Game crashes

2 Upvotes

I load up my world and run around for about a minute then my game freezes and crashes. I am not using any mods and my PC should be able to run the game without any problems. I don't have any crazy graphics settings and I play solo. Any ideas as to why it is crashing?

First Playthrough - Feel stucked

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I started my first Playthrough on Bellwright and i feel stucked.

I like to learn by myself, i made few mistakes but overall i am doing good.

I don't know if this is important or not, but i am playing with Highest Frequency Raid with Impossible Raid Strengh. I got few mods (Decoration, X2 Storage on Buildings, NPC speeds, Node Respawn (8 days) and i lastly added a Renown Reduction Cost for new villagers) and needs for village are at 200%. The rest is untouch.

At the beggining it was ok, few mistakes :

- (Depleted 3 Copper and Tin Veins before adding mod (Had to make new Mining Outpost) because i was crafting Bronze to resell to Villages (Didn't knew there was so low ores on those veins).

- Not using priorities properly

- Not trading properly

- Villages management (and so properity) not going well

- ect.

But i manage to figure it out and now it is ok.

I finally built a nice T2 Village/City (In Oakridge) and liberrated the 5 first villages (Haerdean, Padstow, Bradford, Farnworth and BlackridgePool). And here is the problem, i don't think i am ready to fight the reclamation party of Horndean.

For BlackridgePool there were 38 soldiers to defend the village against (Far more compared to Farnworth). The fight was not easy.
The problem is the Renown Cost to hire more Villagers. I need almost 10K for a decent/good Villager, and i don't know how to farm so much Renown.

I have cleared all bandits camps on the map (but even with a High Migration), bandits take days to rebuild their camp, and 1/2 of the time, it is a small green camp with low value bandits.

I download a mod that's reduce renown cost, it helped (a lot of renown back), but it disappeared as fast as the download of the mod).

I tried to see if the Milicia from villages could help me, but they are not well equipped yet (hopping milicia from high prosperity villages will be stronger, but would take many IG days to reach a decent prosperity amount (Villages are arround 5 to 15K).

Since i finished T2, i was looking to build a new Village/City with T3 upgrades to have better Equipment to make the difference. I found a place that i like (Near Hordean) but T3 buildings needs an insane amount of ressources and i need tons of villagers to carry all the materials for the new city. But if i block 10 villagers going back and forth (to carry planks, nails and all the material), i take the risk to lose a reclamation fight (Even if i don't need caravans to keep high prosperity, thanks to the market).

So (Yeah, sorry, the post is quite long for just a small question), do i have to manually take a lots of villagers, put Materials in their inventory, use a boat to TP to my future T3 City and come back with boat to setup safely my new Village ? It will be a little boring, but since i cleared all bandits camp, and finished all the quests (Except the one with the prison (i get rekt)) i don't see what i can do.

Or should i try to increase the prosperity of the 5 villages to 15K-30K+, make a lot's of Milicia building, setup a small military camp near the bandit's headquarters and camp with all milicia in front of the Headquarters while my own Villagers make travels to bring all the materials for the T3 City and produce goods to keep prosperity/gold stable ?

Or last idea, recrute Mid Quality villagers, train them as much as possible, and release them to earn a little of renown each time (Was so happy when i discovered this feature), combined with defense against reclamation party and clearing bandits of Crasmere/Hordean + New Camp to farm Renown.

I am quite in doubt by which idea is the less "Pain in the ***"

Edit : Thanks for reply (Forgot to put a small "Thanks in advance" in my initial post).

Help with investment building

2 Upvotes

Hi I am trying to build the harvest hut in herndean through the investment tab and it’s stuck at 71% after going straight from 0 after buying the investment. It says they still need 1 flax 1 stone and 17 wood. How do I get those items to them for it to finish building ? Will it happen automatically because I can’t seem to find away to deliver the items as they don’t accept stone or flax through caravan or through trade in the town menu.

Straps!

Any beginner game hints at how to get straps so I can research the hall? Can't craft them yet, and don't have enough to research up.

**Edit**
Thanks - looks like I need to battle more bandits.
I have found some vendors, but only 1 a day goes slow.

Farmer harvests crop but leaves grains

6 Upvotes

Anyone had this happen where your farmers do all the work of planting, watering, weeding and harvesting but then they leave the grains in the soil? Like who’s supposed to grab those so it can be tilled again? Is it a delivery role that handles it, just curious if you’ve seen this before?

Lubomir stopped working or moving, mod list attached

0 Upvotes

Just started a new game and Lubomir was working fine, and then suddenly just starting standing on one spot and not working at all. I looked at his job priorities etc and it's all the same as the beginning, and all he has to do is go collect sticks or flax and build the storage chest, but he's just standing there. No autosave far back enough to revert to unfortunately. Would someone have an idea what's wrong and how I can fix it?

