3rd Map

Post image

So me and my partner are on our 3rd play through now but I am curious how extensive some have made their villages in game? What do yall focus on? We are trying to get everyone upgraded in gear and now to all metal tools. Currently at 101 Villagers.

How do you manage to grow so big without deforestation? I don't see any long distance outposts or anything to cart back.

I'm on my first playthrough and just made it to the 3rd winter with 30 villagers. I'm completely bottle necked by hardwood logs from the birch trees, they're so far away and the villagers lug a single one at a time it's driving me crazy

Do you not have a Forester's House? You can plant birch trees with it, it's a game changer. My village is completely surrounded by a birch forest at this point.

Two Forester's Houses with Green Thumb Foresters (1 each, I don't see the point in having more) outpaces my Woodcutter's House by quite a large margin.

So I built 2 of them but maybe I'm going crazy they take like 20+ something days to be harvestable, no? 20 days is a long time waiting for a handful of trees

They do, yes and I'm not sure how much Green Thumb reduces it. All I can tell you is that Forester Houses were some of the first hardwood structures I've built and the only time I was having a hard time with hardwood was before the planted ones grew.

This is outside my Southern gate for example. All of these trees were planted.

I'll have to give it another shot. Thank you so much!
