Thanks for the early access! Been following this game for ages! 1. Took me a bit to figure out how to play but now I am up and running. I assume the game will have some form of tutorial? 2. I have my farms, kitchen, and saw mill (i know this is the wrong name) as well as some housing and the game hard crashed. The game is a bit cluttered and I assume once the path finding is improved the people, animals, and monsters will be spread out a bit more. I am please with what I am seeing and I am looking forward to seeing some improvements.
More fuctional stockpiles should help the clustering quite a bit when people need to continuially harvest and shuffle items to their workshops and what have you. Hopefully.
Each time I play I'm figuring it out more. Starting method for me now is 3 farms(2 cabbage 1 wheat) then a kitchen and saw mill. And more farms as people increase.
Yes food is a big one also letting them hunt took me a few tries to figure out. I wish there was a way to un-promote people. I promoted everyone and had no workers left :/ Sometimes my people will eat dead people even when there is food. I am also having a hard time figuring out the jobs. The overseer had a work crew but I do not see a work crew for cooking.
Yes. In the meantime dbaumgart put together this handy survival PDF - http://clockworkempires.com/assets/CE_minimanual_inprogress_2014July18.pdf
