I'm on my third play through... The one thing that made that first winter super easy to get through was to turn that first workshop into a leather/linen production shop. Don't forget to have a crafter constantly producing light clothes (hood, shirt, pants, gloves & cape) so that you and all your villagers can stay warm. The villagers will automatically pick up the new crafted clothing from the armor stands that come with the workshop extensions so there is no need to manage that. The 2nd thing is that linen production uses a LOT of fiber so, I recommend starting your farm out with at least one plot that is dedicated to flax plants (you can change it later when you build up a stock pile). Hope this helps anyone that is struggling through that first winter!
Break down bark to get fiber. If bark fills your inventory, you can process it into fiber from your inventory. If it is on the ground you can process it there too.
Thanks for this video, it's nice. Of course there are sooo many other tips. I ha ve readings to do here of course, I read a little bit, very good tips in the comments. Here are some tips. I think the first 3 made me last the winter for the first time. 1) Build on a flat area, but kind of highground, like the top of a hill. When terraforming it will create an undestructible barrier and you'll have a few points to watch. 2) Build next to a wulfur den. Having constant wulfur attack is kind of painful but it's a constant source of meat delivered at home. Usually 1 or 2 at the same time. 3) I may regret it later (I'm in the first year), but iron isn't so important the first year. I think it's better to be settled day 1 or 2. My second playthrough, it took me 4 days to find a spot with a mine close to. And that's too many days lost. But I'm not an advanced player, maybe later you can manage with these lost days. I don't like the idea to use a seed an knowing the map before playing it. 4) It's possible to grab these annoying rabbits, just crouch to them, and when you're close enough, sprint and grab. Then release them in a small pen and use your club. The first gatherer's hut also works very well.
Hi there! For fiber U can use thatch and tree bark. Just collect it, open inventory and press LShift+LMB on it. It takes a bit of time, but U can press this quick, everything will be converted to fibers. Good luck!
Restarting the game is huge, I'm about to restart my game for a 3rd time because I start to see flaws in how I approached the game. I usually get to day 20ish and restart because I can see I hit bottle necks. Like I never have enough food even early on because I prioritized wood and stone too much and didn't get the farm up early enough. I'm thinking about building near the ocean so I can fish more and use boats. Never used those yet.
A good tip I learned is to take a copy of your world seed when you find a good one. I have a world seed where my land's mine stone is just a small walk away from the shipwreck, so I have saved that world seed and copy & pasted it when I restart the world. This way you can get used to the layout of a specific map, know where the good spots are and get started building up in a good area quicker. Setting up a starting camp near the beach is a good idea to begin with as fishing is a very reliable source of food. Later on when you are ready to progress to carpentry and iron smithing, then you can plan out your main town, while having a stable economy to work with as you do it.
yes, a good game, but first play through of the game I made it to the end of winter, and all of my villagers died of hunger because I didn't think ahead. You really need to look up a few good tuts like this one before you start because it isn't an easy game to master right away.
Before permanently settling a village, I recommend finding a mine entrance (cave entrance building) and building your base close to it (giant rock that turns yellow in resource radar). It might take a few days to find it but it is worth it in the long run to be close to it when you get to iron tools.
there are many YT vids and threads on forums, which share good Map-Seeds for a good start. Take on of this, sp you save time and can restart the same seed, when you want ...
I downloaded the game at my character was immediately slow motion running game was running fine but I restarted a few times and still same thing and my pc was running 100fps on high and my pc should not have any issues running this game! what could be happening
All I want to know is…….since we can make “earth walls” and dig trenches……..Please tell me that I can make a moat by digging trenches from a large water source(like a lake). And connecting them. ??????
Will there be boats? If so, a costal build might be preferable. Also, the guide on the steam page suggests to not build until you find the rock cave and then build near that.
@@joshuasmith5472 yea. It’s rough. But it allows fishing to just be the primary source of food, you can set your gatherers to go far and gather. But if you build far from water, your warehouse wont go get the fish, and your cooks wont cook them.
I wouldn't move too far from the ocean, easy source of good food early game, even my second village was just a short jog from it, my other tip is aim to have a couple wells in your village, it makes cooking and supplying everyone with water so much easier, and lastly, have several different sources of food, hunter, scavenger, farm, fisher, two of either, on top of what your bring in as you do stuff should help out a lot. My gf and I just finished winter, no deaths, but we had difficulties that will change how our second playthrough will go for sure.
First tip, you found the perfect place to build your village. The mistake is building the Eye of Odin in it. Build the Eye out far enough that the random spawns won't pop up in the middle of town. They always head for the eye. With a few walls around it, you can keep resource cost down to protect it, and when the spawns happen it is close enough to run down the road and kill them. Not nearly as many repairs to the village as you would have if you built around the Eye. Second tip, don't think small. You are not building 'A' village, you are building an empire of many villages sharing resources by using roads, the warehouse, and market.
Just bought this game on the recent sale, and have been loving it. Your content has been extremely helpful, and has definitely earned you my sub! Thanks, and hope to see more!
Offset the work hours so you give villagers (in early game) so, leisure time around time blood moon hits and they are not useless and sleeping. This way they are awake and in camp. Slip a club into the workers inventory for them also.
i'm really digging the concept of this game. i just couldn't get around how raw it was at parts. like the villagers and so on. giving it a year or two to cook to maturity was my call in the end.
BE CAREFUL about making metal production. I built a bloomery and a metalwork station, and a few nights later a Bear attack spawned. One bear with a boss ho bar, ate me and my defender alive. If you’re gonna rush metal, have a few defenders first.
The bear attack will happen no matter what you've done to your village. The encounters at night happen randomly but you'll notice they get harder the further into the year you go. For example in spring you'll get the zombie like enemy type at first, then around summer to fall you'll have skeletons start showing up. And its usually before winter comes that the bear attack happens.
I have been playing the game and loving it! Here are some of my tips that will help at the start. Please share yours with me.

