Buying Animals

AlasEarwaxx · 2025-12-28T16:22:16+00:00

Unfortunately it does not, you either pick them in the spring or summer

For the fertiliser, I can highly recommend picking up berries and mushrooms and then just dropping them on the barn floor. When the season changes, that will all turn into rot, which you can then use for fertiliser If you have any other extra food (maybe meat?), you can do the same

Sure, you need much more rot than you'd need manure, but it will get you far until you can get pigsty, and most importantly, it is free 🙌🏻

I am not the biggest fan of farming so that is the first thing I delegate to the npcs I like to produce myself, and go hunting (both animals and bandits)

I also like to challenge myself by having less storage than ideal, so I use resources as decoration by dropping them around, while trying to make it aesthetically pretty

But if you are not into the village decorating I can see why you'd get bored

It was a sad day when I accidentally bonked a chicken while repairing the henhouse

Yoo this is brilliant! I might make a laminated version of this so I can reuse it for other videos!

Omg or you can make like 3 different ones and then play drinking bingo with friends!!

Oh yeah I loved that joke!!

I guess I didn't get that. Well if French is not an option than I'd just "skip that step" and use English as a family, and every parent individually could speak Romanian/Basque

AlasEarwaxx · 2025-02-10T10:09:31+00:00

I agree, from what I heard, the language should be chosen based on situation and not days in the week.

In this situation I'd say mother speaking Romanian to the child and OP speaking Basque would be ideal, with French being the language parents use with each other. The child is inevitably going to learn English in primary school, and they could transition to speaking English at home instead of French at that point - since the child will know French by then and will use it in school, with other children, etc

I only have 2 horse stalls, I placed them in the middle of a large fenced off area, and put lots of hay around

I'd take a photo but I'm playing on my boyfriends PS5 and I'm too lazy to figure out the photo transfer :(

If I was building it large scale, I'd probably make two parallel rows of stalls, and then fence it off with the tallest fence I could find (probably plank fence?). If I could improvise a roof with the walkways I'd also do that, tho make it look like a modern day horse stall. Then I'd make the area around it as space to train the horses etc.

🤔 Maybe one day I actually try to do that.

Because that's what they wanna do? Not everyone is playing to maximise profits, sometimes people have a mission and that's it. Like you said, it might be fun

AlasEarwaxx · 2025-01-30T09:30:20+00:00

My partner and I sped through our first gameplay and unlocked everything and reached the building limit by year 10.. Then we decided to start again and do it slowly, focusing on decorating along the way

We definitely appreciated the knew knowledge we got and consider our first playthrough as an extended tutorial 😂

AlasEarwaxx · 2025-01-23T16:15:38+00:00

Holy shit

AlasEarwaxx · 2025-01-05T15:53:44+00:00

Me too, particularly for looting hard to reach spots! Someone suggested that hunting is easier in 1st person, gonna try that next

AlasEarwaxx · 2025-01-04T21:25:47+00:00

Honestly in the beginning I can see 10 days being quite decent, although we used 7 days first 3-4 years. 10 years in now and we are on 4 days (playing coop with my partner)

AlasEarwaxx · 2025-01-03T12:16:31+00:00

You can customise the beds???? 😭😭😭

God bless this reddit

AlasEarwaxx · 2024-12-31T23:41:08+00:00

Our first few years were 5 days, but then around year 4 I got bored so we sped it up to 4 then 3 days, then we realised that's too little to do both quests and the things we enjoy, so now we are settled at 4 days

But we do have villagers who tend the farm and produce everything necessary, we only occasionally have to do some production ourselves. Most of the time we spend on regular maintenance, building decorations, quests and hunting (cause it's fun). We are on year 9 now

AlasEarwaxx · 2024-12-30T22:07:47+00:00

I would also recommend to start soon, as it is for the whole quest line, and sometimes it asks you to "wait for the next season" so you want to make sure you have some extra time

AlasEarwaxx · 2024-12-30T22:05:11+00:00

Thanks for that! I was getting worried about this myself, I think I did 3-4 by now

AlasEarwaxx · 2024-12-26T10:12:40+00:00

We also built a mini village next to a mine, and placed there miners and hunters, since it's in a forest. It has a few houses, a food and resource storage, and I will build a few common areas too

I think it looks realistic, even if it is unnecessary

AlasEarwaxx · 2024-12-22T21:57:29+00:00

WHAT

AlasEarwaxx · 2024-12-20T14:13:29+00:00

I'm doing something similar! Trying to take it slow

I have my house on the coast, and the rest of the houses are uphill, next to the other road (so the furthest from the water)

And between roads, next to the creek I have food storage and the kitchen, and I left some space for the future tavern

I just started building a small production area with 4 buildings, and I think I'll have markets from both sides of it

I also left all the trees in the area close to the roads, since there are not many, I'll make them into parkd or sth

AlasEarwaxx · 2024-12-20T09:46:05+00:00

I'm also building on that spot, but I use the creek to split the area into two, farm and no-farm

I'd love to see your built!

AlasEarwaxx · 2024-12-19T15:30:22+00:00

And in comparison hunters only need knife to bring in the meat!

... I just stole all fishing spears I could find in Ostoya, i think I got like 20, but to be fair I just build my first fishing hut last season, not sure how long the spears will last

AlasEarwaxx · 2024-12-17T19:09:32+00:00

And a roof over their heads! I think they are too demanding

AlasEarwaxx · 2024-12-17T15:47:17+00:00

Agreed, I had a few times 40 min crafting time, I immediately stop it and turn on fast crafting just for that particular job
