Eventually, that gave me enough overhead that it was essentially just running on autopilot until the population killed the system.

      Always build a school first. Doesn't matter if the Teacher only teaches three students their entire career, that's a net gain of 2; 3 educated workers minus the now deceased teacher. And Educated workers produce twice as much stuff as uneducated workers, so Schools are key.
      Hunter, Gatherer, School, Tailor, Blacksmith, and then Quarry if I'm in desperate need of more stone, and a Mine to get me Iron and Coal to produce Steel Tools, which last longer, meaning your Educated Workers get more done, for a longer time, than your Uneducated Workers.

    I always start with a boardinghouse (to avoid homelessness early on, but if needed I build one or 2 wood houses), blacksmith, woodcutter, 1 crop field (food limit straight up 10000) or 2. In the Winter, they all do laboring anyway, so they do their gathering building resources in the Winter. Then when I get my food up to about 3000 (which is fairly quick because of the crop field), that's when I get my schoolhouse, forester and tailor. I find that as long as they have firewood, they don't freeze to death. I literally don't hardly build fisheries until later, because they barely generate any food. Waste of labor. Better to have a crop field with 4 people than fish which barely produce anything.

    Some tips:
    Build farms first, two 8x10, an 8x10 can be tended by one citizen, build early to ensure a first year harvest.
    Foresters can plant, cut or both, if you have a forester set to plant with a herbalist and gatherer you can maximise their output.
    Build a boarding house to avoid homelessness whilst you build new homes.
    A good rule of thumb; if it's not a resource creator then it's a late game building.

    @stewartgames6697 4 года назад

    A good strategy for the first few years in Banished is to set up a forest industry and fishing. You also want to de-centralize a bit with storage house- basically, build a fishing dock, a storage hut right next to that dock for storing the fish (saving the fisherman walking time delivering the fish to a storage in town), and add a house by the docks where the fisherman family will live. The same goes with the forest - you want to put down a small cluster of buildings in the middle of a forest, including a forester to reforest and chop down trees for firewood, the wood cutter to make firewood, herbalist, gathering, and hunting lodge, as well as the stockpile and storage house for storing things locally. Build a few houses for the people who make a living in the forest, and clear out any stones and iron in the sphere of the forester so more trees can grow. One of these forest industries bases can maintain itself and provide firewood to the central village and fishing area, and gives you a good start for growth.

    Regarding the pumpkin/squash business: It's like the difference between maize and corn. Corn is a generic term for any seed crop ( hence "acorn" refers to the seed/fruit of an oak tree) - they called maize "corn" in the American colonies because they didn't learn the local name for it ("mahiz" was the Carribean term for the food, so the Spanish adopted their spelling of it, "maize" since they had earlier contact with the Caribbean tribes than the English had with the Iroquois/Algonquin/etc. of North America) and decided "its a grain, so let's just call it a corn". Eventually the term "corn" was held on by the Americans as a way to distinguish themselves from Europeans, who had taken up the Spanish name for the food. "Squash" is the native term for the group of New World fruits that include pumpkin, butternut, etc. (all the same species, by the way, just different varietals bred for different purposes), while "pumpkin" is a bastardization of the ancient Greek word for "melon" (it actually went like this: Greek pepon -> French pompon -> British English pumpion -> North American colonists pumpkin). Again, the British colonists did not bother to learn the local terms for the fruits right away, and instead presumed it must be the pumpkins mentioned in ancient Greek writings, so they named it pumpkin. Later the native term for the fruit, squash, was also adopted, but the use of the word pumpkin continued on for the one particular varietal of the plant - the large, orange ones bred to produce seeds and thicker husks over flesh fruit.

    Personal preference; start by building a boarding house, start up basic infastructure of gatherers, hunters and fishers for food, forester to keep logs coming in and a woodcutter. Start gathering stuff, and as resources start to come in slowly start building houses for families. Your people will only "marry and produce children" only if there's available housing. And you have to be quite careful how fast to expand because you may get exponentially more children, who don't do much useful but require food and clothing. :s
    Also, this game is one of my all time favorite city builders. Crank the difficulty to max and it's game of spinning plates avoiding disasters and starvation. Every time you fix one thing, something else breaks.

    Firewood is definitely a first priority early game as you need to have it collected and enough to last the winter demand and also if workers are in a job such as farmers/gatherers/hunters/forestry if there is no work to do they will default to labourers work until there is the work available usually winter when it’s too cold to grow harvest etc. Also the game will default the closest adults living in a house to a workplace nearby so you will find over time that you will get hubs of farmers near fields miners near mines etc in housing however the developer of this game stated when he released the last update that the game is now complete and final so no more updates as he has moved onto other projects. The mods are definitely worth a look though Jon!

