doesn't even bother to introduce the UI. This is exactly what I needed! Old games sometimes didn't have tutorials. But they had a small book explaining the game. Not explaining anything is just ridiculous.
this game is super addictive, I'm replaying the same starting scenario over and over again and everytime it goes slightly different haha. think I've found the right channel to learn more about it, thanks for the great videos!
Goes a lot faster if you put speed at 1.75. Good guide bub my only advice is try to be a bit less verbose. In the words of a letter from Jefferson to Adams. "Forgive the length of this letter, as I did not have time to make it shorter"
thank you so much bro i just downloaded this game from gamepass and it was very complicated till i saw your video i really appreciate your help,you just earned a sub
Just got the game. Half population ended up sick and amputated and ended up starving all to death pretty much. Did not understand how important gathering posts are.
Is there a way to scroll through the people to see which one exactly is sick or an amputee and so on? So I can see if he's an engineer or kid or worker?
You can click on the building where the sick person is working and go to the workers tab to see who is sick. You can also click the icon at the bottom of the screen where it shows the crutch for example to see who is an amputee.
I always build tents first day, I build the resource huts on day two. -20c isn't too big a deal for working in, but sleeping in will make workers sick, which will hinder your progress. I also build a medical facility day one as well.
I really wished I would have watched this video BEFORE i installed the game. I only have about 4 hours in and this guide would have answered a lot of questions early on. well done sir.
So this is a bit late, but you are correct about your assumption. If you have unemployed people they go and build immediately versus waiting till off work. At least that is the mechanism I have noticed while playing my own runs.
I just bought this game and I've been playing blind. I had no clue about the gathering posts or being able to check the temperature. Thanks for the tutorial bro
Do I understand it correctly, that you can assign workers to both the gathering post and the resource piles at the same time? I take it the workers on the resource piles won't utilize the nearness of the gathering post to drop off resources? Will they utilize the road or plow through the snow?
These are good questions and I am not sure about all of the answers, but afaik, the workers at both places will do the gathering, but the pile folk might not use the most convenient drop off point.
Thank you so much for doing these videos. I played the game twice last night, the first time I was so lost that I had to quit and I'm in the middle of my second play through and I know I will be overthrown soon because I am behind on coal (and just about everything). I just couldn't understand how to play but your videos are really helping. I miss the days where I'd save up my pennies to buy the game AND the strategy guide sigh this is definitely a game where I'd buy a guide.
I am so glad you are finding this series to be helpful! Haha, yes--I have died many times and restarted. Even as we approach the end, there just isn't enough food and coal. Never enough! haha
@@DrIncompetent I was up till 4:00 last night but I finished my second play through and survived (on easy mode though lol). I'm only on the third episode and definitely saw ways to improve my playthroughs (the gathering huts confused me lol I wasn't using them till I saw your video and it saved my game!). THANK YOU!
I play the game on PC xbox game pass but there seems to be something wrong with the mmb rotating it just spins continuously while trying to rotate buildings is there a fix for this?
on my last try was doing so well ... i thought ... and i ran out of coal and everyone died before I could work out how to extract it .... or not. i am a beginner!
This game drive me nuts... But love the idea and won't give up. I have already 3 upgraded coal mine, 2 full of workers and engineers 1 with automaton... Still can't get enough coal for -40C to run the generator (also upgarded) whole the time. When -60C degree kicks in... Doomed. What am i missing? Otherwise, the most precise gude for beginners. Thumbs up.
Have you tried burning wood as charcoal? Helps add even more fuel. A place to get coal outside the city is good, and really, you just can never have enough coal. Get it early and build stockpiles to get as much as possible. The research also helps with efficiency!
@@DrIncompetent thank you so much for the tips. I'll try it out. Meanwhile I have done some research and the coal thumper with collecting post produce more (need more manpower too), the problem with these things you doesn't even know exactly how much the building will produce before it has builded. The researches also not too accurate, for example (hunters will produce more raw food...) thank you :D
I've just got this game and in my first try i was doing great, until i forgot about 2 promises i made and lost almost all of hope and discontent increased a lot, also almost running out of coal, so i suppose i will make a new game and take more into consideration the promises 😅
@@DrIncompetent yes if you want to call it by its technical name. Obviously coal can come in any shape as it’s broken off. But for the average person when they think of coal they think of charcoal since almost no one living in 2023 has seen actual coal (unless they were naughty as a kid at Christmas jk 🤣) Whereas most people have seen charcoal and therefore that’s what they think of as an image in their head when thinking of coal. And as developers of a game doing the design they have to come up with an icon that people can look at and know it represents coal as opposed to wood or steel. And so they choose the shape that is most commonly thought of which is yes, as you mentioned, a charcoal briquette. In all honesty though I was jsut giving you a hard time as you’re clearly an intelligent dude and everyone has brain farts from time to time and seeing as at the end of the day it’s jsut semantics so it doesn’t really matter. Anyhow, I just started playing the game and have enjoyed your video. I honestly wish it had been the first one I watched.
I'm stuck on chapter 5 holding around 5k peeps it's been insane yes I cheated the system for researching but over 250 hours I'm so hooked into now in chap 5 it's insane my next steps required. Wish me luck in that and frostpunk watching your guide on it now. Good stuff so far on part 2

