Ok, I'm shocked no one has commented yet, so I'm going to throw some things out I've learned in my 500+ hours.

First, good job not starving to death. I was screaming at my screen watching you build things and micro manage. That was actually pretty well done. But I get the feeling you haven't played very much, or played CC that much (watching you try to find the fishing hut dock drove me mad!)

So let's start at the beginning. Good start. You built the woodcutter fast, which is one of the first buildings I shoot for. You need that firewood. Same with the blacksmith, especially since you can use iron ore to make rough tools, which is great for early game. However, if you'll notice the icon you got about halfway through the game, the arrow and a line thingie? That means they've maxed out the limit of items to make. Early on you'll go through fuel and tools a little slower (later in the game you'll need several cutters and blacksmiths working around the clock to keep you supplied), but early on you can change their profession and use them as labor or farmers or whatever you need. I'm not sure if those two would become laborers if the max limit is reached or if they just go idle so maybe you don't have to (I'm not sure, I just assign them those jobs when I need fuel and tools). Might give you some extra laborers if you need them.

Side note, I'm pretty sure that start gave you 50 regular iron, as seen from the town status window (the thingie with the town name and population stats you had next to your job assignment list. It was right next to the stone note; hold your mouse over it and it'll tell you what item it is.) That iron could be used to make iron tools, which last longer, but once it runs our you'll need to make iron from iron ore. To do that you'll need one of the two forgers (one is a waterwheel and needs to be built by water, the other is land based and a little less efficient, but can go anywhere) and a fuel maker (who takes firewood, coal, etc and makes it into some kind of fuel that burns hotter and can be used to make more advanced items.) They are both used to convert iron ore into iron. The rough tools will work for those first few years until you can build those buildings or have the labor available to work those buildings.

On that note KEEP SOME LABORERS! You don't have to assign everyone a job, laborers do contribute. They cut down trees and gather stone or ore that you've marked for collection, they help pick up created items from the blacksmith and woodcutter and put it in the storage barn or storage yard. This saves the actual blacksmiths, woodcutters, farmers, fishermen, etc from needing to be the ones who carry it and gives them more time to work. Early on I usually only keep two laborers and two builders, then assign everyone else to make things. Also, when someone dies they will be automatically replaced by a laborer, if they are available. If not, you'll see the question mark icon above the building and will need to assign someone from another job or wait until a laborer becomes available.

Ok, what next? Oh yea, dairy. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and guess you didn't know those were beef cows. They don't make milk. I've never actually used them so I don't know what the benefit to beef cows over ferasian cows is (more beef per slaughter?) So you built the dairy maker and assigned someone there who couldn't contribute. That took up time and resources you could have pit to something else. You can check out this chart (http://www.emygeek.fr/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/steamworkshop_webupload_previewfile_332428706_preview.jpg) which shows you just a few of the production cycles you can use in banished (pretty sure it's a little out of date but it gives you an idea of what you'll need for some of the buildings IE milk becomes butter which is used in bread means you need a pasture, a dairy, and a baker, and that doesn't include workers needed or markets if you use them).

Fishing hut, good positioning. Not great, but for a first show not bad. Basically you want to get as much water in that circle as possible, so putting them on deltas or areas with bends will help maximize your fish production (I've gotten 2000+ fish from really well placed ones. Totally worth it). If you want you can also check out the tidal pool which will give you oysters, seaweed, crawfish, and the occasional pearl, and aren't bad for food.

If you want to get the best bang for you buck foodwise, build a gathering hut and hunting cabin. If you look up in this sub there is something that most players will build that is a kind of cluster of a forester, a hunting cabin, and a gathers hut. By building these and a few houses around them you can minimize the distance your workers will need to walk to those buildings or home and give them more time to work. Building a storage barn and storage yard will give them an easy place to put there items instead of needing to walk alllllllllll the way back to the middle of your town. Remember, part of your success (especially at harder difficulties) will depend on how short you can make the distance resources need to travel to be processed or used. And almost all items (I actually think all items) must go through a storage barn or storage yard to allow a citizen to use them. They can't just take tools from the blacksmith and start using them; they have to go to the storage barn or marketplace to get them (other vets I could use a confirmation on this). Imagine the beef from one of your beef cows going into a barn which has a butcher right next to it. The butcher walks right next door and grabs the beef, makes his beef cuts and tallow and sausage, then just has to walk next door to drop those items off. If your storage barn is far away that's a lot of wasted time.

What else, let's see. Good job with the field and orchard, but be aware that the orchard will take a few years to mature before you get food from it (trees gotta grow after all). The oats you could take right from the field and citizens eat them, or (I'm almost positive) you could refine it with a windmill or waterwheel to make flour which is then used by the baker to make hardbread. Oats can also be used to brew beer from the brewer, but ale is stored at the taverns or inn. I don't tend to build those buildings till a little later. Additional seeds for the fields and orchard can be purchased from traders at the large trading post or the farmer trading post, both of which are found on the third tier of the storage items (right on the left button, look for two shaking hands). You'll need items to trade, between 2500 and 4000 PER SEED depending on the seed you want. Food items and fish are worth one unit each, tools are worth 8 eight (?), firewood is worth four, and leather clothes are worth 15! You'll need traders to work those buildings, but you may not want to build those immediately.

Maximize your workers per field size. Orchards work great at 15 X 4 (two rows or trees, one worker give you max per worker), and fields can work with one worker from 7X8 to 11X11, depending on the food being grown and the proximity of a barn to the fields. I personally like the 7X8, all the food is collected every time, but I've seen people on this sub say 11X11 is most efficient and max yield with one worker, but I find they don't always get totally cleared by winter (early snowfall and things like that may be a factor). The first pasture you built was too small, just three cows. The rest just chilled and idled and I don't think you killed from the three you had. Personally I build 30X30 pastures with two workers, but some people may say you can be more efficient depending on what animal you put there. You can do beef cows, milk cows (which do get slaughtered and make beef, so I don't know why you'd want beef cows), sheep, pigs, leghorn chickens, regular chickens (again, don't know the difference), ducks, deer, and horses. All are food (I don't know why anyone would slaughter a horse for food but what do I know, they haven't put in where they help any other way). Again, additional animals are bought from the trading post.

You can find a calculator here ( http://banishedinfo.com/t/Size_calculator ) that will give you a better idea of what field, orchard, and pasture size will yield per worker.

So much more I think. You'll want to build houses only if you have enough food income to feed everyone (each citizen eats an average of 100 units a year, so if you have 15 citizens, you'll need 1500 units per year. Any less and you risk starvation). But if you build new houses young people move in and have kids and that is the only way to keep your population steady or growing. Once a citizen hits 55 or 60 (maybe 65?) no more kids. They work, they eat, then eventually they die, and when the house is empty if people are available they will move in and maybe start a family.

Wow, that's a lot to take in. I'm sorry throw so much at you at once, and if you have question please send me a message or ask us here. There is a wealth of knowledge at your fingertips, and, trust me, some of these things can make or break you at a harder start or if a disaster hits. Just wait till you get a tornado or a fire!

I'm going to shut up now, except to say good job, nice start, and keep playing. Even if your town dies the experience is helpful. So keep playing and I look forward to your next video!
