[@typhoonoftempest]

RCE, what you may wish to do is have a couple of hauler posts and/or builder post that are set to "low" or "very low" priority to act as population sinks. So when you don't have jobs up, these buildings will soak the additional pops and release them when you DO have more jobs available.

[@michaelsorensen7567]

Researchers are another good place for that

[@SallinKari]

Yep, that's what I like to do. I don't micro priorities like him, instead I have hauler and builders to soak up extra jobs.

[@ventsislavminev]

This. Another thing I find super useful is to play as if the highest priority doesn't exist. Keep it reserved for just 1 thing that you want immediately built. Until it's built don't put anything else on it.

[@timepass4783]

Thing is RCE never has extra beavers🙂 always more jobs than beavers

[@angelcatano]

Playing with strategy is not his style.

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

A) youll need a few more Decontamination Pods B) you need to move the Decontamination pods closer to the town center C) you need food and water nearby the Decontamination pods These 3 things will GREATLY increase the effectiveness of the pods by drastically reducing the travel time when they get hungry or thirsty. Otherwise it takes ages as they get hungey and thirsty faster and walk slower.

[@russelljacob7955]

Moreso he needs districts. As it is, the beavers will spend literally half their working days just getting to their jobs. Districts are much more manageable and easy to use now than when game came out.

[@TheBaldrickk]

Even more, he needs to avoid going in the bad water, by making a platform above it they can build from

[@GeneGear]

@@TheBaldrickk Yeah he can literally build scaffolding above the water and he just...doesn't do it.

[@chnet968]

And maybe some place to sleep. I don't know why they can't sleep while in the pods though.

[@demichi_]

neh, he needs more districs, that will solve the 3 problems... the "bad watter workers" on his own distric with only a few importing watter and food and exporting badwatter

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

Instead of trying to brute force it... put some small water tanks near the water pumpers and set the tanks to "Supply" and prioritize it by haulers. Then change the setting on the 4 medium water tanks to "Obtain" and again prioritize by Haulers. You can then unprioritize haulers at the water pumps, this will make the pumpers carry their product to the near by Supply tanks and Haulers will haul the water from Supply to Obtain tanks. You can also use these Supply and Obtain settings on other storages to increase productivity by having the Haulers focus on moving from small supply storages to your main large storage area set to obtain. Oh also having a Hauling Post near/between the production areas and main storage helps reduce their travel time and allows them to focus on things in their hauling posts area rather than traveling all over in chaos. Its not much but every little bit of efficiency adds up over time and makes life so much easier.

[@Grz349]

You can do the reverse for food, have a few spread out so beavers don't have to go long distances' for food.

[@AroundTheBest]

I disagree. I think it's better to have the haulers prioritize the pumps themselves as it keeps their productivity higher while allowing the haulers to do the hauling. You should still have a supply tank and an obtain tank near the district center.

[@Mike__B]

maybe it's just me, but I would build decontamination pods closer to where the beavers normally interact, i.e. nearer to town, so if you have someone moving at a snails pace super slow it doesn't take forever to get all the way to the decontamination area then whoops I'm hungry now gotta go back.

[@wolfyblackknight8321]

thats what I did. I also blasted a small channel out near where RCE put the badwater discharge and put up some levees to make a bad water holding tank type area, put some pumps on the top and set up my badwater refinement and treatment area not to far from where he has his industrial area across the river, so if anything happened they could heal up just a short walk from the town then I set up my industrial area further down river and uses gravity batteries to help offset the large amount of power needed until my "solution" to said power needs was finished.

[@cefcephatus]

Collaboration with Safety Third channel might be a good idea.

[@anialator1000000]

For suspension bridges, their best uses to cross really deep gaps, but they are deceptively useful. A 3 tile bridge can cross a 3 tile gap even if it looks like its short a little bit. And you can build them from either end, meaning you can cross a 6 tile gap using two 3 tile bridges without anything underneath them or having access to the other side by just having the 2 support sections be on their side of the wall and the suspended ends connecting. Of course you do need that extra tile of space as they can't get on the bridge from the side at all. If you want to cross something like a 10 or so tile gap using 3 tile bridges, you will need to place one bridge in the center by building one bridge first, then stacking 1 tile of platforms to build a 2nd one on, and then you can flip the 3rd. tit looks kind of ugly but it works, and you can then cross that gap without having ever set foot on the other side be before

[@ragerancher]

Matt with 25 job vacancies: "Why am I having to high prioritise everything?" You have 50% more jobs than you have beavers to do them. Also 1700 power, you can get that from 4/5 large water wheels in series with a restricted width river, which would have been much much cheaper than spamming the small ones.

