My First Frontier - 400ppl - Some questions

Farthest Frontier General Discussion

howdy

so, i’m playing my first run and my city is level 4 now and about 400people

some questions i have:

  1. i couldnt find any good stats to see where my bottleneck is, how do you guys do it? i want to know for example how much normal wood is used by all of my facilities… or how many milk is used at the moment to make the maximum cheese and so on. i know there are stats where i can see what is rotten, but thats not what i am searching for

  2. why do buildings get builded before other buildings which i set a high priority to?

  3. why do i have to level a field about 100 times until it is even, why cant i just apply this job one time and it takes longer and then it is done?

  4. why do i manually always have to compost my fields and cant tell them to do that automaticlly?

  5. when i upgrade the hunter hut, and i did this 4 times, all of this huts now say the hunter cant find any animals anymore, even if i send them to an area where there are definitivly animals. also i can set an amount of traps they should set, but even if i lower the value it always says 4 traps

  6. why dont people pickup their stuff which they left on the ground? (applies to real world to)

  7. i know there are many storages, is there a complete overview for example how many armors are around in my city? and other stuff… i always looked in the trader centre, but there has to be a better way?

  8. sometimes when i click on the dealer, no popup appears, then i have to click another building and then again the dealer, then the popup shows again

  9. why cant free workers not fill up empty slots in the buildings?

  10. what can i do about my own people that they dont start fighting with each other?

  11. and i guess many more but i forgot

thanks

Stats button on the top left.

5

Known bug, fixed in next patch.

6

They do, at least in the game. If it’s during a blizzard they can’t or they’ll die.

7

Press R for the resources tab.

8

It’s a selection bug. I think they’re aware of it. The game treats the Trader as if it’s still selected (demonstrated by the yellow highlight around it).

9

They do, but only on load/certain checks. If villagers die the positions need to be manually filled currently.

10

Don’t build pubs, or increase their happiness.

thanks for the answers!

(1) this stats dont help, i need something like a flow chart… for example 100 woods are gathered, 30 of this wood is used for coal, 50 goes to another station. top left stat doesnt achieve this

(7) will try the R button! any other special buttons you use alot?

(10) really, they fight because they are drunk? hehe… i even tried to build a watch tower, didnt help :stuck_out_tongue:

The stats tells you how much you produce and how much you consume. That’s what I use. If I’m low on a specific resource and the stats page isn’t giving me enough info I check the buildings themselves directly to see how much has been produced in the last year, and whether or not the resources they require are in stock in my city.

I use all of the buttons along the bottom right, just whenever needed. The resources panel (R) has a button next to the Professions panel (P) on the bottom screen.

They fight because they’re TOO drunk :slightly_frowning_face: poor unhappy souls. I think the guard helps, and prevents them from killing each other, but the best way to stop it is either no more pubs or make sure everyone is very, very happy
