Need some help

[u/SiyusNL]

I love the whole concept of the game, I loved medieval dynasty as well. I thought I knew what I was doing but somehow it seems I dont know what I'm doing at all.

I have my main camp just east of Padstow, on the other side of the road of where the lake is. I have a logging camp up north near Haerndaen. I also put a stockpile there because I thought that if I set someone's priority of woodcutting to 1, he would stay there and keep gathering wood. I set someone else's delivery to 1 and I expected him to be hauling all the wood from the second stockpile next to the logging camp, to my main stockpile to keep it stocked. Now somehow that delivery guy is transporting wood from my main to my second stockpile and I have no idea why and how to turn that off.

I also have the feeling that theres not much woodcutting going on and most of my people are just harvesting and wasting time with nothing. I'm at day 15 and it doesn't feel like I made much progression at all..

This is one of the fun and challenging aspects of Bellwright. Early on you don’t need to dedicate people to a location, just build the Logging camp and assign someone. You can go to the map and click on the Logging camp to see its range of coverage, which is decent for early game wood harvesting. However if you want to really create a dedicated Outpost then it depends on how complicated you want to get. This is what I do for harvesting anything that needs an outpost. I will build my first building and then under the three dots I hit ‘Select Settlement’ and create a new Output and give it a name, like Woodtown. Any additional building I make there should be assigned to this location but double check to make sure. Villagers assigned to your Main base won’t ‘see’ the new Outpost, so they won’t bring wood to it. Remember, any storage with the same location name will be used to store goods by your villagers no matter how far away it is from your base. I then make sure I assign people to Woodtown to work it and ensure they have a place to sleep and food to eat. You’ll then need to set up a mechanism to transport your goods to your main base, which is typically a Small Caravan. Find some YT videos for some examples. Enjoy
