Feeding Your City: Manor Lords Ultimate Burgage Plots Guide 

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xOtZwB-zHwE.html - new video on how many market stalls you need for 100%

This is the content that I needed to stop building plots aimlessly

One of my favorite things in all the world is knowing that my two "go to" TYs for game strategies are communicating with each other on this.

Hopefully walking distance in the future gets less of an impact, allowing players to have other shapes (like longer strips of backyard plots) and still work efficiently. Maybe by removing the little in-garden road, and by allowing gardeners to harvest and carry back multiple units of veggies per trip? The orientation to the edges of the map really shouldn't matter either.

I think we should officially use "corpse pit" as a unit of measurement

I hope developer or modders add feature that allows to preset your burgage plot designs or something. Making them in this way using corpse pits, roads and then actualy burgage plots is kinda exhausting :D Good job btw love your content!

“Berry Ur Dead” ☠️ haha my metalcore teen phase cackled at the name 😂😂

Great guide! I really wish to see tournaments from this game! the tactics employed are very big

Dude your videos allowed me to finally create my real life village into the game and keeping everything 100%. Thank you, bro

Thank you so much for sharing with us mortals the tried-and-time-tested Corpse Pit method for burgage plots 🙏👍😉

I find it funny that the game being gridless and organic is a feature and yet here we are making our own "grid" with corpse pits lmao

Thank you tacticat for your guides!

Great job, TactiCat. I will 100 percent be using this to upgrade my designs and layouts. I struggle with finding a good way to build with the roads. I normally would use a 5 plot by 6 plot wide. Just measure by turning the houses. then reduce them down to 1. But you lay outs are very clean. 10/10

Awesome! Thanks so much.

Thanks man, I love it. Hope you dont mind me stealing it for my first expansion village. Great vids man, hope they keep coming!!

Awesome video! Thanks man

Bender. What I did in my latest run follows this with letting each L across a central avenue to the granary-storehouse facing each other spur. Face the blank space in the L in for the 3 singles that craft off stuff from storage/granary facing toward granary storage, space away from granary storage for artisans fed by farms. Haven't perfected the method yet, but this will help max farms.

Great video thanks

Gracias! thank you so much for all this information i love it! new subscriber

Great Content! My only gripe is how straight and perfect this town/layout looks. Not much personality even though it is highly optimal.

I hope it doesn't get too bogged down in stats and figures, its very distracting from actually playing the game. Sometimes it can seem overly complicated. And when we click on a burgage plot, why can't we see how much food it is producing?

So I did a little exercise TactiCat might find amusing. Live in farming country, PA. And in using Google Maps to figure out a bike course length, realized I could measure out field sizes right next to where I live. Looking up the wiki on the Morgen unit of area - which is all over the place in size - I picked out the Franconian Morgen which is 2000 m2. Franconian because reading the devs artbook and background on the game this is where it supposed to be set. That makes a Corpse Pit 500m2. There are several fields lined up of similar size on my side of the "main road" I live along. Doing the measurements they each turn out to be just under 11 acres, in Franconian Morgens that's almost 22. In Corpse Pits 88. These are the small plots you can pick-out. The others are several times this. Observing the plow, sow, and harvest times, each one of those segments takes maybe a day or two - for the whole probably 10-15x area of the reference 22 Morgen plot. Modern machinery eh? 😃 Posting this again, but a key point in it is that the 50% animal/50% machinery farming point was reached in the U.S. during mid WW2. According to Adam Tooze a key reason Germany lost WW2 was that their farming required fully 11 million folks - more than the size of the Wehrmacht. A labor triangle between farm-industry-military that was not optimal. Manor Lords is the heritage for all that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4Pq6aiQagpI.html

Many good points. Great investigation. But it doens`t need to be all rectangular american city grids to work. I tend to preshape roundish plots with the help of roads to get 0.6 to 0.8 Morgen , set the plot and remove the streets. Same outcome but looks much nicer. And you dont need to align with the map grid.

The HGTV guitar music at the beginning 😂😂😂

Will have to implement the bender design! For farming you want the fields in a square, or circle, as it is the most efficient as the people walk to the middle of the field and dump the harvest. What I do, typically, is have 9 fields, in squares, at 0.5 morgen each (working on that one family is efficient with 0.5 morgen when it comes to harvesting, ploughing and the like). Three families working on the farm and with an Ox too (Though it is a nice to have, not mandatory). then cycle rotation so only three, out of nine, fields are growing produce per year. Letting the other fields get a nice fallow and regen time. Though, depending on your region - Rye will likely be better than Wheat. On the beta version. Just my 2 cents.

Another awesome vid. Only one question... what is everyone doing about the hauntings that inevitably occur after building an entire village on corpse pits?

Great content as always! I will implement your designs and try to solve my problem with inhabitants not harvesting vegetables fast enough or not at all. Any additional tips on this matter? Is it cbetter to have them unassigned or give them any specific job?

haha love the jeffrey! xD amazing love your content! keep it up! great work!

great video! i just start a new game after the new patch is released. found that the veg growth rate is much lower than before and my second region without rich soil fertility (no farming) is running out of food in winter, even though i have made several Bender for growing veg…

Thanks for the easy to follow 300 pop guide. How did you bring in enough ale to satisfy the tier 3 build.

