We are of a like mind about building Root Cellars. Or Cold Rooms. But I make my Food & Perishables storage as a 9x15 Rectangle, and cross cut every 4th tile from one side to the other of the 9 tile width, then place Beam for support. And follow up with digging the rest out once beams are in. The Shelves are Ideal for storing 3 to 4 stacks, than a single tile holds too! 👍👍 Once built, I set the storage to High, as you do, and build other Shelves near the Eating area, set to Very High, so they get filled first, and Villagers don't suffer cold penalty going into ice box. hahaha. Do you also adjust the Quality for some Shelves, and Stockpiles? Clothing and Warfare I set to 56% & Higher and Quality to Good to Superior for Villagers. The Dumping stockpiles I set to 55% & Less for Dismantling for Resources. Quality is Any.

[@perafilozof]

@@OdeeOz Hi Odee Dillon and thank you for sharing your design and giving feedback on the video. Much appreciated. I also suggest to my viewers a single shelf in the dinning room (great hall) for quick food access. I must admit to have only recently started to use quality and durability options for stockpiles after getting that suggestion from my viewers. It's kind of a hard time to manage because of the chaining nature of clothing and armor durability. One battle or several seasons and I have to adjust the settings. But it is very useful to force bad and old items to a stockpile for deconstruction near a workstation.

Hi back with a other question, is there a way to keep my bees warm in the winter?

[@perafilozof]

@@somebodyontheinternet1090 Hi, there is a way to keep them underground, but I am not sure will you be able to fight the temperature. You can dig an underground room and open up just one top tile of that room to the outside. The game will consider that an open room but it will be underground and you can use braziers and touches to increase the temperature. You can see how this is built in this video:kzbin.info/www/bejne/ronMlHZ4h6yDbqc

This is a very nice guide for underground storage, thank you ^^ One thing i have noticed when i built my first one, was that if you do build walls around the entrance to your storage and then close it with a door, it effectively stops the heat from above going down into the lower section and made the area colder. Just an extra little tidbit ^^

[@perafilozof]

Hi and thank you for the feedback! Interesting you should mention the door and closing off the entrance. I have done this myself numerous times, but the developers have changed these mechanics a few times, so I am myself unsure anymore what affects what in the latest build of the game. I will probably have to redo all my guides once they have stopped chaining the game. BTW what do you like the most about it?

[@Hallreaver]

@@perafilozof Thank you for your reply ^^ I really liked the way you make the rooms, the way you set up each room for stability before fully digging out the room, it makes sense after watching it, but when i first did all this, i simply dug everything out without realizing that some parts would cave because of it xD I have only just recently bought the game after having it on my wishlist for a long time, as it went on sale i bought it as it looked like a lot of fun :)

@@perafilozof It's going nicely thanks. I've re-started a lot, after I learn a few ways to do things better each time, and this one is looking better. I re-watched your one on setting up ten settlers, which is lots of work, but worth it, and this second batch of settlers are fitting in well. I set up three shifts, so there are only 1/3 people wanting to use work rooms at once, and there's always a medic on call and someone cooking food. Distributing the skill sets evenly across the three shifts, as well as among the settlers, took longer than one hour. First four days they were all on day shift to get the basics out of the way, and when I put them on the different shifts, it was like shifting up a gear This one's only on day nine so there's a long way to go, but it's heading in the right direction. Thank you for helping me enjoy the game more with your helpful advice 🙂

[@perafilozof]

Hey, that is great to hear. Realisticly the 3 settler default start is good for learning the basics, but to build something really nice and enjoy the whole playthrough a custom start with 10 settlers is definitely the way to go as you can get so much done so much faster especially in the first years which make the difference.

Hello Q and welcome back. Currently that system is just a placeholder. The more you build and the more resources you have the more your influence grows. Gold raises it particularly. Enemy settlements in the range of that influence are supposed to attack you more often. And that is the extent of it.

