MAXIMIZE Your Manor Lords Food Production With This Cool Design!

[@luzhang2982]

When in doubt, use the fertility overlay + signs to align. They're guaranteed fixed symbology that's guaranteed aligned with the map horizontal and vertical directions.

[@KG-1]

Smart.

[@nickl9451]

Mind blown!

[@KG-1]

Yes. Just checked. So to use this make a free field that holds that overlay open when made, aligning with marks as a ruler, draw a road, demo the field and reference ruler is made.

Ran with the Marlon Brawdo and it worked great. Only thing I ran into was veggie pantries tended to really fill up, but this may be from not micro-managing my veggie/apple plot burgages to be the ones manning the granary. Going to try a refinement: a 7 corpse pit cross, cut back with road arrangement to 3.5 in each direction, Then divide each half into 3 double burgage plots. Make a 2 CP rectangle in the middle so I can still get in the 4 beehives each direction, but 2 Granaries in the middle with 6 each stalls. The idea is to keep the same farming area, but increase the pantry space by a third and have a gather only, and stall only granary capability. In the current great map I have, this also gets around an initial conflict between getting the first 6 pop capacity and where the tents are at start. Have a map now with normal game/clay/stone, rich berries/iron and 3+ Rye just north on the river map. Anyone else running into URE5 crashes - had 2 yesterday, that also corrupted a save file well before crash - - my manor and tower were no longer finished? Updated some drivers last night, will see if the experience continues.

[@KG-1]

The simple way to do the 6.5 is to draw the diagonal lines first from the side centers of that outer CP, then per TactiCat.

You have good knowladge of logistics and good imagination. I have been following u since manor lords came out. Keep up the good work and God bless you.

[@kanetodd43]

Thank you so much for your videos. I always find games like these kinda hard to get into but you break it down very well and I can just turn off my brain and get cozy with the game. Thanks again!

[@paulsworld2287]

Hey Tacti Cat I just wanna say I love your manor lords videos! Keep it up man!!

[@kincsoborokamoricz6002]

I love the way you think, very good design, nice video. I try to incorporate your designs into my game but a little different so it's unique and it is working out nicely. Thank you for your work.

[@nickl9451]

At this point, it would be a good add in to have builder templates to plop down, instead of using the corpse pit. Say, 1/2 or 1 etc, morgen sized triangles squares and rectangles to auto build. Then a alt-x kind of feature that auto-deletes all the templates.

[@pojorobo1]

you know there is a straight line grid that shows you the map orientation on the object being constructed? so you don't have to go zoom out to see the corner.

[@SchwarzeSun]

If they did this historically we'd be way beyond colonizing Mars by now

[@minuskre3qt]

thankyou mister. your desings helped me very much

[@katb2688]

I love how optimised this is but do you have any tips for taking any of these designs and making them look more natural? possibly after the fact, given how specific burbage plots insist on being.

[@Zsaciku]

Great design! However, I find it easier just to use the central corpse pit and create a square around, instead of rings. It's more convenient and it's way easier to create the optimal burgage plots that way.

[@marekgabik2898]

I love Corpse pit units. It so.. Medieval 🤔

[@Happy420Ger]

I'll try to put 2 granary in the middle n make everything bigger to see if the production gets a surplus... Thx bro I got so much ideas because of your knowledge keep it up

[@omgdawgurmom1069]

I cannot seem to get my 4th burgage plot lined up, Ive spent a good hour trying

[@felixreali7101]

Love your vids. Really helpful: QUESTION: I see you mix up "The Bender" design with normal smaller burgage plots. How do you decide? Do you only use "The Bender" for food? And do you use the normal smaller sized plots for stuff like breweries, tool making etc?

[@TacticatGaming]

Yeah you only need big back yards for veg and apples

Try doing a v shape between the two sides for the first two plots

[@Gayle4447]

Edit: Love your videos! (I'm sorry I didn't say this first) Looking forward to future shares. Has anyone else found the marketplace missing in the build menu? (I don't see in the video where he set it up)

it's there

it has moved to the logistics tab in recent update

[@Gayle4447]

@ T;hank you very much. You saved my game. :)

[@verymiddleagedgamer]

Thanks for videos - really appreciate them. Do you know how many extra circles required when using hitching post as guide rather than windmill? Hoping to build right from start as have really convenient location (fish, animals) whilst I wait for planks

[@TacticatGaming]

4 all together - so the hitching post and 3 extra

[@verymiddleagedgamer]

actually dw - you mention a couple of circles and I only tried with one. will give it a go with two

great video! I'm having the "problem" that the market gets full of repetitive stalls, is that what it's supposed to happen or is there anything that I can do to avoid it? thanks!

[@TacticatGaming]

Abandoned stalls ? You can delete those

[@Sergio_Ro]

@@TacticatGaming not abandoned, they open duplicated stalls, maybe because I have just one market for the whole town? I don't know, I'm quite a beginner here..

[@davidwilson6829]

@@Sergio_Ro a tip I got from one of these guys was basically kill the market stall option for just about everyone except your granary and storehouse. Adjust as necessary for particular craftsmen but otherwise all sales should just go through those two buildings.

[@Sergio_Ro]

@@davidwilson6829 thank you, I tried that option too, at the end, whoever is running the granary and storehouse creates a duplicated stall with the same food, and I end up with 2 meat, 2 clothes, 2 firewood... even having only 1 family assigned to it. At some point I added a 2nd family to the granary and it automatically got the stall icon in the granary menu. I've started a new game after watching this video to apply some of the tips I've seen, I gave up on that market place...😅

[@joshuamarcocchi4447]

better this or the flexo?

