Medieval Dynasty Lets Play - Animal Breeding! E9

[@27hund1]

I am a few episodes behind, but am enjoying this series so far. To combine both your love of bees and dad jokes, I present the following: Why do bees have sticky hair? Because they use a honeycomb.

[@Kysen]

Haha that's great! Thank you so much for the super chat I really appreciate it! Have a fantastic Christmas or whatever else you may celebrate at this time of year 🙂

Currently you have the lowest teir houses per size; Sticks. When you shift your town it will be ideal to start with stone houses as they can later be upgraded to insulated stone. Better housing means better mood which equals more productivity. Even moreso,they use less firewood!

[@mediccrawler1633]

One thing I do at each season, I buy the raw material from the vendor, usually copper and tin. I smelt bronze and sell back bronze tools and keep a few as well. Also in the diplomacy skill tree, specking into barter gives you better buy/sell percentages.

[@Kysen]

Not sure I have the skill to make bronze tools just yet but could be good when I do. :)

[@mediccrawler1633]

Bronze tools is what I use now, you can buy the copper ore, smelt it use your own materials to make weapon/tools to sell back at a higher price. Even buying the ore, smelting it and selling it back makes a good profit without the barter skill. I will double check this when I get off work on my game and tell you the results.@@Kysen

[@mediccrawler1633]

I got about 6-8 coins per ore I smelted. So you can make profit from turning ore to bars.

This is a great series, excited for more! If you go to the skill tree under production I think, there is a skill called handyman that lets you put insulation in your village’s homes. It lowers the amount of firewood required and keeps the people warmer for longer in general. I think you have to upgrade the homes to stone walls and wood tile roof first to do this, but that also helps a lot with the insulation by itself. This would help with the winters getting colder and colder. Spring and summer are usually the best times to start insulating your homes, because it does take a while to do all of them with all the limestone you have to collect. Whenever you move your village, you can start out with stone walls instead of wattle, which already increases the insulation by itself, and would make it more convenient in the long run. As far as quests go, my friends and I have gotten pretty much the same quests difficulty-wise. They may get more difficult as the game goes on, an as your resources increase. Absolutely loving this series, keep it up!

My wife just absolutely creased up at youre donkey joke lol, and here’s her version of it What do you call a donkey with 3 legs?- a wonky

[@Kysen]

Haha love it and thanks for subscribing :)

[@EpicVirus]

Thanks for the videos dude

[@Kysen]

Thank you so much for the superchat! I really appreciate it. I will give you a shoutout in episode 11 because episode 10 has already been uploaded to my channel. I made it earlier than usual because I'm going to the zoo today and wanted to keep to my 1 video per day on this series

[@EpicVirus]

@@Kysen than you so much for the reply you’re videos are appreciated I am absolutely loving this series, Me and the wife play this on Xbox so sadly haven’t got the update yet really looking forward to it enjoy you’re time at the zoo

[@gilbertgrissom9691]

I'm guessing the game doesn't care, but interbreeding donkeys is definitely gonna get you some wonky donkeys!!! You could always call the new donkey Wonky as a reminder to all watching!! You can also chase down rabbits on foot and use a knife! You do need to run tho!! Lovin your work!!

[@Kysen]

Very true haha. Thank you for the support :)

[@Harris83]

omg "this doesn't usually happen" got me good...

[@zeer0squared]

Thanks for the shout out in this video! You can also use Inspector Mode in the towns to find vendors or mission givers instead of wondering where they are. ;) Loving the series, please keep going.

[@Kysen]

No worries, thank you for the tips and the support :)

[@paralyse2735]

Totally love this series, keep up the awesome work! Hunting bears and wisents are also an easy source for fur and leather to craft into the boots you just showed. Imo they are easier to hunt than those deers or the sly foxes 😂

[@Kysen]

Thank you for the tips and the support :)

[@thorwaldhrodgerson6220]

Nice work, Stallion! 😂

[@Obsidianoak]

Donkeys live ~32 years and the foals become adults at 2 years of age I would keep the original ones until the 20s and consider selling the foals until then or if you would rather sell as adults you could build a second donkey shelter and move the foals there. The Donkeys won't produce another foal until at least 1 foal is sold because there are no more spots in your current building. Farm workers: If working animal care they will top up feed if you have it available and collect resources thus increasing your yield. I have not seen an impact on breeding- new animals is a chance each season Animal Breeders get much less exp than a field or barn worker unless this has been recently tweaked. Barn workers are not super necessary in my opinion early game - generally I move field workers to the barn for the winter early game then back to the field in the spring Best animals for frequency of offspring are Geese, chickens, goats, sheep Donkeys & cows are moderate Pigs and horses are the least frequent For Crop management Ohnocho created a great diagram for crop planting. Hectic Nasari also showed it a little while ago

[@Kysen]

Thanks for the tips :)

[@matthewtighe8222]

I get a lot of hunter badgers quests -_- i do have an iron crossbow and i shoot the little buggers in the butt, yet they survive when i feel like an iron bolt would obliterate them.

[@pegasusgamer9045]

Animal feed = rye + oat + straw. Rye and oats planted in different seasons and take 2 seasons to grow. Bummer :) You may have to buy the grains(to make your own) if vendor is out of feed.

[@stephenlowbridge1982]

I'm sure you know this but you can craft firewood in your hand to save walking to the woodshed

[@martingab2556]

Great episode! You got me into this game. I have a question on how the chicken breeding works. Do you have to stop collecting their eggs to get new chicks, or does it not matter?

