Hey guys, it's your lovely Younes again 😄

Wanted to post a quick explanation in case you noticed a couple of my mods vanished from the Workshop today.

A modder named Cosmic Voyage decided to hit my mods with DMCA copyright strikes.

Here’s the reality of the situation:

• His mods haven't worked in over a year. He kept giving people excuses (like not having enough RAM, then magically buying 32GB and still doing nothing), all while keeping donations open. He even told another modder that promising updates keeps the money rolling in.
• People just wanted working mods, so I took Donkey Crew’s current game files, reconfigured the tables from scratch, and uploaded working alternatives for the community.
• You can't copyright base game data tables that belong to the devs, but instead of fixing his own broken mods, he’s abusing Steam’s DMCA system to strike down working ones.

I already filed the legal counter-notices with Valve. Steam will automatically restore the mods in 10 to 14 days once his claim expires.

That said, modding is supposed to be a fun side hobby for the community. Having to deal with legal paperwork and someone trying to protect their donation hustle over basic config files is ridiculous. This kind of petty gatekeeping is a great way to push modders away, and frankly, dealing with this nonsense makes it not worth my time to keep making mods here.

Appreciate everyone who reached out with support.

Life changing.

Hola buenas noches

Tengo mi aldea principal y he creado dos asentamientos

El tema es que uno de los asentamientos, el mas lejano de la aldea, los aldeanos de este lugar se van hacer cosas a mi aldea principal.

Ya revise todo, que viva en el asentamiento que quiero, revise las construcciones y están bien ubicadas (en el asentamiento), revise todo :( ya no se me ocurre qué puede ser.

Hago eso de pasarlos de trabajador a acompañante y luego de nuevo a trabajador, hacen algo en el asentamiento y luego lo cambian a la aldea principal de nuevo, también me pasa que los armo y ponen el arma en el lugar primario pero no la usa nunca!! Tengo que movérselas al segundo lugar y ya revisé el preset de combate :(

Siento que se me han atontado mucho los aldeanos últimamente y no sé si será un bug o que ya he jugado mucho esa partida? Llevo unos 200 días aproximadamente :(.

Agradecería consejos :(

Trying to figure out things that actually sell. I'm in the beginning-ish of T2.

What items do you all sell and make that will actually get sold. It's been great for me buying tin, copper, peat, and logs. But haven't figured out any good selling items yet. What should I be looking into?

Hello, im setting up an outpost and so far i only have 2 villagers here, a t1 forester building, and a mud collector. One of the villagers works fine, but the second villager will not do anything. Wont pick anything up, wont build, and especially wont work the mud collector. Not sure the issue, quite literally nothing else to do, and theres 3 peat spots all in the zone. What can i do to fix this? They have food, no slacker trait if thats a thing, have the tools.

edit: good thing its medieval times, i unlawfully fired my villager.... then i waddled through the snow back home!

Didnt realize it started snowing as soon as I started setting it up. Thanks guys, sorry.

Storage, workers, outposts are all lined up and. Organised the way i thought was best but I’m losing my mind and getting overwhelmed , but it’s the same feeling each time I boot up even tho I’m having fun, can someone just join my game and help me fix these problems to the best they can like i need a professional

How can I fast travel with my army? If I can’t, are there any good workarounds?

There was a new Patch for Playstation.

Cant find Patchnotes or am i blind?

Who knows what was changed or is new?

Did not play since newest Update

Any beginner game hints at how to get straps so I can research the hall? Can't craft them yet, and don't have enough to research up.

**Edit**
Thanks - looks like I need to battle more bandits.
I have found some vendors, but only 1 a day goes slow.

Hello,

I started my first Playthrough on Bellwright and i feel stucked.

I like to learn by myself, i made few mistakes but overall i am doing good.

I don't know if this is important or not, but i am playing with Highest Frequency Raid with Impossible Raid Strengh. I got few mods (Decoration, X2 Storage on Buildings, NPC speeds, Node Respawn (8 days) and i lastly added a Renown Reduction Cost for new villagers) and needs for village are at 200%. The rest is untouch.

At the beggining it was ok, few mistakes :

- (Depleted 3 Copper and Tin Veins before adding mod (Had to make new Mining Outpost) because i was crafting Bronze to resell to Villages (Didn't knew there was so low ores on those veins).

- Not using priorities properly

- Not trading properly

- Villages management (and so properity) not going well

- ect.

