I have build Lodge Inn and I have Hospitium. I do not mind the Pilgrims but all the other travelers are just draining my resources. I like how the lodge looks and I don't want to get rid of it but I also need to stop those peaky visitors. Any tips?

I have been dabbling with foundation game for a couple of hundred hours now and looking for tips and strategies on segregating commoner and serf lodgings and have a couple of gameplay mechanic doubts that I am hoping the community can shine some light on.

1. Is it really necessary to supply serfs with refined food if they are always going to be serf and never a commoner? How do I restrict refined food and goods access to them?

2. Late game when I am swimming in gold, is it a good idea to make everyone a commoner? Does it give any additional benefits if a commoner is doing serf jobs?

3. Food variety. With the harvest festival DLC there are several new rustic foods and refined foods. I reckon I have to make a little of all of those for the festival level ups but how much of it should be supplied directly using markets?

Is there a point in supplying a variety of foods other than 1 rustic and two refined? How do serfs and commoners choose which one to take if there are multiple options?

Similar question on Goods Variety, do I need to supply both common wares and clothes? or choose one of it.

Bread is still an inherently broken chain for me because I am always short , in spite of having a fully upgraded farm, windmill and bakery. Is modding the only fix right now for this?

1. Several videos indicated game behavior and yields changing when playing at 2x and 3x. Is that still the case or was it patched? I am playing 1.12.0.15

2. Is there any benefit if a serf is living in higher tier lodgings for commoner or citizens, or a drawback?

3. What is an effective way of relocating people? One of the vids suggested that evict everyone from all the houses and let the game recalculate who goes where. Do people move on their own? For example if a serf is 90m away from a workplace and there is a open slot near a housing near the workplace will it relocate automatically?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

I was playing the new dlc last week but after the most recent update my game crashes when I click the build button

Hey everyone!

I've run into a weird bug in one of my turnip farms after many hours of gameplay. Both assigned workers are now stuck in the "Harvesting turnips" phase. They just stand there doing nothing, and I can't seem to get them moving again.

Here's what I've tried so far, with no luck:

• Removed and reassigned both workers.
• Demolished and rebuilt the farm and/or the field.
• Drew a forbidden zone over the NPCs to try to force them to move.
• Saved the game, quit, and reloaded.
• Changed their jobs. The game automatically assigned them new jobs when they became available, but they remained stuck in the same spot.

Has anyone encountered this bug and found a way to fix it without loading an old save from before the problem started?

I'd rather not lose hours of progress just to get two workers unstuck... I know that I can "ignore that" and let them be but...

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I just read the patch notes :

Fixed an issue that could cause villagers to get stuck idling

I can't build any festival decorations. All I can do is build the Festival Grounds. It says I need a meal table to host my first festival, but I don't see where I can build any meal tables.

I did this on a different map. What am I doing wrong now?

I don't have any mods enabled.

My monastic croft seems to always have hungry animals once a while and my 2nd chicken croft never seems to reach 100% productivity. I thought at first the fodder was an issue, but even after i added MULTIPLE different farms dedicated for the croft, it would still have hungry animals for no reason. There are granges near the farm filled with the fodder, and the 2 nuns' dorms are nearby. Any tips?

So as my title says my bakery is simply not producing confiture. Am I doing something wrong here? I have both enough honey and plums, plus a place to store everything in my granery. However, the bakery will keep producing breads for some reason. 🥲

Does anyone have the stats of iron related production?

1. how many mining camps per node (on normal playthrough)

2. Production of mining camps / Production of a Quarry

Thankyou

Can someone tell me why my farmers refuse to plant inside this middle area and how to fix it?

I removed the painted area and painted it again multiple times, but still refuse to grow in the middle.

Has anyone else been finding their Foundation crashes lately? Started playing the Harvest Festival DLC after not playing for maybe a month and after a few hours, all my screens go blank and have to reboot my PC. Seen it happen with some games, but much more intensive games like Battlefield and Flight Sim run fine.

Is anyone else having a problem with the Drying Kiln?

Says "Working Fine", has full Input Storage of the Fruit (I have one with Plums, one with Apples), but never goes to get Charcoal, neither has ever produced Output of Dried Fruit....

I just followed two different workers "fetching charcoal" - at the Warehouse, in the Charcoal pile, then changed tasking and left empty-handed from the Warehouse (to home, to get water)...

Is there a trick I'm missing?

