DinoActualI’ve been trying to play with these two, but every time I do, they always lose so much health. What can I do? Usually I have them grow the turnips, forage for all the wild food, herbs, venison and fish, and started smoking them in a bid to create more variety. But nothing has worked. I get their house done first, and reindeer parkas, but they just keep getting worse and worse. Help!
Tom SawyerHi and welcome!
You are right, to keep the couple healthy can be tricky. With turnips from the field, berries from the woods and venison or fish you have at least 3 of 4 food types. With wild honey you can cover the grain category but only professional gatherers (assigned to the gatherer shelter) can do bee hunting. Herbs are only useful if you build a herbalist’s cabin where one has to work as a herbalist to heal the other. To build a small trading dock as soon as possible would be also a good strategy to get all food types and barley or rye seeds for grain cultivation. Smoking meat and fish does not improve health, it only increases the available amount of the same food type by preserving it.
But getting the right foodstuff is not the only thing. They also have to have the types together in their cabin, which is later ensured by markets and vendors but hard in very early game. If they have a shed full of berries, another full of venison and so on, they will carry only the food item from the nearest location and still suffer from an unbalanced diet. So, a bigger storehouse where everything is stored is better than many locations. This is a part I want to improve in this mod, adding more useful storage buildings and a small food market.
DinoActualThank you for getting back to me! I didn’t know about the wild honey and the gatherers shelter. I’m not new to the game, but I’m new to this mod so thank you! Though, my only issue is that I did have all the other food, berries, meat, vegetables, etc. in one shed, but they would still only take a little bit. I’d have salmon and trout, chicken, venison, turnips and the various wild foods in the shed, and a good amount of each, but I’d look at their house inventory and they’d only have some turnips and venison. What can I do about that?
Tom SawyerYou cannot do more than providing a good food variety in the nearest storage location. If they pick up food from a barn or shed, they take something of everything. At least it works so normally. Hard to say what went wrong with your people. Maybe they pick up from another place?
If you want to try a small and well matching market, I recommend the DS Wagon Vendor. Download on WorldofBanished or in Steam workshop.
