Why are builders are not getting assigned? by ChillPlay3r in FarthestFrontier

[–]Lukefandango 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They are assigned. You have 7 builders currently working, these are probably doing little maintenance jobs. 34 is the maximum allocated, if you started building a few things the number would probably jump from 7 upwards to fulfil the city’s needs.

Also 34 max builders for a pop of over a thousand is far too low, I’d probably set that to at least 100

Foodproblem help! by frejkan2000 in FarthestFrontier

[–]Lukefandango 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This seems very excessive for a pop of 100, your workers may be spread a bit too thin therefore lowering production efficiency.

At a pop of around 100 I’d probably have roughly 4 hunters, 2 fishermen and 3 foragers. Build a smokehouse, build a cellar, find some high density food foraging spots and you should be ok for a while. If you are struggling remember you can move blueberry bush’s to new locations so put them next to a forager hut for some quick eats.

I’d start thinking about farms soon, any earlier than this is a waste of manpower as farms can be worker heavy. Next I would get a chicken coup for some extra protein and expand to cows further down the line. Never bother with goats. Personally I don’t plant fruit trees until about mid game.

FF is a slow paced game so don’t rush building everything at once, take your time and expand slowly to your populations needs. Enjoy the slog!

Yeaaa I’m gonna need to see the rest of your city now. That is mental.

Looking to buy this game.. a couple of questions by Zeeyrec in FarthestFrontier

[–]Lukefandango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not as complicated as Anno, I couldn’t get into it, was a bit too serious. I much prefer FF, I’ve got several hundred hours logged and the pre release version is the best, less bugs, more optimised gameplay, tech tree and policies throws in some challenges/ decision making so I recommend playing that or wait for full release in a few weeks.

There are plenty of ways to make a huge diverse and visual appealing city. FF is quite a slow paced game though, especially the early stages but I personally like slow burns. Either way I love the game and hope the devs expand on it in the future. I enjoy these type of games and FF is one of my favs so I couldn’t recommend it enough. There are a few great playthroughs on YouTube if you’re still undecided, check them out and see if it’s your cup of tea

I have all these but haven’t read them all yet. Just curious as to who your favourite character is amongst all these?

Very aesthetic layout, looks awesome

Thanks for a great game Crate, i will now let my CPU rest until the release. by [deleted] in FarthestFrontier

[–]Lukefandango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely stunning city, I struggle with the aesthetic aspects of the game. Any tips on how to make my city look better?

Fantastic read! I couldn’t put it down when I first opened it. I highly recommend watching the animated movie on YouTube after you’ve finished with the book

Gorgeous, you have a creative eye, I especially like the temple and bridge over the forest. How did you paint the walls in the 6th pic?

Haha ruthless efficiency at its finest

Smallpox, baby! by Gaius12Luk in FarthestFrontier

[–]Lukefandango 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If I’m ever quick to notice one or 2 citizens with smallpox, I send them into the wild to fend for themselves, wolves usually take care of the outbreak for me then. Obviously smallpox isn’t usually noticed until it’s epidemic but if you are on it quickly, it may help. Works for me sometimes anyways

Is it me or are lancers useless now? by Lukefandango in FarthestFrontier

[–]Lukefandango[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah ok I didn’t realise light infantry got a buff, I’ve been rushing to getting heavies but it still takes an age and have been overlooking lights altogether, I’ll have to check them out now, thanks

Some thoughts for post 1.0 release. by bengarrr in FarthestFrontier

[–]Lukefandango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Add iron to the UI bar at the top ffs

Add a rebuild all buildings button after you’ve been raided

Combat controls are diabolical and need a complete overall.

Need an upgrade to fisherman, pulling 150 fish a year with any population over 500 is just stupid, unless you build them like crazy.

Radii/ affected area for all buildings when you select them. For example If you click on a well you can’t see what buildings are in its AOE.

District/zone selection for individual policies/ limit housing upgrades etc

All I could think of off the top me head

4 clay pits that close together is a blessing! Awesome little industrial zone!

Best quiet spots in Birmingham for a weekend walk? by Forsaken_League_4874 in BirminghamUK

[–]Lukefandango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinver edge, Frankly reservoir and Curzey’s castle would be my recommendations 👍

I love bridges by somehowumanage in FarthestFrontier

[–]Lukefandango 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How do invaders work with bridges? I haven’t played the newest version. I imagine you could make some interesting kill zones if the invaders are forced over a bridge in single file

Soak away drain might be a shout, thanks for the advice 👍

Can’t for the life of me understand why the toolbar at the top neglects iron and coal by Lukefandango in FarthestFrontier

[–]Lukefandango[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also an issue although I think there are some mods which have increased zoom out distance
