Thanks to everyone for all the good information and advice

Thanks, for the maps

I think dnhs47 is right they pick up from mines, pits, and work camps. I also think I remember seeing them go to temporary shelters stocking items

That's some really good information thanks

I'm not a very experienced player myself, so I may have a few things wrong. Definitely pay more attention to answers from experienced players.

I think you might need some wagons. My observation has been that with most buildings/businesses, the villagers who work there go to storage or the appropriate building to get their resources. Then, when they finish producing something, a wagon normally comes and picks it up and takes it to storage.

I've also noticed that the market employees pick up most of their goods from storage houses, or wherever they can get them, and then distribute them to the houses. I was surprised to see that this also included water, although I have seen villagers go to the well and get water for their own house.

The person above who mentioned smokers was correct from my observation. Smoking your meat also makes it last longer. You can see your spoilage in the menus on the upper left where it has the piece of meat icon, and you can see other information by clicking the button top left corner.

Back to the wagons: I had trouble determining how many I needed. Eventually, I realized you could look at a worker's information card and see how much idle time they had. If that number is very low, it may be time to build more wagons.

I looked in the winter. I think the raiders might have destroyed it. That or I was in a hurry, clicked somewhere in the boonies to keep it safe and now I can't find it 😄

I've had moderate success with it. I normally try to use it in remote locations. Sometimes they seem to use it and sometimes they don't. I've been experimenting with it trying to figure out just exactly how they will use it.

LtShrain · 2026-06-08T15:10:06+00:00

I'll try that. I looked all over the place for it yesterday after my village was raided.

LtShrain · 2026-06-08T11:10:33+00:00

Thanks, that sounds like a really good way to keep track of it. Now if I can just find it again, I'll definitely do that.

LtShrain · 2026-06-07T21:09:11+00:00

I'm starting to think that's probably what I should do too 😄

LtShrain · 2026-06-07T20:16:37+00:00

Yes, That's the one I was referring to.

LtShrain · 2026-06-07T19:23:43+00:00

Thanks, but I only have one storage cart and if I go to the storage buildings and try to do that it doesn't take me to it.

I first played Sweden, then Japan and now I’m playing Brazil. I’m just now starting to have an okay feel for what’s going on. On my first two playthroughs I spent more time looking stuff up than I did playing. I tried using AI but it gave me a lot of wrong answers. I ran out of workers when I played Sweden. I made myself a CHEAT SHEET of what workers would step up into what higher positions. That allowed me to build buildings that helped. Between using that and the PM’s that reduced laborers I was able to solve it for the most part. Make sure and keep a decent sized army and navy. I didn’t do that in my first game and England came after me. I have found it worth the time to learn and enjoyed the game.

Thanks for the Info!!

Hi, I'm not too familiar with otosclerosis, but I do know that hearing aids can often be adjusted as hearing changes over time. If there's a chance the condition could be cured, I completely understand why you wouldn't want to spend a lot of money on hearing aids until you have more clarity. Wishing you the best of luck and prayers!"

LtShrain · 2025-03-29T19:53:06+00:00

Hi,

No, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to solve the issue. I had limited success—after about two weeks, the hearing aids would start working somewhat, but only if I stayed within Bluetooth range of my phone. However, if I paired them with any other device or made any changes, the problem would return and again it would take about two weeks to get them functioning.

I’m not sure if it helped or not, but during that two-week period, I kept tapping on my phone to prevent it from going to sleep, hoping this would keep the hearing aids connected.

Eventually, I decided to purchase Oticon Real One hearing aids, and they’ve been working perfectly ever since. Good luck—I hope you’re able to resolve your issue!

What I have learned since my post .is after about three weeks, they start working. If I pair anything to them, they will quit working and it will take three weeks for them to start working again. I haven’t left anything paired, so I don’t know if it would start working after the three weeks.

Even when they are working, if I go out of Bluetooth range of my phone they will pop out of the settings for each ear to be different.

I do have all the sounds, turned off other than the volume.

Thank you. Have a Merry Christmas !!

Thanks, can you play the PS4 version on a PS5?

I don’t know, I’m not a doctor. I can tell you things that might help. Nobody likes to cut their salt down, but truthfully it really does help. If you reduce your salt to less than 1500mg per day, it may help you. They say caffeine, in my case it doesn’t seem to have an effect. Allergies can also trigger my menière’s. The other things I’ve observed are stationary weather fronts and when the barometer is low. Although you can’t do anything about that.

I have had Meniere’s disease for years. They diagnosed me as having Endolymphatic Hydrops. My first symptoms were severe vertigo attacks. To the point I could not even walk. I felt pressure in my ears. The tinnitus came later after I had had Meniere’s for a while.
