The Successor to Banished? - Settlement Survival (Part 1)

[@russelljacob7955]

Less than 2 minutes in. "Here is a map, start wherever you want" No gimmicky restriction or forced start location, a good opener for sure.

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

sounds good...only thing to top that would be if the map can auto generate further 'as needed' like in factorio... though wont this kind of game get a bit stale without any dynamic combat related threats to put some pressure behind challanges from nature aka cold resource consumption etc ?

[@GamesAndElectronica]

I like the European building style as civilisation begins in a fir forest in Africa.

and then you have to build houses close to the market. there is your gimmicky restriction complete dealbreaker

Banished is one my my favorite games of all time. If this is able to live up to the standard set by Banished, then this is definitely something I'm interested in.

[@severusslave]

Watched about 3 minutes an dimmediately bought the game on steam. After 870 hours of Banished, I seriously doubt that I will experience buyer's regret.

[@pershop4950]

what do you think about it, 3 weeks later?

[@severusslave]

@@pershop4950 I thoroughly enjoy it, it is delightfully complex and challenging enough to keep me coming back for more for hours-long playtime! 53 hours in 3 weeks while working later: I love it!

[@treezen522]

@@severusslaveI heard there were so many bugs inside the game.

[@severusslave]

@@treezen522 I would not say there are none, but it's the usual amount for a rather newish game. Just over the Easter holidays there was a major update and Bugfix by the devs. And those are regular. I find that I can deal with that type of behaviour way better than mods or add-ons that I have to download from 3rd parties.

[@MINIMAN10000]

If I put 100 hours into a game it's already to late to have buyers regret because I deem it money well spent. Regardless of why I spent 100 hours in a game clearly I cared enough I didn't alt+F4 and never return.

[@sushantomajumder734]

Looks like Banished with foundation Grafics. Looking forward to see more of this game.

[@rasaecnai]

I am happy indie game devs still makes Banished like games. I love that game despite its flaws. I feel this strange loneliness whenever I imagine starting a new game (must be the atmosphere and the sound of that game).

[@thefoxcrimson]

It was Pravus, actually, that made me interested in Banished. :) This game is seriously a spiritual successor to Banished. It even has that colonial charter mod feel into it, with the technology, advanced resources. Oh yes. This is something I'll most likely pick up in the future.

[@giannis_kapelakos]

Banished was good. Like REALLY good. But it was getting old. This truly is a game changer

[@retest6658]

You are not lying when you said it is so much more than Banished. In Banished, I feel stranded. In this one, I feel like exploring.

[@dennissvitak148]

14:30 "The game does progress very fast." Dude. You've been at 10x speed the entire time. Sheesh.

[@TrollDragomir]

While the enjoyment of this game for me will for the most part come down to gameplay, I sure will miss the rustic cozy naturalistic graphic style of Banished.

[@Nathouuuutheone]

"sawmill and water sawmill also complete this task" You didn't want the chopping house. You didn't need it either.

[@matheff71]

14:27 Pravus: I will set time to 10x, it's the only reasonable speed I think Also Pravus: This game does progress really fast! Love the channel so far, new subscriber here!

[@brookaleemac7533]

I really love banished, have about 400 hours on steam. For me a deal breaker is always games that introduce currency. Banished is all trade and I really appreciate that about the game.

[@teafx3]

Definitely getting this game to play over the holiday break. Its UI is so much more polished than Banished (which is understandable, given that Banished was the first successful game of this type, so they were bound to miss a few elements). I love the tech tree element, which - if memory serves - Banished did not have.

[@george-stefanleoca1319]

Banished will never be topped. I miss having 200k food and a few cities.

[@gammaraider]

The one thing I really miss in Banished is the lack of an economy or real trade that can lead to progression. After the first 70 or so citizens when everything stabilizes, it's just more of the same. Endless sprawl of wooden shacks, giant surplus of goods that I can't sell to actually advance my town. Sure I can trade some, but once you have all the seeds that's basically it. My town of 500 is sitting on a giant pile of iron, stone, wood, mutton and wool jackets which is absolutely worthless. Rich as hell, can't even build a 2-story home.

[@robertnett9793]

Hm... Pravus making a series. About the successor of one of his most beloved games... I see this as a win :D

[@pershop4950]

This is interesting because of all the games mentioned in the last few months/year or so, about which games are similar to Banished, I don't think I had ever heard of this one. And yet, just looking at it, along with menu options that each building does, it is even more similar to Banished than the other games that had been mentioned previously. It's almost literally like Banished except with new graphics and few more concepts added, which is typical of a sequel.

[@colebuckhart]

Crazy how similar to banished this is, but with better UI, more vibrant graphics and seemingly much deeper. Looks great.

[@LabTech41]

It's interesting that the game has an Easter Island scenario for it's hard mode that has decreased wood production. It's a nod to the fact that the inhabitants of the island, who called it Rapa Nui, caused the downfall of their civilization by cutting down their forests for ship-building and Moai construction. By the time they realized that they'd destroyed their ability to produce wood in meaningful amounts, it was too late, and by the time the West contacted the inhabitants there, there was only a handful of people left.

[@jannikgabriel]

This is likely a misconception. A more modern approach is, that the Rapa Nui died because of diseases brought by Europeans. As well as their ecosystem which was heavily attacked by diseases, parasites and mice brought with the Europeans. There are evidences, that the society was quite stable up to the arrival of the European.