[@Kysen]

Thank you. My understanding is you need 1 Rooster and 1 Hen and in the new season you have a chance of 1+ chick/s being born. You don't need to leave eggs in the nest for them to hatch. I'm not 100% on this but info I found online seems to back up my belief

[@gy2045]

Loving the series, and you can see the growth period for each seed when you have the bag equipped an you open the selection wheel... again I did the same thing and had no space in spring when most things need to be planted 🥲and thanks for the shout out by the way 😁

[@Kysen]

You're welcome, thanks for the support :)

[@isaacbridge3623]

You can always cancel out of crafting by Rick clicking I think. So when your water was low and making that meat, you can stop

[@smokinaces9077]

Each video just gets better and better wonder if you can help me out me and my friend are growing our town but can't seem to get any more villages our dynasty level is 700 do we just need to do more quests?

[@Kysen]

I'm sorry but idk, I haven't got that far haha

[@wheredoibelong5771]

I know i'm too late for this but since you have a smithy, you could actually make and sell copper hammer. Then after a while you could progress to bronze hammer.

[@alancook196742]

Fantastic video..just a quick question if I put a villager on the well do they make the buckets and put them in the resources building?

[@Killem911]

You need to have buckets in the resource storage and yes, then the worker will fill them up and put them in the food storage (where they belong).

[@Kysen]

They fill buckets with water but won't make buckets, you need to assign someone to do that at the workshop :)

[@alancook196742]

Thanks for the help

[@vtethys6116]

I honestly just farm massive fields myself and convert it all to flour or linen and swim in money afterward

[@isaacbridge3623]

I still like cooking meat and making bags for my money. 1 bear is 80 meat at 6 coins each 480 coins per bear selling the meat. I have a location with 2 bears and I often head there if I need a bit more cash. I have gained a lot of skills in cooking from making lots of food. I need to try your big farming operations. I have been playing with 2 friends and we had no idea what we were doing. This game has been amazing and it’s so fun to see the slow progress. I am going to get pigs soon which I am excited about. Have you sold any of your animals yet? If you have, I need a run down on how to sell animals please. Thanks!

[@jasongiersdorf3286]

Loving the videos maybe make videos little longer. Keep up the good work

[@Kysen]

I feel like 25+ mins is about right per episode but maybe I can do a special 1 hour episode at some point. Thanks for the support :)

[@jasongiersdorf3286]

@@Kysen an one hour special would be great thank you.

[@southelgin25]

Why do you travel to the other locations and see if you can find someone with higher skill ?

[@Kysen]

I did check out 1 other location in a previous episode and their skills seemed about the same. I could try other locations but I don't think it's the best use of my time. Probably better to just get someone young in to start working and then their skills improve over time anyway

[@jennifercottrill8288]

@@Kysen I have loved this series. I started watching your Valheim videos. And was so excited to see you enjoy one of my other favorite games as well.

[@Kysen]

That's awesome that you like both games :) I hope you have a great Christmas! Thanks for watching@@jennifercottrill8288

[@Nyghtbaynn]

Is there a way to increase the animal feed for your animal husbandry? I would assume that the animals would be more productive resources if they had a stable and regular food source. Really enjoying the series Kysen, your playthrough inspired my purchase of MD (you should get a referral bonus, lol).

[@Kysen]

I think growing the materials in bulk then making animal feed is the best way to go. Then I should be able to always have excess animal feed, but we need another 2 or 3 harvests until we're there. Thank you, I hope you will enjoy your medieval adventure! :)

[@endlessgalaxyz]

Why you give up on the Valheim hardcore run? You haven’t touched that run since almost 3 months ago 🥲

For some reason the animal breeder icon has a chicken not a pig even though it’s from the pigsty

Episode 9! Lets Goooo!

[@Kysen]

Thanks for bingeing :D I believe you made it at least to episode 10 already from your comments! :)

[@thefullmetalgamr9887]

Many more to go! Loving the vids so far and the healthy pacing in the builds, quests, and monolog have been great. Keeps me interested the whole way through. My favorite has to be the attention to comments and posting them in your vids. It has helped me so much in my own playthrough and it keeps a great friendly atmosphere with the community. Looking forward to watching the rest! @@Kysen

[@Killem911]

Nice episode and gz on making your wify happy with the coming baby! But I need to voice one thing that pains me to death lol It is super painful for me to see you running around without picking up every stone and stick from the ground lmao because that is what I constantly do haha 😂 Just to give you a quick example how I started: Collecting a ton of stones and stick, as well as logs and make a whole bunch of tools via handy crafting. Get one or two workers in a woodshed for logs, planks, etc. Next thing, make a field and plant cabbage, flax, oat and/or rye. They line up fine season wise and you also can plant cabbage twice a year. Those can be used for potage, linen thread, and animal feed. You can also sell the cabbage, since it yields insanely xd. Next is a pigsy for manure to have fertilizer (I start my fertilizer with rot from unripe berries). Then start mining, get another worker for the pigs, and continue growing. I am in year 5 now and I can pretty much empty all the NPCs money wise in Piastovia with the stuff I produce and have plenty over.

[@Kysen]

I don't ever seem to be low on sticks or stones so I hadn't really thought to pick them up all the time but maybe I'll start doing more of that