[@kaloggeorge6791]

You should propably provide some basic services such as living quarters and a small water and food storage next to the decondamination pods so contaminated beavers wont have to go back and forth and will heal faster.

[@fendalynn6604]

Building living quarters there without having a separate district is a horrible idea. At least before badwater, beavers did not prioritize where they sleep based on where they work/are. Therefore, if you have two separate work areas, building barracks in both could lead you to having beavers move from one area to the other all the time. This is the true power of districts, as district gates allow you to set quite well the quantity of food/water/ressources that should go through them, and therefore ensure you only have haulers/gate workers (who transport twice as much) walking long distances.

[@oddlyoaktree]

I definitely think you should add roofs to your buildings... I mean, designing a house with a flat roof is literally what an architect would do... 😬

[@Grz349]

Such an architect move 😅

[@bligabliga]

how much does a roof cost?? nothing. its on the house

[@morganredstone5875]

Gotta love how he puts platforms for the shafts in the fresh water, but insists on building under badwater.

[@TheBlobik]

initially it was supposed to be built during drought so that it does not matter, but then RCE realized part of the shaft goes through a natural reservoir, that does not dry out during short droughts. And instead of a platform fix the decontamination pods were put in probably partially out of curiosity. He did learn they are not a perfect solution, though (hopefully)

[@Adrobiel]

[@TheSuperTrousers]

2:30 “Turdbine” was right there…

[@takumi2023]

You should think about terrafor😢😢ming the mountains near your base to give you more place to build/farm on. There's too many inefficiency in the pathing and storages that's hampering your growth and sustainability. You may want to look into food situation too. Running out of food usually means either you don't have enough stored or you're not producing any. Since the majority of your higher quality food requires power, you should pause the industry during drought so they have something to eat instead of draining the power for construction. Also contaminated beavers won't work so you are losing workers everytime you put a beaver in bad water.

[@Jackesfox]

Mat really need to build a gravity battery

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

Not really, gravity batteries are really only useful for the Folktails to compensate for the windmills’ mechanics. Once the poo-powered system is complete Matt will have a power source that never goes away.

[@patrickiamonfire965]

Why didn't build the Decontamination near the main settlement? The time it takes them to reach it would reduced by a huge margin which would allow them to complete healing. Also the Beaver that died in old age had a shortened lifespan due to be afflicted which reduced their stats meaning the blood is still in your hands.

[@cgstudiosthebaconbro]

Matt u should build some food and water storage closer to the badwater area so that they can spend more time healing instead of walking

[@raphaellouzada7639]

Matt, if you had kept that water inlet 1 block depth you could keep that reservatory 1 block high during the dry season, because this way you whould pump 1 block from that reservatory but when its level gets equalts to the inlet it should stop to be pumped even if you keep pumping the main reservatory

[@bligabliga]

add more homes to increase your workforce for your next projects. add more food production and water storage. and maybe reward them with a dance hall so they can party after work.

[@GokuSS400]

So...the biggest thing I think you should do to improve things here is that you need to stop focusing everything in the center of town. You need to start thinking in terms of hubs. If one area is going to have a lot of activity then it needs food and water supplies near it. As it stands you have food and water monopolized in the center of town. Contaminated beavers have -70% walking speed so it takes them almost twice as long to get anywhere, especially with the decontamination pods being on the other side of civilization...that's risking a huge disease outbreak. If you create a lot more breeding pods (and reset all priorities to zero) you can have builders and haulers be the ones who are essentially the "unemployed" beavers (basically the ones who aren't doing a specific task). I recently started playing The Universim and the logic of workers works similarly in that game. Any adult that is not assigned to a specialty job is classified as a "Laborer" and they are required for all your construction work.

Fun fact: you can build platforms *over* power shafts. If you lay them down in the badwater first, you can build power shafts underneath from the safety of a nice dry pier!
