Not a good idea to build your hospital "downtown"! Every disease in Banished has a "circle of infection" (it varies by disease, but is usually a minimum of 8-10 squares) and anyone who spends time inside that circle can catch the disease. The circle still functions when the sick Bannie is in the hospital, so in an epidemic your hospital will become a major spreader. Put it our of town in a direction where people walking to it will be moving away from other people. One problem is that the hospital is a happiness attractor and people will go idle around it and get sick. As to the low health, it is related to diet. To be healthy Bannies need protein (meat and nuts), grains (wheat and corn in vanilla, mods add others), fruits and vegetables. Until you built the hunter and gatherer you had no source of fruit or protein, so very unhealthy Bannies with only vegetables. They won't get to five hearts until you get some grain seeds, no matter how many herbs they get. So happy you are doing this series.

You might want to build a Taylor soon, you are out of clothes. Once you build a bridge to that little island maybe put the Trader on it & a storage barn. 😀

Oh yeah tailors I forgot those existed

A UI tip in case you (or anyone else) need it, you can also change the amount of people working a job by clicking the up and down arrows to the right of the right side number on the building where they would be working. And the other number to the left of that is how many people of that job will work on/in that building. For buildings still being built those numbers are for builders.

Haven't played Banished in a while, but man... after watching this series I'm thinking I might install it again.

I think you should place a few buildings you'll need later and then press the pause button (on the right next to the building progress bar) just so you can have that space planned and so it's ready to go in case you need it urgently. You could even leave it unpaused and have all the materials for it gathered and then wait to build it until it's needed. I've found that's helped me personally (I'm also forgetful and often run into planning problems later haha).

It's funny to imagine the dynamic between the hipster forester/herbalist couple and the tradcon hunter/gatherer couple living right next to each other out in the woods.

6:15 He was a builder but then changed to a hunter. When a citizen get's a profession, it's not always going to be his or hers profession for the rest of time. The game gives professions to citizen in a way that makes to most sense (usually =D). That's why the Hunter, Gatherer, Forester live in the forest and not near the river: You weren't lucky, the game was just being smart.

People choose houses first, and then professions after. They change jobs when it makes sense based on where they live.

29:50 I'm french and that sounded so french lol, I wasn't expecting any english speaking person letting out such a heartfelt "aïe aïe aïe" !

Was just watching the first episode and as I finished the second came out. Great videos. Happy to see banished again. 😊

In my own game where I started with "easy" start which had 5 wooden houses built along with the storage barn, I spent a in game decade growing to about 50 population and then starting families very quickly started dying off, over the course of 5 years dropping me to about 17 laborers before I got my population growing again now around year 20. Things look good now but I have very few ambitions beyond getting all my buildings back to working order. I managed to get a town hall in that time so I kept watching it for "nomads" but otherwise I was happy I got to grow my 3 max size pastures to capacity with one each of sheep, cattle, and chicken, having started the game with a small herd of sheep thanks to "easy" start.

Health of your citizens is dependent on many factors. Having plenty of firewood and high-quality clothing helps, especially in the harsher climates. On that note, you'll be needing a tailor very soon to make use of the leather your hunter is providing. But the bigger factor is food variety. Having a widely varied diet helps a lot - you'll notice that the average health began increasing shortly after your gatherer and hunter got to work. It's for that reason that I save farming for the mid-game. I find it much easier and more reliable to stick with hunters and gatherers for food in the early game, since they give you good food variety, and there's still plenty of wilderness around for them to operate effectively, and compared to crops, they're less vulnerable to meteorological whims. The only issue is that they're inefficient in terms of the amount of land they need relative to the total volume of food they can supply, and the larger your population, the less effective they are. You can think of them as following the square-cube law. Assume your city is square in shape - the area of the square represents your population, and the perimeter of the square is the space that can be used by gatherers to forage food. As the city grows, its area expands according to the square of the perimeter - in other words, the forageable area around your settlement increases much slower than your population does. The flipside of this is that, when the circle is very small like in the early game, foraging is actually more efficient than farming and you can get the same food for fewer workers. The same applies for hunters. Only once my city begins to expand, and I start needing a much larger total food volume with less wilderness to provide it, then I begin to use farms - and by that time I've usually got a few more seeds from traders, so I don't suffer a loss of variety.