    I never had this experience of all life ending on the beginning of the first winter. Just keep track of your stocks and everything should go well.
    Sure, I had people dying and getting reduced to an amount most of the more "advanced" stuff wasn't upkeepable (that's not a word, I know, but I'm German and this makes sense :D) so I just repurposed the work force to all things essential.
    I don't think this is a hard game at all. But it's really enjoyable and I love it.

    "The farmers aren't doing anything!" It's the middle of the summer, Jon. They don't start planting until spring. And I know, I know, I'm super late, but the reason you're out of laborers is because you built the school too early. So now all your potential laborers are instead going to school and won't be usable as laborers for another several years. On the plus side, they'll be more efficient at their jobs, but... (Also, you waiting so long to put in a blacksmith and a tailor is making my teeth itch. 😆)

      If you want to try it again, I've got two words for ya: Colonial Charter. Or Mega Mod. Mega Mod actually has Colonial Charter in it, plus a bunch of other mods put together to make the game a lot more complicated. (Though I prefer to also add in the mod "Iron is Iron" because Colonial Charter turns Iron into Iron Ore which you then have to smelt *first* before you can do anything with it. It can be frustrating when you're just starting a new town.)

    Marketplaces help make a variety of food available in an area for you people to take to their houses. They are most useful as your town sprawls out as the market workers will bring all the different food from your more remote storehouses to your markets which you've ideally placed near your houses.

    wrt What Markets do: What you'll notice early game is that your villagers take whatever they can carry out of the storage barns in huge quantities because they "might" need it in winter. Markets set per-person limits on how much food, tools and clothing each villager can take, which is really important during those times you don't have food surpluses in the thousands

    The end of the video was about what I expected because that is exactly what happened the first time I played. The best way to prevent it from happening is to build at least one house a year for the first several years until people start dying from old age.
    From a mechanic perspective the cause is the following:
    While people are free to move from house to house to live closer to where they work but empty houses can be claimed by families.
    Couples can't have kids and start a family unless they can claim a house.
    people will not move out of a house if it means they will be homeless.
    So if you do not build houses, No one can get a date because they all live with their elderly parents and nosy siblings. By the time enough people die that people can move around they are all too old the have kids.

    @cameronmcallister7606 4 года назад

    Banished was my favourite game for a while. I played it for a ludicrous number of hours, but never made a HUGE town, because it simply isn't that fun for me to do. Rather, I built a decent hamlet, and let it grow naturally, then left it as though this population would sit like that, in this nice little town where everyone knows everyone and gossip spreads quick, when winter sets in the snow dusts the town and the chimneys roar, the people seek warmth in their nice warm houses whilst their children play with their little wooden toys, some imported from the major cities along the river, those ones being obvious...
    Meanwhile, over in the woods nearby, the local herbalist (who jokingly calls herself a witch to the children when she ventures into the town to purchase foodstuffs for the week) regularly brings in fresh herbs from the woods, carefully handpicked to treat the scurvy that stopped occurring once she arrived. She is a wise woman, and well respected, if there were anyone who was considered a leader, she would be it. This was proven when, in the smallpox outbreak of 1674 she managed to prove the effectiveness of quarantine in the new hospital...
    The old man who long ago retired from his farm often grumbles about the weather in spring, about how the mountain air brings a chill that settles in his bones. His wife Margaret often says that the weather is all that keeps him going these days, the frost actually bringing him some pleasure as it brings down the fresh air from above. He may not have a lot anymore, but his four wooden walls and dim house are more than enough, and seeing his grandkids, and even one great grandkid playing in the stretching fields and prairie softens his old heart, and at the annual summer festival he often tries the local batch of mead (A hobby of the apiarist) first, as a tradition from many years ago...
    This game is my RPing game, where the actual progress doesn't matter, I am sure that with mods I could make a huge city with metropolitan population... but I simply don't find that fun. Rather, telling the story of Brian the Woodcutter whose wife died tragically one cold winter leaving him and his son, aged 4 at the time to fend for themselves.

      I'd add something for smaller barns and specialized stock yards. Makes it easier when gatherers can drop they stuff at a smaller storage where market keeper picks them up from. And maybe that busy laborers thing that lets you send otherwise idle people in forest to gather plants etc. iirc. But I agree, throw in handful of mods and the game gets even better.

    Ultra-basic guide for anyone new to the game: build a tailor, a blacksmith, a school, and a woodcutter in town, and build a forester, a gathering hut, a hunting cabin, and an herbalist in a little cluster in the forest. Make sure the area of effect for those clustered buildings covers as many trees as possible without going out over water; water is useless for them so only takes up valuable space. Build a minimum of 8-12 houses around a central market. Build a second storage barn, then a fishery, and then a trading dock. After that you're on your own, but by this point you should be able to handle everything. :P
