    The fact that you still need 10 food for the foreman is funny too because it's not like the automaton is eating the food. So you basically have this foreman yelling at a robot while eating 10 days of rations

    Another approach is that because game starts warm enough, they don't need houses for a while (so generator needs to work at night). You can say it's a trade off coal for wood. Depends on your priorities for a game.

    well, you have to build them at some point anyway. but getting your steel and wood reserves up will let you get things built and research going more rapidly. I tried arks on hard last night, got my ass whooped. didn't have enough steel and wood to get a 4th auto built and it caused a cascade of bad things as the temperature dropped. couldn't free up engineers to do more research to keep getting more tech unlocked. and events spiraled until hope zeroed out. I may have to apply the 24 hour shift in two research buildings and move up the beacon for arks on hard. the resources would help get my autos faster. I either had enough wood and no steel or vice versa. then I started having coal issues when the random event shut down one of my coal mines. I only had three autos and I needed 4. 2 coal, 1 wood, 1 steel. just to baseline the resources so I could make more.

    [1] Don't rush the Workshop. Rush Gathering Posts first, because they get you more resources per person (plus fewer people get sick). This gives you a solid footing for the Hard game mode, and you get a Workshop up by the end of day 1 with 24 hour shift. (24 hour shift on one of your two Gathering Posts, too.) [2] Pull your Steam Hubs further from the center. You can fit much more housing around the Hubs if you give them a full circle around the Steam Hub to populate. [3] Children for Engineering is a 20% boost to Research, which is huge when you consider 160% is the max with 4 Workshops. Keep your people warm, and you won't need the medical facilities much until the final storm, so the Medical boost won't have much impact. Good tips in general, though.

    You know you can rush 1 workshop, use emergency shift to exhaust 3 resourse piles + 1 lonely coal pile and then you will need only 2 gathering posts. 1 for 2 coal piles, 1 for 2wood 1 iron. The leftover iron could be picked up by automaton. When gathering post with coal gets empty just rebuild in on the second spot of 2 coal piles. It is enough at the early game to keep the gen running and as the last 2 coal piles get exhausted you can invest in other coal production buildings. This way you can research tech from the very start and have some manpower to use for food\lumber production. P.s. the downside of emergency shift so early on is that your discontent jump up but it's nothing that serious and you also need to turn the generator on at the first night so that your workers don't die.

    you do not need the generator on until the first temperature drop. tents have livable heat level on their own without the generator. if you automate all of the resource production, you can send all of your workers home at the end and they don't really get sick. 1 infirmary with overcrowding and fully upgraded seemed to handle my hardmode needs just fine.

    Great video! Other useful tips: Reserve the first 2/3 rings around the generator for housing. Place industrial buildings around that and any buildings that require no heat (resource depots, hunter’s huts) on the outskirts of your city. Also, scouts travel much faster to locations they’ve already discovered. You can speed up their progress by following established paths rather than sending them directly from the city.

    I don't agree that beacons should be researched immediately. I did that once and the only result was that my two teams were sitting idle twirling their thumbs as there was nothing left to find until the story progressed more. On the first day you should have two labs, eight tents (on hard people get sick on the first night if they don't have a place to sleep) and 10 extra wood to start the next research project during the night after using the extended shift as you suggest. I found that a better use of my time before the first cold snap is to set up a small industrial base with two steelworks, two tree-cutting buildings and a coal thumper around one steam hub. This meant than when temperatures dropped no one had to run around gathering stuff outside the steam hub. At the end of the cold snap I had beacons and extra size teams researched and could then send both teams out. Also, as you state, the automatons are just stupidly over powered. What is the most ridiculous thing is that you can actually put them to do research and then you have around the clock research. At the end of the storm I had every single tech researched. At any rate, thanks for the video. I just finished a play through on hard with no child workers and accepting all refugees with no deaths (well, one death when absolutely no one was sick but the game suddenly said that someone died due to lack of treatment, some things are still a bit buggy).

  • @seventyfive7597
    @seventyfive75976 жыл бұрын

    Great video, however notes about Tip #1: 1) You didn't leave enough wood to get tents for *everyone* on night #1. In hard difficulty you'd surely get several deaths come morning. In fact you will get them even if you only bump people needs to hard and leave all the rest on normal. Even pure normal needs tents otherwise you roll the dice on a lot of sick. 2) You didn't leave enough engineers for a medical post. On hard, or even only on people needs bumped to hard, you must get one come the morning of day 2, and afterwards you'd need another, or to sign overcrowding. Sick _may_ stay under 5, but on hard that needs luck. 3) Gathering huts have little (but not zero) insulation, and are much more efficient in manpower than gathering directly, so some allocation of materials in days 1+2 should be towards them as a priority. So on hard, the above limits you to 1 workshop on day 1, but allows preserving workforce from death and sickness, and boost production. At day 2 you can get the second if you aggressively go to overcrowding in your laws so you can work with a single medical post and save engineers for the 2nd workshop. Now 15 engineers are maxed across the 2 workshops+1 med, or 1 workshop+2meds until you get reinforcements. Later you can go more aggressive on workshop, though remember workshops have quickly diminishing returns.

    workshops have standard diminishing returns at +20% after the first. so 100 - 120 - 140 - 160... but I also advocated that you switch the same 5 workers from workshop to workshop keeping them on 24hour shifts... this means you can have 24/7 workshop usage with only 5 engineers but arent having more than one shop active at once.

