How to make a self autonomous and automated village ?

[Squaul]

And i mean at least a 90%~+ automated village i understand that maybe i still need to keep doing some little things but well less things needed egual to more relaxing things to do instead .

What's the tech and ressources i need to stop having running every where for every things and start instead to really helping me ?

What's the things you think that are the most optimize i need to do first ?

(btw for exemple i have a lumberjack but i don't see where the wood that he collect is stocked and i dont see what my craftsman do either . Does the working villagers produces invisible goods ? Who are just some stats for your village ? )

All construction resources by default should go into your resource storage as should all non food created items.


All harvested foods and seeds will go into your food resource storage.

Some of your skill tree settings will also have affects on your citizens work and productivity yields.

To optimize your citizens work you must go under your managment tab and select a building from there you can decide what the villagers make and how much they produce per hour.

Their hourly output is determined by their corresponding skill level in the job you assign them to.

Hope this info helps answer some of your questions.

Orchards you must plant yourself and require no fertilizer

Buckets of water must still be gathered by the players.

Also fertilizer must be stored in recourse building in order for the farmers to have access to.

You don’t need much.

1 Worker @ wood shed: Firewood - logs - boards
1 Worker @ Hunting lodge: Meat , Leather, fur, salt meat, dry meat, feather
1 Worker @ mine: Iron, Salt, Stone
1 Worker @ smithy: Iron tools
1 Worker @ Barn: flax - straw

If you don't have the mine, you need to go for Stone tools and the digging barn instead.

You can use Feather(or iron arrow) and Iron tools for selling

That's enough to keep a village running.

You will need to do all your building repairs and all your own selling, and there are a few other jobs that cannot be automated, as jasonswearingin says.

I recall someone posting a relatively simple self-reliant village [Edit: see post above], with, as I recall woodcutter (logs/firewood and sticks), extraction shed (stones), smithy (tools: axes and knives), hunter (meat and feathers) and innkeeper (roast meat). The feathers paid for the taxes. Some jobs might have been duplicated.

Note that the extraction shed and the smithy are essential. If they aren't yet unlocked, these are what I suggest you work on, so you don't have to pick up all those stones yourself.

If you want to develop the village further (and I doubt most of us would be happy with just the simple set-up described above, not for long at any rate), then balance will become both important and difficult, and you will probably need to change workers around each season at least (crop working is highly seasonal), and keep a close eye on resources, particularly as workers level and animals breed. You might, for example, have had animal feed nicely balanced, but your animals have bred so you need more food, your farmers have levelled so they make more food, but you didn't grow any more rye or oats so now the farmer has used all the grain you had intended to use for planting.

This is a different type of work from picking up stones and chopping down trees, but it is probably no less demanding. It is probably more satisfying, though.
