I hope this stays as a regular series after full release

[@violettiplady3113]

i agree. since biffa posted this yesterday, ive just been binge watching other people play it too. \

[@yogertslinger84]

I've been waiting on this game for over 2 years so I wholeheartedly agree

[@yungsquee1651]

You need to replace the road that was removed when you put the church in.

[@axeell92]

My eye twitched every he went near the plots 😂 And then he was upgrading them and i thought finally its gonna happen. But alas, no 😅

[@Scott_Burton]

11:45 Notice that the homelessness in the "previous" section has gone down to -1, it was -2, so in the past few months the older of the 2 homeless issues has dropped off. In answer to your marketplace needs for a Burgage Plot. The plots closest to the market get resupplied first, so a Burgage halfway across the region, by the mining pit, will be the last to be supplied. The multiple Burgage Plots by the market have to get their supplies before it's allowed to supply to the more distant one. If you use the premise of say, post delivery, and the market is the post office, and you have 1 postman, the post is going to get to the houses in town because they're all downtown near the post office. The postman has to make a long trip out to make that one delivery to the mining pit house. But in the meantime, one of the places in town needs another delivery, by proximity, the delivery is taken to the house in town, further delaying the delivery to that one remote location. It will get its delivery, but it will take much longer. 15:15-15:40 Thank you for allowing that transition to pass on screen. It's remarkable the detail put into the slow "accumulation" of snow. 16:15-16:21 I don't think you'll get wealth from the carrots (nor the eggs from an expansion chicken coop, etc) These are the people's gardens or animals, and they likely sell them at the market, which improves your food stall variety, thus happiness/approval, but that money isn't paid to you because you have no taxation or tithes in place. If you can upgrade your Burgage Plots to Level 2, they will start producing 1 wealth per family living in the upgraded burgage. But upgrading them also means the demands to keep the household happy will go up. I think these expansions add food variety and possibly materials that other buildings can use (such as hides from goats, which would in turn be used at the tannery, during the demo, I've read these expansions didn't actually do anything, not sure if they currently do) 16:54 by pausing the forager's hut, you may have just closed their stall at the market, which is going to mean your market will no longer have its food stall variety bonus. 21:10-21:14 You have to recognize the difference between "Family Members" vs "Family" When a family joins, it's a new work group. When a family member joins, it increases the number of workers in a specific, already existing, group. You can order another ox at the structure that is Jacob's home when he's not working (I've forgotten the name of it) but it will cost you regional wealth (gold) shortly after you order it, a trader will come and deliver it to where it was ordered from. You can also build additional structures to tie the ox to, which will mean when someone hauls, using the ox, they can take him to the nearest drop off instead of having to return him to the one building you started with. 38:24-38:26 your regional wealth (gold) is 67, so your trade route has already made some money it would appear. You are down to 58 planks from the 120 you had, and you just used some planks to start building the church, so It would appear a number of your planks left when you set your surplus, and some money has already beep paid to you, then your expenditure on the church reduced your surplus below your set number. By forcing early harvest, I think you're hurting yourself. The next year you have set to fallow (improve the soil, do not plant crops) and you won't get the full 41 wheat harvest, because the yield is based on letting the crops grow to maturity.

[@XenosX4]

Biffa, when you destroyed the road to make space for the Church ( 36:38 ) you destroyed the *whole* entire road which connected all the residential buildings in the town. Your residents arent gonna like that :(

[@afacelessname1378]

You can sow wheat in the autumn (winter wheat). It will germinate before winter when it gets too colds then lie dormant until spring when it will start growing again. Winter wheat normally is harvested before Spring wheat as it starts growing before the spring wheat is planted.

[@FrankieBoiledEgg]

I'm screaming at my screen for the early harvest of the wheat. You're not going to get the 4o-ish you're seeing in the building tab because it hasn't yet grown. Your farmers didn't run out of time during the planting season and similar to real life cereal crops are planted before winter and germinate in the spring. Let it growww let it growwww don't early harvest anymoreeeee

[@Arthaius]

- It probably wouldn't hurt for him to add a couple extra farmers, I mean most of the jobs have a hard limit of around 3 workers, the farm house has 8 so.. I feel like at least one or two more would be a good choice. Could also add in another field or two, my opinion, in order to make a decent amount of bread you need a fair amount of flour, and to make that fair amount of flour, I think you would need a hefty amount of wheat grain. that one field probably won't yield enough grain for much more than maybe a dozen or so worth of bread. I don't have the game so this is just speculation, but, logically it makes sense to have larger fields and more farmers, at least with grain - he could also of course try to grow other crops like some form of vegetables if it is available, much higher yield I think for food, and definitely some flax for cloth to work towards clothing. Might not be a bad idea to set up some sheep farms for wool while he's at it.

[@EverShy_]

Unless it says "route required" in the trade tab of the trading post, you do not need to establish a route. Just set whatever you want to trade to import or export. Also, you didn't build a second storehouse near the industrial area (iron, stone).