Getting enough food in the early game is a challenge. 🍲

Oh I have not tried. Not sure if you can move water in this game?

⛵boats would be great!
you can collect thatch from reef at the beginning. This one you can IN YOUR INVENTORY convert to fibers.
Oh! Thanks for tip
Viking radar is it new name for me 😂.
It just fits :)
This was a great vid, thanks man!
You missed the most important thing. Build close to water. Build a fishing hut. No more food problems.
Hardest part by doing that is the amount of resources you have open to you. Like flax, berries and vegetables
Right! The fishing is OP. Thanks for the tip
@@joshuasmith5472 It is a balance for sure :)
@@joshuasmith5472 yea. It’s rough. But it allows fishing to just be the primary source of food, you can set your gatherers to go far and gather. But if you build far from water, your warehouse wont go get the fish, and your cooks wont cook them.

Both solid tips. Yes to the "building an empire". It has taken me a couple of play through to realize this one.

Yes, yes and yes! Great tips.
Zombies also drop bones havent found out what their for yet
The spiked club uses them... not sure what else.
yeps!
arrows
dont forget, you need the coast for fishing later, so dont go to far inland
Yes, good tip! Thanks
i'm really digging the concept of this game. i just couldn't get around how raw it was at parts. like the villagers and so on. giving it a year or two to cook to maturity was my call in the end.
I am enjoying it. Early has been good so far.
Spot on, the 'villagers' are mostly idiots most of the time. They need much better AI.
BE CAREFUL about making metal production. I built a bloomery and a metalwork station, and a few nights later a Bear attack spawned. One bear with a boss ho bar, ate me and my defender alive. If you’re gonna rush metal, have a few defenders first.

bloomery is enough to spawn bear attack

@@CSDigitalArtscan confirm. Just started. Built a farm and a watch tower. Bear destroyed me. No bloomers in sight
i cant wait to play Aska but i have to wait till the 28th 😪
SOON!
on my Steam it says 20th of June and i bought it yesterday
My tip is to never eat yellow snow. 😊
Wise advice
Great video & tips, thanks!
thanks!
Cheers for the vid
Looks promising
good times :)
btw the way to say tojun is yo - ton im pretty sure
thanks!
