I hope this stays as a regular series after full release

You need to replace the road that was removed when you put the church in.

11:45 Notice that the homelessness in the "previous" section has gone down to -1, it was -2, so in the past few months the older of the 2 homeless issues has dropped off. In answer to your marketplace needs for a Burgage Plot. The plots closest to the market get resupplied first, so a Burgage halfway across the region, by the mining pit, will be the last to be supplied. The multiple Burgage Plots by the market have to get their supplies before it's allowed to supply to the more distant one. If you use the premise of say, post delivery, and the market is the post office, and you have 1 postman, the post is going to get to the houses in town because they're all downtown near the post office. The postman has to make a long trip out to make that one delivery to the mining pit house. But in the meantime, one of the places in town needs another delivery, by proximity, the delivery is taken to the house in town, further delaying the delivery to that one remote location. It will get its delivery, but it will take much longer. 15:15-15:40 Thank you for allowing that transition to pass on screen. It's remarkable the detail put into the slow "accumulation" of snow. 16:15-16:21 I don't think you'll get wealth from the carrots (nor the eggs from an expansion chicken coop, etc) These are the people's gardens or animals, and they likely sell them at the market, which improves your food stall variety, thus happiness/approval, but that money isn't paid to you because you have no taxation or tithes in place. If you can upgrade your Burgage Plots to Level 2, they will start producing 1 wealth per family living in the upgraded burgage. But upgrading them also means the demands to keep the household happy will go up. I think these expansions add food variety and possibly materials that other buildings can use (such as hides from goats, which would in turn be used at the tannery, during the demo, I've read these expansions didn't actually do anything, not sure if they currently do) 16:54 by pausing the forager's hut, you may have just closed their stall at the market, which is going to mean your market will no longer have its food stall variety bonus. 21:10-21:14 You have to recognize the difference between "Family Members" vs "Family" When a family joins, it's a new work group. When a family member joins, it increases the number of workers in a specific, already existing, group. You can order another ox at the structure that is Jacob's home when he's not working (I've forgotten the name of it) but it will cost you regional wealth (gold) shortly after you order it, a trader will come and deliver it to where it was ordered from. You can also build additional structures to tie the ox to, which will mean when someone hauls, using the ox, they can take him to the nearest drop off instead of having to return him to the one building you started with. 38:24-38:26 your regional wealth (gold) is 67, so your trade route has already made some money it would appear. You are down to 58 planks from the 120 you had, and you just used some planks to start building the church, so It would appear a number of your planks left when you set your surplus, and some money has already beep paid to you, then your expenditure on the church reduced your surplus below your set number. By forcing early harvest, I think you're hurting yourself. The next year you have set to fallow (improve the soil, do not plant crops) and you won't get the full 41 wheat harvest, because the yield is based on letting the crops grow to maturity.

You can sow wheat in the autumn (winter wheat). It will germinate before winter when it gets too colds then lie dormant until spring when it will start growing again. Winter wheat normally is harvested before Spring wheat as it starts growing before the spring wheat is planted.

Biffa, when you destroyed the road to make space for the Church ( 36:38 ) you destroyed the *whole* entire road which connected all the residential buildings in the town. Your residents arent gonna like that :(

I'm screaming at my screen for the early harvest of the wheat. You're not going to get the 4o-ish you're seeing in the building tab because it hasn't yet grown. Your farmers didn't run out of time during the planting season and similar to real life cereal crops are planted before winter and germinate in the spring. Let it growww let it growwww don't early harvest anymoreeeee

"Jacob the Ox" sounds like the surprise twist at the end of a side quest where someone told you a lengthy backstory that sounded like their dad or husband or some other person of great personal value went missing. "Waaaiit a second. Jacob is an ox?!?!" 😂

Unless it says "route required" in the trade tab of the trading post, you do not need to establish a route. Just set whatever you want to trade to import or export. Also, you didn't build a second storehouse near the industrial area (iron, stone).

At 33:04 where you are happy that people moved in the houses next to the mine, I actually spit half my tea when I read the name of the first inhabitant 😅😅😅😅

You don't need to open trade routs to trade some items, that just sets up a dedicated rout or unlocks unavailable that need a rout items. Just set to export and set your reserve limit and the trader will take excess to fill the trading post and as merchants pass they will buy various amounts of various items that you have sored there so for the planks, you didn't need to buy the route. Same with Import, you don't need buy a route just select import (unless it specifically says Route required) and the amount you want sored in your village and the trader will buy off traveling merchants as they pass through until you have reached your goal limit.

