Hard to play solo. After my first invasion happened with bloodmoon at the same time. An hour of playing after that. I got another tick of another invasion happening. Haven't even finished repairing the damage and replaced the killed villagers. Oh well. /ragequit for me.
So, I got to day 50 or so and was told when the invasion was coming, I only had two villagers plus myself. Then the day came and the invasion started. Then for some strange reason, I got the message 'Invasion repelled.' I didn't do anything, it just went away. I must say I was extremely relieved but to this day I don't know what happened to make it go away? Anyway, I live to fight another day. I have learned how to survive the winters so no problem there.
you can keep them alive even without clothes in winter, they will need leisure time every hour to not freeze to death working, or just give them full leisure and sleep and they will sit the winter out in a warm cottage for clothes farm flax in year 1 and make workshop addons like weaver
You should construct a market and establish a remote base to transport goods, allowing for movement between warehouses. It would be beneficial to have a road connecting all the locations..
