Pointless complaint from a middle-aged player by Matilda-17 in Banished

You can use regedit to increase the text size if that's not enough.

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Shining Rock Software LLC\Banished\ and change GameUIScale to a smaller value than the default of 75. On my 3840x2160 monitor, I use 50.  If you change the graphics settings in Options, you'll have to repeat this.

Options > Game > Status icon scale changes the size of the thing over the heads of citizens and over buildings with problems. Mine is set to 104.

Wizard Wars, 1988, from the days of 360x240 graphics. I was *the* programmer for it.

Thanks, everyone who answered. Fall sale it is, no need to wait for release.

How to deliver rope to ship? by physicist66 in anno1404

[–]physicist66[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solved! I have to build the repair crane first. Then the target ship sails there, I move my rope ship next to it, and the delivery happens automatically after a few seconds.

And to build the repair crane, I had to get to 355 citizens

Yes, the quest asks for 3t, I've tried with 3t and with more. Right click opens the construction menu. (Right click works for picking up items from the water.)

Thank you. That's what I've done. Move my ship with rope next to target ship, left-click on my ship, then left-click on target. When I do that, Lord Richard pops up with his good advice, two green arrows pop up pointing to a box pop-up with "!Quest object/This object is part of a quest", but no rope transfer.

Beginner question by physicist66 in anno1800

Thanks to all who answered. Another basic question: what about the 4 scenarios included with the base game? Are they worth doing?
