I now have around 1,8k hours lol
Really great content here! Your voice and that sarcastic sense of humor reminds me the Wheatley (that NPC from Portal 2)
12:00 you could have just demolished and rotated the farmhouse and then you would have had room for a medium warehouse.
i think i started playing pve couse of u
27:00 Why overhangs for the central part of the water course, and platforms for the edges with levees? Why not overhangs for the levees too?
Verticality is a word borrowed from Satisfactory. It's keeping the 3D nature of the world in mind when building. Don't stay on the ground (2D), but also build up in layers (vertically) and having multiple floors in the factory.
4:00 There looks to be a path nearby that you could have extended to reach a triple lodge. They have subtly changed the windmills in that you can now place them on the new vertical power shafts. You can't hang Gravity Batteries off the edge of the world, that would be too easy. But there's that housing with a gap at the back which would be perfect to drop three Gravity Batteries down. 23:00 Had you put all the showers parallel you could have fitted seven in total. You've already built enough aqueduct to slightly increase the amount of farmland below. Both the showers and bread provide well-being but I believe bread provides more well-being than showers. The natural overhangs do claim to be impermeable, in fact I believe you can see it in action with the badwater. Still wondering whether that Observatory will ever happen...
Above the fireplace to the right where the plants are, they can chew down, and you could put an over-hang facing towards the three other over hangs the other way. You could also just make one single levee the lowest priority now so there's always a gap until the end.
P.s. I would cry watching batteries at lodges omg. Although, think of the character. God bless 🙂 . .
You have a huge excess of wood, switch to the log fueled power generators
Wrong faction.
It is lovely to watch your games/vids, but you are the worst city planer😅
truth
Progress has been made.
Doing good so far.
Nice one.
Going strong.
Well played.
That is worth a thumbs up.
There are spiral staircases and the ladder mod has been updated.
You don't need sluices because you don't have badtides, but for those people that do, they can be set to automatically open or close depending on the contamination level. Their other use is to keep a lake topped up at a lower level than the river feeding it (useful if you want to use the lake for aquatic farming). Slightly disappointed that you never got around to building that observatory. You do have the metal for it but it's also possible to avoid using impermeable floors by building your overhangs a level lower and surfacing them with levees. I'm not quite sure I understood what you were saying about badtides, but supposing you already have a sluice system in place then from the point of view of your fresh water a badtide is like a drought where the badwater source keeps flowing.
If someone is in this situation wants more water storage, they should build dams in the double deep part of the river, that is much more storage than a medium tank.
Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm ignorant, but this just seems like EVE with a cockpit view.
I've never played Eve, but I suspect it has better gameplay than Elite.
Tolakram, love the emphasis of placing building on dry land, but placing a farmhouse (2x3) six spaces away from the center on dry land and requiring six path (1x1s) is not a win. Same for other buildings.
I'll add another path, good point. :D
@@Tolakram it also seemed obvious to me, you can put the farm on the river with a path crossing the river in front of it to maximize range of planting, you might be able to cover that whole valley with one farm, and if you need two, you can put the second one facing the first.
It’s been like 4 episodes since you spent science points to unlock double houses and you’ve spent a good portion of every episode since trying to squeeze extra stairs into your residential complex 😂
There is a steam workshop now, and there is a stairs mod with the spiral stairs 😉
Thanks. Mods are not officially supported yet, though the devs do keep a list. Mods are on mod.io, not Steam, similar to Foundation. I won't be doing mods mods while in experimental.
Last episode you discovered the 2×3 spiral staircase. This episode, you've already forgotten. Such is the life of a content creator I guess. Goods are now automatically transferred between districts if there is storage on both sides. Food and water doesn't even need that by default, but you'll want it for large districts anyway.
I'm not a content creator, and I record in batches, I'm at the end of the last batch. :)
@@Tolakram You created the content I was watching, which is good enough for me.
5:00 There's a mod called "HousingOptimize", I don't know if it'll work for Update 6 though.
30:45 "Berry" carefully?
Love the videos dude. Your pathing and platforms are hilarious!
Great vid man, get a new house for ya little beeves init.
I see You have some hardships with verticality. May I share with You an old structure/strategy for this game? Build a 3-lane road (to make it look perfectly symmetrical). In the middle lane build stairs. On top of this 3-lane road build platforms - You now have a good looking, clean, symmetrical, *INFINITELY* stackable 3D platform road up. You now can easily connect stacked buildings to this 3-lane road - towers and towers of stacked housing and storage. Bot part factories too. Have fun!
The unnecessarily convoluted staircases have become a recurring joke in the series.
It is funny. When not recording they don't seem that hard, but during recording, impossible logic.
@@Tolakramcould you have possibly built paths and stairs on the storage warehouse and small storage container next to the district center? There's already stairs. Less funny though, I agree.
In previous versions having a water wheel layout that didn't match the width of the channel didn't work too well; I wonder whether the latest water physics improves that. Personally I would be tempted to reduce the channel to two wide all the way down including over the (currently) missing aqueduct. Your dam increased the hydration to the left forest except during droughts but it's where all of your log storage is. Once you have haulers you can put food storage around your district but there isn't a good way of housing your beavers near their workplaces. Another benefit of the hauling post is that you can set it to minimum workplace priority so that it will eat the population fluctuations. I believe the water pump depth setting was added in the previous update.