But i manage to figure it out and now it is ok.

I finally built a nice T2 Village/City (In Oakridge) and liberrated the 5 first villages (Haerdean, Padstow, Bradford, Farnworth and BlackridgePool). And here is the problem, i don't think i am ready to fight the reclamation party of Horndean.

For BlackridgePool there were 38 soldiers to defend the village against (Far more compared to Farnworth). The fight was not easy.
The problem is the Renown Cost to hire more Villagers. I need almost 10K for a decent/good Villager, and i don't know how to farm so much Renown.

I have cleared all bandits camps on the map (but even with a High Migration), bandits take days to rebuild their camp, and 1/2 of the time, it is a small green camp with low value bandits.

I download a mod that's reduce renown cost, it helped (a lot of renown back), but it disappeared as fast as the download of the mod).

I tried to see if the Milicia from villages could help me, but they are not well equipped yet (hopping milicia from high prosperity villages will be stronger, but would take many IG days to reach a decent prosperity amount (Villages are arround 5 to 15K).

Since i finished T2, i was looking to build a new Village/City with T3 upgrades to have better Equipment to make the difference. I found a place that i like (Near Hordean) but T3 buildings needs an insane amount of ressources and i need tons of villagers to carry all the materials for the new city. But if i block 10 villagers going back and forth (to carry planks, nails and all the material), i take the risk to lose a reclamation fight (Even if i don't need caravans to keep high prosperity, thanks to the market).

So (Yeah, sorry, the post is quite long for just a small question), do i have to manually take a lots of villagers, put Materials in their inventory, use a boat to TP to my future T3 City and come back with boat to setup safely my new Village ? It will be a little boring, but since i cleared all bandits camp, and finished all the quests (Except the one with the prison (i get rekt)) i don't see what i can do.

Or should i try to increase the prosperity of the 5 villages to 15K-30K+, make a lot's of Milicia building, setup a small military camp near the bandit's headquarters and camp with all milicia in front of the Headquarters while my own Villagers make travels to bring all the materials for the T3 City and produce goods to keep prosperity/gold stable ?

Or last idea, recrute Mid Quality villagers, train them as much as possible, and release them to earn a little of renown each time (Was so happy when i discovered this feature), combined with defense against reclamation party and clearing bandits of Crasmere/Hordean + New Camp to farm Renown.

I am quite in doubt by which idea is the less "Pain in the ***"

Edit : Thanks for reply (Forgot to put a small "Thanks in advance" in my initial post).

So I just go and clean the lord ashbourne castle to get his sword and high tier items but I was curious about the repercussions in the history mode

Hi I am trying to build the harvest hut in herndean through the investment tab and it’s stuck at 71% after going straight from 0 after buying the investment. It says they still need 1 flax 1 stone and 17 wood. How do I get those items to them for it to finish building ? Will it happen automatically because I can’t seem to find away to deliver the items as they don’t accept stone or flax through caravan or through trade in the town menu.

Low level game. I have the usual conglomeration of conscripted peasants and two of them - even with weapon skills of 2 - continue to show up for Call to Arms summons with no weapons. What gives with that? Town is Level 1 so I know I can wait until Level 2, but - sheesh!

Anyone had this happen where your farmers do all the work of planting, watering, weeding and harvesting but then they leave the grains in the soil? Like who’s supposed to grab those so it can be tilled again? Is it a delivery role that handles it, just curious if you’ve seen this before?

Hi Ppl,

Just liberated haerndean but now Im seeing negative prosperity and the pop up explained having to sell what they are producing etc etc. So basically now I have to manage this village as well as my own? Its enough work just keeping priorities and settings running in my own village lol.

So couple of questions, can I just ignore this village now ive liberated it? I only really need the apprentices to keep my own village progressing.

If Its a bad idea to just not do it,

Would anyone be kind enough to simplify the prosperity and trading system to me.

So i guess it must have happened when my friend attempted to join my game, he appeared briefly but the game crashed at his end, and same when he tried to join a few more times.

The bug is that I'm now known as 'Other Player' instead of my name, which is fine, but all of my presets for my villagers are now called 'new preset' and cannot be renamed. They haven't been deleted but are all named the same, which is a major pain. The same goes for all of my trade routes at my caravan station.

Anyone else encounter this, know how to fix.

If I increase my melee damage in settings, does that also increase enemy melee damage? I’m a casual player and I need this game easier haha
