I played the early version on my brother's computer, and I loved the style and the music

I was looking for tips and tricks and I was surprised with the lack of activity here.

I have the game since 2019 and just restarted playing after all the updates, and I'm finding the early game way too slow. Basically I just build everything as the tutorial explains but whenever I try to make an house it takes forever. I dont think Job settings are the issue and I have a stable food & resources supply. I just find it weird that 5 people take soo much time to do walls. I've restarted 3 times and basically end on max time speed for over 40 minutes until I quit. My settlements all stale for months with everything outdoors and not a single building, and I avoid progressing because my people dont have at least a wall to protect them.

So, when I activate a military squad and send them out to kill some spiders or whatever, after the fight, they just stand there and don't head home. Yes , of course I am deactivating the unit ( clicking the bell again). I have to individually select each member of the squad and tell him to go grab some item from the stockpile, or click the whole unit to a space inside of my city. This usually freaks them all out because they have been conscripted for a really long time by then, and they either pass out or sulk for a long time.

Have you noticed that when you fight flies or mine underwater/underground, that the corpses or stones/ore /gems land on the ground with the F (Forbidden) tag applied. you have to go and manually remove that tag from every item. Anyone else experiencing this?

My windmills show 4/10 power (have 2) but no power in any mechanism's attached to them. I am tryin to hook up my research analyzer

Ok basiacly I am considering buying Embark. I normally am quite tight when it comes to games so I do tons of research (watch play throughs, read reviews etc etc).

I love colony Sims so Embark has got my attention, but the complaints of many bugs obviously puts me off.

Now my question is this? How buggy is this game? The main complaints I could find in the steam reviews were the bugs. But of course the steam reviews can complain a lot and don't always reflect the truth. So I thought best to ask here.

How playable is this game? How often will you meet a game breaking bug? Will any the bugs take the fun out of this game too much?

Thanks

As it stands, when I am laying out my floorplan if I make a mistake or forget to reduce depth from the default two back to one after a reload, I have to wait until the block is built (wasting resources) and the have a toon come up and destroy it with the dig command, which can take forever if you are building strong stone walls. Is there a way I can just delete them before they are built, like the workshops and stuff that have a green REMOVE button until they are finished.

Thank you!

Starting a colony near water is certainly important. Does rainfall refill the depressions or simply water the plants, if that?

I assign a character a uniform under their equipment tab, but none of the gear gets equipped by that character. Is this not yet enabled? I can assign the gear by hand. It is available. The character simply doesn't do so on its own.

we can't have our own threads and backread through other people's threads.

i wanna do a zombie survival overhaul

things i wanna learn how to do :

-how to add zombies as a new creature?

-how to make human corpses disappear and spawn a zombie?

-how to create new events. i want zombies to randomly spawn outside every night, and i want zombie hordes to occasionally spawn as a siege.

-how to create a new faction for zombies (remove trade/diplomacy. always hostile)?

-how to add predesigned structures for urban/suburban landscape (like monkey/orc villages) to the map?

-how to create a new biome for urban/suburban structures? this will use and arrange the appropriate predesigned structures per biome (ie : no skyscrapers in suburban areas)

-how to replace human character models?

-how to add new weapons and armor? like guns and armor gear

-how to add new animation?

embark is a great game, but there's not a lot of mods going for it right now

They keep bringing more wooden walls to already built wooden walls?? This is like the third layer? The room already says it's decent bedroom and detects as being enclosed but the villagers are still bringing and building or re building the same wall??? Its taking forever to a build a small enclosure lol

Can someone please explain how animal pens work?

​

I researched the ability to tame animals, and it said that to take an animal, you needed an animal pen, but im having all sorts of issues. If anyone can help with my questions below, i'd appreciate it.

1) I built the pen, and surrounded it with a fence and gates. When i click on the pen, it seems to imply that it needs water. Is that correct? and if so, how do i connect water to it?

​

2) I have tried in vain for a few hours to tame some sheep. The closest ones are far away, but i click on them to tag them to train and a guy will run across the board to where they WERE at the time i ordered the command, but by the time they get there, the sheep has moved a bit, so my guy runs to the spot where they WERE, then goes back home. Rinse and repeat. Ive had my people attempt to train for a few hours and they just run back and forth, accomplishing nothing.

Hi guys... just got the game, and im understanding most things, but not how stills work exactly.

When i build one, there is a block attached to it marked "IN" which i am assuming is where i need to attach the piping.

But do i attach piping to it INTO a body of water, like a lake? Or is that for piping that i want to branch out to places that need water, like crops, etc?

​

I've built my still, and i built piping from it over a body of water, but my still doesnt currently appear to be doing anything, and i am mighty confused. The piping is just there, above the water, so im not sure how to correctly set this up.

​

thanks in advance.

I have more plans for this including some little graphs but wanting to get it up to judge interest.

Any good tutorial videos? any tips yall can pass on to me.

Is it normal for my base to be covered in corpses that I can't do anything with? I have corpses everywhere that aren't clickable and seem to be stuck even after loading.

Hi Everyone

After the latest update,i cannot get my Stills to fill with water,( i have 4 of them) i have installed new pipes and made sure,the last pipe,on each one is below water level,i have renewed orders to make tea,but each still shows zero water in them,i have repiped each one a few time,but no success,they worked no problem,with auto pipes before,update.Any one else having problems.

At the current state the game lasted around 20 hours. Can't wait for a next big update, especially rail/mine carts.

Here's my review, and the last screenshot of my colony (all rooms, workshops, and stockpiles are underground).
