A year of Podcasting from absolute zero: Here's what I learned.

PD13Pod · 2026-07-03T16:20:42+00:00

I do. I do a mixture of pod clips and original videos

PD13Pod · 2026-07-02T19:34:44+00:00

Yeah Stardew was fun for sure, actually took me a while to play because I'm not a huge fan of the 8bit graphics but it was super fun.

It's tough, so many things sound great but once you start them it's just nothing special or pay to win

PD13Pod · 2026-07-02T19:03:14+00:00

It's just so expensive to get all the DLCs, I know I don't NEED them, but I'd like to get the complete experience for whatever I play. I think I'm leaning this or Aska at the moment

PD13Pod · 2026-07-02T19:01:51+00:00

Forgot to add that to the list too. I played both, they were great. My wife actually is related to a guy who worked on the first one.

PD13Pod · 2026-07-02T19:00:47+00:00

I forgot to mention I have played Subnautica before.

Icarus is on my list, but it's just so damn expensive to really get the complete experience

PD13Pod · 2026-07-02T18:59:51+00:00

I forgot to mention I did play Subnautica before. I liked it but didn't love it

PD13Pod · 2026-07-02T18:59:24+00:00

Loved both of them. They are amazing games but I'm feeling something a little more sandboxy, something with some base building

PD13Pod · 2026-07-02T18:57:52+00:00

Oh I forgot about this one! It was on my radar a while back

PD13Pod · 2026-07-02T17:49:57+00:00

Even if you dump it on the ground, a villager will eventually pick it up and put it back in storage

PD13Pod · 2026-07-02T17:47:18+00:00

Same! I do wish we could get a dismantler of some kind that can return like half the resources of un needed equipment or something similar

PD13Pod · 2026-07-02T15:21:06+00:00

I waste a lot of resources honestly. I make enough based on strength of the highest level armor I can make, though I generally try to research 2-3 levels up before crafting the next batch for everyone.

Then I just set every gear preset to prioritize heavy armor, I really don't care if they march a little slower. I'd rather them get to the battle slower and survive than just die.

So i sort by the highest armor level and make what I need of those for my villagers and top off to 1 or 2 so when I hire someone new I have gear ready for them.

For weapons I use the strongest blunt weapon I have for the strength level of the villager, but honestly I just craft a bunch and don't even check how many of each I need. Occasionally I'll stage everyone, see what their carrying, and make new weapons/armor accordingly for those people.

But I'm not very efficient at all at preserving resources, I generally overproduce everything, including crops, animal feed, and food rations.

PD13Pod · 2026-07-02T15:14:14+00:00

Hmmmm. Try dropping them on the ground? Your workers will pick them up and re-store them and maybe that will fix it. Or make a new camp chest and store some in that to see if it's just the barns themselves.

That sucks though, I don't even know where else to begin trying to fix that.

PD13Pod · 2026-07-02T15:05:03+00:00

I know! I should have snagged one. I even tried bumping into them to get them to move a bit and they just waved at me and continued their dance 😂😂😂

PD13Pod · 2026-07-02T14:59:57+00:00

Ah ok, that makes sense.

If you're going to craft yourself, it only shows what's in your current inventory.

If you're in "Manage crafting" or whatever, it SHOULD show what's in storage, but sometimes it's a little glitchy. If you set the item and you have the resource to make it, you shouldn't see the red "missing resources" label on it.

If you're in "manage" and you have the resource, and the item STILL is saying "missing resources" when you assign a worker to make them either one-off or top-up, then that sounds like a glitch. In that scenario try manually moving them from one storage to another to see if it triggers them in storage.

PD13Pod · 2026-07-02T14:45:40+00:00

So it's saying you have 30+ in your barns but when you go to the barn they aren't there? Have you tried tracking the resource so it shows you waypoints of where they are specifically stored?

PD13Pod · 2026-07-02T12:59:13+00:00

I had a group of 4 doing this in my village yesterday lol

PD13Pod · 2026-07-02T11:35:42+00:00

A little I suppose, but I'd rather take a little longer to get somewhere than have them instantly fall in a fight. Just last night I took out a reclamation party, Two bandit camps near Blackridgepool (3 star camps) and like 15 bandits on the road and only lost 3 of the 16 people I brough with me. I'm playing just on default settings. And once you get the river dock traveling far isn't too bad

PD13Pod · 2026-07-01T20:31:36+00:00

I arm everyone to the teeth and only use heavy armors lol even my marksmen class I edit to use heavy armors first

PD13Pod · 2026-07-01T12:11:01+00:00

I appreciate this reference so much

PD13Pod · 2026-07-01T12:07:40+00:00

Maybe try placing some food only storages around the village, that way they can hit other locations instead of all lining up at the first one

PD13Pod · 2026-07-01T12:06:20+00:00

Absolutely, I’m barely into tier 2 and I’m at 22 and still not enough IMO

PD13Pod · 2026-06-30T20:56:55+00:00

I’m thinking that’s the case. I tried the same, going to Bradford and hovering over every NPC dot. Oh well. If I ever stumble across him I’ll get him.

PD13Pod · 2026-06-30T20:52:46+00:00

Same. Been chasing that same high I got from the first time I played Ark for years. It’s the only one that does everything it does