@6:26 missed an opportunity to use the existing platform in front of the medium warehouse for your steps up, but you also wanted to start getting rid of carrots anyway so :D
i always get bored playing a game for so long well done keeps up with the work
You can use the 🚫 marker in the crop planting menu to stop them from replanting. It won’t make them remove the crop while it’s growing but once it’s done they will harvest it and not replant.
2:15 You got lucky and a farmer decided to harvest those carrots anyway. (Had you been less impatient you could unmark the crops for planting and wait for it to be harvested rather than trying to "levitate" it.) 9:55 No, you only need 20 gears, so you're just the one short. Water wheels have variable power depending on the flow of the current (cms). If you set a platform at high priority the game will now also set the platforms under it to high priority. (It previously used to set the platforms above it to high priority.) The potato storage isn't automatically displayed in the food menu because they need to be cooked first but also I don't think you have any storage for raw potatoes yet. (The grill actually has a lot of storage for its produce.) You are right that since your beavers were originally at at least +7 well-being (+20% life expectancy), when they got hungry it reduced their lifespan again. When this happens a beaver will die of old age rather than hunger. Now that you've removed that berry warehouse you could also delete the path to it and plant potatoes there.
The floodgates can be adjusted to a minute level now, the dams should be replaced with floodgates it'll save more water.
Another content creator I watch has problems with flooding if they set their floodgates much above 0.75 which sadly rather defeats the object. Hopefully it depends on the strength of the water source compared to the width of the channel, so it might still work here.
Carrots are almost worthless, grill your potatoes and grow almost all potatoes. It's much more efficient on the land use.
@10:10 Pause the game, place the dams and then assign priorities to each one. Highest priority to the ones at the far end of course. Then the beavers "shouldn't" get stranded and/or build the wrong dams first.
The overhangs are indeed new, yes. They let you build above buildings that aren't solid. They also let you build flashier aqueducts, assuming you can spare the metal. If you want to go even flashier, use impermeable floors instead of levees (you still need levees for the sides though as there are no impermeable walls). You missed a whole three trees from your cutting area. You can actually build a spiral staircase in a 2×3 rectangle; just remember to keep the stairs in the middle on each side. You will need to connect at alternate ends of the staircase on alternate levels though. I may have misremembered but I think Folktails do use berries to make medicine. If you do try to build a badwater aqueduct, you can still avoid needing medicine by only building during droughts (delete the path ten steps away to stop them building).
So happy to hear that you are in the super secret foundation!
Can You explain Your logic with optimizing farming for harvest? To me It seems very detrimental.
Logic?
@@Tolakram The thinking, the reasoning for Your decision. I am convinced the harvest prioritization is better only when you know the crops will die anyway.
@@jonathanozik5442 It was a bit of a joke. I use logic in the real world, not much for games. :) Anyway I think I ran into the issue you talk about here which might be avoided if they are on planting.
Loving seeing the Beaves again! You need a 2x3 space for the spiral stairs, with the stairs up alternating on the long sides, and then you need to be able to exit into your housing stack on both sides. Squishing it into the corner like you have means you can only exit on one side. I think.
Where the stairs are for the housing block. Why didn't you put some extra houses in where the platforms are (former farm site) at ground and first floor level. Then turn the rooftop into a 2x3 stairwell for the remaining houses. If you choose to move the rooftop terrace, consider putting that over the other houses, so you get the full 5 set from the original housing
I'm currently playing this map it's really fun
I think it's more efficient to just leave your farms on planting priority. They'll still harvest all of your crops in between planting if that's what you're worried about. Otherwise, unless your control is perfect, you'll end up with tons of down time on your farms while you're waiting for them to grow.
That staircase is so needlessly complicated. You could've just placed the stairs in that 1x1 space. You even had it highlighted there at one point!
This man has yet to learn about the new spiral staircases.
DO NOT TEASE ME. I will look, lol.
Spiral stairs are an iron tails only item
Use Levies around the left side of the river to raise it to the level on the other side, then levy/ dam up by the water container to create a 2 level deep part of the river. Also you should've used the space behind the houses with platforms and pushed the houses back to create more space infront.
Rather than micromanaging them, you can usually leave farms prioritised for planting. (The exception would be in hard mode if you were expecting to lose hydration in which case you wouldn't want to waste time planting.) Speaking of hydration, if you use double floodgates or levees and dams to raise the level in the earlier part of the river you may find that more of the land becomes hydrated. Note that floodgates now move in increments of 0.05 meaning that even single floodgates can store 25% more water than dams. You can build an extra lodge on top of the first lodge but facing the other way. Or once you have the science you could just build double lodges facing the other way. (Two single lodges costs 20% more than a double lodge.) When you only have one construction project its priority makes no difference. (Your dam got built quickly because you had planned ahead to already have all the materials you needed.) You can use levees for the floor as well as the side of an aqueduct. (You can now place them on platforms.) Impermeable floors do save on vertical space of course. The agora is basically a renamed temple but you need haulers to haul extract to it. (And extract in the first place!) But the contemplation spot is just the shrine's new name.
Welcome back to the main channel! Been really enjoying the Planet Crafter series on the other channel, but seeing you and your casual disregard for the beavers' well being makes me very happy! I also hope you're being serious about Foundation, it's what brought me to your channel
Finish the aqueduct that's half built for the badwater.
Need to divert badtide over the side of map. Work on levees & dams up high. Water will become badwater.
Didn't he turn that off?