[@TacticatGaming]

Flexo is for larger cities

[@dasschmidthaus]

@Tacticat Love you videos I've learned a lot about the game from you. Question. At what point should you start building this in your village? Certain population size, etc? Thanks!

[@TacticatGaming]

early

[@JohnnyHughes1]

It depends on if you are OK missing one or 2 families when starting. I start with 3 double Burbage plots.. to get the 6th family by April. Then to timber, 2 foods. Then another double Burbage plot by the original 3 so as not to miss the May family. At that point I could probably build this and not miss any Families. If you are OK missing one or two families .. certainly not that big a deal in the long run .. then you could do it any time, even the start after timber.

[@Domarnett]

I pause the game at the very start and do the layout, and then fill it in as I need the buildings. I usually don’t get that 6th family until May, though I have gotten them by April a couple of times, so it is possible.

[@kurodetaka3677]

Does each apiary need worker or just 1 for all of them? I dont understand

[@TacticatGaming]

1 in each

[@thomaslenzmeier183]

Flexo or brawndo, which is better?

[@TacticatGaming]

Situational - flexo 60 burgages plus

[@square1sc]

Would you say this is better than the flexo?

[@TacticatGaming]

for small cities yes - 20 burgage

[@niko_k_s]

What if you keep expanding the pattern with corpse pits, an octagon within an octagon theme

[@TacticatGaming]

It can be done

[@KG-1]

A hexagon based system would interlock. Think wargame maps.

[@RedRam_Menhtrol]

I kinda hope they add potato farming at some point simply because they can be farmed all year round. And more importantly... You can make alcohol out of them to. 😆

[@Sparticulous]

Potatos are new world crop

[@KG-1]

And it wouldnt really be Germany without potatoes.

[@hanneken4026]

​@@KG-1Not in mefieval times! Potatoes took a while to spread around Europe after they were brought back from South America. Until then, the starches/ carbohydrate part of peoples diet was grain-based. Breads, flatbreads, porridge, pancakes, pastry, pasta, dumplings, gnocchi etc.

[@KG-1]

@@hanneken4026 Id forgotten that.

[@JacekRoszak1986]

I checked that 1 honey is produced in 1 apiary once every 7 days. So to get 2 honey per day you need 14 apiaries. Am I right? I tested it on the latest patch.

[@TacticatGaming]

It’s a bit more complicated a you need 24-36 depending on logistics

[@JacekRoszak1986]

Ok but if I would build apiaries beside houses of people that work there and those people would have nothing else to do beside honey (no workshops), and the granary would be dedicated for it with enough workers, would it be 14? Or 24? Because if you examine that closely it really produces 1 honey every 7 days…

[@LyraNDillon]

i made 16 apiaries in there but 8 is more then enough ... you can still make another brawndo xD

[@KG-1]

Posted this direct to Manor Lords Steam Feedback: My comments are based on TactiCat latest videos on the above, his comments are based on his testing and the work of Chuckw44, PARRY.B, Chilled Sloth. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpzZdnqGoJaFZqc kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZycaKdtrLSLjdE Currently their testing indicates the pops go and get food according to this order: 1. Granaries. 2. Stalls. 3. Pantries. But, approval for growth depends on stall access, I know by play for this to be true. It would make more sense for it to be: 1. Resident Pantry (not all pantries). 2. Stalls. 3. Granaries. This still relieves the stall bottleneck, but aligns market approval with consumption instead of being at odds. Spoilage should be heaviest least in order: stalls (it's none now), pantries, small granary, large granaries. Clothing should be a once a year consumed item per FAMILY. Firewood/Charcoal should be per month per FAMILY not burgage plot. Currently, families go and get firewood/charcoal, but not food/clothing - change that to going/getting food/clothing too. Let them finish a task their on, but when the RNG says for them to gather, then next task is gathering. Suggest boosting eggs to 2 per month per burgage plot.

local man enters youtube video to discover players make town designs in town design game

[@SoftExo]

Have watched vido after video, "trick" after "trick", and still cant feed a city of 400. "make more carrots" have large carrot backyards that still only produce 250 carrots in season and get depleted in the blink of an eye, "plant more apples" have large orchards that produce 3 and 400 apples in season still get depleted in no time. I still have hunting, 2 fisheries pulling enormous weight, 2 large farms producing about 250 rye/wheat yearly, and 160 sheep with about 70 lambs and only butchering sheep. Its still never enough and im contantly looking at my borderline empty granaries. Just sorta makes you wanna quit, let them starve. Doesnt seem like theres much fixing it unless i cover the entire region in food sources....for 32 houses.

[@TacticatGaming]

You probably don't have enough granary workers or your logistics are off - i'd advise watching some of my long form guides on city building - i can do 60 plots easy with a flexo and some basic food

[@SoftExo]

@@TacticatGaming I have 3 granaries and 3 storehouses, 1 of each with no workers just for potential surplus (and on materials/storehouse i have plenty) 2 of each have 6 workers, 24 total, i forget how many stalls that makes but clicking the market its never topped in terms of capacity (and granary at like 5% operation when i have so little food left). The only thing thats far away is the fish thats down by the pond, and both farms where i had to chase down fertility. Otherwise market stalls are central and surrounded by the town houses, and so are granaries/storehouses that are in the center of town i created from the very start of the (highlands) map. I didnt mention before but i also have 23 plots with pigs and the meat perk, so these are another 180+ meat a year, meat that i never even see because it too instantly vanishes. I import barley for tavern ale because theres just no fertility anywhere (funny enough just importing 27 has the tavern always topped out and serving everyone, fascinating when i look at the struggle food is). Maybe it is me missing the little detail that would make food storage explode, but its certainly frustrating needing this long to figure out what it is. edit: your videos are fine tho, im just venting.
