Honestly you have no idea how much this tutorial helped me, thanks. All the others that i found were either super advanced or people showing off their giga factories. Looking forward to the next two parts.
linking service buildings to the town center radius,,, wow,,, I was trying to get all my houses into the radius' of the service buildings... new city start time... thanks!
Thank you, I temp took down the vid. I want to re image the channel and try to bring it back to life. Taking down part series and seeing if they are worth finishing.
The two tips I didn't know were about the water piping and the market rings. Man, that's a game changer the rings bit! If you haven't yet you should totally post a guide with that info on steam or something.
I have not done a steam guide, I will think about trying to fit that into my schedule, I am set up for the next episode just have to find the time to record it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I might do a series after do the next tips and tricks because the end game has a ton of stuff. to get to the omni temple. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Rails are more of a pain but they have some extremely powerful uses in my experience, even considering only short-range considerations. A series of mine carts in a loop with 1 or 3 spaces between them, with access to the only instant mass load/unload method in the game, are the fastest, most compact way to extract bulk material from resource extractors that I've found, which is important because with only 10 in-built output buffer it's not hard to saturate them with happiness and specialty bonuses. The only other way is to cover a side with chutes and put them directly next to a barn/train station, which then occupies 12 tiles of the extractor's working area. Mine carts and trains can also, by being able to set different cars to different items that are loaded/unloaded automatically, move a large variety of items into and out of an area with as little as a 2 tile wide entry and exit corridor, like the caravan but more so. If you try to make so much as a tavern that stocks all the jams, you're already at the point where this starts to become convenient. But even if you never want to place a single rail, there is still a big train-related tip for the mid game onward, which is that the "train station" should probably have been called something like "warehouse", because it's ability to quickly load and unload trains is only half of its use. The other half is that it's a storage building that can store twice as many item types as a barn. Very useful for compact routing, in that you can have multiple buildings take their inputs and send their outputs thru the same building. I didn't realize this until after I'd been using it only to load/unload trains for a while, so if you've never used trains you might not have realized the implications of this ability. Also, another tip that took me a bit to realize: the maximum number of chutes/belts between squared up buildings 1 tile apart isn't 6, it's 9. Place the first layer on the ground, then place the next two with ramps. This still works if one of the buildings is 1 level higher than the other, simple replace the ground layer with ramps. Edit: Another early game tip that isn't obvious: fluid pipes can carry a lot more than water, like fruit juices, milk, various medical items, potions, etc. You may need to configure the connections to make it work. I found this out accidentally when a pasture pumped milk into water lines.
9 Chutes attached to one building, GG, chutes move 4/s can you think of a farm making 36 of a crops at a time that is crazy!!! I will give this one a try. I did not talk about rails in the early game as I think that the metal rail and the metal minecart is where they start to shine and to me that is the mid game. but they are crazy good for a labor less way to move things around. Water pipe and chutes move things at 4/s I should have included that in the early game that is for sure. until you get to magic converters nothing can keep up and the fluid layer keep thangs off the surface.
@@APH3343 I don't think I've ever actually needed 9 chutes/belts for output of a single item. But being able to put 3 chutes/belts on a single tile has definitely come in useful, and it's also useful if you're pulling out multiple different item types from a building.
Thank you soooo much, i really hated the way conveyor belts ruining the looks of my townhall i have dozen of em running around the city, now i can make efficient yet pretty town, thank you!!
I've been playing this game for a long time but I'm always interested to see other ways of doing things... try it out and compare. Very happy I found this video. I've gotta experiment with the circled area from the Town Center and its range of effect. Btw. I also recommend spreading the shops around.
as the town gets bigger I agree better to spread out the shops. by the mid game I think I have 2 food marks 2 schools and a few gen stores in each town center. thanks for watching!
I run the water like you do, but it never gets past the first connector no matter how many wells I have feeding the pipe line. Did they change the game?
Pipes are wonky, and I do need to do a new vid with updates, looks like 1 well can supply 10 houses in the current build but I have to so some testing. Make sure your pipes are going in the right direction, and that there is nothing else in the pipe, these are the two common problems I ran into,
I delisted them. I feel that I did not do a very good job of them. Thanks for watching and commenting. I am still looking into re-doing them as I get the time and people can still watch them by going to the playlist, just know at some point in time I might do a take down and re capture them.
the town come out to be way cleaner with the market and general shop around... I will look for using the tips AND still play it as I like it. I love optimizing the goods traveling, but I lost so much time in it I got hundreds of thousands of gold and red coin and I didn't start makong medicine yet, I like how easy I can spend on building, I love renewable ressources so I get cramped when stone and iron ore a getting scarse.
Thank you for finding and watching the vid! I unlisted it a long time ago because I did not like the way the other videos came out so I really appreciate it!
thank you for commenting in a constructive manor, I went to a heavier editing because of comments were saying I was hard to watch because I have a speech issue where I know what I want to say but it takes me a second to get it out of my mouth. I will probably do a take down and over the next couple day look at re-editing from a fresh recording to see if it is better received
@@APH3343 I think the audio would be better at your natural speed. As it is, it's at a frantic pace, and little bits get chopped in the editing which makes it unnecessarily hard to follow. I found I had to stop and backtrack ... other than that, very interesting strategies - I like the way you group farms and markets. Totally agree on congestion in the city centre being one of the biggest problems with Factory Town when not putting production in to the outlying areas.
The town center range extension for service buildings is mind-blowing and game changing. It changes EVERYTHING!!!!!!