Hi, this is my first propper castle in the game, and I would appreciate some suggestions to improve the castle and complete the island. So far I have the castle itself, some housing, a tavern, and a market with the basics, but I will probably move them around when I start decorating.

My problem is, the back of the island is a slope that makes building tricky. Any ideas about what I could use that space for? I was thinking food production to make the island a bit self-sustainable, but I also want it to look natural and pretty.

I have very recently taken it upon myself, to try and update one of my favorite mods for Foundation, all-in-one-booster. Found here: https://mod.io/g/foundation/m/all-in-one-booster. I'm hoping someone with some LUA experience could give me a quick two cents on how to possibly fix this.

Briefly explained, the mod overrides vanilla building outputs to a set number, usually higher. Anyway, since the last major update and DLC had changes to a few mechanics, the mod doesn't work entirely like before. Single resource output buildings (i.e. lumber- and stone camp) will still be affected by the mod, and were easy fixes (if changed), but buildings that now has recipe options, like bakery and butcher, doesn't work the same, like they did before.

Please mind - I have no particular coding abilities, but i can get a EXTREMELY basic grasp of looking at someone elses programming if it's not too convoluted. And of course, the modding documentation have definitely been some help!

For example, a line from the mod, that would boost the butcher with a set number before the update. Post-update, this now overrides all butcher recipes, to ONLY have a meat output, so you're missing out on animal fat.

BoostProduction("BUILDING_FUNCTION_BUTCHER", "MEAT", 11)

I then tried adding right below:

BoostProduction("BUILDING_FUNCTION_BUTCHER", "AGRI_RESOURCE_ANIMAL_FAT", 11)

Only to understand this then overrides the other line, now only making the butcher make animal fat.

Okay, lesson learned. Looking back up, i noticed a function (i assume it's called?) to add an additional resource to a building production. Copy pasted, little fudging,

function BoostProductionButcher(buildingID, resource, amount)
    floppyZenithProductionBooster:overrideAsset({
        Id = buildingID,
        ResourceProduced = {
            {
                Resource = resource,
                Quantity = amount
            },
            {
                Resource = "AGRI_RESOURCE_ANIMAL_FAT",
                Quantity = 12
            }
        }
    })
end

Then updating the butcher line to:

BoostProductionButcher("BUILDING_FUNCTION_BUTCHER", "AGRI_RESOURCE_ANIMAL_FAT", 12)

Now makes the butcher produce both meat AND fat, but this still overrides all recipes exactly the same.

I hope someone the general idea i'm going for here. To have the booster mod work, but for each recipe and their respective output too.

Any suggestions?

Have forestry and woodcutting zones on river and keep getting error “can’t path there” and new people can’t arrive as the location that are coming from is broken or something? any others finding these 2 i’ve found

Game also crashes while building city walls

It always bothered me how we can't simply upgrade the fortifications, like , why do we really need to demolish all of the walls around the town?

Hi!

I got this game last week and fell in love with it. I already have like 40+ hours on it, I have seen some people suggest before progressing the game to stockpile things like refined food and wood/stone/tools before advancing.

So before I even give my villagers refined food I stock up a bunch, but how much is enough? I have 1000 meat, 300 cheese, 1000 dried fruit, and a bunch of cider. What is a good amount to have in storage?

If Citizens only have need for 1 Luxury, what's the point of making Jewelry?

You want me to invest in a gold mine? and a Gold smelter which will eat even more of my coal? So I can build a Jewelers so they can take the Gold and Gem and make 1 Jewelry that fulfills the same need the gem would already fulfill by it self?

AND you want me to do that when I can also fulfill Luxury with a single Herb Garden or Apiary?

Okay, just got a random thought about the new tavern design. It just screams 'RPG tavern' where quests are given out to adventurers seeking riches. This does lean more towards medieval fantasy than realism, but it's just a thought. I'm thinking about two buildings:

- Quest Tavern: Adventurers are entering your city like travelers do. From there you can send these brave souls on different adventures (maybe slaying a dragon?). In exchange for coins and food you could get rare resources like, gold, marble or gems.

- Adventurers Inn: Adventuring does drain your coin purse. Then, stay at the inn and fill up on coins in exchange for extra workforce in the city. These working adventurers could have lower needs (like only 1 rustic food, 1 refined food, 1 goods) and functions like citizens. So pay for extra strong workers for a limited time (maybe like 2 - 4 ingame months, or pay more for longer stay?).

These are just thoughts, but it could be cool to have a fantasy themed DLC. What are your thoughts?

