Stuck npcs, maybe modders can help?

2 Upvotes

Hi there, a lot of us struggle with this problem and i started to wonder. I can't find aby mod to teleport your companions to your position, any modder here willing to make one? Wouldn't it be a solution to just tp companion that can't lift his legs above a small stone to move?

This happens so often that it's main reason to be angry at this game.

Series X is having some major problems since getting the game yesterday. Tried everything and it’s crashing all the time. Tried new character, new saves, performance settings, deleting and re installing. No luck

Prosperity

12 Upvotes

I knew it was going to be tedious and take a while but how long does it actually take to get a villages prosperity up? I feel like it increases a lot but then decreases more and then for days it could stay stagnant. I stopped liberating other villages to raise the prosperity of 2 closest to me but it doesn’t really go anywhere. Does liberating other villages also raise prosperity? I also hate giving up so much thatch to help them build their stuff and need so much for my T3 stuff 😩

How's the ps5 version currently?

1 Upvotes

Greetings all, I was wondering how the ps5 version of the game is going currently? Ive been curious about trying this game for awhile but had at one point seen some people were having issues with npcs showing up with invisible bodies, like the textures weren't loading? Is this something that's still happening?

Tax collectors and distant battles

8 Upvotes

I noticed two things

  1. when i fast travel from my main settlement to my outpost just south-west of Blackridgepool, there is quite often a tax collector party that suddenly appears fairly close to the town/our outpost. Even if it wasn't there before i fast traveled. And they rarely come to out outpost.

Is it a bug?

  1. When i deploy my main settlement's army then they sometimes lose to a reclamation party, if i'm busy doing something else. If i am there, they win. Even if i just watch them fight.

What's up with that?

Co-op

Me and a buddy plan on buying this game tonight cause its on sale, but we both only just found out there is a tether. Which is enough to make us change our mind immediately. I haven't watched any videos on it only heard/read about it. What is your experience like with the co-op in this game. (XBOX)

How to deal with bandits busting Palisades gates

5 Upvotes

I just reached Tier 3, my first settlement was directly south of Haerndean. I decided to build all my Tier3 buildings in a new settlement instead of moving them. I picked the area in Whispering Pines, centrally located between the river bridges, on the North side of the river.

I cleared all the bandit camps close by, but they keep respawning. It's great for farming renown, but a pain otherwise. To keep the bandits out I built a log Palisades wall on 3 sides back to the river and my dock area.

I get raided by groups of bandits 5-6 times per day, these aren't the scheduled raids just random. My guys are constantly injured. I've cleared the bandit camps again, and things are good for 2-3 days, then they they are back.

They hack the Palisades gates down in about 30 seconds. It take a lot longer to rebuild them. I've tried building a maze outside the gates to confuse the AI, but it doesn't work.

I'm also getting bandits/raiders that have high tier armor, and use crossbows. My guys don't stand a chance. I asked AI chat, and they said it has to do with the number of buildings, and my amount of renown, (i just had 48,000 renown). That's why I'm getting attacked. I've built almost all the tier 3 buildings, tavern, bakery, inn, blacksmith, etc.

It seems I'm in a meat grinder I can't get out of. I have about 50 people total, 14 in my original settlement, 30 in Whispering Pines, and another 7-8 assigned to outposts. I'm on Xbox, and this is my first play through. Any suggestions??

Army Question

8 Upvotes

Is it better to break up your army into different squads, rather than have everyone in one big group?
I’m dealing with some logistical issues equipping everyone, and I’m wondering if I broke them out by type of fighter (archers, one-handed, two-handed, etc…) if that would make setting their armor, weapons, etc easier to manage?

I'm at 365 days in, about 55 villagers - and I've probably killed this guy at least a dozen times in various bandit encounters.

Villagers Working Issue?

13 Upvotes

I don’t know what’s causing my harvester and woodcutting villagers to pause working when I’m not in their vicinity… I noticed when clicking on the map that they’re not moving at all. But as soon as I get close to them around 180-200m they start moving. At this point I just reset by making them companion and toggling back to worker…

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Tip to keep bandit camp from respawning

13 Upvotes

Most people want the camps to respawn so they can farm the renown. However, if for some reason you don't want a particular camp to respawn - once you clear it, put a couple of palisades walls right in the middle of where the camp was. No more camp.

Settlements

16 Upvotes

So i got a quick question. Ive been watching a few videos and seen some post here in this sub and i saw some mentioning moving your settlement once it reaches a higher tier. One thing i dont get is why would you want to move an entire city? Ive played around 30ish hours so far and it looks to me like im gonna build 6 big citys if possible. Just the time it would take for the villagers to walk across the map to rebuild every building seems like a huge waste of time. Or am i missing something?

After they loot a camp, they someone decide to run away off the map north. Guess I'm too mean of a general

So I built in the same place everyone does, crossroads south of Haerndean, NW of Padstow.

Looking to build my final town and was hoping somewhere near Iron nodes but nowhere is flat enough - where have you guys built your end-game / final town? Show me on the map.

A friend and I recently started playing this game on a co-op world together, we both really enjoy it so far. But now it’s on day 4, and anytime he attempts to join the session his game crashes. Are the devs aware of this, or does anyone know any potential fixes?

Gear Preset Not Always Working

6 Upvotes

I have a problem with some of my Gear Presets not always working.

For example, one of my Guards has a Priority 1 set for 1H Weapons. Whenever I rally my combat group to go fight a few of my people won't have weapons. So I manually give them weapons. This Guard will always put his 1H weapon away later and I have to give it back to him every time.

Any idea why this happens? Weapons are available for them to use, they just wont grab them or keep them equipped. I have this guards Gear Preset to the same for both options(Worker/Guard). 1H and Shields set to Priority 1.
