I Make Manor Lords BEAUTIFUL! - Manor Lords ep 3

[@TheOnlyL0nzY]

oh hi!

[@JLALALALA]

I started a new game this morning and went down the hunting dev tree into double meat and then trading. I also started with salt. It took a while but I finally was able to start making sausages. I think opening both of the hunting trees lets you set your hunting cabins anywhere and they essentially just keep producing meat. Oh and I also set the policy to double production since the land I’m in has no farming.

[@Bitokos]

Thank you for making these!

[@frankproper4718]

awesome video as always looking good, nice job😀😀😀😀

Played a couple of hours this afternoon and yes food is a lot more difficult now.

[@TheOnlyL0nzY]

I need to understand the spoil mechanics lol

[@penknight8532]

@@TheOnlyL0nzY You're not even making/storing enough food to worry about spoilage.

[@infomolerat]

@@pedrodefigueiredo7872 have you ever tried the skipping every 5th meal policy? I haven't... I should test it tho... I wonder how much approval tanks at demanding difficulty... 🤔

[@antonseoane9092]

You can use the policy that doubles animals breeding rate since youhave no crops,also setting more hunting camps will yield meat through trapping (At least it used to). Great video!

[@TheOnlyL0nzY]

The issue is in the deer replenishing. So, more hunters camps won't do much

[@masoncole8048]

Love this series!

[@jstokes]

Enjoyed this episode!

I just started playing manor lords again. Ive got lucky and have a rich deposit of fish on my land.

[@PeterDay81]

All good fun sir.

[@GlassSpider]

I'm loving the series so far! I've not played Manor Lords for agood few months so I'm excited to pick it up again. Given the changes that have been made to food sources, is there anything you would have done differently in the playthrough with the benefit of hindsight?

[@TheOnlyL0nzY]

Yes, grow slightly slower, and rely on berries earlier. I fa zone has fertile farming, that early on will keep things happy

[@infomolerat]

I got good traction on eggs after 4 seasons and about 40 plots making eggs... until then they seem to disappear fast... but eventually i had a surplus

[@TheOnlyL0nzY]

interesting. I need more testing

[@JLALALALA]

Aiyah. 40 plots 😁

[@snakycake4790]

did you notice if it got better at t3? mine seem to be doing better now i upgraded the houses

[@infomolerat]

@@snakycake4790 oh... interesting... maybe they have a different spoilage rate or something... idk.. but it did get better late game

[@arasharashi-ux9ws]

excellent

[@snakycake4790]

I went for an agriculture route first as my lands were very fertile, managed to get crops sown before the first year was up too. I had a problem, i grew too fast too quick I barely survived the following year I had to buy meat sometimes lol Now the wheat farms feed over 150 people its insane how much bread i have and steady supply of barley and flax, malt was a bit buggy to get them making it i had to remove and replace the malt house a couple of times before they started making it for my brewer. it seems the chicken huts and veggie gardens are all kind of useless until you T3 your buildings. the sheep grazing policy which breeds them seemed good but damn its sloooow lol. ive now 13 so we'll see i guess. get lots before taking that one. i get a bit distracted with expanding sometimes but my next areas i have lots of iron north but west is two animals, one rich and two berries one rich lol i need the food variety bad so im going for it :) I also want the dyes more then iron right now, i am thinking horde strength over quality for now seeing as ive loads of food but and enough spears and bows for a legion until i am able to take the northern lands.

[@TheOnlyL0nzY]

yea, I have noticed the veg harvest are pretty much tripled per plot once upgraded. Not a big fan of that change personally as it seem scripted? Not sure if that's the right word and thinking.

