small things i wish i’d known
(before i figured them out somehow)
Most of the time you can combine different kinds of grains (wheat, barley, potato, corn) in order to make your final product. For example, if you have 1 potato and 4 wheat, you can use them all together for a single brewing of beer.
You can use pumpkin instead of cabbage.
You can use grapes instead of apples.
Lizard meat, chicken and fish don’t fall in the category of ‘meat’.
You can use 2 dried fish instead of 1 fresh fish and save storage space like this. Dried fish doesn’t go bad.
Scarecrows are useless and waste space. They prevent birds from terrorizing your crops but bird attacks are rare and the only thing they do is take something like 5% off of your plant’s health, making it impossible to even die before it’s harvest time.
The 7-day cooldown for a fence’s takeback only counts if you don’t attend to your garden. So if you’re an active farmer, you don’t need to worry about going back and forth to return and rent your fences.
Talk to everyone! Even people who don’t seem the least bit important sometimes carry knowledge that some important person somewhere will find interesting some day.
Look at everything! Even objects may give you valuable knowledge when you observe them (press R).
When you open your Knowledge menu (press H) and go through knowledge, you get tips on how to acquire certain knowledge when you hover over the ???????s
More knowledge = more energy + influence on people through amity.
Getting a Skilled worker (blue color) through an Employment Officer is fairly easy and not as rare as some people make it out to be, so don’t waste time with lesser workers if you have energy to put into a couple of worker searches.
Workers cannot be moved from a town to another, they can only be fired. They can however work in a node far away from their hometown as long as the nodes are connected but this will take A LOT of time. Don’t get attached to workers!
Horses level up by distance traveled, so you will want to enhance their speed (horseshoes and light gear) if you want to level fast.
The higher the tier, the slower the horse levels up.
Training profession doesn’t influence horse exp gain in any way. As far as we know, it only makes learning better (more pricy) skills more probable.
When riding a wagon, the exp gain is divided between the 2-4 horses.
Wild mares are more rare than stallions. If you want a mare with easier RNG, buy a mare with no breedings left from the market and exchange it with a stallion you’ve caught. The chance of getting a mare this way is 50/50.
You can press Spacebar instead of Enter when selling stuff etc. This changed my life.
