Nah, not really...Had 14 before the first winter, 22 now in the second autumn. No cheats, more food than they could eat.
Really curious though what the expected "usual" amount would be here. 88 sounds like a lot, but I would assume 30 to 40 would be needed at least for everything in the end game?
It is still early access so they didn't put in a cap yet, but I guess eventually they will have to do, or optimize AI, but even then you would need a powerful computer.
Your Ryzen 5600 only has 6-cores, I would guess that a 5800X3D could perform better - but I haven't benchmarked the game yet. In any case, that is probably something they will address during the next few weeks.
With 22 villages I already do not run at constant 60fps anymore (4k, max details, no DLSS...yet) and the heap of seedbags they are now piling up because the seed storage is full will not help either I guess^^
It's not the fact there is 88 villagers, I have 88 villagers, the game starts to stutter not from the amount of people in one area, I have a massive area village at this post, will be posting pics soon, the problem is the shear number of job lists being created and completed and recreated;
88x do this, now do this <error can't do this> next this instead, do this <error new objective inserted> stop, start job from new objective, now do this <obstruction error> recalculating path, now do this, <error enemy situation> pausing list, running away, restarting list.
Add in the enemies <patrol - attack> for all your villagers running around hunter/gatherer or cutting wood etc. Crop growth (and speed increases on certain ones) attack timers, All the resources and the locations, graphics for actions of villagers, and so on.
It's exponential growth on processing. It is bound to start slowing down.
And it's not the game, it's a computer issue. Run it on a supercomputer and you'll have no problems, wish I had a supercomputer
Posting screenshots to show what you achieved trough cheating proofs what exactly?
I can show you a screenshot from a forza round wich is at least 2.08Min record and i made it in 1 Second. Oh how could that be? MAGIC ..........
126 Days with 88 Villagers. If you made that witout cheating why not a Longplay Video wich shows every ingame second until you get all 88. I bet thats not possible......
He didn't cheat.
It is entirely possible to build a massive village with a number only limited by the amount of Jotun Blood you can harvest.
I have 88, I had 89 but one just froze to death because I need more firewood, I forgot to change the gathering back from hardwood while i built my second longhouse, and boat builders.
The way to get a high number of villagers is to make sure they don't die, while you get more. Ensure they're happy and not overworked, ensure an ample food supply, hunters are actually the better option early on as all they need is a skinning knife, bow and arrows, and will bring back needed stuff for clothing to keep your people warm, build cottages and put 4 extra beds in each, bringing each cottage to 6 people, you can add more but they'll all get stuck trying to get out of the door. Building a fishery means you need food to make into bait along with a fishing rod. I don't recommend it early on, same with getting a kennel and capturing pups, they need a lot of food, so wait till you have an ample supply. make sure you have wells and rainwater catchers everywhere, and campfires near all your work stations for winter. Make sure you have at least 2 Barracks and put them on the train and patrol. Make sure you pay attention to what they need when they run up to you, always check. You could suffer and lost everything by missing the fact they don't have a certain resource to make needed tools etc. When the bear attacks be smart about fighting it, same with wolves. When the Blood moon happens, fight them yourself, they are easy if you are smart and watch your stamina. All of these attack appear on your compass so you go to where it is happening and help kill them, if a villager is getting attacked by countryside mobs, mostly they run back to base, know where those mobs are before people start venturing out and be prepared to pull the mobs off your villagers. Build only 1 building at a time, and help them finish it until you have enough of a village that you can set loads of things building and leave them to do it while you go hunt Jotun blood and at the same time put down food gathering, hunting, stone gathering and wood cutting flags. When the winter invasion is announce you have 23 days, find the portal so you know which side they are coming from, plant a patrol flag and build defences, 1 day from invasion, set all your barracks and archery rangers to patrol only the flags you put down in between your base and portal. An build watchtowers, hedge towers and fences, man the towers with hunter (better archery skill) and fill out the rest with any villager that has archery in event he smallest number. Make sure you built arrows and bows all round, and also make sure the redistribute the arrows between all the ranged villagers, because the hunters hoard them. Make sure when you find a cave you have a patrol flag directly outside the door, so when your miners get spooked by a cave spider (or baby) and they run out your guards can kill them so the miner will not keep getting attacked every time they go back in. Plan your building placements, Houses can be off to one side, as long as supplies are near where needed. For instance, it's no good having a farm on one side of the map, and a cook station on the other, food just won't get cooked, unless you build 2 warehouse, 1 near the cook and 1 near the farm and a market to ferry the stuff between, and they need access to supplies, so having a crafting miles from the farm, just means they won't have rakes and you won't produce any food, crafter's need wood and fibres for rakes, so they need to be near where they can get the wood and bark or flax. As for the bosses, when you can kill all the mobs, plant a patrol flag, and set the barracks and archery range to patrol just that flag for say 8 hours, then go attack the pulsing things, and the boss will appear and you will have an army to help kill it. Once it's dead harvest it's corpse and use the item to build the magical totems, they give buffs if you set a villager to work on it. Cook all food in different combinations yourself, this will give you recipes to set as task for your cooks, I generally set 4 of each recipe, because that is all they can fit in the pot, and if they don't have ingredients, they will just cook a different recipe. Garlic soup and onion soup used together is a powerful heal, (onion is instant health, garlic is heal over time) when you fight have a few of each on your hot bar to keep your health up.
At this point I have pretty much told you how to play the game, I may have forgot something, or left something out, but you get the point. It's a game of planning, not brute force.
Good Luck catching up to our 88+ villages, it's really not that hard if you are careful and attentive.
