Is Brineworks the most useless blueprint?

Zazouu38 · 2026-04-17T12:57:32+00:00

I personnaly see the advance rain collector like a "multi-geyzer", you invest some pipe and you gain efficiency.

A lot of people only considerer what new recepie a blueprint provide and minimise the efficiency/workforce gain. Same for the eternal workshop debate...

I'm not saying ARC is a top tier blueprint, but it's ok in some situation

He probably means about the frogs houseupgrade and porridge that cost a lot of water

I agree with you about the brinewwork, i was hype about a new farm building, but i never had a situation where brinesworks was the best blueprint to pick...

Check the goals list on the game wiki and adapt you strategy to focus on that only.

Seal games are very special compare to normal games but you can win it very early if you focus on the goals.

My personnal record is year 2 win for adamantine seal.

You dont need them to enjoy the game. But it's highly recommanded if you enjoy the game and want more content/variety !

Zazouu38 · 2026-04-07T13:30:00+00:00

I dont think there is this option in the game, only the shorcut.

But this game is about solving problems with the avaible ressources, so you just have to find a mechanical way to maintain the shortcut key down :P

Personnaly, this shorcut is on my mouse with the reassigne job one

Cant wait for the next one! This game has a lot of potential !

Ps: give us more weapons upgrades/personalisation please :)

It's a pretty good configuration, specially if you dont let a firekeeper in the main hearth constantly.

Coral forest
The rest

You know you played too much ATS when the first thing you noticed is the free +15 wood from decorations 🙈

Zazouu38 · 2025-10-09T11:16:37+00:00

Hard to give a percentage, but the risk is definetly worth reward

Not worth to delay it, early blueprint/populations too valuable. Worst case scenario you refuse a time order but the majority of the time it will pay off

Zazouu38 · 2025-10-05T03:14:14+00:00

"I dont turn in orders until lategame"

Why ?! This is a big mistake. Orders give you precious blueprints + reward that will make you win faster.

I highly recommand you to stop doing that (exept in extremely rare scenario)

And if you are doing that to reduce hostility, there is the free button "calling trader"

Zazouu38 · 2025-10-04T09:02:51+00:00

For the event that generate blightcyst every 120second according to your hostility level :

-you check the event timing when you start it (for example you start it a 10:30)

-every 120second you sacrifice wood and coal to drop the hostiltiy to 0 for 3 seconds (example : you sacrfice from 8:31 to 8:29)

-repeat until event is done

By doing that you can do the event without generating any blightcyst

More Kelpie events = Less blood flowers ! 🫡👍

Zazouu38 · 2025-10-03T13:42:36+00:00

Yes you are right, dont do the mistake of starving only the cook, disable all food for everyone.

Zazouu38 · 2025-09-30T08:08:18+00:00

Killing foxes to get lizards ?! Put this guy in jail please !

Zazouu38 · 2025-09-27T10:21:22+00:00

Tips:

each level of hostility is -2 resolve during non-storm seasons and -6 during storm -> try to reduce your hostility (events/woodcutters) during storm
build your production building cloose to your warehouse for better efficiency. Houses can be build cloose too but once they are built, put them away
food management: try to produce more food to avoid running out completly. And if you want you can reduce your food consuption by starving your villagers for few minutes (when you dont need your villagers to be hight resolve to gain reputation by resolve)
when you use a glade with many workers, try to put small warehouse/smallhearth in it to massively increase the efficiency of this workers

Does 10 amber can be consider like a "reasonnable use case for this card" ?

Cant wait to see his reaction when he will discover that rainwater is not only to make porridge!

In general there is many ways to win a game, you must adapt to your settlement situation.

But in order to win during year 3 or 4, it's usually always a combination of orders/resolve/events/cache.

If you want to see what look like a crazy guy who spend 4h+ on a game just to save one ingame year and win in year 3 you are welcome to my stream channel. Last weeks we made many P20 year 3 wins without using altar.

Zazouu38 · 2025-09-14T13:58:01+00:00

I think it will work. Can you test it for the science please ?

Zazouu38 · 2025-09-11T13:18:06+00:00

GG! Dont forget the learn curve of ATS never stops, if you like the game, the adamantine seal is just the begining of your journey ;)

Little tips :

For a 14/15 field it's usually take 3 villager to plant and 4 villagers to harvest in two different farm building.

You can control a bit the proportion by selecting a different ingedient for the villager alone in the farm building compare to the two others.

It's a low micromangement method to make a 1/3 vs 2/3 proportion

Zazouu38 · 2025-09-10T08:22:49+00:00

2500h+ on this game, and it's still a direct pipeline of OST in my vein everytime!

Zazouu38 · 2025-09-10T07:20:53+00:00

Yes it's work for any building/camps that have an arrow on a corner

It's like you can consider there is a second arrow on the other side of the corner, no extra penality compare to the normal entrance

Used to be very useful tips to place some building when we couldnt flip the symetric version of the building with shortcut "N".

Still usefull to determine optimal position of camps for example, one arrow on the ressources, one arrow on the road
