[Guide] Efficient Building Placement

[Boombastic]

Now this a very nice guide (and comments too), helped me immensly. I still do have a question though, how do I go about placing meat/sausage production chain? And is it worth it at all to start producing sausages on lvl 21, baskets do cost quite a lot.

I use sectors 2,3 and 9 to place hunters, and about the placement, 12 seconds or 14,your choice. This is possible if you check the images and videos posted on this thread to determine where storehouses can be placed to obtain such placement. As for the butchers 10 or 12 seconds; of course these are only the ones i use, aren't really mandatory, if you cant place many buildings, you can choose 8 seconds spots, like i said, your choice. Hope it proves useful

Thanks this is really helpful but I sadly did not discover this forum until too late, I have my buildings all over the place and there does not appear to be a facility to move them once placed?

[Kess]

they said they will implement it, i hope soon enough because i have several that need moving as well

anyone found good placment for s9 ?

And just for the completeness, here is another sweet, efficient spot. There used to live someone called 'Wild Mary'?

Here is a sweet one in S9.. There is some room to experiment with different set-ups, but this one works for me.

Hey Smurft thx for your input. It is a very useful waste of time!

This is what i did


Basic setup proposal for the tutorial, based on what i did. This setup is meant to be constructed by the time when level 16 is reached.

I welcome constructive criticism and advice.



a) a sustained inflow of pine planks:

4x pine sawmill
2x pine cutter
4x pine forester

b) a sustained inflow of stone

2x stone deposit
5x mason

c) slow but regular inflow of tools

1x copper mine
1x tool maker
1x copper smelter
1x coking plant
1x pine cutter
2x pine forester


d) adequate inflow of bronze swords

1x copper mine
2x bronze smith
2x copper smelter
3x coking plant
3x pine cutter
6x pine forester

e) sustained inflow of brew

1x brewery
2x farm
2x wheat filed
1x well



d) adequate buff availability:

2x fisher
1x provisions house



e) bows (speculated)

1x bow maker
2x pine cutter
4x forester


f) bread (speculated)

1x bakery
2x farm
2x wheat field
2x mill
1x well



Watch your tools count. Do daily quests. Send out explorer to search for treasure once u mapped everything you can.

Doing it like this took me about 24hours to get to level 16, almost at 17 (need 41 more xp for 17). My buildings were "poorly" placed but near the storage . Only used main center and one storehouse. Was considering if i should use more storehouses for better efficiency...like about two more for the above setup.

Speculated means i did not spend enough time to test it.

What comes next i guess is the current setup upgrade or just letting the game run for some time so resources are accumulated for further expansion.

Game looks nice for beta version. I hope later on more "choices" and flexibility will be added.

Great tutorials thanks.

For each chain has anybody listed out which buildings should be in each time slot?

[HappyHead]

Thank you SageSmurf. Wish I had this before I jumped in with both feet. I have set up replenishment areas and then just placed wod cutters to clear the rest of the areas. Now at level 22 but game getting very slow.

Thanks again. great videos.

What a great topic! First of all I would like to thank SageSmurf for the whole idea and amazing tutorials (keep up the good work!), I would also like to thank RubendePuben for the additional layouts, and also huge thanks for TCarrcon (from german forum) for creating the grid map.

I have also let myself to make the following (hope you find them usefull):