I believe Zweiau is a german/austrian? village name that you would pronounce like ts (tsunami) + wye (Y) + ow (owl minus the l) = tswyeow, historically you could name a village which is near two (2 = "zwei") small streams or rivers in a wet sometimes flooded region which is an "Au" as "Zweiau"

Looking great, just make sure to now buy some horses and oxen so you can be better able to move heavy items around and to also speed up farming now that you have the money coming in through trade. Then be sure to connect the other two church connections with roads and give the other part of your village a well as well, so they don't have to traval as far for water if possible, might be no harm in giving them a market and more storage areas as well, again just to reduce travel - and make sure to give your majestic, bearded Lord a nice manor house so he can enjoy his sips of tea and watch over his people

There's the real Biffa!!! Thank you for bringing the real Biffa back and taking that sip of tea, thought we almost lost you for good! hehe😝🥰

Dont forget to reassign people to keep making planks for trading. Also keep an eye on replanting trees to keep a steady amount of wood! Love the new series! Please keep it going! ❤

i was screaming at the screen every time Biffa would zoom near the Market area when he removed the road to make room for the church, he removed the entire road through the houses

I think the "income" from the backyard carrots is vegetables, not actual money/wealth.

The village Zweiau is roughly pronounced tzvai-au. It means roughly second(zwei=two) wetland in German. But Au is an old word with many meanings. Maybe it has an old English cognate.

on the one hand i love biffa and others can play the game, but on the otherhand i want to play too. getiing footage of a game which is comming soon is like torture to me. fomo hits hard, i would appriciate not to be able to see more off. sure i gonna watch it and be upset afterwards because i explored the game without doin it myself. still keep up your good work i really appriciate your content

love this series! Couple things you seemed to miss throughout the gameplay though - you deselected stone from the general storage so it can only be stored at the site. you also deleted the main road for you houses when building the church. lastly, the small house symbol, top left, represents your housing stock and you didn't have room for more people at the end of the episode! Again, love the series so far!

On the development tree, Trade Logistics locks the cost of a new trade route at a maximum of 25 regional wealth. Bit late for the tools trade, but will save you loads in the long run. Loving the start to the series!

Harvesting will only happen in the Late Summer/Early Autumn but its a three month window. An early harvest won't harvest before a crop is ready, just before its at maximum yield. That's how crops grow, you plant in the winter of the year before you want to harvest, harvest 3rd quarter of the next year. As you only have one field however, you'll need to make sure you rotate crops & leave it fallow a year, so ideally you need 3 fields if you have the area for it.

29:39 I'm really hoping it's not that sort of trading post!

I’ve not watched the latest video yet, but a few notes for Biffa: -The housing in the top left: if your housing says (12, +2), it means you have 12 current spaces, and 2 in your construction queue being built / upgraded -Building cost, if the resource quantity is white, you have enough. If it’s red, you don’t have enough yet. 18:50 for the church, you already had enough stone to build it

The care for details in the game is so evident even such a perhaps small aspect where a building as made one plank at a time is a real credit to the effort of the developers. Really enjoying this relaxed pace and keen to play it!

Buy an ox, Jacob needs a family

Great series. Just an fyi: You can lower import prices massively (by 10 gold) via a perk once you level up your settlement.

Im guessing its more beneficial to have houses nearer the market in the town then with the workplaces which is probably why you cant choose the house they live in

the bloomery refines the mined ore and the smithy then makes stuff out of it

Wow.. the game looks beautiful.. a true successor for Banished.. my wife's going to LOVE this...

I think you can upgrade from a village to a hamlet if you can acquire a small pig.

[36:40] Game needs to handle removal of roads a little bit better. Not removing the whole road, but only up to the next junction

"December is winter, like in the real world" sad face from the southern hemisphere

For the mining house, you could've just pressed the - next to the build thingemajig to reduce it to a single house. I can't wait for this game man.. holy damn

I love that I'm an Ox in this game XD

For clothing you need a hunter (to a lesser extent the goats) for hides and a tannery to convert the hides to leather. A stall sells the leather and that seems to satisfy the first level of clothing need.

Those smelters, miners and bloomers need to go a long way to get water from the well 🥤 Also, does it allow to make a grid of perfectly straight roads? Not very medieval, I know.

I want to play this game so badly i can't wait

Heya Biffa! Nice new series! I might be mistaken, but you set your farm to crop rotation with nothing to plant in the second year (to regenerate the field I guess) An early harvest might not be in your best interest then. 😊

"Jacob named after the local Ox" cracked me up 😂

I was biting my nails why you waited so long for the 10 stone :D , you had it the moment you wanted to build the church. Great seriers so far , keep it up !

Tip! If you're in need of food, Chickens are a good way, i believe they're an upgrade to houses(Burgage)

poor biffa junior, standing outside in the cold at school, "ugh! bet dads pretending to be a feudal lord again!"

“Winter in December just like the real world” Me - cry’s in Australian

your kids' school must be really nearby, because you were only gone for a second! 25:15

He doesn't need it right now, but now with the first wheat coming in, I think it is time to set up the grain mill to gain flower.

I love how this one man company got snow working and looking better than city skylines 2 😅

Amazing video, very entertaining. Can't wait for the game to come out.

Heya Biffa! If you get your Burgage plots upgraded you will start gaining regional wealth passively from the houses. You will always get access to more artisian crafts that you can export and gain more regional wealth.