[@LabTech41]

@@jannikgabriel Fair enough; what's clear is that the downfall of the civilization there was due to an environmental imbalance that upset the system that allowed large-scale social structures to function. Only question is whether it was internal or external factors that brought it about.

[@confusedturtle183]

A Steam review for anyone wanting to buy this game, just please consider this: "This game seems amazing at first, the graphics are nice, the music goes well, the load times aren't too crazy & the UI is pleasant to use But after about a good 3-5 hours, this is by far the most infuriating Colony sim/City builder i have played, and I hate that i kept thinking I could overcome this game's problems instead of immediately uninstalling & just spending my weekend on ANY other city builder. If you're gonna give this a try, be warned. You can't notice the faults in the first 2 hours of the refund period 1. LACK OF DESCRIPTION: This is a chinese game that's been translated. And as a result, the item description for LITERALLY everything in game is cut off. Like the in-game description starts off with "Peach: This is grown in Orchards, its a rough food so long term consumption results in-" The end. Like... you couldn't even find a way to squeeze in the proper description for each item? Or shrink the font size so it fits in? In mandarin i suppose the characters have the full length, but not in english for sure. On top of that the game's mechanics are VERY hidden/confusing, im not sure if this is a translating issue There's multiple difficulties but other than saying "the resources are harder to find", it doesn't say much else. Not the fact that winters are 3x longer, arrive sooner and there's lower temperatures. Nope. Each citizen has both health & Life. You'd think one of them indicates whether someone is alive or not. Absolutely not, i have had citizens that drop to 0 health & 0 life and still live. Other times, my 1 citizen dipped to 0 health but full life and instantly died 2. Impossible/Frustrating mechanics. A lot of reviews with in-depth time have mentioned this but this game's citizen carrying priorities are so screwed Let's say your tailor is producing clothes for the winter for your small town of 15 people. He will literally keep producing UNTIL HE HAS 40 CLOTHES. He won't ever drop it off and he'll start wandering around doing other things like chopping trees etc. Your entire town could be freezing to death, and he WON"T EVEN wear it either to save himself The game is hard-coded to drop off things ONLY when your citizen is full... just why? Take a clue from banished/rimworld/timberborne/LITEARLLY any other city builder jesus. There's no cart-person either that takes stuff from workshops and puts it into central storages either Speaking of storage, you cannot have your citizens prioritize a certain storage either Let's say you build 5 plots of farm land far away from the city. And you build a warehouse close to it for them to store Your citizens will IGNORE IT. And spend 10% of their time harvesting and 90% of the time walking to the warehouse that's 50 miles away, until that one is full Sure, you can "trick the game" by turning off that storage & turning it on later, but why? Why is there no "radius" for picking stuff to store in? Or choosing a storage manually? 3. Technology: This is literally the worst designed tech tree in the planet. You passively get resource points that become harder and harder to unlock as you get more I'm not even sure if its mathematically possible to unlock all the tech tree options no longer how long you play. And a lot of the tech trees aren't like "This would be nice to have, faster roads" No. They're tech options that literally decide whether or not you Live or DIE. Notice how most games scale up the technology tree? Beginner technology = 1 point, intermediate = 2, end-game technology =4? Its designed this way so that you don't have guns & missiles without knowing how to purify drinking water Except in settlement survival, all tech costs the same. And some technology trees have NO USE other than just... serving as a catalyst for others Research a clay pit? Great -> Wait another year to unlock water mill -> Wait another year after to unlock the loom to spin cloth -> Wait another year to unlock the tailor! Until then, most of the technology is pointless. While the tailor is considered almost critical to survive winter 4. RNG RNG RNG. Its one thing to have a tiny amount of healthy RNG, like different map types, different goods on a merchant ship Its another thing to have rng in POPULATION GROWTH. There are games where i literally have 80-20 gender split. Like seriously? I get a wave of immigrants and they're ALL WOMEN. Either implement polygame or fix this jesus RNG when it comes to unlocking certain seeds wouldn't be so bad, when some crops are blatanty overpowered (Hello beans & peas kingdom.) Also, so many other crops are pointless like cherries, lettuce etc. Like if you're planning to implement them in the future then sure, otherwise they're just a "Hah! You thought it was grapes, but it i was I the USELESS CHESTNUT Tree!!" Or at least put a food variety in the game RNG when it comes to unlocking cotton/flax for BASIC SURVIVAL is not how it should be. RNG when it comes to unlocking seeds for potatoes/agave for alcohol processing is just frustrating. Sure, you can get it from the merchant ship after paying off a truck load of money. But its meant for mid-game once you're established ( which btw, you lead a colony of drunkards. If they don't get alcohol, their happiness lowers and they're -20% efficiency, effectively killing your colony as everything else slows down) TLDR: Incomplete translations. Broken individual citizen game mechanics. Severely lacking optimization options for a veteran city builder. Buy this game maybe a full year later after they've patched it like crazy. Avoid it for now"

[@artwingtonr.4647]

This reviewer is being dramatic. I'm nearing the end game now with about 800 people on hard difficulty, and this is my first try. Most of these issues are minor. The tech tree and high trading costs are meant to keep the game going for longer. If I could unlock the tech tree and seeds/animals quickly, I would have reached the end game too early and get bored. I have been on this run for more than 5 days and I still have more stuff to unlock, and I think that's a good thing.
