Hello Everyone,
I want some tips on how to run and expand my settlement more effectively. I recently established a business with several friends, and although we're making good strides, I believe we could do a better job of managing our resources. Right now, we're situated close to a lake and a small forest, and our primary priorities have been farming, erecting the first defences, and developing basic infrastructure.
In particular, I would value advice on:
Resource Allocation and Gathering: We are having trouble juggling the time commitments of mining, wood harvesting, and food supply maintenance. In order to prevent burnout, are there any best methods for allocating these responsibilities among settlement members?
Effective Land Expansion: As our community grows, we wish to add more land without becoming overburdened with upkeep. What are some pointers for expansion pacing? As communities expand, is there a certain layout that works best?
Long-Term Skill Development: We all have varied interests in skills, but we're not sure if diversification or specialisation is preferable. Which abilities will be most beneficial to the colony if we prioritise them early on?
Community Trade: Although we haven't thoroughly investigated how to accomplish this successfully, we are thinking about trading with neighbouring communities. Do you have any advice on how to begin bartering or trading, and are there any resources that are more in demand than others?
We would be very grateful for any information or resources (such as helpful mods or instructions). As we get to know the area, we want to establish a flourishing colony and give back to the community.
Thank you in advance for your help and support.
Regards