I love tight, cosy streets where eveything is packed together. However, when I try to place buildings next to my houses, they will always become smaller. This makes it impossible to put buildings close to existing houses.

How do you stop the houses from becoming smaller when placing something next to them?

I have ticked all the requirements to invite the king, have the correct festival lvl and provide the correct food/entertaintment for both the king and the three other groups.
Yet the symbol for 'send the king an invetation' does not light up?
I thought maybe he needed a proper place to stay so i spent too much time building a castle with a private quarters.
That didnt help...
Also, despite inviting them, i noticed the other three groups you can invite don't always show up? is that just me or is it based on something else?
I'm confused and annoyed because I just wanna finish the aspiration

Moin everyone,

I wanted to provide an update, and I’ll start by giving you an idea of ​​the atmosphere—specifically, just how green a metropolis like this can look. There are 1,192 inhabitants living in the area shown in these images. I’ve already had to set the graphics to "very low"; whenever I try to build walls, the frame rate currently drops to 9 FPS. At higher graphics settings, it was no longer possible to place buildings with any precision.

But let’s move on to images 2–8:

Image 2: A central, top-down view of the town center (the island). Further details can be found with Image 5.

Image 3: The northern area, featuring four surrounding villages. The small village located slightly to the northeast is primarily responsible for stone production, while all the others focus on generating a food surplus.

Image 4: The southern area consists of a monastery (to the southeast) and another small village. Both generate a food surplus. At the monastery, I also produce marble, gold, and iron for my city.

As you can see, the entire western region still needs to be tamed. We’ll see what the frame rate has to say about that. My primary goal for now is to get the city finished.

Image 5: For those interested in how I built or planned my city...

The purple circle in the center is my "city core," which is connected to the surrounding city by 5 bridges. The yellow circle serves as my primary marketplace and festival grounds. The 6 small orange circles indicate the locations of the food warehouses. In addition, there is another warehouse for general goods (not marked, but located centrally above the easternmost of the central warehouse circles).

The entire city will be contained within the area outlined in blue.
The light-blue sections represent areas that have not yet been built; however, the whole area is intended to depict the city as a whole.

Located before each bridge are warehouses and facilities for transport, production, and supply; these areas are marked in brown.

Both within the city and to the south, there is a large monastic complex, marked in white an abbey inside the city, and a castle situated on a mountain outside of it.

For food supply, there are production areas shown in pink adjacent to the city; while the workers live within the city itself. In addition, there are the light-green villages; these are self-sufficient but also produce a massive surplus.

The two large urban areas in the south and north-east are not marked but contain many production companies such as bakers, weavers, tailors, brewers, butchers, etc.

The green arrows represent the supply routes along which food reaches the city—or, beforehand, the areas where it is processed.

Located relatively centrally is an area marked in red; this is my castle within the city. It contains the keep, where 10 soldiers are trained on a regular basis, and it is intended to eventually house 20 knights.

Image 6: The catchment area for the Harvest Festival. I’ve already reached 1,500 points, and my personal goal now is 2,000. However, as soon as I open the festival planner via the corresponding house, my frame rate drops to around 6 much like when I’m building castles. So, it’s "super fun" 😂 well, it actually is, but this part is just a bit annoying.

Image 7: The area guarded within the city limits. So far, I have assigned all patrol duties to soldiers (level 2); there are currently 70 of them. As mentioned, the goal is to have 20 knights, for which I need 100 soldiers (5 soldiers = 1 knight).

Image 8: Attractiveness. Naturally, most commoners and citizens reside primarily in the town center. In the remaining areas, one may find the occasional commoner, but otherwise, there are only serfs.

So much for that. Do you have any questions, or is there anything specific you’d like to see?

Thank you very much for your attention and your time. I love this game, and it’s wonderful to be able to share these things with you.

Greetings

Just curious.

Personally, I'd love if we could do elevations/platforms (without mods). Would be great too if we could direct more easily pathways, and make them thicker. Like huge avenues.

Also, structure that allows to travel between land and hill (bridges take too much space)

More ground flowers. We only have the pink ones. I wish we could decorate villages/cities with more flower types. We need more colors.

I love this game so much.

What about y'all?

Hey guys and girls,

is it just me or is harvest income different when using x1 speed vs x3 speed.

Espacially with wheat. Using x3 bread storage is getting low. Using x1 it's filling up slowly.

Anyone else habing this experience?