[@PyroOfZen]

*EDIT: Ignore everything outside this paragraph. I did some testing. There is no significance between room sizes. A small room and a large room with identical insulation stats will have identical temperatures, even if they're completely isolated from one another (no temperature sharing or shared insulation calculations). Therefore, opening a door between rooms of differing insulation stats won't cause them to average each other out. In fact, they don't affect each others' insulation stats at all. However, opening a door between rooms will decrease the temperature of both rooms by a fixed amount, regardless of room sizes, contents, or insulation stats. I think it does so for the same reason that rooms are cooled by the mere existence of windows, which is most likely just a set subtraction from the room's temperature for every open door and window attached to the room. Nothing wrong with that aside from the possible exploits, but it voids everything I said below.* I think room separation as we know it might be irrelevant to insulation in this case. Like, a closed door could effectively be a wall sealing two adjacent rooms from each other, but an open door is like having no block in that space at all, making the adjacent rooms one big room (outside of the room type and separation mechanic, which could easily be handled separately in the code). If this is the case, it would explain why a closed door heats the room, because I highly doubt the devs implemented an actual air circulation mechanic. If the adjacent room has a lower percentage of unnatural tiles than the cold storage does, the cold storage temp would drop when the door between them is open. Likewise, the adjacent room's temp would increase. You would need to analyze both rooms during testing to be sure, but you were only focused on the temperature of the cold storage room. It's easy to assume this isn't the case since stairs don't seem to act as an empty space between the rooms they separate, but it'd actually be really easy to make such a contradiction in the code.

[@perafilozof]

Hello PyroOfZen. Thank you for such a great comment on this topic. From my previous experience with the game mechanic doors change room temperature solely based on their insulation properties which have different values when closed or open. As you said there is no air circulation in the game, something I mentioned in my fermentation guide which is also about rooms, doors and windows. So an open door vs closed doors directly impacts the rooms totally insulation % and that in turn moves the temperature up or down.

[@PyroOfZen]

​@@perafilozof Indeed, I just confirmed that opening a door specifically drops the wall insulation of the connected rooms. And I'm guessing wall insulation doesn't take into account the temperature of adjacent rooms, so a significantly warmer adjoining room wouldn't cause the cooler room to heat up or vise versa.

[@perafilozof]

Hi, thank you for the update and effort. As you saw windows and doors are like temperature switches, not a great gameplay mechanic at all.

@@Drefar No problem, enjoy!

[@ZimCrusher]

Still having issues. Maybe because of an update. last year I played, and everything worked. Now.. it's feels almost random. I was told the further you get from your entrance, the lower the temp. So you dig a stairwell, and make a long hall. The longer the hallway, the colder. I'm not finding that to be the case. In some areas, the further away, the hotter. I was told to check what is above ground. So if I have a Smelter on the surface, above the room, it will raise the temp. This makes sense, if you are on B1 or even B2, but when you are at bedrock (B4), it shouldn't be affecting, right? I have a room with lots of shelves, and a single limestone path. The lowest I can get the temp is 2.1. this is at B3, and so I dig a slopped dirt path down to B4. I didn't want to use stairs because of the insolation hit. Going down one floor, the new empty room is 3.5 C. Adding a door (open) brings it to 4.0 Even with 6 blocks of ice, it is still warmer then the floor above. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I was also told that a single stairwell acts like a single room, and it will average it's temp, so a single stair that goes from the surface to B4, will heat the bottom floor.... so... I now have stair... hall.. (open door)... stair.. hall... open door.. until I reach the bottom, but it's not THAT big of a difference. In fact, B3 is warmer than B2. Like I said.. it's just seems random.

[@perafilozof]

Have you taken the insulation values of the terrain and your materials into account? Different terrain pillars and different materials have different insulation values, meaning they let the heat transfer more or less.

[@mauromigliavacca1263]

Although I can't play unfortunately for many reasons, obviously the underground aspects fascinate me. Therefore I will ask some targeted questions, to understand. Does making a bigger access, and a narrow one as you built it affect the cold that then occurs in the subsoil? One consideration, but I don't know if it's technically feasible. If the food shelves are built on a wooden floor, for example, and the areas where the settlers move are built with stone or brick, what thermal insulation does it take? The majority one in the room or the one where it is located? Earth walls I know are the best in terms of insulation, although those made of clay alone are very good. Also, during the winter you make ice on the surface, but if you create a room underground where all the ice is placed in an initial phase to lower the temperature as much as possible, then ice is produced all year round? (obviously by establishing that the ice warehouse of that room is set to high priority). If so, it would be a Freezer cell to continuously create ice with a dedicated person working at full speed on ice production. I hypothesize. Also, can't ice be put on shelves? Does it drill in the warehouse areas on the ground? Only there? It would be great if the developers solved the storage space problem. You pass the realism, but in fact it is a bit exhausting. Anyway great video and well done, practically you are my constant refresher course for the game, waiting for a new PC XD Thanks for the video!

