your money is increasing because they bring their own money when you invite them to the colony and once in the money circulates you can build a mint to make money. Takes copper to make pia and also gold.

[@SaiakuNaSenshu]

Also the upgrade that makes Citizens Savings go into the city savings when they die is a good way to cut down on extra citizens and bolster the individual wealth of each citizen and the City

[@rupertbear4447]

@@SaiakuNaSenshu nice but a bit dark i'm trying to keep them alive

[@GrindThisGame]

Which upgrade is that?

[@TaliyahMC]

When you click on the bed to add a rat to it, when you click on the rat it will tell you on the bottom of their panel if they get negative happiness from sleeping in beds...some of your rats are pretty unhappy....could be why they are criminals?? Not sure, just a thought...(loving this playthrough btw)

[@GrindThisGame]

All the floorers are not in beds now.

[@MisterZealot]

Winter is coming.. think I haven't said anything in ages here, sooo.. yeah. Engagement for the youtube gods I guess... speaking of winter, loving this series Wintermute. 😊

[@GrindThisGame]

I'm glad you're enjoying it.

[@dominikapapierska102]

If you demolish background of the big tree, you get additional piece of lumber, so if you want to build inside of this tree, it might be good to demolish background first. I enjoyed episode very much, awaiting next ones :)

[@GrindThisGame]

Thanks for the tip.

[@gaming_bigfoot]

Your vids on this were the encouragement I needed to pick up the game myself, but _why do they refuse to be entertained_

[@GrindThisGame]

Which building?

[@cfalde]

Really liking this game. Might end up getting it. I don't remember if you did before, but Timberborn and Clanfolk have had updates to their games that change some things.

[@GrindThisGame]

I might revisit Timberborn.

[@maastroff]

It looks like you're continually making bags out of the leather (I think I saw like 30 or more in the inventory). That would explain where all the bunnies are going without you having surplus meat laying around.

[@GrindThisGame]

I think I had a limit set but will double check.

[@HiddenKey]

as an owner of 4 rats IRL I love ratopia!

[@GrindThisGame]

Do they watch?

[@HiddenKey]

@@GrindThisGame Rats love ratopia! Wishing their cage was as robust as your colony. But they don't want to work.

[@PatrickGiorlando]

--Pretty sure criminals are related to happiness. I think your repeat offenders are under 40 happiness that you keep having. --Hitting "T" while in your build screen will favorite your item, helps when that screen starts getting crowded (It put the item to the top of the list). --Medibeds aren't what they sound like. I thought they were additions to the hospital but they are just single person beds that heal your assigned rat better. So it's not bad for you fighters. --Letting them do work is what pays them, for example building a royal item I think pays them 200 or something. --Unless you start at a lift station, they climb up like a ladder. So you would need a lift station on literally ever single area they could get on, especially if it's far down otherwise they'll be worn out from climbing a rope. --The normal size storage holds 40 different item types before it's full, yours almost there. I believe it's unlimited of that item but only so many types. --You can easily solo the rat spawns at this moment in intervals of attacking and resting IF you wanted to destroy them

[@GrindThisGame]

Thanks for the tips. If you take out the rat spawners.... do they come back later?

[@PatrickGiorlando]

@GrindThisGame they will respawn at some point somewhere else, yes. Like the next enemy you fight after you kill their spawn will respawn in the middle of some terrain and be fog of war again. Haven't see it happen in the base though. Always outside/underground

[@alexmcd378]

"They don't have to click it " 😂 Streamer brain strikes again

[@GrindThisGame]

What is this referring to?

[@alexmcd378]

@ just something that amused me. When you were figuring out the rails, you said "they don't have to click it" about the ratizens, when of course they can't click things. And I blamed it on streamer brain because doing live commentary is hard and makes you say weird stuff.

[@GrindThisGame]

@alexmcd378 oh yeah haha.

[@WhatsOnTheOtherEnd]

I have a guess about the route message. It appears after you dig out a block, like that snow. I think it’s a bit extraneous but just a notifier that a ratizen’s route has changed part way through and they’re just redoing the pathfinding.

[@GrindThisGame]

Sounds correct.

[@toasty_mcdanish]

it looks like your main chest is about to be full

[@GrindThisGame]

I build a few more later.

[@SaiakuNaSenshu]

If you're getting a route message easiest way to do it is just summon the Mouse to you if you didn't know you can teleport any Mouse to you you just got to look at the information in the statistics list

[@GrindThisGame]

That teleport is a life saver.

[@k_pufflz]

I haven’t finished the episode but does the grinder maybe need jungle boards not regular boards?

[@GrindThisGame]

Maybe? I can't recall now. I did eventually build it though.

[@Ghost-go4hs]

In the forge press on the bow and than E i think u equip that way

[@GrindThisGame]

Hmm ok. I thought the wardrobe was for that.

[@PatrickGiorlando]

@@GrindThisGame Yes, forge is all for your weapons/armor/jewelry for your queen. The wardrobe acts like a mirror in other games where you change your appearance.

[@zeocamo]

you pick a mission way back to build the Silviculture post

[@TheWalbs]

You wanted to build the pharmacy like 2 episodes ago 😂 research it already lol

[@GrindThisGame]

It does get built next time.

[@KyleRedfield-k3z]

Second!

[@mrbrigaming]

First 😅

[@GrindThisGame]

Is that your first first?

[@mrbrigaming]

@GrindThisGame No not really. 😁 I catch up on your videos all the time 😉

[@sagshah10]

For tax why don't you tax them on % of income instead of % of wealth? It seems greedy right now.

[@GrindThisGame]

I prefer this way. I could try on income instead.

[@zeocamo]

saving is your money in the top, they make money from work, they pay for WC, or having fun...

[@probablynotmyname8521]

Let the rats collect, dig and build. Your time is better spent exploring and issuing orders.

[@GrindThisGame]

Good idea.

[@probablynotmyname8521]

@GrindThisGame I've just been reading the guide. Apparently when you assign them tasks you have to pay them to do it which is why the money sign shows up when they dig/haul etc. That's the getting paid to do the job. Also check on your food, you may have a glut of food that the lower class can't eat.

[@GrindThisGame]

@probablynotmyname8521 I have a bit of the better good but almost all is wheat and meat.

[@probablynotmyname8521]

@ it seems that there is a strong class system in the game which can mess you up if you’re not careful. I think you’ve seen some of it already though with the music stand.

[@GrindThisGame]

@probablynotmyname8521 I've seen the classes. Not sure how it messes things up.

[@probablynotmyname8521]

Also ratizens searching for a route means they are looking for something to do. You can see them just stood there doing nothing.

[@GrindThisGame]

Hmm ok. More work coming.

[@PatrickGiorlando]

Usually when they're searching for route it's because they are trying to haul and can't get to it. That's been the case 95% of the time for me

[@SaiakuNaSenshu]

Just summon the rat to you from the rats details, that has a shortcut to, when you look at the alert

[@Azmodie1]

Great series, love every episode. Now to watch the next!