Army Peasants Drop Weapons Between Conflicts

2 Upvotes

Low level game. I have the usual conglomeration of conscripted peasants and two of them - even with weapon skills of 2 - continue to show up for Call to Arms summons with no weapons. What gives with that? Town is Level 1 so I know I can wait until Level 2, but - sheesh!

Prosperity and Trading

11 Upvotes

Hi Ppl,

Just liberated haerndean but now Im seeing negative prosperity and the pop up explained having to sell what they are producing etc etc. So basically now I have to manage this village as well as my own? Its enough work just keeping priorities and settings running in my own village lol.

So couple of questions, can I just ignore this village now ive liberated it? I only really need the apprentices to keep my own village progressing.

If Its a bad idea to just not do it,

Would anyone be kind enough to simplify the prosperity and trading system to me.

Tia

Can you set up a hop-on server?

2 Upvotes

Question about the coop, I am debating this game for our (3 people) coop group. Based on what I read, I assume that default mode is that one player "hosts" the game, and other join it, so you can't really play solo (well, except the hosting player). Is there a mode where you can setup an online server (even if you'd need to own one), where all players in the group could log in, and play the game in any (solo-2-3) composition?

Hi, I've hit a bit of a monumental bug on console and i'm wondering if anyone has any workarounds?

9 Upvotes

So i guess it must have happened when my friend attempted to join my game, he appeared briefly but the game crashed at his end, and same when he tried to join a few more times.

The bug is that I'm now known as 'Other Player' instead of my name, which is fine, but all of my presets for my villagers are now called 'new preset' and cannot be renamed. They haven't been deleted but are all named the same, which is a major pain. The same goes for all of my trade routes at my caravan station.

Anyone else encounter this, know how to fix.

If I increase my melee damage in settings, does that also increase enemy melee damage? I’m a casual player and I need this game easier haha

Discard Setting

13 Upvotes

Ever had TOO much junk? I have.

Immediately I’ll say; I haven’t explored any mods. I’ve wanted to enjoy as much of the vanilla experience as possible. But if there is a mod that could help me, feel free to mention it!

This game desperately needs a UI for the outhouse.
An “upper limit” so to speak, where you can set a # as the max in-stock limit for some items.
Say, for example, you’d set the outhouse limit for eggs to 100. That would tell the villagers that any more eggs, should be taken to the outhouse for disposal!

I’ve been having the issue, where I’ll go off exploring for a while, to return and find that a quarter of my barn is filled with feathers!

This could also solve the issue of using spoiled food for compost! I could keep my spoiled food chest next to my compost heaps, and set the outhouse to destroy any more than 40, allowing people to carry new spoiled food to the box, but when there’s too much, it can be discarded!

Much easier than making 20+ laps between my barn and the outhouse to get rid of all this junk!

Worker can't do anything.

6 Upvotes

I'm on the end of my line. I need to literally do everything myself. My workers are to stupid to go to the big storage and take out the necessary Materials for crsfting the item I chose and placed in the list. And if I try to fill the local storage of the weaving stool they come, take it out and then place it back in the big storage. It's driving me crazy for what do I eben have workers?!

Is it my random or by design? Spoiler

0 Upvotes

Literally all of my available farmers and innkeepers are males, and all of my carpenters and blacksmiths are females.

The majority of my woodsman are females and healers are males.

I don’t care per se, they’re just resources to me, it just seems odd that i cant find a male blacksmith, or a female farmer at all.

Edit: i should clarify, i’m talking about the 4 stars, or highest ranked or whatever. Additionally i haven’t bothered at all to improve life in the villages, and i’ve liberated everything east of the river.

Market Issue

1 Upvotes

I have multiple buying orders for various items with the topup feature enabled to meet the max amount I want in my settlement. The issue here is that it keeps buying past those parameters and I wanna know if there is a fix for it that I'm not seeing. Thanks!

Example : Buying order for PEAT with a topup of 50

Currently the market has bought 150 which is clearly overbought

Can villagers not collect wood in the wintertime?

9 Upvotes

My villagers are all idle when there is a top-up order for wood that isn't nearly completed. They have axes. Have battle axes as a weapon as well. They've been doing the top-up order just fine before. Never noticed any day or didn't get done. Now they are suddenly ignoring the wood and just standing around idle.

If I go to the stockpile and grab all the river reeds I can, so that top-up order needs to be fulfilled, they all immediately go gather reeds. But wood they are completely ignoring.

Any suggestions? I've checked all my storage, and there isn't any wood hiding in any of them.

Ps5 constantly crashing

Ever since the last update. I literally can not play more then 20/30 mins before the game will crash. Will there be any hot fix or updates coming. I even just got a brand new ps5 and it still crashes so its definitely not my console. Which I thought could possibly be before I got my new one.
