Thanks for watching! Might try out Sengoku Dynasty before I put out my next Medieval Dynasty Guide. Anyone tried it yet?

[@Byakko37]

Is this on console or just pc?

[@chrisw6164]

Crops tab, got it. That’s what I was missing. You’re the man.

Glad I could help 😀

Greetings, Sir Jay. I recently bought the game and got quickly overwhelmed. Your videos have helped a lot. Thanks for that.

[@SirJayWalker]

Glad my videos are helpful! 😀

Some tips and advices of my experience in this game for both expert - advanced and newbie leaders: 1. Before the update with the farm shed, the range of the barns are very massive, if you put in the middle surrounding with 16x16 titles of fields or 8x8 orchards, the workers can work perfectly without any issues. But remember that all those 16x16 or 8x8 must be in square shape surrounding the barn to be effectively worked, if you put any of that beyond that square the workers hardly working at all. This same effect is the same as the farm shed too so you dont have to concerned about it. 2. By putting much 16x16 or 8x8 it will consumed much of the time for workers to deal with plus a huge amount of fertilizer as well. But if you set some of 16x16 fields to plant veges that produce high amounts of rot, which can be convert to fertilizer than you dont have to worry about it any more, by doing this you dont need longer to build pigsty and buy pigs to produce manure which can be converted fertilizer due to the amount of rot is higher than the manure when season changes. Also by doing this you can save up to 1 building slot limit so that in the future you can use that slot to build others too. Ps: sorry about my english because its not my national language, although i can use english perfectly but some times i make mistake.

[@SirJayWalker]

Thanks for the tips! 🙂

[@squirrelattackspidy]

Thanks! Which veggies produce a high amount of rot?

[@thanhlongvo7092]

@@squirrelattackspidy hard to say because before the update of version 1.0 or the update that comes with the kitchen buildings, it was mainly the cabbage mostly. But since then, i have discovered that pies, tarts and breads make more rot than the original ones. Especially the pies, the most of them are the cherry, meat and berry pies. 3 of them are the most converted more rot than the og. You can experience this by yourself to check plus experience all other foods as well to see how much rot they are converted so that you can focus on produce that food overly max and they will be converted into rot in the next season.

[@SirJayWalker]

Im glad this video helped! 😀

[@sebytro]

"Edwin's wheat and bag simbol", which I always thought it's a feather and a bag. xD Anyway I was so dependant on Gostovia when I started out that I was running back and forth a few times per day just to plant one tiny crop. Later on the village became more self-sustainable and I realized that if I want to level up farming I just have to do everything myself. That's the simplest, fastest way to level it up. Thanks for the vid btw!

[@lloyd67lp]

Thanks! You just saved me a bunch of frustration. MD should have tutorials.

[@SirJayWalker]

Thanks! 🙂

[@ColinBurtonPlays]

Nice video. I'm sure you’re aware that it's not necessary to place tools and other farming requirements in the farm sheds. They can be collected from the main resource storage buildings by your workers.

[@SirJayWalker]

Thank you, and this is true! I prefer to move tools & equipment into their respective buildings over the resource storage because resource storage is limited and I'm always hitting the 4000 weight limit in my main playthrough. Saves a little space 🙂

[@ColinBurtonPlays]

@@SirJayWalker The storage limits for the individual chests in the workplaces is so small! I just build more storage buildings until I have enough space to store everything. Once you’ve got market stalls set up it’s easy to manage storage space.

[@SirJayWalker]

It would be nice if they increased the storage space for individual buildings, so stacking resource storage facilities wouldn't be needed, but I make it work with one. Market Stalls help, but they don't sell as fast as I like, even with multiple stalls selling the same stuff. Honestly, I just produce way more logs/wooden vials than I need 😂

[@gamergeek7482]

@@SirJayWalkerlol that’s gonna be my problem. I’m a hoarder. I have to play with weight limit off. But I’m still obviously going to have resources in abundance for everyone to use. Btw a detailed video in under 7 minutes when it takes others 20 minutes is amazing. Keep it up!

[@SirJayWalker]

[@SirJayWalker]

Thanks for watching! You can put all of your seeds, fertilizer, and tools in your resource storage building and they will pull from there if you prefer 🙂

[@noahbutler1020]

Is that a Christmas version of “I got 5 on it” in the background 😂😂

[@ximpjeh]

Still missing some information I was hoping to get. How many villagers do you need per field? Or how many plots can one villagers handle? Do I need one shed? Or multiple? How many plots are needed to feed x amount of villagers?

[@SirJayWalker]

At least 2 villagers can work on 1 field at a time, but they have to be doing separate tasks, so it might be better to have many small/medium fields instead of a few big fields. I have around 110 plots and 2 farmhands and they finish the fieldwork well before the season ends. I don’t have an exact number on how many plots a villager can finish in a season, but I don’t think you need multiple sheds, since u can have up to 4 farmhands in one shed. When I had 1 farmhand, they weren't finishing the 110 plots in the 3 days they had, so I had to help finish up on the last day. If you want to feed your villagers purely off of farms (or cabbages for this example), I think you need an average of 6.5 plots per villager to feed them throughout the entire year, assuming you plant the cabbages once a year and keep them in food storage. You can get a lot of food out of the hunting lodge & animal farming, so I would stack them both up for extra food throughout the year. With my hunting lodge, eggs from chickens & geese, and my plots, I have more than enough food to feed my village (my village pop is 71 atm) Hope this helps!

