Farthest Frontier Colony Survival, Learning the Ropes

[@Korrath]

Just wanted to say a huge thank you. I've been dealing with an eye infection ( not serious just incredibly annoying and uncomfortable); your VODs have gotten me through a 48 hour period where I basically couldn't use my eyes. Thank you, kind sir, for helping me keep my sanity.

[@fr-joey764]

So you looked the videos in braille ?

[@Korrath]

@@fr-joey764 My ears were unaffected.

[@CosyMatt]

If that’s true how can you see to type? 🤔

[@HowIsPastaccioliTaken]

What if instead of unfounded cynicism we supported our fellow AA lover This sounds absolutely terrible, glad to hear it's not serious and finished I hope!

[@Korrath]

@@CosyMatt I had a clogged pore in my left eyelid. This kind of thing usually comes from dry eyes + allergy season. It can cause the sudden sensation of stabbing pain, usually while you sleep. This time was bad I had throbbing pain whenever I blinked my eyes for 2 days after. I had to keep my eyes shut for about 48 hours, except for short, peek a boo looks, where I would brace myself to, say, load a VOD on my phone. Also, had to keep both eyes still, as the movement would irritate the lid ( you move both eyes in tandem ). Long boring explanation ended.

[@matthi5146]

My dad used to sow clover in between winter and summer crops. I think it has to do with ground fertility & crop rotation. Also used as food for our rabbits :)

[@matthi5146]

@らてちゃん Thank you :)

[@hanskover]

​@らてちゃん Is it actually used in modern agriculture?

[@ianallen738]

Clover is a nitrogen fixer (symbiotic bacteria in the roots do the work) and it releases this nutrient into the soil throughout its life. You don't have to kill it to release it, and doing so will stop further nitrogen fixation as the symbiotic bacteria will die. @@ratecyan

[@sushijones]

Clover is a flower! It's also naturally sweet, so grazing animals love it - to the point where they can get tooth decay from eating too much. Bees love it too, so if this game has beekeeping it might boost that!

[@krunchy1736]

I love how at the start of these types of videos you give us a view of what a few hours in looks like and then start a brand new map after your intro. Also I hope someday the stars align and I can catch your streaming some time!

[@twinuality]

AA is my favorite gaming channel. You're so chill, but fun and educational. You could literally turn this into a podcast format and I'd still listen. Like literally just listen to you game. I just love your channel that much man.

[@Sturmensky]

Earlier today I was thinking about how awesome it would be if you did some Farthest Frontier. It's brutal, unforgiving, and you can't help but laugh at some of the ways your town inevitably dies. Definitely hyped to see more!

[@eternalrogue832]

1:19:22 You could have learned it from watching Fight Club, assuming you watched it which I believe you mentioned in another video. They talk about it when they are getting all of the fat to start the soap company.

[@RuffianTux]

This game puts me in mind of Banished meets Age of Empires and I am all about it.

[@MaaanImDead]

You're vods are the best to click on while playing a game, whether it be the one your playing or a different one, something about your voice is so calming

[@RhinoGBF]

I ended up buying this game because of this vod. It’s incredibly fun and thank you very much for introducing this to me!

[@Spoonishpls]

Wow, what a professional, non-Zoomerish intro! No smooth Sigma boys here, no sireee

[@SgtCandy]

1:10:38 Here we witness the antithesis to Torsolo, Torsono. Also earlier that first animal attack the guy involved almost dies and goes inside to chop wood lmao

[@vestr5853]

Holy moly. I was walking outside with headset in when the thunder came at 00:20. I thought it happened in real life and shat my pants

CRATE ENTERTAINMENT?! You mean the guys who made Grim Dawn? Fuck me, I'm gonna try this for sure!

[@XACIREMA]

Forgot all about Grimm Dawn! That game was sick!

[@naturalbornpatriot6369]

As a kid? I love LotR even more so as an adult than I thought I did in my childhood.

[@abopeakhour]

You had me at battle for middle earth

[@EspressosWork]

Reminds me a lot of banished. I had such a hard time with that game I stopped playing colony games.

[@Oscuros]

Daddest Frontier. That's why we don't use "Dadder" anymore, it's archaic, like in Tolkien, so we just use further for both a figurative as well as literal distance as a comparative or superlative.

