"I'm gonna move my furnace" demolishes furnace when ingot is at 50% and builds a coccoonery instead. Bemolishes coccoonery and builds something else entirely. Completely forgets that he doesn't have a furnace anymore.

[@GrindThisGame]

I replace it later :P

[@lChronosl93]

Putting beds and services close to the workstations is a great idea, that I am sure to implement on my next colony.

[@GrindThisGame]

Yeah it seems to help.

[@hardkur]

good luck micro managing 80 rats so they always have bed assigned next to work place

[@TheWalbs]

Those +gold the rats get from mining is their payment for mining (10,594 gold pool to 10,590 as second rat mined @36:34). Your gold goes down just as they finish mining the block and their personal wealth goes up. They also get paid for delivering to storage in same way.

[@GrindThisGame]

So no net increase in money supply? Someone else pointed out that new rats that join bring cash in their pockets which may be the main source besides trade.

[@PatrickGiorlando]

​​@@GrindThisGamenot really, it comes from trading and minting your own. (minting gets like 25 pia for bronze and 100 for gold). You get a little from recruits. But let's say you keep each rat around 250 gold in their pocket, we'll they only come in with like 300ish so you're increasing your net treasury by only 50

[@PatrickGiorlando]

You get access to a different currency called Dar and the value of your "pia" (which is your gold) and the Dar constantly fluctuate everyday so you can convert between them to use it's interest increase. For example at the beginning I think 100 Dar is like 1000pia

[@GrindThisGame]

@PatrickGiorlando sounds like a good way to make money.

[@PatrickGiorlando]

@@GrindThisGame if you find a city that trades bread for dar, that's a good way to increase your Dar

[@bobpieczarka4357]

I can't wait to see the Ratbench episode. Grind has been teasing it for every video!!

[@GrindThisGame]

haha. I'll try to squeeze it in next time.

[@MoonlitBrenya]

I'm still waiting for the devs to take a look at my Demo issue, so still not playing, but I'm an old school gamer, so for the past few days, I've had a notebook snd a graph ruled notebook in hand and am plotting out areas I can see through watching you and other Let's Plays, and my number one mission is to plan out my... get ready for it... ForesTree... see what I did there? LOL! I'm gonna put my logger guys IN the tree and have my tree planters up in the tree. I'm super excited lol.

[@GrindThisGame]

Fractal tree :)

[@jdanio7671]

When you take new rats into the village they have some money with them, i think that is the way the aount of money increased before trading

[@GrindThisGame]

seems to be.

[@TheWalbs]

From the first fight, it showed the spike traps firing constantly while they were stuck on the barricade. You should build 2 spikes then a barricade and repeat. It makes them stop and keep getting hit. Having a barricade first is not doing anything for defeating them. You definitely want this on the right side to fend off that spitter. Try 2 spikes next to the spawner and then your first barricade. Do those below that drop point so its getting hit before it jumps up to start spitting. Build some spikes right where it jumps up where it keeps sitting to spit attacks.

[@GrindThisGame]

@@TheWalbs great idea.

[@PatrickGiorlando]

-Increase your range on military buildings. -I use auto explore and just send the 1, especially bc even it takes a bit you often don't miss just 1 or 2 rats. -if he hit "t" while looking at a building you'll change the sort. For some reason it defaults to name but for work buildings you can change to efficiency. -I'm still only 13m in at this bullet point but the trading post is not the same as trading with other cities but it does rotate goods sold. You need a diplomatic office and purchase a trade route and another building that I can't remember the name of at the moment to trade with cities. -If you hold "E" on the trading post it will move items faster but be careful and notice top right the trading post current money. Will edit as a watch more.

[@GrindThisGame]

Thanks for the tips. Yeah holding "e" in trade is a big life saver.

[@TheWalbs]

I would say build 1 mini storage per level right next to elevator. That way each rat can get very quick access from center to any materials needed.

[@GrindThisGame]

I want to... but I need to change the filters for every item in every storage to suit the needs of the floor. Maybe a task for off camera stuff. Also a bit tedious.

[@TheWalbs]

​@@GrindThisGamedo you though? They deliver to closest chest from production so it should auto filter itself in a way. Just having it central by elevators will let them grab from any floor quickly.

[@hardkur]

you can destroy tombstones but new one will spawn , i think idea is have them spawned next to each other so you only get attacked from one side and then you can focus on defending one side . research and build royal blacksmith so you can upgrade weapon and armor . with higher tiers of prosperity opponents change , zombies get replaced by weasels and they much much stronger better be ready by that point .

[@GrindThisGame]

Sounds like fun. I have the royal blacksmith and a few upgrades. I took out a tombstone but it seems to regenerate in the same place quite quickly.

[@hardkur]

@@GrindThisGame tomb stones are not a problem , you can kill all zombies ez . weasels and seals that come after are much harder

[@toasty_mcdanish]

I feel like this game said, "Lets do all the things!"

[@GrindThisGame]

There is a lot!

[@mrbrigaming]

Enter those dungeons every episode 😂 it was fun

[@GrindThisGame]

@@mrbrigaming I should have tried fighting the bugs. I need armor and maybe an army.

[@theeutecticpoint]

wow, it can go sideways real quick!

[@graspienjo2850]

Can you train more than one rat in your training ground? when you look at them it says training finished. I've not played so i have no idea.

[@GrindThisGame]

I'm not sure but will look into it. I'm not sure they would stay active military if taken off the building but they do get stronger.

[@PatrickGiorlando]

No, each military facility is 1 rat only. You pick a job and for them to train. It takes a certain amount of time to train them, you can't use them until they're done training. That finished is essentially just saying you can use them.

[@otakufantic]

Forgot to rebuild ur furnace

[@petersencb]

he put it back in at ~ 56:00

[@GrindThisGame]

Yes

[@alexmcd378]

In my game I started with 20k gold. Which is paid to rats for every task they do. I think that's your total economy until you can bring gold in by trade.

[@GrindThisGame]

If you track money supply, it does creep up over time before trade.

[@alexmcd378]

@ oh, new rats have wealth in their pockets. I bet that's where the gold creep happens

[@GrindThisGame]

@alexmcd378 oh yeah! I see +gold when they mine stuff but haven't verified if that is added to the money supply.

[@alexmcd378]

@GrindThisGame there is also a minus gold when they use the bathroom. I think that's the individual rat's balance changing.

[@toddllane]

Good a simulation games .... Bad at platforming.

[@GrindThisGame]

True

[@keats90]

why do all the rats look angry and sad

[@GrindThisGame]

Do they? Some do...

[@keats90]

@@GrindThisGame maybe it's their concentration for their jobs idk, also Im curious what makes the criminals in this game a criminal.