[@ellnic]

You don't need to open trade routs to trade some items, that just sets up a dedicated rout or unlocks unavailable that need a rout items. Just set to export and set your reserve limit and the trader will take excess to fill the trading post and as merchants pass they will buy various amounts of various items that you have sored there so for the planks, you didn't need to buy the route. Same with Import, you don't need buy a route just select import (unless it specifically says Route required) and the amount you want sored in your village and the trader will buy off traveling merchants as they pass through until you have reached your goal limit.

[@myfavoriteviewer306]

"Jacob the Ox" sounds like the surprise twist at the end of a side quest where someone told you a lengthy backstory that sounded like their dad or husband or some other person of great personal value went missing. "Waaaiit a second. Jacob is an ox?!?!" 😂

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

🤣

[@alexanderfridolindiomora5950]

🤣🤣🤣

[@tadhgmurphy8859]

Looking great, just make sure to now buy some horses and oxen so you can be better able to move heavy items around and to also speed up farming now that you have the money coming in through trade. Then be sure to connect the other two church connections with roads and give the other part of your village a well as well, so they don't have to traval as far for water if possible, might be no harm in giving them a market and more storage areas as well, again just to reduce travel - and make sure to give your majestic, bearded Lord a nice manor house so he can enjoy his sips of tea and watch over his people

[@stephenreardon2698]

A well near the ore mine, smithy etc will save the residents in that area time, as well a providing a source of water in the event of fire. Forgetting fire seems to be a Cities:Skylines creator trait.

[@tsvetantsvetanov3789]

At 33:04 where you are happy that people moved in the houses next to the mine, I actually spit half my tea when I read the name of the first inhabitant 😅😅😅😅

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

😬

[@Curtislb]

Dont forget to reassign people to keep making planks for trading. Also keep an eye on replanting trees to keep a steady amount of wood! Love the new series! Please keep it going! ❤

[@jsfl5]

On the development tree, Trade Logistics locks the cost of a new trade route at a maximum of 25 regional wealth. Bit late for the tools trade, but will save you loads in the long run. Loving the start to the series!

[@shainRylie]

love this series! Couple things you seemed to miss throughout the gameplay though - you deselected stone from the general storage so it can only be stored at the site. you also deleted the main road for you houses when building the church. lastly, the small house symbol, top left, represents your housing stock and you didn't have room for more people at the end of the episode! Again, love the series so far!

[@maikeru4208]

There's the real Biffa!!! Thank you for bringing the real Biffa back and taking that sip of tea, thought we almost lost you for good! hehe😝🥰

[@MrMcRobsen]

on the one hand i love biffa and others can play the game, but on the otherhand i want to play too. getiing footage of a game which is comming soon is like torture to me. fomo hits hard, i would appriciate not to be able to see more off. sure i gonna watch it and be upset afterwards because i explored the game without doin it myself. still keep up your good work i really appriciate your content

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

👍☺️

[@ExecutorGCW]

Yeah I'm pretty much the same. My feeds have started blowing up with Manor Lords videos recently and it hits me even harder knowing it's so close after discovering the game in 2020 and missing the demo lmao

[@kannnnix]

I believe Zweiau is a german/austrian? village name that you would pronounce like ts (tsunami) + wye (Y) + ow (owl minus the l) = tswyeow, historically you could name a village which is near two (2 = "zwei") small streams or rivers in a wet sometimes flooded region which is an "Au" as "Zweiau"

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Well that's the 42nd different way to pronounce it 😉

[@kannnnix]

@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines as 42 is the ultimate answer to everything ... my version is the winner ? ;-)

[@ThaJay]

I agree with this comment. Another way of explaining the same could be: Ts + Why + (how -h)

[@sharpless]

I think the "income" from the backyard carrots is vegetables, not actual money/wealth.

[@DavidDrouant]

you can slice them into coins

[@panzrok8701]

The village Zweiau is roughly pronounced tzvai-au. It means roughly second(zwei=two) wetland in German. But Au is an old word with many meanings. Maybe it has an old English cognate.

[@tommeakin1732]

Bit of an English nerd here: The proto-Germanic root of "au" would be something like *ahwo (“water; stream"), which is the same root as English "ey" ("A small island formed by the buildup of silt or gravel at the meeting of two rivers or streams"), and English place names ending in "-ey" and I believe "-y" are linked to that. Also the "is" in "island" (the "s" was added needlessly, recently, and shouldn't even be there) is the from the same root. It pretty much means "waterland". Words are weird but cool👏

[@valdirbruxeljunior]

i was screaming at the screen every time Biffa would zoom near the Market area when he removed the road to make room for the church, he removed the entire road through the houses

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

They'll still walk, just a tad slower. 😊

[@chrisgoodier6825]

29:39 I'm really hoping it's not that sort of trading post!