[@eric9822]

Really? Sir, your lighthearted approach to videos and the lighthearted theme of Tropico seem like they were made for each other. It seems like content that writes itself. In my head right now, I swear I can hear your lets-play of Tropico.

[@yourmusicguru]

I grew up on a farm. Deer do, in fact, eat everything in their path. Fortunately they just so happen to be tasty animals.

[@planescaped]

About time Banished got a sequel...

[@FRYEM-or1]

I never new you could move the berry bushes, I am floored having learned this lol. Also if you ever get the chance to try out the Dungeon Keeper series I would love to see a play through of those! I think you might enjoy it if you’ve never played them before.

[@billbrydon3725]

Just judging from other games like this, but you might want to watch how far apart you build things, and you peeps can spend a lot of time running back and forth from work to storage (like your hunter). That would be the main benefit, I'd think, to moving berries, and making the trees in your orchard close together. Seems like you might have needed another well out at the end of the main street for those houses. And, yes, it's apiary like ape. What I don't get is that your wood seems to have two sub-resources, planks and firewood. Is there a way to balance what is turned into what? Is that just based on the number of people allocated? It would be nice to be able to say, split this 40% firewood and 60% planks.

[@Sturmensky]

The nice thing is that you can reposition everything except the town hall, farms, and (I think) walls - and it's free-of-charge! So placement is definitely vital, but at least you can adjust things somewhat to maximize efficiency or other metrics you want. Recently moved my entire industrial center to better segregate it from what I wanted to be residential (gotta pump that desirability!)

[@Izithel]

@@Sturmensky if you really want you can use the clear tool to remove the townhall and rebuild it, but you have to upgrade it again as well.

[@Sturmensky]

@@Izithel Oh snap, thanks! The terrain that helped protect me in early-town worked against me as my town grew - forcing it to extend far to the east, and leaving my hall close to what's now the western walls. So I've been very sad at my early decision. ...provided I can survive the 98-man army that insists on arriving this summer and trying to ransom my safety (12k gold to not attack?! Ahh the pain of success), I'll definitely move my town hall!

[@hanskover]

It was really hard to look at all that months worth of fish spoiling while the fish population was destroyed by overfishing. (No hate by the way. Besides that it was very relaxing to watch ;)

[@Maddogzg]

Back to ye old medieval times ambiguous milord thank ye (and I'm first ye naives)

[@lagunasunrise2596]

Perhaps check out Songs of Syx? Not even necessarily for a video, just for yourself. Kind of a diet dwarf fortress with some bannerlord-style army mechanics, but overall very early access and only being made by one guy I believe

[@VirtualHolocaust]

[@Phia230]

I love watching this types of game but omg I suck playing it myself

[@HeiligerGrimmnir]

Smooth boi will lead the way!

[@kalzakath57]

Is this the same Crate entertainment that made Grim Dawn? Because if so that's awesome! Art style seems very similar.

[@Sturmensky]

It is! Which also means you've got some wonderful devs behind this game. Over on their forums, they're already asking people how they use different resources, so they can make more interesting, useful, and relevant Tier 5 buildings.

[@Sturmensky]

@らてちゃん Great game! Recently began a new playthrough with some buddies. Warden/Purifier/Saboteur run. Trying to avoid class overlap so the loot can flow more freely.

[@MastaDJMax]

This game seems to share some ideas with Towns.

If you want to get back into Battle for middle earth you should look up the Age of the Ring mod, super cool with updated graphics and many many other changes :D

[@dabada110]

okay Ambiguous, seems like farming in this is pretty close to rl farming. maybe as an easy set up on a field you could go (clover - root veg - beans/peas) and play around from there because rl farmers use cover/legumes to put nitrogen back in the soil for the root veg but yeah hope this helps?

"an emphasis on food growth and preservation" - can't preserve beans, peas, or cabbage

Growing clover as a food crop....that'll end well.

[@michaelglover9214]

First 30 seconds: so its a bug ridden alpha that NO ONE has access to anyway.

[@layneblair7934]

"Borrow," it. 👀

[@Sturmensky]

As someone who's got 90 hours into the public alpha, I'll say the vast majority of bugs are inconsequential. They've been quick to stomp on the biggest bugs. The devs are a small indie studio that's genuinely responsive and caring for their community (their last game got 4 years of free content updates with only a few paid things) so are worth supporting. But... if you don't want bugs, it's always better to wait until after early access.