[@perafilozof]

Hi Mauro, so from my experience these would be the answers to your questions: 1) Entrance hallways to the underground don't affect the temperature underground because stairs act as room separators. So they stop temperature spread as well. 2) Since wood floor tiles have the insulation of 0.94 you would still be losing some insulation compared to the natural ground. 3) You can lower the temperature inside and underground close enough for ice block making but it won't last long in spring and summer as the temperature will go above the -1 degrees 4) No, there is no option to put ice on shelves I hope you will be back to playing soon!

My memory was failing me slightly: I'm not sure I actually get above 5°C (in Spring I was around 3°C, a few per-mile more without the ice), the main change was that now decay starts (slowly) at 0°C, the 5°C threshold doesn't exist any more. Also I couldn't get the detailed information about the insulation and heat bonus/malus of the room: I think the temperature computation changed deeply at some point, probably when water was added (I thought about adding an underground aqueduct in my basement btw, but I have never tried)

Question: does putting windows underground change anything? I find game mechanics to be fascinating

[@perafilozof]

Interesting question. Considering how the game current works, on one had you will lose lots of insulation by switching an earth wall pillar for a window, so that will mess up the temperature but opening the window will lower it due to how windows work like temperature switches. I just not sure what the end result will be coolder or warmer. But I think warmer, and also wouldn't be to surprised if it becomes coolder but that will depend on what does the window open onto. Also there might be issues with stability above the window. Not sure does it gives as much stability as a wall section.

But if that is the cause, 8*8 underground rooms dont have much use. Anyone know why ? Regards.

[@perafilozof]

Hi, I had occasional problems with this myself. From what I remember it was always when I dug rooms above or below other rooms I have dug. The stability gets bugged and you lose the natural layer due to that bug in a cave in. I think I fixed it by never digging under anything that was already dug.

[@jensjensen7504]

Hi, mods are not really a thing for this game yet as there are no active modders and the developers do updates so often mods stop working really fast.

[@place_there9104]

What drives me crazy with underground builds is trying to build a staircase. Settler will drop some clay or limestone under the area while mining so I have to build a wooden staircase to reach that area. Once the clay or limestone is cleared the wooden staircase can't be replaced with something better because the settlers will drop the recycled wood exactly in the area that prevents better than wooden staircase construction. Would it be too much to ask for the settlers to just take the wood away when they deconstruct a staircase? The only solution now is to dig another exit staircase so settlers can actually get to the area where the wood needs to be removed before replacing the staircase. I always put a beam in the airspace on top of each underground staircase. Not strictly necessary but I think my settlers would feel safer knowing the earth above the staircaase won't collapse on them. I found the 5x6 underground dig led to instability in the center, but that was several updates ago. I'll have to experiment again to see if that now works. It's pretty frustrating how stability still works. I put some underground facilities beneath my main settlement building yesterday. Up on top is a basic wooden roof tile structure just covering my outdoor kilns and production facilities, a temporary solution until I can build dedicated production areas. Several wood roof tiles collapsed after I dug the underground area. I'll have to demolish the entire rooftop shelter to reconstruct the wooden pillars to regain stability.

[@perafilozof]

Hi Place_There, you will be happy to know that you CAN now build other types of stairs besides wooden ones on top of remaining resources. It was a surprise to me too, as it wasn't in the patch notes. Quite the stealth change.

Yeah, it's a running problem with how the game's engine calculates stability. Whenever you dig under someplace that has already calculated it's stability for built, dug or natural elements it has a big problem recalculating the stability as you change the levels below it. So what is best is to always dig from below, from the lowest level and only then build on the surface, above the dig area. Of course this is not in line with gameplay flow, which is why we all run into this problem so often.