You can definitely buy another ox. Get a friend for Jacob!

Ah Biffa, you're such a townie! The wheat needs a whole season to grow. You're not going to get anything useful if you try to harvest in May. Same when you were looking for the carrots in the middle of winter. They don't grow in winter.

Really enjoying the series, you have run out of free houses for new families tho. There is 14 families and 14 houses

Yes M' Lord trade all the things we shall yet conquer I ... I mean Liberate the countryside. MOAR!

Really enjoying this, Biffa!

Hope the kids got home safe. Continue on being a great dad

@Biffa Zweiau is a composition of the german words zwei(two) and au wich is colloquial for aue(meadow) and and thus would be translated as "two meadows". phonetic wise: Zw - like switch but with a sharper S sound as in Zipper, ei - aye -> Zwei: "Zwaye" and Au -> ow => Zwaye-ow

I wish the roads were created naturally, as you place a building and naturally the road would be created by the people walking thru, obvisouly with the option to create our own path on the side

Absolutely gorgeous game. Thanks for sharing!! 😊

19:30 and he destroyed some stone xD

hahaha please think of the children. hahaha. glad you remembered to go get them.

This might be one of my favourite games when it comes out

Hate to tell you Biffa but "next year" is your fallow year... year 1: wheat (that was the previous year); year 2 wheat (you've just forced it so reduced yield); year 3 fallow... love the game though!

you should really try anno 1800 i would love that serie

Manor lords.... !!! I WANT TO PLAY IT!!!!

Congrats on 700k!

For pronunciation you might go with: ts why - ou (ou like in mouse)

The houses need to be LV 2 to gain any money, you can upgrade by clicking the house, upgrade, takes 4 logs.

Early harvest was a bad idea. There won't be time for another crop this year. Also I believe you turned your plank making off last winter and now you sold all your excess, if you want money you should assign a person.

nice graphics and I love rain

Seasons Like it is in the real world. *amusement from the southern hemisphere*

for tehgarden, you should rather select a house with a bigger backyard for it and put a chicken coop in the small ones. The chicken is really efficient apaprently to feed people. You acually do not need iron, and tools at tehbeginning. I would rather set up the hunting camp for food and hides and the tanner to get some clothing done. these are requirements for upgrading the houses. I would even do that before the wheat and the mill, to start I would go foir the shortest production chain, because of teh people availability.

Thought this was really short, but it actually sits at over three quarters of an hour. Must've just enjoyed it.

It is interesting that you can play the game in completely different ways, I watched Spiffing Brit's video and he played it very different - and noted Eggs are key! And also over powered lol - looks like a great game, I will be picking it up :)

Really love how realistic this game is!! Always enjoy watching you play it and getting my laughs and giggles in for the day! When you are confused, I am confused 😄Great job on getting thru the first winter🤩

Enjoying watching this. Like how you take the time to shownis the building/landscape animations 👍

i can't wait for this series once the game gets released. def getting this myself cuz i love games like this or farthest frontier

That's a game I might consider. Thanks biffa!

this looks too good to be real. i dont believe it

Brighten it up biffa it looks too british rn can hardly see anything lol

This was a single developer? Holy cow!

on behalf of the tea consumption ministry i would like to point out a problem with autosave: it goes to fast, leading to a drastic decrease of tea sips, decreasing our bottomline , this is unacceptable! 😂😂😂

Ahhhh! I am so happy we have another episode! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 loving this!

This game looks amaaazing 😮 i cast my vote for this staying a series 🙌

I'm literally counting the days till this is available, lol! Couple weeks to go!

Did you put a family back on the berries when apring rolled back around? Also to me, it sounds like theyre planting winter wheat with the "sowing" happening in fall. No need for the early harvest possibly.

You can get a horse now to help move things.

Ostriv mixed with Farthest Frontier I guess

I like that you can assign families to jobs near where they live!

I'm SOOOOO excited for this to come out

Loving this new series!

Biffa I think you forgot to enable the woodcutting (planks) again, might need it if you want to keep trading planks

"winter in December, just like the real world" i guess the southern hemisphere doesn't exist in the real world 😏

Loving this series! You are soo funny Biffa! I'm glad you brought your humour over from Cities 😁Can't believe you didn't say 'Winter is coming' 😅

Biffa - Just want to let you know sir that I'm enjoying this series of videos and I find the entire game very interesting. Also wanna let you know that I'm glad that your health is doing much better since your family truly loves you and need you and the rest the world needs you as well. By the way, you might wanna look into why you're playing the game to see if any of the tools or other resources that you're making can use the help to increase The productivity of your citizens. In addition, I'm not sure but I am willing to bet the stone that you're having cut out of the ground might be able to use to upgrade to roadways and you might want to test that as well.

Im in love with this game!

You deleted your main road where all your houses are!

the farms behind the house isnt what makes money, you need to upgrade the house to lvl 2

Would love to see this more often

Interesting name for one of those family members at 33:28 😬

So how many episodes until Biffa remembers to turn on his bread production?
