Day 91

[W1NTER_SOLD1ER]

Who else is around this long in ?

I have 12 followers but they spend most their time just about gathering enough resources to carry out few research and construction tasks slowly but each winter i must manually prepare them by taking them as followers and gathering loads of berrys and mushrooms to get them through winter or spend gold to buy food to keep them going.

Any suggestions as progress is slow and i am only just at level 2 hall with a tool maker and struggling to progress tech, i am waiting to do the mission to liberate the first village but absolute not match for the Brigands with such basic equipment and gear,

Day 38 and I've already built the Village Hall and I have 12 followers. Seems like you have soft locked yourself by not building better production or not utilizing their priorities correctly, namely farming should fulfill you food needs, how are you having issues feeding them if you can easily farm? I also build travel signs near common resources and gather resources/hunt animals while followers are asleep, leaving food in camp or stocking up for them to cook, in addition the foraging also is vital to gathering and making stews which really multiply with added productivity/combat buff. Something that's really important and easily to overlook is make sure you have enough people with high priority on delivery.. otherwise producing and picking up items from production stations will bottleneck everything

I'm in a similar situation. I'm like 60 days in. I have a Town Hall and started my tool shop. What I've realized is this game is a HUGE grind, especially for a single player game. I haven't had time to gear up past starter gear, or start building a functional army.

The building requirements are to much and the time to craft is way to long. Here is what I do about winter, build a foraging shack or two. Keep one or two people there the entire summer. I day before winter, I transfer all the food back to main settlement. You should easily have 400+ mushrooms.

Then When winter comes, I pull all of my outpost people back to main settlement and have them cook mushrooms though out the winter. I work on all my research/wood/ log gathering though winter. Also some building at main settlement.

Overall it is a very fun game, but I think they will have to adjust the grind a bit. There is not a clear step by step process. So you would assume going to a basic tier 2 structure was a logical step, so you can produce straps, in order to gear. Then you start your hall, and you realize what you just got into.

I restaretd at day 70 and now focused on NPC's with good skill perks and higher profiency caps. I also focused farming now and bought seeds for food (potate, radish, etc.). I also send 2 NPC with the gatehring hut to continiosly farm mushrooms and berries that I cook. alternetively I also traval signs around certain food spots so that I could either gather from there or build an outpost. The only real issue are the icnreasing raider waves that keep oevrruning me at wave 7 or 8 and then they steal around 150+ resoruces. However farmign food with fields is the key! easy to obtain in mass at no costs. however you need to find space to buidl 3-4 of those.