You can use the word "orient". It means what you keep saying "orientate" for. But its like youre chopping the ation part of orientation in half and sticking it the the end of orient. 'You orient a plot to have a satisfying orientation' for a sentence example. Kinda odd sounding otherwise. But yeah orient is easier to say, n makes more sense :p awesome video btw definitely going to use these techniques.

You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon? It's the ship that did the Kessel run is less than 12 Corpse Pits... 😁

You kinda touch on this, but I always add 10 T1 houses to make it easier to upgrade all my homes to t4 then I just delete them.

lul Year Ten!! Every Time I get to year 2, I kill the Raiders, Claim New Land, Save the Game and Start Over. I have never played past year 3 on Default Difficulty. I'd like to see your Year 1, 2 and 3 Benchmarks if you have that information... thanks!

Cheers. good stuff! Is that 1 corpse pit = 60 veg, per family? (At least I've notice big increases when I tier 3 the veg/app plots - 4 people - hence the question - 60 per family x 4 = 240 veg?). I do like the efficiency plot design's, good to know - cheers! I'm going to try them next run/today. But then I see your "final town" marketplace having 36+? stalls. My last game with 20 tier 3 plots, only needed 12 stalls (population 271) - so I see huge inefficiencies there. Marketplace and stalls/restocking are bugged or misunderstood, so criticism is about the "system". (work arounds like having more stalls then needed can fix the situation, but its not as efficient as I would like) Food hasn't been an issue (assuming you have the food), I'm even having my stall owners work locations farther away from the central market and it still works fine. Fire (without charcoal), is messed. Previous 2 quick runs, I had over 1.2k firewood and was even trading firewood away, and the 3-4 stalls could not restock for under 200 people (I tried killing the marketplace, moving the stall owners, etc.). Guess my bad luck... 😞 I was actually surprised that you can make great/incredibly profitable towns, without ever having tier 3 plots. It was something new me.

Again, more great content. I have to ask though, what's the deal with the plots lining up with the corners of the map? I don't understand this. Are you just saying keep them square. Don't build triangles and the like?

For the Bender, do you have to build the second house and have an extra family working on the crops to get the maximum amount of food or does only one family work?

couldn't get the six pack to work the 3rd point wasnt going more than quarter before breaking into straight line

i was under the impression vegetables were broken since the latest patch. I have about 200 morgans of burgage plot space dedicated to vegetable gardens and my town has never produced a single vegetable. they animate, they grow, they get harvested, but they never actually enter my town inventory.

I still want Blueberry Muffins.

i'm noticing that my orchards produce the same number of apples as the veggie plots do for the same size. not 1:2. the first few years they were lower though, as the trees were still growing

On the bender. Wouldn't you get less than a full 3 x .25 mrgn production, since the houses do take some space, say half that CP they are in? That would make production by the math circa 165veg/86apls. Similar question applies for the others, like Target and Square. Thanks making me practice putting an excel spread sheet in my word doc notes on this game - now 12 pages long. 😄 Thanks also for making your spread sheets available. You can conquer the world with excel.

the bender does not work anymore in the most recent patch. the second burgage doesn't properly recognize the property definitions and just overlaps them showing up as red lines, not being able to be placed down.

do you always go apples in your first city still? with a new patch that came out today? Let us assume we have a region with fertile land + unlimited iron. Using points for apples, plow charcoal, deep mining, better deals we are left with only single point for armour making.... what should be dropped for at least one more point for armor

Thx for your video, but I dont get the bender to work. I do not get the third point into the corner. It cuts of before.

Is the bender a 0.7.960 thing? I can't get it to work on 0.7.955

can you get any meat from the livestock? or is it just hunting?

Great stuff. I learned a lot. But, hmm... the game says that one burger plot consumes 1 food per month. With double housing, you get 2 families per lvl1 burger. So you only need 600 food per year, not 1200?

what the point of min maxing 1 plot, why not build more plot

Question! I can't find a way to transfer goods in one region to another! I know they tweaked it in the beta but it doesnt make sense? I am sure you have covered it, where can I find it?

Do you have a good layout for farming with ox?

So three foreger shacks with one person is better than one shack with 3 people?

I have a new idea for a Metal band that does metal adaptations of Manor Lords music... CORPSEPIT SCHEMATIC

Does 1 veggie feed 1 family for a month?

You have a discord?

are the apples worth?

Ummmm wait, 400 berries from a non-rich deposit?? Ill have to see what im doing wrong. Typically whats happens is, i have a zone/area set, but ill look away and come back, and notice none of them picking berries, just doing other things. i then have to re-select the zone, and they finally pick berries. Kinda weird, but if I forget to re-select then I barely any berries. its very weird. Same with hunting! Ill have two huts and they just DONT go hunting, i have to re-select zone, multiple times. (unless theres only a select period when you can hunt ??? ) otherwise, im not sure how to get people to GO do a thing lol.

why would I want to plant apples, when they are half as good as vegs?

this makes me not want to play the game