Thank you dude, I just lost my first try to everyone dying of sickness and hunger. The first set-up you showed was much appreciated!
You are so welcome! This game is great but it's really brutal at first... it's brutal later as well but in different ways haha
@@DrIncompetent oh yeah this game kicked my ass multiple time, haha xD

Haha, yes! More details in the intro would have been very helpful;)
Yeah, now I can finally play because I know HOW xD
Really well done ! Great video thank you for that !!
Awesome! So glad you are finding it to be helpful!
These are great… many thanks!

I tell you what--I also had to restart several times!

Yes! I had to restart several times. It's intended, I think--the only way to learn is to get crushed haha

I'm downloading it as he speaks, it looks involved as hell, so I figured this would help beforehand thank you!
I got this game in the steam summer sale 2 days ago and haven't played anything else since, best £2.50 I've ever spent.
Haha, such a deal!
So this is a bit late, but you are correct about your assumption. If you have unemployed people they go and build immediately versus waiting till off work. At least that is the mechanism I have noticed while playing my own runs.
Thank you for verifying this!
I just bought this game and I've been playing blind. I had no clue about the gathering posts or being able to check the temperature. Thanks for the tutorial bro
You are so welcome! Yeah, I died a lot not understanding things at the start haha
I put those kids to work on day 1! :)
Haha, get out there Timmy! That coal won't shovel itself :D

Alright dude after i saw the "I did my best" message a few times i end up here thank you for the tips
Haha, I got that message myself ;D It's a tough game!
Nice guide! Thanks man.
You are so welcome! I hope you are enjoying the game :D
I play the game on PC xbox game pass but there seems to be something wrong with the mmb rotating it just spins continuously while trying to rotate buildings is there a fix for this?
That sounds like some kind of bug! It's not supposed to do that at all :(
When steam summer sale is on, I go finding if a game is good and once again find another awesome channel :) sweet days indeed
Haha awesome! I love the Steam Summer sale as well ;D My wallet, not so much :D
on my last try was doing so well ... i thought ... and i ran out of coal and everyone died before I could work out how to extract it .... or not. i am a beginner!
Story of my life playing this game! Haha, so many catastrophes as I figured it out ;)
12:13 bro let the British slip through 😂 great video tho. At night I just heard the bell ring like 20 times and I was like omg
Haha
i did two tries and getting better.. i love this game
Haha, yes! That is how it goes--you die and try again ;D
This game drive me nuts... But love the idea and won't give up.
I have already 3 upgraded coal mine, 2 full of workers and engineers 1 with automaton... Still can't get enough coal for -40C to run the generator (also upgarded) whole the time.

Haha, yes! This is the story of this game. Doing well, crash and burn, rise from the ashes with new knowledge haha
This reminds me gameplay wise of the wandering village just harder and a ice age instead of deadly poison spores
It's definitely got some similarities! This game makes me cold just playing it... haha
Is this game now full and not in early access just downloaded it for my android phone
Oh cool!
i keep wanting to play this again, just looking for new ways to play
It's such a fun game!
@@DrIncompetent it really is a fun game, but always I go the route of kind though
8:15 “the icon for coal is this kind of hexagonal gem”
I’m guessing bro doesn’t do a lot of grilling or camping. That is what coal looks like my dude.
Haha, you mean charcoal briquettes?
@@DrIncompetent yes if you want to call it by its technical name. Obviously coal can come in any shape as it’s broken off.

Different guide haha ;D Dis da basics.

Namaste 🙏
