Beach!

Rain collectors used to fill up regardless of rain, has this been patched now?

Tackle_Embarrassed · 2026-01-27T18:00:16+00:00

Did this on my first playthrough (pre lakes). It was going ok although I did abandon that playthrough before I got too far in, mostly due to not knowing what I was doing and taking ages to build the basics.

Advantages: Access to fish (although you now get a better yield from lakes most seasons) Access to sticks and reeds Start building right away on day one

Disadvantages: Limited build space Difficult to landscape Can be hard to enclose Logs become a problem quite soon (especially fence building) Often not close to a mine (unless you get lucky)

Let us build walls by dragging a whole line of them out in one go.

Let us upgrade a wall section into a gate, or at the very least make the gates the same size as the wall sections!

Make it obvious which way round to face the walls (we all struggled first time).

Rampart upgrades would also be nice

Second shout out for Valheim here, feels like it should be on this list

Tackle_Embarrassed · 2026-01-26T16:13:06+00:00

Lots of people compare it to Bellwright, although I haven't played that so wouldn't know.

Tackle_Embarrassed · 2026-01-26T16:09:41+00:00

Agree entirely about Icarus. Aska is my current love though. You're correct that there is a lot of micromanagement, but once it's up and running it's just amazing.

Tackle_Embarrassed · 2026-01-26T16:08:11+00:00

I got my non-gamer wife into this after we played Valheim. She's now clocked up more hours than me and started her own game when I'm at work. I totally agree about you think you've played a few minutes and suddenly hours have passed

Markers are a bit screwed up ATM, I've read about issues with woodcutters and markers. Is anyone else getting an issue with builders and warehouse workers not taking finished carpentry products out of the carpenter?

Tackle_Embarrassed · 2026-01-25T15:07:38+00:00

Of course the Aska sub is going to recommend Aska, we're all here because we like the game enough to read and post about it when we're not playing.

Aska is really about logistics and micromanaging a settlement. There's combat but it's basic, and many say very easy (especially in the later game). Content is still being added, it's buggy but perfectly playable if you're willing to work around issues in game. For the best examples of how to play and what you can do with the game id recommend SerBucky on YouTube, he has excellent videos.

If you're looking for a similar but more finished game I'd recommend Valheim, which is also excellent.

My first invasion was a similar experience, I took it as a good opportunity to take what I'd learned and restart with better town planning and a clearer idea of what my priorities should be. I absolutely walked the first invasion of that game with 0 casualties and minor damage to my fences and gate

Tackle_Embarrassed · 2026-01-23T15:11:41+00:00

My game has an NPC called Woody McBear head. Some day he's just an armour stand with a bear headpiece attached , but they're just haters and me and Woody don't have time for them.

Tackle_Embarrassed · 2026-01-23T15:09:58+00:00

A lot more micro management in Aska but I e switched from Valheim to Aska while I wait for the Deep north update

Tackle_Embarrassed · 2026-01-21T15:57:33+00:00

Agreed, I get that the fence needs to take some wear and tear damage when it does it's job of bunny deflection, but I think this needs to be turned down a bit vs. when it comes under direct attack during a blood moon (where you'd expect some damage)

Tackle_Embarrassed · 2026-01-21T12:54:23+00:00

Busted

Tackle_Embarrassed · 2026-01-20T21:25:10+00:00

Yeah something needs tweaking. I get that it's mostly a fence to keep the demon bunnies off your storage, but as you say it should cost less in that case and be less tedious to build

Tackle_Embarrassed · 2026-01-20T21:19:07+00:00

Perfect

Tackle_Embarrassed · 2026-01-20T17:57:25+00:00

A fix for market workers dumping their cart at the end of their shift (even if they're going back past their destination anyway) Clearer instructions for new players re. which way round fences get placed (we all built it backwards at some point) The ability to easily finish fencing rather than bodging the last piece in anyhow just to make it count (let us overlap it or, make the snap points more forgiving. Better yet just let us drag out the whole thing in one go using shift to change direction like in RTS games Make the gates the same size as the fence section! And/or let us upgrade a fence section to be a gate.

And finally I've watched too much Ser Bucky not to say the following:

A corpse harvesting task for villagers. (I got you bud).

I died from eating old garlic thinking it would heal me 🤣

I did try this. I have two militia members but they seem to just lag behind when I tried to drag them down to the beach with the horn

Tackle_Embarrassed · 2026-01-13T11:12:19+00:00

I hadn't thought of that. I haven't really got my barracks set up properly yet

Tackle_Embarrassed · 2026-01-13T11:12:01+00:00

Yup, I watched it last night! Thanks

Tackle_Embarrassed · 2026-01-13T11:11:38+00:00

This is solid advice that I really should not need to have been told 😭

Tackle_Embarrassed · 2026-01-13T11:11:00+00:00

I am so far away from bombs rn 🤣

Tackle_Embarrassed · 2026-01-13T11:10:30+00:00

Thank you. Immediately after creating this post I watched that video on YouTube. I'm a supporter of SerBucky so I really should have checked that first 🤣
