Just started playing again, love the game and love the challenge level of it. Looking at mods and a lot of them seem designed to make the game easier, like harvest more stone per node and stuff. Not looking for that kind of thing but for mods that add structures and content or add/ change aesthetics 😁

Also anyone else like to play without using quarries or mines? I like the extra challenge and not having the ugly structures ruin my municipal paradises!

I just started a new game and the citizens rufuse to collect any food. I've got one hunting cabin, one gatherers hut and one fishing dock with maximum people working (3+4+4) but the stored food is at 0? Had the same problem in another game that I started and they all starved to death. Everyone has a home, happiness is at 5 and health is at 4. What am I doing wrong?? Please help!

I know some of these houses don't have log but how do I make sure they have logs?

I started growing some flax, but I’m having a big issue with it. My farmers refuse to harvest it. It doesn’t matter if it’s a regular field or a plantation, or how much I increase my food or textiles limits. They just won’t harvest it. I can only collect it by deleting the field and then using the collect resources tool.

Is there another limit affecting its harvest?

So I've been playing with a series of mods by DiscrepancyOk on Steam. I was quite happy with everything added by them, but I noticed when I ran the game with these mods, any time I tried to quit or exit the game, I'd get a big error popup that would crash Banished. And when I reopened it, all my mod settings and their order (I used the one listen by the creator) was reset and scrambled. Does anyone else have this? Is it something I did wrong, or are these mods just busted?

For now, until I can work that out, I'm enjoying myself with CC

Episode 4 of our Banished survival city builder series just dropped! A massive tornado tore through our settlement, destroying half the town and forcing us to rebuild from scratch. From new homes and orchards to expanding across the river, this episode is all about survival and rebuilding.

Thanks to all of you who have been joining me during my Banished Let's Play series on YouTube!

Just a bit ago we got our 100th subscriber to The Channel. I'm honestly blown away at how quickly we have reached that first milestone! It's all thanks to everyone in this community!

Another thank you to all of you for providing feedback, criticism, and generating ideas for me to implement in future episodes and videos!

That being said, I think I have narrowed down my upload schedule to Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday.

Additionally I plan on making videos on other city-builder/survival simulation games as well. I want to focus more on the not so popular indie games similar to Banished I'll structure these videos as sort of a review/opinions/Ep. 1 and depending on how well (or how terrible) it is received, continuing or abandoning that series.

Let me know if you guys would be interested in those videos or not.

Reminder, on Episode 3 linked here : Episode 3 I am giving away a free Steam Code for Banished, all you have to do is like and comment on episode 3, and be subscribed to the channel! If you like and comment on episode 1 and 2 your entry will be weighted heavier!

Thanks again for the 100 Subscribers

I only notice it early game with Adam & Eve start as it slows down my early build order, but this likely happens all through the game.

Citizens have items already in their inventory that prevents them hauling efficiently.

What makes it especially annoying is when the items blocking their inventory is the same item they are hauling.

For example today, my two citizens had 8 wood and 6 wood in their inventory. They then began building a storage barn by hauling wood to the construction site. They go to the stock pile, pick up 2 wood and 4 wood so each had 10 wood in inventory, walk to the construction site and drop 2 and 4 wood and walk back to the stockpile still carrying 8 and 6 wood. pick up another load and repeat.

Once completed hauling wood then they haul stone to the construction site still with their inventory clogged with 8 and 6 wood.

👉 But Banished doesn’t let you relax for long. Out of nowhere, disaster struck—a sickness spread through the village, hunger came back with a vengeance, and survival once again hung by a thread. Watching our people fight through it was intense, and honestly one of my favorite episodes so far.

*I'm reposting due to an editing failure on my part and having to reupload to YouTube, original post has been deleted

I'm playing with CC. How do I get marble? I don't see a marble mine or quarry. Is it only through trade?

Okay so there’s a mod that allows you to build smaller versions of the town buildings… they work the same as the regular ones, they just have a much smaller footprint. Does anyone know the name of this mod?

Hey everyone, to those who have started to follow my Banished let’s play series, and to those who have no idea what I’m talking about… I will not be posting episode 3 tonight!

TLDR: I’m changing my posting schedule

Previously I have been playing Banished and recording at night around 2230-0000 (PST)

Editing from 0000-0100/0200 and posting before I go to bed myself

Reason why is, I’m currently active duty in the U.S. Military and have a wife and two children and keeping that schedule is just not possible with all of the other more important commitments I have! So now I have recorded tonight and will edit during the day when I have time and don’t have to sacrifice my sleep lol!

Thank you all for the support and if you want to follow along but aren’t already I will have a link to my channel attached!

Hello my fellow exiled citizens, I was absolutely blown away by the support I was shown for making this let’s play series by all of you and it really motivated me to continue!

Please if you are tuning in give me feedback on how to make my videos better. You can be harsh with it, I’m focused on making better content so if I’m doing something terribly wrong please let me know!!

Thank you all!

P.S.

u/starshipfocus mentioned mods in my last post and I will be doing a modded Let’s Play series after this vanilla one so if you have any mod recommendation please drop them in a comment on the videos or on one of my community posts!

Thanks again everyone!!

Hey everyone, I’m starting a let’s play series on YouTube for Banished! I’d love for yall to hop in from time to time if willing, and give me any tips or just hangout along my journey. Thanks in advance!

the problem is rather simple but i cannot figure out why it's happening. i've tried googling but i haven't found anyone mentioning this. I have my tailor set to craft survival coats (6 reeds + 3 feather), but what ends up happening is that the tailor brings the reeds, then takes them back to the storage, brings the reeds then back to the storage again, this is happening in an endless cycle so nothing is being made

I redownloaded banished after 6 years, i installed the CC mod from steam workshop since it looks soooo much more fun than tje regular game. But alot of bugs are happening. Basically all buildnings thats not from the regular game does not work, the building does get built but workers wont do their job. I also tried to clear some space to builda mine (from the regular game) but the laborers wont remove iron ore for some reason. Thats just the bugs i found from the first 20 min of gameplay, so i guess there is more. Is this a known bug? Is it easy to fix?

I was playing in colonial charters and having a lot of fun with it, but I just CANNOT get decent food production. Either that or my villagers are just eating so much more than they usually would.

I barely even had a large population. A few hunters, gatherers, and fishing docks all full with workers (plus the intensive fishing dock mod). I also had 4 farmland patches and a couple small orchards. Normally this is MORE than enough, but with any tiny amount of births my food production instantly drops like 1-2k under the used food.

Am I stupid? Does the mod alter food production or food use? I’m not even bad at the game, despite what my post may suggest.

This also applies to any other tree forester like the apple forester or pine forester etc... Is it purely aesthetic?

I am new to this mod and I thought I could get maple sap from maple trees in the forest but I learned it only comes from orchards. Do I have to buy maple seeds from a trader?

Hey guys, a question. What is the best production site for food? Whether mod or not.

Thank you :D

Got into the habit of building too many new homes and my group became rabbits. Worried about the population dropping if I don’t keep building new homes but just not as many. Thoughts?

Has anyone else experienced this? I could have an area where I had a full crop field built or a market, huge areas surrounded by roads, and, after removing them, there are parts of that land that are no longer able to be built on, like when you try to build on a hill. I've also experienced one block areas that suddenly become usable if I build a road beside them.
