I understand the need for sponsors, but this is by far my least favorite. Raid Shadow Legends is less annoying.

[@thatjeff7550]

RCE, I picked up this game due to watching you. One bit of advice I've discovered on my own is if you don't want to micromanage every single job, build your hauler huts like you have been but then set the job to the "low priority," which is one step below "normal." That way, whenever you need a beaver for one job but it's seasonal, a hauler will take it if you don't have enough beavers. This way, the haulers act as a buffer for workers so you don't have to micromange all the time.

[@half55-qo1tq]

You can do the same with scientists. It will give you loads of extra science during droughts and inventor huts aren't expensive to build

[@broklond]

I think he likes micromanaging jobs :D it's the engineer in him 😅

[@dashiellgillingham4579]

That’s a good tip

[@oasis_parzival212]

A common thing with RCE is he doesn’t use priority properly

[@Astraeus..]

Nah, if you've been watching you'd know he only has 2 ways to use priority. Either at the highest possible or paused, either one brought about by mild-serious panic as he's realizing he forgot something and/or something terrible is about to/did just happen and he's trying to fix it... All those other priority settings aren't used at all.

[@OmiGundam777]

Just want to make sure you're aware that irrigation barriers prevent all water from effecting the ground, so if you go overboard with them it would kill cropland.

[@RFDN0]

That is good to know. I was debating on doing so when I start a game hopefully this weekend.

[@traisjames2]

@@RFDN0 That is true for Irontails, for folktails its only bad water. JSYK.

[@azaheim7731]

You can mitigate that with floodgates. But there are things to keep in mind: 1. You need to micromanage which water to let go through (I use mods to automate them) 2. Bad water keeps permeating through the flodgate unless you make a pit (I'm not sure if below the floodgate would count or right after). But basically bad water works like water and permeates in decending levels of terrain which is only an issue for bad water if you manage properly the floodgate.

[@jase_allen]

@@traisjames2 Must be a recent change. Last time I used the barriers on Folktails, they stopped irrigation as well as contamination. Either way, the devs should update the description to specify what it's blocking.

[@xarin42]

@@jase_allen I think they did? the descriptions were right the last time I played which was the last beta version before this update.

[@jamopopper]

Great job using priorities AND having good priorities. I love that there are TWO coffee building!!

[@NetAnon]

Gotta love how much micromanaging Matt is doing. Pausing buildings then wondering why he does not have resources, never plants anything but oaks but wonders why he never has any logs, and builds tones of storage for things that might need three small storage piles. Truly an engineer.

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

Oaks are actually the most efficient source of logs, the problem is his tree planting area isn’t big enough. Also I don’t think he ever invested in any storage for logs, just for the stuff like planks and gears that consumes logs so he’s never built up a buffer.

[@NetAnon]

@@cathygrandstaff1957 The size of an oak forestry needed to ensure a steady supply of logs is space inefficient. In order to have a steady supply in a smaller space it is better to give up some efficiency.

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

@@NetAnon That doesn’t even make sense. More efficiency = more logs for less space.

[@marcalcantara1174]

​@@cathygrandstaff1957 max efficiency is actually depending on the area not the tree used. It would be where trees get replanted as they get cut (so you got like a row that grows, gets cut and replanted, then same happens for the next row and that keeps balanced) so in smaller areas the ones that grow faster are more efficient, in larger areas the slow ones are more efficient

[@marcalcantara1174]

​@@cathygrandstaff1957Basically max efficiency is not having to wait for the next log and having a constant supply

[@peopleseethis]

I always have a hauling post built that is set to the lowest priority job to be filled so that there is always a place looking for work if a random beaver doesn't have a job. They will come and go from that to fill other jobs as you pause or build new things, but they won't just wander doing nothing if you don't notice them.

[@lXlDarKSuoLlXl]

I tried doing something like that in my last playthrough, but it was pointless because I was basically micromanaging every beaver cuz I lacked so much workforce I had to partially disable (operating at half crew) some buildings to actually be able to get things done, since I lacked resources to sustain a larger population since I also lacked land... I tortured myself with my map and difficulty choices 😂😅

[@jase_allen]

@@lXlDarKSuoLlXl In those cases, you should be concentrating on just getting those resources. Set water pumpers to highest priority. Set farming and food production to 2nd highest. Use 2 farm houses, 1 set to prioritize planting and the other for harvesting. This allows both functions to happen at the same time, which maximizes crop yields. You only need 1 planter for every 2 or 3 harvesters. And if you're playing Folktails, build bee hives as soon as you can. They give the crops within their range a big production boost that lets you sustain a large colony with much fewer crops.

[@lXlDarKSuoLlXl]

@@jase_allen i know, that's exactly what I was doing but I still couldn't get enough to sustain more than 20 beavers for 16 days, I was low on everything because bad tides kept coming and 6 days wasn't enough to yield enough food with only 1 squad of farmers (1 planting 2 harvesting), but in reality, it was less than 6 days since the lake wouldn't clear in a single day but in 2-3 days (it's the thousand island map), I tried to diversify with fermenters but I also lacked wood, because, well, the pines couldn't grow cuz they died 😂 It was challenging as hell, I actually had to retry once since I got literally obliterated. I had to tweak the grace period with drought/tides length for at least 12 cycles, if you're in for a challenge, try it out😅

[@dechiara]

Matt, great job learning the priority system. Shmichael (and other editors), your video editing has always been great but gosh darn have I been losing it lately!! These videos are hilarious! I can see the hard work put into creating some awesome content. Glad I found this channel.