  • @seventyfive7597

    @seventyfive7597

    6 жыл бұрын

    I do not disagree with 3,4 or even 5 workshops *eventually* , just that 3 can't be paced for the first day without sacrificing critical structures, also a medical post works normally around the clock, so you never want to take engies off posts when people needs are set to high, which is included in the higher difficulty. So you're left with 10 engies for workshops, even that only if you allow overcrowding, and you shouldn't use 24 hour shifts until later when you have good medical infrastructure, since 24h shifts roll a constant dice on injury for the few engies you have. Due to all this, you better off stick to 1 on the first day, prioritizing tents at least for part of the night to avoid the death dice roll, and a gathering hut or two to add that one level of heat to your gatherers. Leaving a medical post for the next day and for the final 5 engies do whatever since you now avoided the first few critical dice rolls. This isn't that important, just a slight tweak for the first tip.

    I've played through Hard a couple times (refining my build), and I didn't have anyone die from lack of tents. Get Gathering Posts up for people to stay warmer while they work, and put the Generator on Overdrive at night to reduce the number of sick when they're not working. I get one death from the built-in event the first time you use 24-hr shifts, and that's it. NOTE: if you don't have a place to bury the dead, the corpse will cause people to get sick!

    efficiency is 100, 130, 150, 160 for the 4 research hubs. but, child assistants, shrines or foreman can bump that and combined with a 14 hour shift, you will research about everything. plus the last few days opens up extra exploration that gives you 5 free technologies that you don't need to research. its an interesting trick that you found, but I think its is pretty unnecessary. I found full hard mode required getting steelworks and sawmills fast so the research never has to wait for resources was better/required.

    Also after your scouts returns with much needed resources and you want to send them out again, a tip for getting them to arrive much faster would be to choose a location previously visited and journey from there. It will save your scout up to 20 hours especially for those longer journeys like 1 to 2 days!

If they go in fully laden and then die, you lose everything.

    Nice vid but some things I don't agree at least for hard difficulty. Rushing beacon immediately to bring in more migrants aggravates your food shortage before you have a chance to stabilize production. I find going for sawmills immediately, then the hunter tech, then beacon would be more helpful because you want to jump start wood production to fulfill your first housing quest. You can't start with more than 2 labs because you only have 15 engineers, 5 of whom are in the med post. The resources from the extra lab could have been used to make another gathering post instead to keep people out of the cold and increase manpower allocation efficiency.

    No problem mate works for every scenario i'd advice to do the same with another event. There is one on the right side towards the mountians where you will find a group of survivors attack by polar bears. If you attack either nobody get's hurt or your scouts get killed. And if they carry a couple steam cores and a bunch of resources you'll be....Less then happy about it happened to me first time.

    I don't believe that rotating workshops using 24h shift is the way to go. You are essentially getting 24 research hours per day using 3 shops with people dying all the time. Engineers no less. Extended shift is much, much better. 3 shops on extended shift will give you 42 research hours per day. That's almost double. With nobody dying. Which arguably is less stressful. Sure you have to man them, but even 2 shops gives you 28 research hours/day, and if nobody's dying then that's easy. They complain, but you just keep saying no since the penalty is so tiny. Good coverage with the fight arena and decent heating is more than enough to offset the discontent. In my last play through by the end I must have had somewhere between 15 and 20 shops running on extended. That's somewhere in the range of 210 to 280 research hours per day. Later in the game completing 2-3 techs per day. Not a single engineer dead. There's no way to do that with a finicky rotating death shift scheme. I get extended shift as my second law, and I keep all my workplaces on it at all times. Child shelters are cool, but you just get that the next day. Right? It's a free and easy effective 40% efficiency gain for everything - Standard 10h work day + 4h extended. Combine silly Faith shrines and it's a flat 54% effective efficiency bonus (That's right... 14h at 110% = effective 154%). Then comes your other bonuses on top of that. EZ peasy. Reliable. Baseline. No mad clicking skills required. I never activate the 24h shift for anything. It's madness. For me it's literally just that law I have to get before I can get extended shifts. Also imho hot houses are a waste of steam cores. They're a pain to keep heated for one. Hunter hangers need no heating. And no steam cores. Just a bit of space and a few spare citizens. They scale well to whatever situation you are in. Just build, man and forget. When you consider that one hot house takes up enough space to displace 4 dwellings, and each dwelling can man a hunter hanger, and each hunger hanger can feed a few dwellings... This changes things. Frostland is full of potential citizens. The trick is getting a good place for a good warm house for them. That's where the generator comes in. There is no trick needed for finding a good place for a hunter hanger. It's just there. The crater is full of ideally cold frosty space around the edge.

