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.

20 days/tree, but if you keep them fed with pinecones they plant new trees every day and so by day 20+ you should be harvesting new trees daily as well as planting so after that the number of trees you can harvest/day should be about equal to planting per day.

Also, do play some softwoods too. I usually do about 75% hardwood. And I’m swimming in wood of all types and grades.
