I understand the need for sponsors, but this is by far my least favorite. Raid Shadow Legends is less annoying.

RCE, I picked up this game due to watching you. One bit of advice I've discovered on my own is if you don't want to micromanage every single job, build your hauler huts like you have been but then set the job to the "low priority," which is one step below "normal." That way, whenever you need a beaver for one job but it's seasonal, a hauler will take it if you don't have enough beavers. This way, the haulers act as a buffer for workers so you don't have to micromange all the time.

Nah, if you've been watching you'd know he only has 2 ways to use priority. Either at the highest possible or paused, either one brought about by mild-serious panic as he's realizing he forgot something and/or something terrible is about to/did just happen and he's trying to fix it... All those other priority settings aren't used at all.

You can mitigate that with floodgates. But there are things to keep in mind: 1. You need to micromanage which water to let go through (I use mods to automate them) 2. Bad water keeps permeating through the flodgate unless you make a pit (I'm not sure if below the floodgate would count or right after). But basically bad water works like water and permeates in decending levels of terrain which is only an issue for bad water if you manage properly the floodgate.

Great job using priorities AND having good priorities. I love that there are TWO coffee building!!

The way I get around dealing with pathing over the barriers is I use dynamite to get rid of the block of ground, put the barrier down in the spot the block of ground used to be, and then build a platform over it so that way the pathing is flush with the rest of the ground.

@SmokeandSpirit

2 ай бұрын

Only issue with blowing it down one level is the badwater will flow right over it and irrigate the blocks past the barrier. I mean like its no longer a barrier if it isnt between your badwater and the land you dont want poisoned. So at least in this situation he'd have to blow out two spaces in and incorporate a levee. Really the devs should update levees to block badwater irrigation also since they now block irrigation. I assumed it did but just confirmed with a test that they do not block badwater seepage which seems quite silly. I mean hows badwater toxifying the land if levees are now watertight?

@aldrea6506

2 ай бұрын

@SmokeandSpirit yeah, I learned that the hard way when I was first getting used to the bad water. If the path is crossing the water, I will put the barrier so that there is a block of ground in between the water and the barrier. I was super excited when I found out that the barriers don't have been right next to each other. They can be touching diagonally, and it will still block the contamination.

I always have a hauling post built that is set to the lowest priority job to be filled so that there is always a place looking for work if a random beaver doesn't have a job. They will come and go from that to fill other jobs as you pause or build new things, but they won't just wander doing nothing if you don't notice them.

I tried doing something like that in my last playthrough, but it was pointless because I was basically micromanaging every beaver cuz I lacked so much workforce I had to partially disable (operating at half crew) some buildings to actually be able to get things done, since I lacked resources to sustain a larger population since I also lacked land... I tortured myself with my map and difficulty choices 😂😅

@jase_allen

@@lXlDarKSuoLlXl In those cases, you should be concentrating on just getting those resources. Set water pumpers to highest priority. Set farming and food production to 2nd highest. Use 2 farm houses, 1 set to prioritize planting and the other for harvesting. This allows both functions to happen at the same time, which maximizes crop yields. You only need 1 planter for every 2 or 3 harvesters. And if you're playing Folktails, build bee hives as soon as you can. They give the crops within their range a big production boost that lets you sustain a large colony with much fewer crops.

@@jase_allen i know, that's exactly what I was doing but I still couldn't get enough to sustain more than 20 beavers for 16 days, I was low on everything because bad tides kept coming and 6 days wasn't enough to yield enough food with only 1 squad of farmers (1 planting 2 harvesting), but in reality, it was less than 6 days since the lake wouldn't clear in a single day but in 2-3 days (it's the thousand island map), I tried to diversify with fermenters but I also lacked wood, because, well, the pines couldn't grow cuz they died 😂 It was challenging as hell, I actually had to retry once since I got literally obliterated. I had to tweak the grace period with drought/tides length for at least 12 cycles, if you're in for a challenge, try it out😅

Gotta love how much micromanaging Matt is doing. Pausing buildings then wondering why he does not have resources, never plants anything but oaks but wonders why he never has any logs, and builds tones of storage for things that might need three small storage piles. Truly an engineer.