    BTW I've pretty much confirmed to my own satisfaction that the extended shifts work better even on hard. It's a tricky bit until day 8-9 or so, but after that you can have a stable economy, hope and discontent using this system and do so much more research much quicker. And I still believe in my hunter hangers over hot house.

    I actually beat A New Home with only one workshop for most of the campaign. I had to get a second one around day 20 I think but what I really needed was the entire Heating page researched, needed 3 automatons to keep coal going during the storm from 3 coal mines, and just getting a time of resource depots (I didn’t do bigger depots research until the storm.. derp) and just stockpiling a crap ton of food, about 3k to 4K food got me through with over 250 people at my base. Sadly most people died I had about 200 left alive by the end of the storm but I survived with over 1k coal and 3500 food left by the time the storm ended. Everything was left at default medium difficulty Also I beat it with only one scout team and I got the beacon really late at like day 10. So yeah I just needed like 6-7 steam cores maybeeee and saved the extra people at the places nearby and that was good enough to beat all objectives before the storm came With no outposts anywhere..

    yeah. On a hard level, you won't have any stocked wood at the beginning. So you'll have to collect it first. If you don't have gathering centers your workers will become sick very soon. + you need free hands (30 out of 60 to be exact) to harvest some food - so you don't starve. And during the first day, some of your people will become sick, so you'll need one medical house. All of which makes building a workshop, let alone three workshops, at the beginning a little bit unrealistic. Oh. You'd also need to built some tents before day three, so all your workers won't die. While an expedition costs 40/40 wood and steel + the cost of the exploration beacon. Which is also not helping with the workshop-first theme. all and all great tips if you play "story mode" though.

    Rushing beacon is the first biggest Nono when playing on survival. You will hardly have enough wood to send scouts out at the start. It should be secondary after getting medical facilities first and food the second on survival. Especially how easy your people get sick and dies if left untreated. Also the hunger strikes at survival will kill you much earlier than your first scout goes out scouting.

    Personally, thing to do : -select 5 engineers, make them build the first research center. These same engineers will work on the balloon (i call it like that) right after. -rest of the people directly go to get resources. Before the first night, i d build tend and medic tent around the generator (medic,tent,tent,tent,medic) *this is very important if u try to have a 0 death run on hard difficulty. -build outpost next to the resources u want to gather but be methodical so that they don’t clutter ur district and leave some coal and iron scraps around (meaning try to get to mining them as fast as possible) the coal and iron scraps can be used in late game for emergency resources. -

    Going beacon first makes zero sense if you're going to emergency shift (which should have been activated before 1800 hours so you dont lose hours where they go to build). Go faster gathering, emergency shift during works hours, beacon when that is done. Beacon will finish just as works ends day 2, and you'll actually have enough steel to build it by then.

    People need to know this: - You can have more than 4 workshops for research. Every additional workshop increases research by 10%. Any idle engineer should be placed in a workshop and switch them to other jobs when needed. - Train your automatons to do engineering jobs when possible and set them to research. They continue research in the night. 2 should be enough if you need the rest in other places. By the end of the game you can have all the researches, even the ones you don't need.

    Workshop is not the priority, at least not on hard difficulty. You will get nothing from workshop if you don't have resources for research. The building will stay idle for most of the time, while constant research is the key (even if you start it a bit later). Wood is the priority at the beginning, so a gathering post near a pile (preferably with steel). Then (in order) shelters, medic and kitchen. In the meantime you need some steel and coal. With this basic economy running, build a workshop and set it to 24h. Prepare for the 1st death! After that, it won't happen very often, if at all. Build additional workshops ONLY if you have free engineers. FYI: Basing this on more than 50h of play time and achievements' runs.

A automatron olmoust killd a civ you have a choice of slowing them down by 10% or litle bit of discount I whould choice lilte bit of discount. Becuze that 10% amongs 9 A. is 90% of effectiveness whitch is mutch worst then some mad man screaming. Think about them as just 1 guy vs around 5421 wood / steal / coal... Just a "small" tip...

    Vocals, if you automate your coal, wood and steel production with automatons, you can send all of your workers home. they don't get sick as often if they stay at home. they get sick going to work in the final storm and you burn extra coal heating their workplaces. I finished with about 621 people at the end of my full hard play thru. I lost 45 keeping the coal mines open, even though I had 20k coal and didn't need to keep them running. steam steel works, and a couple wall drills will give all the wood and steel you need with autos on them. max out coal mines and run autos on them. most of my workforce was hunting from the sky. I also automated my cookhouse.