[@ximpjeh]

@@SirJayWalker but lets say I have 100 plots. Can one villagers handle that in a season? Also. How many farm sheds do you need per field? Or is that unlimited? Thanks for the answers.. it boggles my nind

[@josephjohnson6626]

How long is your season? You can set it from 3 to 30 days long. If they cant finish make the season longer.@@ximpjeh

[@Thejb6490]

@1:32 and I have my answer. You sir, are beautiful.

[@matthewcruett5061]

How do I get the farm layout in a perfect square

[@SirJayWalker]

Farms align with the compass axis, so you have to start creating the farm facing either North, South, East, or West. Unfortunately, you can't rotate farm plots

[@Byakko37]

Hey so I’m just starting out and I can’t get my farm to be straight like your. It goes diagonally and I’m playing on a ps4 it that help. Please help me what am I doing wrong??

[@SirJayWalker]

Fields need to be aligned to the N/S/E/W axis of your compass. Unfortunately, you can't rotate fields.. hope this helps!

[@spudsdj8384]

I have 4 fields 2 Rye/oat and 2 flax/cabbage/ rye

[@SirJayWalker]

Awesome! 🙂

[@jayzero4206]

Do you get points in farming if a minion does it for you?

[@SirJayWalker]

If your farmers work, they will acquire tech points along side you, which unlocks recipes and new buildings. Villagers don't help you gain the skill points you assign in your skill tree, though. Those are only gained through your own actions.

[@elilimiblis5207]

Flax and Oats should yield seeds after threshing. Or at least should, because that's the whole reason why you thresh flax, grains and oats.

[@CaptainMarci104]

?? They already do.

[@eric123426]

Dude the seeds are literally the grains. Lol

[@khrisp859]

Would love to join you on multiplayer when its available.

[@SirJayWalker]

Could be a fun idea 🙂

[@darksiders18]

how did you rotate your farm?

[@SirJayWalker]

Not sure what you're talking about, sorry. Can you provide a timestamp?

[@darksiders18]

like when I start my farm field I cannot rotate them like how the game lets us rotate a house. @@SirJayWalker

[@SirJayWalker]

@darksiders18 oh I see what you're saying. So the farms are set to align with the axis of the compass at the top of your screen (North South East West). Sadly they cannot be rotated 😕

[@darksiders18]

That is weird, why did the developers design it like that.

[@SirJayWalker]

@darksiders18 Couldn't say. In my most recent village video, I had to plan my farms ahead of time, so that they aligned with the main roads because they didn't align with my last village 🥲

[@Nephilen2030]

What about wheat ?

[@SirJayWalker]

Wheat is good if you want to create bread or flour, but I don't usually need the bread, and I make flour using rye, so don't plant it often. Doesn't mean you can't though!

[@Obsidianoak]

I have not tried Sengoku Dynasty because I am a skeptic for new games as of late and i was not particularly drawn to it as i thought i would be. Ive watched some videos and read the reviews - just not hitting the mark for me. I would say if you like making guides for game like this or want to play it on your own check it out but wait for a sale. For me the ranking is: Medieval Dynasty #1 head and shoulders, Sengoku #2 and the WIld West Dynasty is just not in the running. Would not recommend even some content creators i like i was not able to watch for that game.

[@SirJayWalker]

I am scared to touch WWD at the moment lol. I might make another video on Sengoku soon, but yea, none of them compare to Medieval Dynasty

[@muffinkmakpeng676]

Nice video sir plus I did pay your tax so don’t arrest me 😁😁😁🤣

[@SirJayWalker]

Thank you 💜 I'll let you go this time 😆

[@squirrelattackspidy]

What I find crazy about this game is that the AI is supposed do to the work, but you need to supply all the tools which break, for them to do the work. And you aren't notified if the tools are broken. You have to keep on checking. Seems like that with every industry building.

[@SirJayWalker]

An anvil icon will pop up if someone is missing something and it usually tells you in the building what they need. I wish it was a bit more organized in telling you which workplaces was in need of supplies tho.

[@CaptainMarci104]

In addition, you don't need to supply the tools. If you have a mine, workers will collect ores. In the smitty, they produce the tools with the ores and in the barn, the field workers will use the tools provided by the smitty. Everything fully automated, only the initial setup requires some manual input.

[@squirrelattackspidy]

@@CaptainMarci104 Thanks dude! Couple questions for you. With the well, do you put the empty buckets and water skins you buy or make in the food storage and the NPC's will fill those for you? And with the hunter lodge, if you hunt game yourself and put the meat in food storage, NPC's in the hunters lodge and kitchen will take the meat from the food storage and cook / dry the meat from that storage? And with the stone knives for the hunter. Do they go in general storage or in the box where their workstation is? Thanks!

[@joeclifford183]

@@squirrelattackspidy”empty buckets” are a resource and should be in the resource storage for a well worker to use and turn them into a produce of “bucket of water” which is automatically sent to the food storage when created by the well worker. When the villagers exhaust a bucket of water from the food storage it automatically gets sent to the resource storage as an empty bucket to be used by the well worker once again with a lowered durability.

[@cremedelamemesupreme1649]

Everyone should be able to get their own bucket of water. The idea of having a well worker is dumb. Yeah fill up a few buckets of water, what a hard days work! Everyone else working their asses off.