I tend to dig one hole at a time to stop settlers dropping minded resources on a square that is also being mined. Or make sure you haul away dirt/stone immediately.

[@perafilozof]

Yeah, that is the only way to make sure resources don't fall into holes.

[@place_there9104]

@@perafilozof material often drops if you have mixed soil since part of it ends up in an area that can be reached while the other half drops in the hole. Also, I do try to stay on top of hauling but sometimes the last little bit the settler digs will drop in as well. Been having problems with settlers dropping themselves into bigger pit digs since the last few patches as well.

I have no idea how to ask this but I was wondering how to stop milk from being used to make meals. I want to use them to make curdling milk but they always gets used for meals instead in the campfire

[@perafilozof]

When you open up the campfire menu, there is an extra icon which expands into a checklist. Uncheck milk

Hi Mrs or Mister and thank you for posting that extra bit of info. It's always appreciated when players share with others in my video comments section.

What I would like to find out is how to keep them from using the barries to make pies and only use barries to make the wine. I have them make wine, but they would rather make pies and die of thirst. Stupid villagers

[@perafilozof]

Hi Mike, in most workstation, you have an EDIT button. When you press it it opens up a new menu where you choose which material to use for making items. Disable berries at cookfire or hearth, and others and only enable them at fermentation station or brewing station.

[@mikeburgess1688]

@@perafilozof OMG... is it really that easy? Thank you so much. I cannot wait to get back on the computer now!

[@perafilozof]

@@mikeburgess1688 Yeah, don't worry we all had that Eureka moment at some point:)

[@BlackRedDead1943]

huh, could it be possible to make an good isolated ice room with intermediate storage, thus keeping temperatures below freezing point and produce ice all year round?

[@perafilozof]

I believe people have tried. But I don't remember anyone succeeding, at least not in previous versions of the game that I played. Not sure about now, haven't played in a year or more.

[@squirrelattackspidy]

Holy crap this is confusing . I got lost at the three floor tiled below first staircase. There's a staircase already in that spot (the first staircase). How do I put floor tiles in a spot already occupied by the staircase?

[@perafilozof]

You dig a 3x1 trench next to it. Than you use the layers camera to go down half a layer and see the ground under the stairs and lay out 3x1 floor tiles below it.

[@squirrelattackspidy]

@@perafilozof Thanks dude. So you can actually dig under the stairs you just laid down? I didn't realize you could do that. They should call you the Going Medieval Professor! :)

[@perafilozof]

@@squirrelattackspidy hehe, some probably do. Yes, you can dig under them, but only after placing the floor tiles I mentioned under them. They have to stand on those.

[@MrDidz]

Did you dig right down to the granite layer before starting to buld your cold Cellar? I just did that but then the game wouldn't let me build anything on the baselayer of the game. Should I just go up a level??

[@perafilozof]

Hi, it is possible that an update since I made this video prevents players from using the granite level.

[@MrDidz]

@@perafilozof Actually! I worked this out in the end and it was necessary to go up a layer. Not because you can't build on the Granite layer, you can, but because you cannot select anything when you are on the base layer. It just looks like a featureless empty grid and the mouse has nothing to click on. I went up to 1.5, or 2.0 and then managed to click on the darkness at the base of the final stairwell and select the first wall section to dig out. After I'd made that hole it became easier to select other wall sections to expand the cellar.

Funny how I keep making airlock door even if the door cause heat, I guess that what happened watching someone play Rimworld huh? XD

Probably :) Welcome to my channel Yashida! You can learn many more useful tip like that in my full playlist on Going Medieval: kzbin.info/aero/PLRYGjguAn0CF9g2QAQz0qSRDZph6r8bUt

Oh sorry about that, no icon next to your name. Your subscriptions are probably set to private. I try to keep a mental record of my commenters. Lots of subs but comments are not as numerous. I hope you will enjoy many more videos. What do you watch the most of on my channel?

Mostly Going Medieval, well I don't watch all of it cuz I ether watch guide vid, silly vid, or interesting chemistry vid.

@@yashida1999 Cool, good to know. I have several Going Medieval videos in the works. More like 10 but can't release them all at once :)