lmao the Xandrew reference had me 🤣 I rewatched all of your previous Banished series recently, so I still _vividly_ remember the panic a few times when you were looking for him to see if he'd died or not! 😂

10:00 Check your marketplace storage as well. If I remember right theres storage there too.

Arma in swedish means "Highly unhappy" (give or take) when used in a sentence. As in "Arma ConflictNerd, the winter came early" So probably not a name we'd go for around Sweden. Alma however is a somewhat common name. :)

Arma, as a name at least, appears to be Muslim and it means strong. At least that is what a quick look at google told me.

You can pauze the building, meaning you can 'plop' (plan) anything you want and then pauze the build. I usually go that way in planning my first little town.

IIRC, snow is just graphical, it doesn't have a specific effect. Actual temperature and time of year has an effect but just seeing snow or rain doesn't. Since you don't assign a specific citizen to a specific job, the game assigns a citizen to the jobs you indicate need to be filled. Same with assigning housing. You just build the house and people will move in someplace that ends up being closest to where they work (and I think also close to supplies they need.) The game will do a certain amount of optimizing of what jobs people do and where they live based on their job, so that can change. Also, citizens who are not currently needed to do their job - including, say, a hunter who doesn't yet have a fully constructed hunting lodge to work out of - will act as ordinary laborers until their actual job requires them. That means they'll be seen wandering off to gather trees, iron and stone that have been marked for removal, shlepping food from a producer to storage, or storage to market, and moving materials to construction sites. Early on you see that a lot with tailors who don't have a supply of hides to make clothing with, or woodcutters who have reached the set limit.

Herbalist should not be built close to forester (i.e. in its radius) as herbs grow only in old forests. Sure, you'll still get some herbs this way, but you can get so much more by building herbalist our of forester radius.

@marcuslinton310

Ай бұрын

Herbs grow among all the trees, doesn't have to be old forests, just older trees which will happen once the planting cycle gets established. Basically, you'll get plenty of herbs no matter where you place the herbalist as long as there are trees.

I always build fast and on the verge of desperation and always come out on top. Many ways to play this game.

A rule of thumb is that you need 100 food per citizen. Quick math to assess if youre going to be dacing or atarvation or able to grow the town. This game never gets old, especially with some of the cool mods

Whoa, is that tear in the video when you move the view in the game? I'm enjoying this series so far, watching it to decide if i buy Banished as it's on Steam sale at the moment.

Please post more of this gameplay daily. I'm enjoying this playthrough so much and look forward to more of this. Thank you! 😎👍

Good to see you back, and playing this game 👌👌.. but oofffff the screen tearing, turn vsync on 😅

About the age, you were right about the age at which peoples becomes "adult" but in this game, per ingame "year" time, peoples gains 4 years Basically, a newborn born in autumn 1 will be 4 years old at autumn 2

just finnished binging your last series back in 2018 to find out more about the game

I have played like 30 hours of Banished, and I am just now learning you can change the style of houses....

The stock pile and barn for the forest node need to be in the market radius. Then labourers/vendors will take it to market.

No they don't. The vendors will seek out every item in the game from any barn/stock pile anywhere on the map.

May need some conformation but i think once a business either hits their limit or doesnt have anything else to do they turn into a labourer. Bonus point having s herbalist would be more important that a hospital as it takes care of the day to day illneses whereas the hospital is for the plague/diseases that can spread through tour town.

You are correct, everyone turns in to laborers when their main job is halted.