[@QuinchGaming]

Harvesting will only happen in the Late Summer/Early Autumn but its a three month window. An early harvest won't harvest before a crop is ready, just before its at maximum yield. That's how crops grow, you plant in the winter of the year before you want to harvest, harvest 3rd quarter of the next year. As you only have one field however, you'll need to make sure you rotate crops & leave it fallow a year, so ideally you need 3 fields if you have the area for it.

[@JeremyDawesJezweb]

The care for details in the game is so evident even such a perhaps small aspect where a building as made one plank at a time is a real credit to the effort of the developers. Really enjoying this relaxed pace and keen to play it!

[@craigfjay]

I’ve not watched the latest video yet, but a few notes for Biffa: -The housing in the top left: if your housing says (12, +2), it means you have 12 current spaces, and 2 in your construction queue being built / upgraded -Building cost, if the resource quantity is white, you have enough. If it’s red, you don’t have enough yet. 18:50 for the church, you already had enough stone to build it

[@TRPLD]

Great series. Just an fyi: You can lower import prices massively (by 10 gold) via a perk once you level up your settlement.

[@FARBerserker]

the bloomery refines the mined ore and the smithy then makes stuff out of it

[@simonlees2848]

Im guessing its more beneficial to have houses nearer the market in the town then with the workplaces which is probably why you cant choose the house they live in

[@gallendugall8913]

I think you can upgrade from a village to a hamlet if you can acquire a small pig.

[@3217491]

For the mining house, you could've just pressed the - next to the build thingemajig to reduce it to a single house. I can't wait for this game man.. holy damn

[@Bananasauruss_Rex]

I want to play this game so badly i can't wait

[@sharpless]

[36:40] Game needs to handle removal of roads a little bit better. Not removing the whole road, but only up to the next junction

[@EternalGamingNet]

Amazing video, very entertaining. Can't wait for the game to come out.

[@otsilegaegane4220]

Buy an ox, Jacob needs a family

[@Jacob-W-5570]

yeah!

[@janesaunders8001]

For clothing you need a hunter (to a lesser extent the goats) for hides and a tannery to convert the hides to leather. A stall sells the leather and that seems to satisfy the first level of clothing need.

[@hvanmegen]

Wow.. the game looks beautiful.. a true successor for Banished.. my wife's going to LOVE this...

[@KayBee.91]

I was biting my nails why you waited so long for the 10 stone :D , you had it the moment you wanted to build the church. Great seriers so far , keep it up !

[@samtro]

Heya Biffa! Nice new series! I might be mistaken, but you set your farm to crop rotation with nothing to plant in the second year (to regenerate the field I guess) An early harvest might not be in your best interest then. 😊

Those smelters, miners and bloomers need to go a long way to get water from the well 🥤 Also, does it allow to make a grid of perfectly straight roads? Not very medieval, I know.

Heya Biffa! If you get your Burgage plots upgraded you will start gaining regional wealth passively from the houses. You will always get access to more artisian crafts that you can export and gain more regional wealth.

I wish the roads were created naturally, as you place a building and naturally the road would be created by the people walking thru, obvisouly with the option to create our own path on the side

[@amandadeloff4278]

Desire paths, the paths people create by walking, I have always wanted a game that has that mechanic! Maybe get a bonus if you upgrade to a road because people already want to use it so it's faster.

[@Hikers42]

The houses need to be LV 2 to gain any money, you can upgrade by clicking the house, upgrade, takes 4 logs.

[@benjaminlamey3591]

for tehgarden, you should rather select a house with a bigger backyard for it and put a chicken coop in the small ones. The chicken is really efficient apaprently to feed people. You acually do not need iron, and tools at tehbeginning. I would rather set up the hunting camp for food and hides and the tanner to get some clothing done. these are requirements for upgrading the houses. I would even do that before the wheat and the mill, to start I would go foir the shortest production chain, because of teh people availability.

[@nicolej1174]

Absolutely gorgeous game. Thanks for sharing!! 😊

[@raelynne79]

Ah Biffa, you're such a townie! The wheat needs a whole season to grow. You're not going to get anything useful if you try to harvest in May. Same when you were looking for the carrots in the middle of winter. They don't grow in winter.

[@Mucknuggle]

@Biffa Zweiau is a composition of the german words zwei(two) and au wich is colloquial for aue(meadow) and and thus would be translated as "two meadows". phonetic wise: Zw - like switch but with a sharper S sound as in Zipper, ei - aye -> Zwei: "Zwaye" and Au -> ow => Zwaye-ow

[@Ketanaut]

[@DannyByWest]

Correct me if I’m wrong: but maybe instead of why, is more like vi. With the V from “very” and the I from “I”. Yes, it’s petty, but I like trying to make the pronunciation of one language make sense by using the components of another language.

[@davewhitehead8601]

@@DannyByWest I did consider writing that, but that "Meh, near enough..." Compared to the butchering of some of the inhabitants' names...

[@astridsawatzky]

@@DannyByWest when I say it the 'w' sound is closer to the way I say why . Where the latter could be incorrect, too. 😀 And there might also be different pronunciations of Zweiau depending on where who says it.
