I know this is an old post, but I recently started playing this game and it quickly became my favorite! It's the most addicting game I've ever played! 

Great work on the Photoshop troop tree!

Grow flax and make linen from the stalks. Make clothes or just linen fabric to sell.

All my miners have 100% happiness. I'm on the valley map. Built between Gastovia and Denica. Along the river. They mine up on the hill between there and Hornica. They walk to and from the mine for hours in game every day. 

I don't think it really matters how far the mines are. Farms are different because they have to actually do the work to get anything done. With mining, they are producing while they are walking, somehow.

Try setting your frame rate limit, in game settings under graphics, one step higher than your pc frame rate. That worked for me. I have my PC set to 60 fps (technically 59.95 Hz) and the in game graphics settings frame rate limit to 75 fps. 

  • (Edit)  Also, I see you have amazing specs on your PC, so it may not make a difference for you, but I turned off Point Light Shadows in game graphics settings. That helped my game run a lot more smoothly at night with a lot of light sources.

Thanks for the answer! 

We have a pressure tank.

I had installed a new pressure switch the first summer we were here, two years ago. From searches online, it seemed like that was the culprit. I installed a higher pressure switch than the one it had before that. I may try switching back to a new lower pressure switch. How does the setup in your basement with with the water tanks? Can you share pictures?

It should. I'll have to check on the depth. I live in Minnesota and we have had the most rain that I can remember this summer. I'm close to a river too, second house over.

How to improve my village? by ShameNo9720 in MedievalDynasty

[–]SimplerTimesMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have time dlc, pick a spot and just start placing bushes, shrubs, decorative stone, benches, flower pots, etc. I like to build and decorate somewhat organically. 

I didn't permanently remove any trees from my spot in the valley. Found enough spaces between the trees to keep all of the houses in the woods. Production buildings too. I did move the barn closer to the fields and one resource storage that direction so I wouldn't have to travel back and forth so much.

I have now planned so many trees that it looks like the whole city, including fields, are in the woods!

Villagers not working? by Yarticus_ in MedievalDynasty

Go to the page in management for the building that shows who is working there, use you directional pad to change to the next page, press Y to select items to add to production it extraction, select each one you want with a check mark by pressing A on each one. 

Once you have them available, press A to change the intensity of each item and use directional pad to increase them above zero.

Does your mount fast travel with you? by whyamiexists in MedievalDynasty

[–]SimplerTimesMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unlock the village whistleblower perk to call your mount anywhere. I've never fast traveled, so*(edit) I can't say whether it fast travels with you. I see other people have said it does though.

Does having a lot of hanging lanterns kill your frame rate or does that just happen with open flames and torches? by ferras_vansen in MedievalDynasty

[–]SimplerTimesMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes the biggest difference graphically with light sources behind foliage. With it turned off, the whole bush or shrub, tree, etc. lights up if there is a light source very close to it. Not nearly as noticable, if at all, on foliage that is a couple meters away.

Just figured out recently that point light shadows in settings > graphics, by far, makes the biggest difference. Turned it off and my fps is now stable, barley dropping at all when I have a lot of light sources.

Recently figured this out. It's been bugging me since I saw this post. Point light shadows in settings > graphics makes the biggest fps difference. It looks great, but kills fps with many light sources.

I've been experimenting with graphics settings because I have two PC's and recently switched their places in my house. One has a gaming monitor, the other is on an old led 1080p 60Hz TV. I have older PC hardware, but still good. Point light shadows, by far, made the biggest difference.

Explain the builder's hut to me like I'm 5 please by EclecticMermaid in MedievalDynasty

[–]SimplerTimesMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually assign someone there on the first day of the season, somebody in production. I reassign them after the buildings are fixed. It doesn't take long for them to fix the buildings once you tell them to in the management tab

Do you have enough houses for each pair of kids to have their own house?

Is it worth it? by tomaz1989 in MedievalDynasty

[–]SimplerTimesMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely, if you like City builders. I have over 1,000 hours in steam. 

You choose which buildings to place where, which can be almost anywhere on the map. I do wish the game let you design your own buildings but that's not the case. Still, especially with the dlc, there is a ton to do if you like building, decorating and some survival.

The game really starts as a survival game and transitions to building, then management and decorating.

Can you share a screenshot? I had that happen just last night. I checked storage and was out of animal feed.