That "Arma" kid gave me lots of ideas for the one my wife has "in the oven".. My first thought was DayZ.. If it was a girl (it isn't) would be... Daisy. Now I can't get over "Battlefield Bad Company 2".. Or SimCity.

I think I discovered you on your banished playthrough hahaha. This is Fun! Looking forward to this! Maybe a thought that might be helpfull, a herbalist can only gather in "old" Forests. So if you place them near a Forester, the medicinal herbs Will dissapear and the herbalists production goes to 0. Might me also the Case for gatherers, but don't pin me on that. I believe it is even in de description of the herbalists.

So very odd. KZread didn't recommend any of your video's since Simcity I think, until your first Banished video yesterday. Anyhoo, good to see you're still around and I hope you're having a wonderfull day too. PS. Love banished, best value for money game ever. I did a playthrough with some mods that let me recreate the city I live in, Delft, I had over 1000 people until I realised my map was too small.

Still one of the best voices on youtube, so glad YT decided to finally show me a Conflictnerd video!!

Arma is Spanish for "Weapon". Dont you dare compare my beautiful language with Swedish.

FYI Deer stay away from developed areas so your yield will be lower with buildings around the hunting cabin. Hunting cabins should be alone and near rivers/bottlenecks. Forest vs open areas make no difference but I like to clear the area to increase spawn chance and so I can actually see the deer.

@ConflictNerd you should try a play through of Kingdoms reborn. its a game thats similar to this and i've been really getting into it, and having soo much fun! I think its around $20 USD atm. its also really small at less than 3 gigs. If you like banished, and Life is feudal: Forest village, i really think you would like Kingdoms Reborn.

Yah, it's a good idea to place a hospital and behind it a cemetery :D

Bought the game on steam, I played a copy a while back but haven't thought of it in years!

@conflictnerd check the storage in the shelter, your food is going in there so you cant see it in the overview.

I feel as we've been banished, from NerdroSoft Inc. It's always November somewhere. May we start now with a 1970 Operating System? That poor cat has been ignored for too long.

I hope we ever see a sequel on that game.

Market vendors sell stuff from barns in the radius.

Aren't there settings that make the game automatically pause when something important happens, like the start of winter? I died a little inside when u lost 1/3 of the Spud Harvest because of that early wwinter lol. I'm of Irish descent, so it hurts me more than most people haha.

As a Swede, nobody i know, or have ever heard of is called Arma. :p

Lol Dylan. Arma is an old word for poor in Swedish. Like "poor child" is "arma barn" in old fashioned Swedish. Excited to follow the poor child's journey through life 😅

every time I made a cemetery near my crop's coincidence not sure but lots of people got sick and died.

Placing the doctor by planning for the cemetery is pure banished.....people gonna die.

Good old Xandru!!❤

Is there any mod that will make it take into account the food in houses for total stored food?

One thing I do differently from you is I don’t pre clear build sites, including paths. Placing a path or a building will clear it as it’s built.

Remember that houses attracts couples, couples makes childs and adds new people over old ones that will die...

Xandrew is our Lord & Saviour!! Make him Priest, when he arrives!

Have you activated the forester to do wood cutting and replanting?

In Medieval Times you were a Adult with 16. Because people didnt live that long. If somebody reaches 40 you basicly had reached the end of your Life. With a few exeptions the most common people like pesents Farmers they were like 40-50 years old. The Church with better healthcare lived until 60. Some and that was rare 80+.

The kid was named after me 😭😭😭😂

A Swedish kid could not be named Arma because it's a word with a meaning (it kind of means poor). However Alma is a name that was very common in the 19th century!

It’s been my experience that your people will occasionally change professions, which is why your hunter may have just been a builder.

Hey man! I am from Northern Ireland and just wondering if you grew up there? Your accent is interesting :) Either moved away or diluting the accent for KZread?

Can the chapel be the cemetery please. I think you were right about the placement of the townhouse but shouldn’t it be in the middle of town😀😀😀😀