Had no idea happiness affected production!! Thanks!
Just wait tell you have 4k happiness it is crazy thanks for watching!
Just discovered you. Keep grinding brother! Comment for the algorithm and to encourage you to keep going!

Great Video. So helpful. TY. Please continue the magic and address the mid game and late game : )
All great tips. Thanks!! My town centres are always a mess. This will clean them up
Very Cool Video. Helps me massive with my City. Can't wait for your next Videos for Mid & Lategame.
Still recovering my voice, Thanks for watching and glad it helped, hopping it will be this weekend.
Would love to see you do a let's play and work in your tips and tricks into that.

Nice Tips and Efficiency. And yes having fun in a game is way more important than being the best in it.
Thanks for watching!

Oh. and you've got a new Subscriber!
Welcome to the House of H!!! Thanks for joining and watching!
Excellent tips and tricks vid. The cut-in edit you did was a little annoying but i like the vid regardless. Thank you!
Great stuff man! love the pacing
Thanks for the upload. Was thinking about getting this one.
LOL it is a time dump, it is easy to get caught up in this game this is so much to do. Thanks for watching!

i play the game about 40 hour now, and dont even know half of it GREAT JOB.
Thank you I should be back to making the mid game this weekend, Thanks for watching!
Xlnt stuff. Clear and hassle saving tips. Keepem komen
Would love to see a follow up video for mid game!
I delisted them. I feel that I did not do a very good job of them. Thanks for watching and commenting. I am still looking into re-doing them as I get the time and people can still watch them by going to the playlist, just know at some point in time I might do a take down and re capture them.
@@APH3343 Thanks!
I’ll look for them in the playlist.
This is the best intro on RUclips
why you use 4 wells inatead of 1 Well next to the sea (with just a few pipes more)?
If you double-click on the grabber, you have acces dirrectly to change it
Thank you, I am getting ready to do an update to the tips and trick with the new build of the game and i will include that in.
the town come out to be way cleaner with the market and general shop around... I will look for using the tips AND still play it as I like it.

Ok, I understand, but still, the information is pretty good. Have a good one.
I wish I knew about the survey rings
Thanks for watching! I about walked away from my pc when I figured them out. I did restart a new play thorough.
What is with the manner of speaking? SOunds like a million jump cuts on the audio track?
Omg you edited this wayyyyy to much
see other comment,
Your cuts with the audio is really frustrating and it makes you sound like a robot
thank you for commenting in a constructive manor, I went to a heavier editing because of comments were saying I was hard to watch because I have a speech issue where I know what I want to say but it takes me a second to get it out of my mouth.
