Oh yes very helpful for a total noob town builder. TY!!

[@PatmosIV]

Great to hear! Glad it helped!

[@gordonberg3952]

Thanks for all you do to make this game more understandable in the little things that need to be done. With all the updates it will be nice to see them as you progress through this guide.

[@PatmosIV]

You are very welcome! I hope I can keep making these vids!

[@TruckerMike089]

Thank you so much. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong off the get go

[@PatmosIV]

You are very welcome! Glad to hear this video helped!

Ohh boi, im still waiting for part 2 :)

[@PatmosIV]

Me too! It is still in the work, but real life has been interfering with my KZbin work last weeks. Hopefully I have some more time on my hands now(should be so) and then I will also continue working on part 2!

[@QuakeSomethingUnique]

@@PatmosIV hopes for the best, love your content :)

[@wadeatkinson7790]

I would like to see a day night cycle and campfires can be built to act like a recreational area with benches around it

[@PatmosIV]

So true! Would love that too! I want a ton more decorations!

Hi. Nice video. I liked that you focused on the processes. Im looking forward to the next ones. Im particularly wondering about keeping the labours numbers up so things get done, and how many cowsheds per dairy etc. It might be nice to focus your guides on transport or animals and their product chains. How many wagon yards per stables, and what happens to old horses. Lots of questions i have. I will have to wait enthusiastically for more videos in this series. Thanks.

[@PatmosIV]

Thank you very much! Putting a lot of effort in these video's. Transportation is on the plan for the next episode. Still planning it all out and then I will record it. Should be up in 1 or 2 weeks I hope.

Great to see you start a new guide! I'm sure it will be super helpful for people just starting the game. With all the other games I have been playing lately I haven't played much Ostriv.. honestly I have been a little discouraged because I am having trouble with map 3. I think I may be experiencing bugs too. I'm thinking about starting over on it to see if anything changes. Every time I watch you play I remember that it is indeed my first love...and I want to play again, haha. I think I'll try a new town later today. Thanks for the great start.. and for reminding me how much I do love this game 🥰

[@PatmosIV]

Thank you very much! And you are right, Somehow map 3 is more buggy then others. I have no clue why that is, but game seems to crash on it more often. Have not seen a specific fix for all problems yet, so could be an idea to start on another map until some new patches come out. Or try map 3. There was one new patch a while ago for map 3, but I don't believe it fixed all problems. Enjoy the great game!

Thanks!

[@PatmosIV]

Thank you very much! Really appreciate it!

[@thenewmdzak]

This will be a nice series to watch.

[@PatmosIV]

I sure hope so! Going to work on Episode 2 this week!

[@supersoldierrcp]

I love your Ostriv videos! If you ever want to do a collaboration let me know! I'm happy help check your numbers and to cross check your tips and tricks. I'm not ashamed to say that I have over 1,000 hours on the game. There's also a bunch of little mechanical features that make the game more enjoyable that most people don't know about.

[@PatmosIV]

Thank you very much! I will keep that in mind!

[@BaldCletus]

Thanks so much for this video! Out started the game this week and was getting very frustrated

[@PatmosIV]

You are very welcome! Really happy this video helped out!

One small thing about the campfire at the start of the game, it’s not just there because it looks cute and is the focus for socialising and rest. While the villagers live in tents, the campfire is where they cook their food. You will see it burning and people using it until the last of those initial 9 houses are built. After that they stop lighting it, which I feel is a slight shame that they don’t continue to light it as they sit around it, but I suppose it saves on firewood and allows you to demolish it to create a town centre/town square there if you wish. But in the beginning it’s not completely useless.

[@PatmosIV]

Thank you @Jatzette ! I have to say Yes and No to your comment. Yes it looks cute and it lights up etc. But in the end. It serves no other purpose then cosmetics. You can place your camp, delete the sitting logs and campfire and nothing changes. The firewood intake won't change, they will eat, they will stay warm. I do agree it is a very nice place and I really wish the campfire but also the sitting logs were in the game as decorations so we can place them ourselves to. Nut purely from a game-mechanic standpoint they serve no purpose. I have actually tested this quite recent because I wanted to see if it actually did something.

[@jamingmike966]

awesome video

[@PatmosIV]

Thank you very much Mike! How are you today?

[@danielcoelho2808]

Great vid! Is the speed 3 bug still there?

[@PatmosIV]

Thank you. Not entirely sure if its still there. I am going to make a video with a test to see if it is still there. Hope to have it done in a week!

[@danielcoelho2808]

@@PatmosIV Sounds great, thanks for the quick reply. Keep up the good work!

[@PatmosIV]

Thank you!

[@dschoene57]

You could have placed the charcoal piles right at the start, so workers would fill them as firewood becomes available. That way, by the time the smithy goes live you already have charcoal available. I found 4 to 5 piles a good number, as charcoal is also a very good early tender when starting to trade with other towns.

[@PatmosIV]

True! And I would normally do that as well. But since this is a beginners guide I try to keep things more separate to not make things more complicated or mixed up. Of course there are a lot of choices I made for this video then can be done different. And I a lot of different options can work just as well as what I did. This is what I went for with this guide though.

[@CostaG56]

Wish we had a part 2 😔

[@PatmosIV]

Me too! Working on it. Most of the script is ready. After the holidays end I hope to make time for it!

[@misterhamstring1782]

Goede tutorial. Ik zou wel mijn Nederlands accent wat proberen weg te poetsen. Klinkt nog te veel als Mark Rutte die Engels probeert te praten. Probeer "kid" niet uit te spreken als "kit" en "pause" niet als "pos". Ze hebben een wat langere klank. Update: en "wood" niet als "woet" ;)

[@PatmosIV]

Dankjewel! Fijn dat je mijn tutorial waardeert. En bedankt voor je feedback.

[@OBrien1982]

Was there ever a part 2?

[@PatmosIV]

Not Yet, Working on it, but with Alpha 6 around the corner I was kinda holding it, but Its taking a bit longer then I thought for Alpha 6 to launch.. So might finish it in the next weeks and upload it anyways.

Might want to warn people not to place on top of trees, since it takes forever to cut them down to build something and it messes with the forestry performance, since the forestry supply the workers that cut down trees, with only one placing on tree = soft progress lock. Second there is no point in having more than two forester workers this early, you do not have the manpower to use wood faster than two can make it. At best reduce firewood to 1000, since you don't really need to have 10K firewood this early or maybe ever. Not really found a reason to have massive storage, as it is very hard to create a big enough demand to drain it faster than the workers can make it. Even in my 1K+ population towns. Even with 10 construction offices full of workers, the building system is one building at a time mostly. so there is certain limits on drain/hour and the forestry when near trees in the early game, just create massive amount of wood, compared to the drain. Enabling Labor By Hand Deliveries helps most buildings, especially in the early game, as it can slow down buildings if the workers has to gather stuff.

[@PatmosIV]

Thank you for your insights! Everybody reading this can take the benefits from it!

No way yo obtain iron through mining? Uncool
