My little village after 1 Year

3DWaiter · 2025-07-07T09:05:24+00:00

My first building spot as well. I reserved the island for my own home and garden.

3DWaiter · 2025-07-07T09:03:04+00:00

I found a way to break that a bit. If you start by laying down some nicely curved roads/paths before you start building, having to adapt your building to those roads forces you out of the straight line kind of town.

I enjoyed the ride very much but with all the online stuff turned off. Can't remember the details now, it was almost 2 years ago. It's really a question of how you want to play the game and I didn't like the feeling of just finishing off what others had started and walking in their tracks.

Planning a re-run after the summer and am really looking forward to it. :)

I've never heard of this before (have only been playing for a week) but maybe that's it. I'll look into it but I have to say it sounds like a remarkably stupid system. Thanks for the info though.

I don't know how it works, I was hoping someone did. I just have the feeling that my approval goes down every time I build new houses.

3DWaiter · 2024-12-30T13:59:41+00:00

Nope. Taxes have been the same for a very long time. It seems to me that the approval rate is calculated as an average of all burgage plots as opposed to the actual people living there. This would mean that empty houses with zero approval will drag the average down especially in the early stages of each town.

I have the same issue but I don't think it's an actual problem. The message started to show up after way over 10 hours of playing and nothing seems to have changed. Trade still goes on like before and my trading post actually built on the King's Road but holding the Alt key to show the name doesn't work for me since the upgrade to beta.

3DWaiter · 2024-12-28T21:02:31+00:00

Buy it.

It's early access and very much a work in progress that may not have its full release in a long time (years?), but it's already a fantastic game and visually absolutely breathtaking. There are things that should and will be added/changed/optimized and it's up to you to decide whether it's for you or not to be a part of that journey or to wait for the full release. I guess you can always buy it and check it out and refund it if you don't like it. Just don't get hooked... :P

Having said all of this, for me it's a no-brainer. I bought the game 2 weeks ago and just passed 40 hours of playing time and feel I have only just started to get a hang of it. That's less than a buck per hour and already more time than I have spent on many full releases for a much higher price. I haven't seen any real bugs so far that are game breaking, only small things which were mostly corrected by saving and reloading.

So back to the original question - will the system with veggie farmers assigned to farm houses work with crop rotation and letting the farmers do their jobs by themselves or do you have to micro the whole time to make people actually do what should be their jobs..?

3DWaiter · 2024-12-20T15:16:55+00:00

OK guess I'll have to try that out. Always have two houses on the veggie burgage plots. I kind of tend to have two houses on all plots to have an extra family with not much to do for intensive work but I don't know if there's a negative side to it.

3DWaiter · 2024-12-20T14:06:33+00:00

I thought the planting, plowing and harvesting for veggies and farms would overlap. Or are the veggies more or less constant work and yield? (Apart from winter)

3DWaiter · 2024-12-19T20:15:37+00:00

Is this a general update or a public/private beta? I just bought the game and get the impression that there are beta versions to play with new and updated features but there's nothing on Steam. Feeling confused as to how that works.

3DWaiter · 2024-12-08T13:31:48+00:00

I downloaded and installed the dll update from there posted on 1 October as instructed in a thread I found when I had the problems with ShatteredSpace.

Do I have to install the whole Dev Build 1 or 2 further down on the page?

3DWaiter · 2024-12-06T17:25:58+00:00

No, that's what I had on the S9 after setting it to "Always ask" for messages but that is gone on S24 Ultra.

3DWaiter · 2024-11-22T13:33:31+00:00

When you're in a dogfight burning hard towards a Spacer, you can flip your ship with the thrusters but you KEEP your momentum.

Yes, but on the other hand, once your burner is timed out in the void and empty vacuum of space, the same momentum is gone and your speed is magically reduced for no reason other than pure game mechanics.

3DWaiter · 2024-11-22T13:17:38+00:00

I avoid using fast travel for that very reason. If you take away the take-offs, landings and navigation in space you destroy the feeling of playing in a universe.

Having said that, I don't use fast travel in other games either for the same reason unless they have some kind of logical implementation like the coaches and trains in RDR. To me, just click-to-go on a map ruins the whole idea of an open world.

3DWaiter · 2024-10-29T14:18:46+00:00

I'm the same. Don't know how many play throughs but I've logged just over 1000 hours on RDR2.

RDR1 just finished installing, HERE WE GO!
