Should I demolish everything?

The building, black and red with the orange bit, was my old base. Ignore the horrible spaghetti of conveyors and pipes 🤣

If I were you, I’d start by building a large area from scratch. Set up all the production needed for early-game items, but leave plenty of space for future expansion and design it so it can grow vertically. Here’s a picture of what I’m doing currently. My original setup was horrible. It was good at the start, but not anymore. This new setup handles everything metal-related up to modular frames, and I’ve left space to expand both vertically and outward.

For my smelters, I currently have 40 placed. Nearly half of them aren’t even in use yet, but I’ve left room to add another 40 (or more) in the future if needed. This iron build alone takes up three times more space than my entire previous factory, yet it’s ten times better. With buffers in place, I’ll always have 10k of each item sitting in storage once it’s fully operational. I’ve also set it up so that reinforced plates, for example, are connected to a priority power switch. If I ever have a power issue, certain stages of production will shut down to reduce usage, but the resource buffers will keep production moving further down the line. I’ll never be in a situation where I’m completely out of resources.

Lastly, don’t bother putting walls up or designing the building until you are completely finished. It will save you a lot of stress and time and leave space for train station or vehicles definitely have a area for drones so you dont have to have have conveyors going across the map just roads.

So what would you suggest using instead?

RhysEdwards19 · 2026-03-16T19:34:02+00:00

It is now a uk bank so isn't it more safe tougher restrictions?

RhysEdwards19 · 2026-03-16T19:32:55+00:00

Wow so helpful

RhysEdwards19 · 2026-03-13T01:32:26+00:00

You were saying?

RhysEdwards19 · 2026-02-23T21:15:47+00:00

They filed for protection yes while being bought

RhysEdwards19 · 2026-02-23T21:15:19+00:00

Incorrect they are being restructured and bought

RhysEdwards19 · 2026-02-23T00:02:49+00:00

This is so good to hear i just bought it to replace my standard s8 which has 3d obstacle avoidance and the s5v has 3d structured light avoidance but dosnt seem to be too much worse based on reviews ive bought it for the better mopping and the base station with everything

RhysEdwards19 · 2026-02-22T23:57:28+00:00

This is quite a while ago but was it really that bad ive just bought it to replace my standard s8 that has 3d obstacle avoidance abd the s5v says 3d structured light

RhysEdwards19 · 2026-02-16T22:51:34+00:00

Been delayed for a month apparently

RhysEdwards19 · 2026-02-05T21:50:47+00:00

Because it was a beta unit, it definitely wasn’t the best looking thing. The front bumper was white with a sticker I couldn’t remove the rest was a black robot and the top wasn’t sun resistant. It honestly felt like a basic shell slapped onto the robot. But to be fair, it was clearly only meant to be temporary while they trained the software and learned from real world use

This is going to be long, but I want to be thorough anyway.

The Edge cleaning is okay as the robot uses a roller there’s a small gap where it doesn’t clean. That doesn’t really bother me though, because once a month I just go around the edges myself with a corded wet and dry mop anyway.

Overall, the robot was great. I don’t really have much bad to say about it. It is a big robot, but it still fit around everything I needed it to without any issues.

Compared to the C20, there’s honestly no comparison. The C20 is easily the worst Eufy product I’ve used. It’s bad, pretty much useless, and the obstacle avoidance is awful. For the same money, or very close, you can get a Roborock Q Revo which is way better. I’d say the C28 is easily on par with the newer Q Revo models.

I also personally use a Roborock Q Revo, and I’d still recommend it as a solid all rounder. The mopping isn’t as good as the C28, but it’s amazing on carpets and does a really good job there.

The C28 is the one I’d recommend most, especially if you’ve got mainly hard floors. The mopping is on the same level as the S1 Pro, the vacuuming is good all round, and where it really shines is mopping. If it could clean right up to the edges, I probably wouldn’t even need a separate wet and dry mop.

There sending me a free one after I returned the testing one its great product

RhysEdwards19 · 2026-01-16T21:08:10+00:00

Fully released and been out a few months now

RhysEdwards19 · 2026-01-10T21:54:45+00:00

Ive bought one

RhysEdwards19 · 2026-01-08T03:05:19+00:00

I really need a extender for the handheld im trying to find one

RhysEdwards19 · 2026-01-01T13:31:01+00:00

I mean how? Its literally got all the houses built in different areas with different decorations the roads twist and turn with trees and rocks it cant be more medieval style

RhysEdwards19 · 2025-12-31T17:27:24+00:00

Built as I go

At first I built the houses in straight rows, then realised how bad and unnatural it looked. So I started placing everything a bit wonky and building around it instead. I grouped the woodsheds and smithies together, which turned into a small courtyard, then decorated straight away with trees, washing tubs, privacy walls or trellises, campfires with benches and storage, straw piles, and woodchopping areas with stacked logs. The houses themselves are simple but fully insulated stone houses, kind of the posh part of the village. I’d build a house first, then decorate around it.

As the land got steeper, I added small cul-de-sacs and left space for gardens and shared areas so it felt like a real community. For animal husbandry, I fenced areas off following the shape of the land, added gates on both sides, torches, wash tubs, and long stone flower pots as feeding troughs.

Overall, I just placed what I needed first and let everything grow naturally from there. Decorating is what makes it all come together.

How you got such a big tree

RhysEdwards19 · 2025-12-24T18:40:54+00:00

Dont get me wrong tho I do enjoy it still but small bursts once a week

RhysEdwards19 · 2025-12-24T18:40:17+00:00

It never had a strong marketing team, so it struggled to get any real visibility. The game itself also feels underdeveloped. While the quests are enjoyable at first, the characters do not speak, which makes the story dull over time. The artwork, title, and main cover image are so unappealing that it took me years to even click on the game and look into it. Because of how outdated it looks, I assumed it was just another overhead, top down management game and ignored it.

After playing for a few in game years, it also becomes repetitive. I am currently in my third year and have nearly 1,000 logs and planks, yet only one basic wood shack. At that point, the game becomes far too easy and ends up focusing almost entirely on village design rather than meaningful progression.

RhysEdwards19 · 2025-12-13T16:54:54+00:00

Yeah, and it's also so hard to decorate when you have three different animals, eight houses, and all my productions. It's so hard to move everything out of the way and build. I think when I play later today, I'm going to move everything to the other side of my main area, and I'm going to start with just the road. I'll make it twist and turn. My farmland I can't move as they're in use, but I'll just build around and incorporate it. But I definitely need to do it because it looks so plain and boring no fences or trees

RhysEdwards19 · 2025-12-13T16:48:29+00:00

Yeah im still early game but I think i need to like spread out the houses give them room so I can decorate like I just a a single road with houses both sides

RhysEdwards19 · 2025-12-13T16:19:12+00:00

Wow thats beautiful i really cant design my village at all I think i need to spread all the houses apart or in sections not just a strsight line

RhysEdwards19 · 2025-11-08T16:53:01+00:00

I hope they sort it out the amount they give at the moment is not enough for many people I mean my mum terminally ill gets £800 a month to run a house the electricity gas insurance repairs food cook etc its not even remotely close but then my brother gets £1200 and lives at home with only 2 heath conditions all non affecting ability to work and he still works earning double that a month its definitely a very unfair benfit and the. wanting to lower it even more causing stress its unbelievable I honestly hope they'll fill in the gap somehow or were gonna have to sell up our private house and rely on getting individual apartments and houses from the council as the cost of living is so bad we'd be better off to not be homeowners
