Banished Top 10 Tips and Tricks

[@MG_SW]

let me tell you one thing that killed on of my thriving towns of 100+ people so anyone reading doesn't make this mistake. build schools early on. most people dont want to sacrifice the extra labor but BELIEVE me it is worth it, educated laborers are twice as productive which means an annual food income of 4k would become 8k with educated workers. as for what killed my town? well I ran out of stone on the map and, being unlucky with traders, I desperately needed stone to expand. opened up a quary, and seeing as I didn't use any schools in that town (I was new to the game) the un-educated workers all got crushed by falling rocks in just a few seasons!!! didn't produce enough stone to expand. population stagnated and after my food producers died of old age with nobody to replace them my village faced mass starvation and that was the end of that. so my major tip: BUILD SCHOOLS EARLY. you'll double your production rate and, when the need for stone, iron and coal rises, you're much less likely to lose your educated workers to falling rocks

[@koldaussie]

Oh, that might explain something. The one thing I don't like is how you don't find out about your people dying of old age until you have nobody left working LOL.

All my population died of old age without making any babies at all... kind of sucked since that was being the first match that my city survived for more than 3 years...

[@nenram.5786]

Mine was a freaking tornado hit the outskirts of my town. My population dwindled and my food source was gone. Worse was the cemetery got full in an instant. People got depressed really quickly.

100% right i say by 50 pop 100 at the most you need smart work! Lol

[@cjbotts]

a blacksmith before first winter? why? you have enough tools to last at least 3 winters to start

[@TheFPSTech]

agree, a tailor should be built instead. if your citizen are freezing thats game over, they're just going to stay in the houses and no move or do anything

[@melonlord5026]

Agree, it's better to built tailot first

Not if playing on hard mode. You'll start running out of tools very quickly.

I would also suggest getting a market place relatively soon. This prevents citizens from stockpiling everything in there homes.

[@shadwghst9998]

this is a very old video so lots have changed with this game. before u had to build enough houses off the bat to keep every one warm. now u can get away with one house early because everyone will go to that one house to get warm that way u can focus on other buildings then make more houses.

[@tomdeming]

I find it easier starting on medium vs easy. medium has no houses built. I place production buildings around my supply building/stockpile and then build the houses a little ways away. I then build multiple supply nodes like this and place a market in the middle with the houses surrounding. seems to work so far

[@ralphinator2]

I put the market in the middle, then fields and orchards beside it, then the houses. Also the brewer should be right beside the market.

i have 1500++ population because of the trading post and 150+ herdsman who provides me with thousands of wools to trade with food, steel tools, warm coats, firewood and so many...

[@melonlord5026]

I actually disagree with building blacksmith first. For me, it's better to build tailor to keep my citizens warm. With no tool they're work is less productive but they still work but when ther are freezing they just doesn't do anything

[@williamyoung8756]

DO NOT build a foresters lodge with a herbalist! Herbalist gather from old tree and foresters lodge will chop down these old tree the herbalist needs.

[@SiMalaya]

WIlliam Young well, i find it actually useful. for certain theres a random moments where trees just fall down. so i disabled the chop down of the forester so it just keep planting.

[@williamyoung8756]

@@SiMalaya That is true, you could have it plant only.

[@jeffreyshaun6779]

That's wrong

[@fortunacalls1484]

If you set your foresters lodge to only plant trees it works well with a herbalist. :)

[@shadwghst9998]

@@SiMalaya i have a gather , hunter , herbalist, forester in all my forestry hubs also 2 barns an 2 woodcutters and 8 houses for the workers. works great for me

[@crazyjaybe]

I can tell you right now that hunting post doesn't need a lot of privacy. I have one snuggled in with a lot of buildings and it's doing just fine.

[@williambarnes5023]

The deers aren't scared by population. It's just a rumor. I leave a 1 tile border of grass around everything I build. Every house, every road, every stockpile. Spacing out my buildings like this makes travel times slightly less efficient, but it also means I don't have to segregate my forest buildings. The entire town grows in forest, and the deer walk among the people with hunters chasing them and gatherers plucking mushrooms.

[@crazyjaybe]

@williambarnes5023 and here we are still talking about Banished lol

[@AnywhereOrBust_]

This video should be called: "If you are not clinically dead, then you should be able to manage these 10 obvious things."

[@standardcake18]

Tip #11, never remove a storage barn. As in my case of losing 80 citizens, leaving food in baskets in the field, and all citizens coming down with a case of overburdened apathy

[@iwillroam]

put a forester right next door to your gatherer - set it to plant trees only - let it run until your gatherer is getting around 2,000 food, then cease operations at the forester and the gatherer should slowly start increasing to between 3,000-4,000 food per year and for several years after that. the second part of this is important - put a barn and 2 stone houses and a well right next to the gatherer. then put diagonal roads from the gatherer hut, going outward to the ring (hold shift when putting roads down to make them diagonal). this way they never leave, home is right there, they idle at the gatherer hut. when production falls off, plant more trees. farms are not as efficient. my 4 gatherers get ~3,500-4,000 food, which is enough for 8 people.

[@DocHollidayGames]

Why would you encourage wasting resources on a blacksmith so early? Not a good way to get started at all!

[@johnrichardson9074]

well if you can get to a point where you build a town hall, large populations are easy to manage. however I have discovered that if you demo building on an infected feild you can replant with an orchard and get trees going in the same season, that way your population boom is not as screwed.

[@nathandaniel5451]

Personal tip: FILL THE MAP WITH TRADING POSTS! literally, With a lot of trading posts and woodcutters you don't need farms are gatherers huts. You can auto purchase food and wood (still I recommend many foresters (just in case). That is how you reach 1,000 + population... late game don't fear rebuilding your town in order to start relying on trading posts. watch a video of someone having 2k+ population and you'll see how they set up their woodcutters.

got a question concerning Banished ..I just placed a milking barn , and realize I need 12 domestic animals..now I got all types of animals ..My question is why isn't my milking barn finishing up building..it stopped at domestic animal..how do I get my animals from the pen into the milking barn..thanxyou

[@iwillroam]

also get wool and leather and start making and selling coats. set the trader to get 9999 coats. set them to auto purchase all 4 groups of food. goal is to make so many coats that you can just buy 70%+ of the food you need.

[@jodihouts6032]

Not a good starting plan unless you're on easy mode. #1. Gatherers next to storage. Efficiency has more to do with storage than with placement. #2. Woodcutter. You should have the requisite amount of food and firewood in storage before building any houses. Otherwise they starve because they use all stock to stock up new homes. #3. One house, you can get an early baby #4. Hunter, start stockpiling hides #5. Storage barn if working with a cart/forester if working with barn. Number should be stockpile if you don't start with one. Alternate food, wood, human resources (houses, schools, markets, graveyards, churches)

forester? I never need those until I hit around 100 or so people in the town.

bad tips

[@tryagain8003]

1 hunter per hunting lodge. You can only get 1 deer per lodge every 2 months, so having 3 hunters, 2 didnt get you anything. 3 lodges and 3 hunters, 1 each lodge you get 3 deer every 2 months instead of the 1 deer.

[@halorx9863]
