    Perfect seed for all achievement in one map (Small + Moutains + Hard) ?

    Are there perfect seed for all acheievement in one map?

    Of course it is for Small + Moutains + Harsh + On + Hard

    And it must able to build 50 length bridge

    but most seeds at 2020 Updated Seed-List 1.0.7 are for not moutains not hard not small

    onlys few seed are good for Hard Small Moutains and I feel it is not good enough.

    such 601902282 in my view is good enough.

    For more detail, we need running without tools due to long play without iron. (so, i don't feel 170943658 is good)

    and i try incremental start from 0, that found 16 is maybe works seed, keep trying incremental.

    Newcomer to Banished and return to old times

    Ahoi mates, I finally got the chance to buy Banished. I haven't played a proper city builder in over 15 years, but I wanted to return to something more relaxed as PvP games start to make me exhausted. :)

    Do you have any advice for a beginner to this game?

    How far to vendor travel to collect resources for the market?

    I’ve built a village around a market place but I want to expand more eastward toward some mountains to build quarries and whatnot. I think I’ll need to build a second market but if I do, how far will the vendors travel to collect resources? In the top right of the screen you can see where I intend to build the mine.

    Water transportation and fishign boats

    Im looking if a mod exists that allow the creation of boats or small ships to transport civilians/workers across large water bodies to fish the large lake itself or establish a new village on other portions of the lake. Unlike a trading dock like the vanilla dock, these village specific boats focus on transporting villagers, fishing, and moving resources/goods/farm animals across large water bodies.

    This is to make use of water dominant maps to make use of resources inaccessable on other shorelines.

    Testing Crops growth speed. Best Crops.

    So as i already wasted my time stalking my citizens to see when they eat and what clothing does.

    I decided to waste more of my lifetime and check out if the numbers in this thread by MortalSmurph (he has great YT videos) were true. He seems to have data-mined them.

    So i made two rows of 4x4 mini test fields and watched them for four years. See screenshots.

    Results:

    • The numbers from MortalSmurph are true.
    • Best veggie is Beans.
    • Squash started really early. It is tough, it started growing in colder weather than the rest. And finished with the rest. It is good on harsh weather maps, early cold snaps wont kill off the planted crops. I had 70-80% of bean and wheat fields both destroyed by a few cold snaps.
    • Best grain is Wheat. Corn is evil and it will destroy your teeth.
    • Taters suck hard! (They should not. Potatoes should be hardier. Potatoes were farmed in east Europe a lot

    Villager/Citizen food consumption interval. Clothing effects.

    I was wondering about the eating intervals of the villagers and if the Warm Coats were worth it and started stalking my citizens.

    • Citizens eat cca every two months, it works out for hunters.
    • Ragged people (No Coat) go warm up once each cold month.
    • Fair (Hide/Wool Coat) clothed not much change they still go warm up, maybe less . Did not see much of a change in frequency.
    • Excellent (Warm Coat) clothed people don't go to warm up separately. They warm up when they eat.

    Excellent clothing still need to warm up. I tested it by denying firewood. People started freezing. Was not nice.

    IT IS WORTH IT to tailor Warm Coats. Citizens don't waste time on separate trips to warm up.

    Edit: Tested clothes effect on happiness and health. NO effect.

    Edit 2: Clothes last exactly 4 in game years. Both types. From 0 to 20 years old in the same coat, that is... ugh.