[@infomolerat]

@@TheOnlyL0nzY the pantry capacity of the veg increases to 225 from 37... overproduction gets destroyed by the rain if left outside the pantry... so yeah the t3 veg plot will not only produce more with 4 families but also have more pantry space and the veggies grow faster after 4th or 5th year... apparently veggies got nerfed when they nerfed the forester huts 🛖 so they actually grow slower now! 😆 🤣 😂

[@infomolerat]

@@snakycake4790 that is quite a feat getting farming up first year... most recent run I had a fertile land plus rich animal deposit... too bad for the policy that nerfs farming but doubles meat lol... I still am undecided as to what to do regarding the meat but since I want to try sausage I figured I might turn on the policy later after I got a bunch of food going... meat can work with all policies and perks going but you need it all... sheep don't seem to help that much relative to demand and spoilage.... that is where sausage comes in I guess... but I haven't gotten to sausage yet... I went with farming on second year... I am playing a circle only run... each road has to be made from a perfect circle... so I got the leather up right away and placed apples and veggies after my first 8 plots... I placed them in the circles they are very efficient plots if you get the big house in the middle of the veg fields... I made four apples and four veg plots about 1 morgen each... they were the first plots I upgraded to t3 and filled out nicely I have 1k veg and 1k apple in year 5 and 6 with high pop growth now over 120 families seems to be feeding them... I also got honey right away and put all apple and veg families on honey... meat just keeps disappearing but I figure it is being eaten right away (it would be smart if villagers ate the things that spoil first before the other items but i think it is actually random) so they eat the meat and it saves veg apple honey and bread... bread has been disappearing fast too with just communal oven but I had 500 wheat harvest with my circle plots first year so should be enough to sustain village... on year 5 I had expected a 540 harvest for barley and I though my problems were all solved with ale but had a drought and it yielded less than 100 barley! ... back to purchasing a trickel of malt and barley every month to supplement the harvest... had a little fishing pond too that was taken down by drought but I haven't quite figured out how to use it yet... I think best for basic fish pond is to set to 78 fish limit and put a bunch of families on it to max fish but I haven't had a chance to see how many families will work... fish dissappear too... I went with goat extentions for hides and made shoes as first t2 plot right away and have made 10k so far spent a bit on ale... Once maxed out goats at about 50 plots and have excess hides started with chicken but I suppose they won't really do anything at this point we will see... still need to expand to the rich salt deposit next door after all this time messing around with baron and such... I turned off bandit camps and maxxed all difficulty settings and baron already took all mercs to kill all my raider parties for me... thanks baron 😃... he used all mercs on me and had 15 units to my six, including 2 crossbows... I had 4 crossbows and two spear plus tiny retinue... I had to run all over the map as he had 6 ranged units my Fort was a death trap... finally I picked off his units one by one and took two territory plus the one he was attacking ... now on to that salt and sausages!!

[@johnnymclemore8255]

Great video, when I stopped playing in June it took around 3 years to get food established with orchards and veggies. I downloaded the game this weekend and am going to start playing again. Does placing multiple berry farms near the deposit still allow you to harvest more berries per tick, if so this could help you out.

[@TheOnlyL0nzY]

yea, just a shame the damn berry deposit was so far away haven't tested the multiple yet

[@B7ood_Eag7e]

Mine hasn't updated with salt, fishing, crossbow etc. I have tried to force update bit no luck. Why would that be ?

[@TheOnlyL0nzY]

Beta option in steam

[@abbbys]

Looks beautiful for sure, sad i havent been able to play due to an error starting the game, ive been trying to figure out why it doesnt start with nonluck for the last 2-3 months 😢

[@TheOnlyL0nzY]

That sucks! Tried a full reinstall?

[@abbbys]

@@TheOnlyL0nzY guess I can do that, been trying all the things they post in the discussion boards

[@bulletpretzels1198]

I heard you mention 140 days until The rain arrives . Where can you see the actual day count for this ? And total days plaid ? Thx

You can't. I don't recall saying that lol

Question, I didn't see the option to have a piggery, pork for sausages? Is there an option for a pig farm?

[@TheOnlyL0nzY]

Nope, they are "meat" sausages, aka deer or sheep

[@fruitgums]

@@TheOnlyL0nzY No Pork then

Can you play this with just one hand? looks interesting

Deffo, just play on slow speed