@cathygrandstaff1957

Oaks are actually the most efficient source of logs, the problem is his tree planting area isn’t big enough. Also I don’t think he ever invested in any storage for logs, just for the stuff like planks and gears that consumes logs so he’s never built up a buffer.

8:26 there's no need to enable the replant function, you can get logs from dead trees anyway. That function is only useful when you have trees in the area that need to keep alive but usually don't want to cut down, like pine or mangrove trees. That said... Turned out Matt didn't mark any planting area on the mountain top from the beginning, so nothing for the forester to do anyway🙄

@benceacs1604

Yes, he realized the tool exists, now he has to realize how to use it properly. Like selecting bigger areas with it and understanding what is the use of very low priority for long term planning.

RCE finally understands one of the many game mechanics. Now if only he could use it more often, and use it in his workplaces.

A great way to optimise the beaverorkforce is to always have an "extra" hauling post with employment priority at Very low, so any extra beavers just go there automatically :)

“So many beavers looking for a job”. Still has most of his factories paused.

For cutting off the construction you can destroy the path a bit back from where you want to stop major construction works that are away from your colony (though make sure it is decently far back since they have a range they can work away from the path). Though even better for the Iron Teeth is getting the badwater dome on the badwater source first. then you can just stop the flow to do the construction. Also, what other people said about managing jobs automatically with priorities is good. The easy changes where you don't have to think hard are low or very low priority on haulers. Same for science and builder's huts, though those ones sometimes needs tweaking. And then very high priority for water. Sometimes you'll want to do high or very high priority on food production as well.

Good job on the priorities Matt. Don't forget to plant trees on the top. They take a wild so the can start growing. Unplant trees spread, so maybe take advantage of that. Also you have to coffe makers. One is more than enough.

I absolutely love the editor :) So glad he says what I’m thinking, lol

lmfao, editor is amazing calling out matt on the coffee shenanigans

My most fav gaming series ever :D thanks Matt for continuing

Matt: *a drainage engineer* Also Matt: *floods everything*

Would love to see this as an extended season. Also, great to see Mat finally using the build priority system correctly! For a next step, getting one hauling post at max priority with say 3 jobs, and then 1 or two other hauling posts at full jobs at lowest priority would be great. That way you'd keep all those unemployed beavers from sitting around doing nothing. You can do the same with extra builders huts and scientists as well. I'd put those on just low priority though.

This man set his priorities straight!

You will need more coffee storage for those 2! coffee buildings :D I'm not sad I like coffee :D

After 6 seasons and a movie, RCE finally learns there are more priority settings than very high. Like an architect planning a building work-flow without ever visiting the construction site.

I think a neat idea would be a 'gate' that used the old district crossing model, but you could close to prevent beavers from crossing into areas during badtides. Keep you from having to block it manually by either destroying structures or building

I love the Timberborners. Please make this a never stopping supply of coontent!

Love the background music in this one!

remember that floodgates have more options than just full open or full close, I recommend running at .5 below max height that way it stores a minimum amount of water guaranteed, while still allowing for overflow to go "down stream"

I find myself waiting for every episode of this

03xxboot would most likely be a reference to the USMC United States Marine Corps 03xx field which is Infantry and machinegunners etc. each with their own MOS code ie 0311 is infantry, the "boot" refers to him being new. new marines are called boots when they reach the fleet (their duty station)

Matt at 19:42 you have stairs into the bad water that the beavers will use to build the shafts, they will still get infected.😮

So, as an American and veteran, the name 03xxboot makes me think they are a United States Marine Corps infantry newbie. 03xx is the Infantry field code. For example, an infantryman is 0311.

Good job using priorities well!

“If you’re not living on the edge. You’re taking up too much space.” That is great! 😂

Matt, you have enough science for the calculation science factory thingy. I'd recommend you build that next especially when you have all the extra energy coming to the grid. It makes it much easier to advance as you don't have to keep such a close track on the science points all the time.

Great work on the priorities! XD

Add a flood gate between the crop fields and water storage so you can pump with out losing irrigation.