[@aldrea6506]

The way I get around dealing with pathing over the barriers is I use dynamite to get rid of the block of ground, put the barrier down in the spot the block of ground used to be, and then build a platform over it so that way the pathing is flush with the rest of the ground.

[@SmokeandSpirit]

Only issue with blowing it down one level is the badwater will flow right over it and irrigate the blocks past the barrier. I mean like its no longer a barrier if it isnt between your badwater and the land you dont want poisoned. So at least in this situation he'd have to blow out two spaces in and incorporate a levee. Really the devs should update levees to block badwater irrigation also since they now block irrigation. I assumed it did but just confirmed with a test that they do not block badwater seepage which seems quite silly. I mean hows badwater toxifying the land if levees are now watertight?

[@aldrea6506]

@SmokeandSpirit yeah, I learned that the hard way when I was first getting used to the bad water. If the path is crossing the water, I will put the barrier so that there is a block of ground in between the water and the barrier. I was super excited when I found out that the barriers don't have been right next to each other. They can be touching diagonally, and it will still block the contamination.

[@RoyCyle]

@12:07, YES! That's me. lol. So worth it.

[@blubbsblabbs2245]

I love the fact that Matt made up his mind early on that the badwater must be poop and won't be convinced otherwise 😂

This is where all the sewage from his Cities Skylines maps go.

[@lapisanyta]

8:26 there's no need to enable the replant function, you can get logs from dead trees anyway. That function is only useful when you have trees in the area that need to keep alive but usually don't want to cut down, like pine or mangrove trees. That said... Turned out Matt didn't mark any planting area on the mountain top from the beginning, so nothing for the forester to do anyway🙄

[@oscarmiranda9532]

Good job on the priorities Matt. Don't forget to plant trees on the top. They take a wild so the can start growing. Unplant trees spread, so maybe take advantage of that. Also you have to coffe makers. One is more than enough.

[@retbucket3119]

A great way to optimise the beaverorkforce is to always have an "extra" hauling post with employment priority at Very low, so any extra beavers just go there automatically :)

[@marcor815]

A small pat on Matt's back for the realisation at 16:10

[@benceacs1604]

Yes, he realized the tool exists, now he has to realize how to use it properly. Like selecting bigger areas with it and understanding what is the use of very low priority for long term planning.

[@Spriglithika]

I am so proud of you Matt. Prioritising decently!!

[@WickedEnigma1344]

RCE finally understands one of the many game mechanics. Now if only he could use it more often, and use it in his workplaces.

[@NicholasAHart]

@14:40 I would use the expolsives to keep water up there for the trees.

[@TK-11538]

“So many beavers looking for a job”. Still has most of his factories paused.

[@xarin42]

For cutting off the construction you can destroy the path a bit back from where you want to stop major construction works that are away from your colony (though make sure it is decently far back since they have a range they can work away from the path). Though even better for the Iron Teeth is getting the badwater dome on the badwater source first. then you can just stop the flow to do the construction. Also, what other people said about managing jobs automatically with priorities is good. The easy changes where you don't have to think hard are low or very low priority on haulers. Same for science and builder's huts, though those ones sometimes needs tweaking. And then very high priority for water. Sometimes you'll want to do high or very high priority on food production as well.

[@onepunchtocelebrate670]

lmfao, editor is amazing calling out matt on the coffee shenanigans

[@barrywilkinson8470]

Matt: *a drainage engineer* Also Matt: *floods everything*

[@IamHattman]

Would love to see this as an extended season. Also, great to see Mat finally using the build priority system correctly! For a next step, getting one hauling post at max priority with say 3 jobs, and then 1 or two other hauling posts at full jobs at lowest priority would be great. That way you'd keep all those unemployed beavers from sitting around doing nothing. You can do the same with extra builders huts and scientists as well. I'd put those on just low priority though.

[@boywithbrain7556]

5:30 You should build bridges over water as beavers will get contaminated during badtide as they have to walk through water.

[@Andyisgodcky]

I think a neat idea would be a 'gate' that used the old district crossing model, but you could close to prevent beavers from crossing into areas during badtides. Keep you from having to block it manually by either destroying structures or building

[@PHIL_DA_KRIL_TOOK_A_CHILL_PILL]

Genius

[@PhotonBeast]

In the meantime, destroying the path also works.

[@Andyisgodcky]

@@PhotonBeast its been my experience that paths arent absolure

[@PhotonBeast]

@@Andyisgodcky They aren't, but if you cut all connections and make sure that any work past the cut is far enough away, beavers are highly disincentived.

[@mordsythe]

I absolutely love the editor :) So glad he says what I’m thinking, lol

[@steichert4773]

After 6 seasons and a movie, RCE finally learns there are more priority settings than very high. Like an architect planning a building work-flow without ever visiting the construction site.
