Question on building priorities and gameplay

[QueenPixxa]

I was watching a YT video the other day, and this guy
(I am sorry, I forgot the name even though I liked his style and planned to watch more content by him)
From the beginning he started adding buildings one by one, based on his own priorities, which are usually the same for everyone in the first 2 cycles minimum, and I noticed that he was very neat with it: he plopped one foundation at the time,and, only when that one was completed, he'd start construction on the second one, and so on.
He never had more than 2 buildings in building phase at any given time.
This made me think about my gamestyle. I usually plop down dozens, for example an entire wood production (factories, wires, power sources etc) area, then I give a very basic building priority.
Which is your style? Do you think it's better to build one then move on, or biuld dozens and let the beavers sort it out?
I honestly have no idea which one is the best method. The first one goes against my impatience, but it's neater.

I build too many things at once, then spend a lot of time waiting for my beavers to catch up. I also place a ton of buildings and pause them, to later re-start construction on them when I really feel like I need that structure.

I set up what and where I want stuff and pause it so my little beavers can do other things first. and then only un pausing certain building so they work on it when needed. works out well for me.
I wonder do you watch the Real Civil Engineer

Sandbox game, there is no right way or wrong way to do anything, It's what you like to do. Me I like to have 50-100 thing's ready to be built, then watch the beavers work, Funny how somethings get built out of turn but for the most part if you do it right they will go in order. I like both way's and play both way's. Stay Safe and have fun.

I set up my roads, then mark each item I want built in the order I want them built, mark the area to be logged, the crops to be planted, what is going into every storage being built then unpause the game and let the beavers build.
while they are building up to and including the first dam to keep water I add housing, beaver wheel and sawmill, campfires, tooth grindstone second farmhouse, forester x2, grill and more loggers stations.

then let it run until they are caught up and slowly add housing until my folktails have extra population to work needs.

Setting down more buildings allows you to map out a little more and gives you more heads up if you don't like something or you feel it's out of place. I unno if I'd like the YTers way of doing it for myself, but to each his own, I'd say.

I agree with this.

Usually, I have more than two building to be built at the same time. However, I try to focus on specific projects, such as building new levees in a specific area, a new housing complex or a new food production chain. At the beginning, it's not a bad idea to keep it at a low scale so that I don't have more than three to five projects at the same time. Once I have a stable flow on logs, it's more flesible and I go for bigger projects. So I wouldn't stick the entire game on only two building projects at the same time, but at the beginning, it's not a bad idea.

I build what I need when I need it.

I do! I like his style very much.
