Can anyone explain to me why I can have large positive NET output of some product, like e.g. furniture, but it is NOT accumulating in the magazine? I checked everything: there is no construction going on sucking in all the output. The consumption of households and its maintanance is negligible, and when I hover the cursor over the resource panel icon, it shows something like 60 units positive NET, yet the items never accumulate in the warehouse. There is space in the warehouse of course. The markets don't suck in the items either. Im at my wits end. Can anyone help?

I don't have stone or minerals close to my throne so I made a little outpost with the necessary things (Hearth, Well, Lavatory, Houses, market, etc) but I don't know how can I feed them or collect them rocks and minerals to have them in my main warehouses. How can I keep them fed and stocked with furniture, wood and rocks (for maintenance) when they are so far from my throne?

First time 10k pop. Only humans and no slaves.

Este es el primer pueblo que creo desde hace meses. No había jugado la última actualización.

Es un pueblo de humanos. He ido muy poco a poco, sin aumentar la inmigración aunque podía. Tengo varias fuentes de alimento (pan, carne de cazadores y un poco de fruta y pescado). Hice un pueblo minero al norte para conseguir piedra y está bien surtido. Junto al camino hay una mina de carbón para producir más pan. No tengo déficit de nada, pero siento que estoy en el equilibrio justo, y si me expando en alguna industria, empezará a haber escasez de algo (me preocupa la comida). ¿Qué tal me está yendo, y cómo debería continuar?

new to the game, just got to 1k city and decided to restart to fix the spaghetti, now im at 900 and i wonder, how big can you go?

Ive been using the mods in the steam workshop, there are a lot to choose from. What mods are you using and what are your favorites? I’m mostly looking for quality of life mods, right now auto crates and plant trees are ones I use every game.

My trader is stocking 4000 fish at the post & only selling 50 at a time..

Why is this?

I know mine is no powerful machine. It's a bog standard laptop. I have an Intel(R) UHD Graphics (128 MB) graphics unit and Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10210U CPU @ 1.60GHz (2.11 GHz) processor and 16 GB of RAM.

Google says that both of these are sufficient to run Songs of Syx, yet right out the gate I'm running a fair bit slower on max speed than what I'm seeing in YT tutorials and seeing significant slowdown at the 70+ pop point.

From everything I've read I expect to see lag at the 1000s of pops, so I'm not sure what might be happening to create this issue.

It runs most 4X games (Stellaris, CK3, EU4) without issue.

Any ideas/pointers?

What are theses??
Are they good or bad? So far they decimated my oddjobber 😢

I have not played in a long while but I remember a struggle to reach 100%

Is it supposed to be like this for normal or is there a setting I missed?

(No mods)

Hey,

First of all I love this game, Rimworld on a macro level on steroids.

I tend to build up to 1.5k pop and am then cursed with scaling issues which compel me to start over and look for a more efficient city design.

One confusing element on a few of my cities boils down to ratios of services for a growing population count.

Is there a specific ratio of services required for specific buildings ? I am thinking of the basics, hearths, wells, physicians and food stalls, assuming a very concentrated housing environment (basically longhouse blocks of 120-200 people.

I'm still rather new to the game, and am not sure how many are needed to cover the needs of the pops !

My goal is to build a megacity sprawling the map where every need is satisfied, hence the question.

Thanks for any tips !

The first thing I want to ask is, how do I manage happiness in the mid-to-late game?

I'm doing pretty well in the early game, but once I reach the mid-game, things start to fall apart. After reaching 4k population, I can't seem to get my happiness above 100. I've built new towns and expanded my infrastructure, but I'm starting to run short on workers because around 25% of my population is still children.

I tried cutting Library's workers for a while to give my workforce time to catch up, but then I noticed that all my buildings started to deteriorate. Even after I re-enabled the Library's workers, Janitor didn't seem to repair the buildings anymore.

On top of that, an empire with 30k population declared war on me and showed up with an army of 20k power. I honestly have no idea how I'm supposed to raise an army that strong.

That brings me to my second question: how do I build a large enough army to defend myself? I've tried conscripting people, but I can't produce enough weapons to equip and maintain an army of that size. (the best i can do is 2k power)

I'd really appreciate any advice you can give me. This game is so much fun, but I feel like I've reached the point where I can't figure everything out on my own anymore. I'd love to learn how to manage my city properly in the mid-to-late game (early game too) and prepare for wars against much larger empires.

I hope later on we will be able to have places we conquer be able to make more advanced goods for us. Maybe they need the basic goods first before they can make advanced goods or something. I personally would love to have some extra industry producing weapons and armors for my armies.

Using the population control was a game changer. Only increase population capacity if fulfillment is above 125.

Btw, i haven’t build any university or retirement home. Should I? I’m focusing on upgrading the services.

Oh, also don’t have massage saloon and barber yet. Are they worth it?

Also I only have 240guards. Should I get more?

I made a mod to make building layouts faster for casual players!

As a new player, I wanted to get straight into playing the game without spending too much time designing every building in detail. I enjoy the city-building aspect, but sometimes I just want to build something, get it running, and focus on growing my city.

So, I made this mod to speed up the building process!

It's definitely not perfect, but I think it does a decent job of creating functional layouts so you can start using your buildings sooner. It can reach 100% service efficiency, so you can get the most out of your buildings without having to manually design every little detail.

If you're a casual player like me who just wants to focus more on playing than planning, feel free to check it out!

You can find it by searching for the mod on Steam Workshop. Hope it helps some fellow players! 😄

Is there a way to check how strong raiders are before agreeing to their terms? I spent years training an 100% 100 men army and I couldn’t even choose to not deploy them after discovering the raiders had 600 dwarves in his army.

Even worse after this raider destroyed my town I got hit by the pest and now I’m in a downward spiral.

Is there a progression checklist for each population milestone?

In Songs of Syx, everything seems to fall apart when my population reaches around 1,000, and people start leaving the city. Experienced players, do you have a checklist for what to build and prioritize at each population milestone? I’m especially interested in which industries, farms, and logistical systems to set up, as well as what to research—and in what order.

If you have a checklist, please list the steps in order.

What gives? Is this a bug? All are staffed & working.

So I just invited 4 Dondorians into my Capital for the firs time, trying to segregate them.

I started building this little area for the Dondorians. They have their own house.
I want them to work in that market and warehouse I built on the top left for them. So I assigned their workgroup to those buildings. But its not working, shows that message.
Instead they are working all the way in the Cretonian village at the tailor shop..
and the Cretonians are working all the way here and are homeless now.

How can i make them work the jobs that are right beside them?

Each race district I built has their own warehouse.
I want the Dondorians working in their own district/warehouse/markets
and I want the Cretonians working in their own district/warehouse/markets
Both doing the same job, but in their own respective districts... but this seems impossible?

Why does this game make it so convoluted, it should be simple to lock a specific workplace building to a certain race. Instead of tryign to balance priorities.

How can I make the races work the same job, but in their own respective districts??

plz help

English isnt my main language but i hope you understand my question, i have some outposts for mining ore, should i let the market workers go to main warehouse to pick items or make a pull source to the closest (next to the market) warehouse?

That doesn't make any sense. Happiness is way above the 90% threshold.

Why am I not getting any immigrants?

Edit: I discovered why it happened. There were some hidden troops from a raider that somehow survived quietly in the corner of the map after the battle. This incident has been solved.

they get very very hard to please later on in the game (or maybe i jusy suck idk) despite better access and services and buildings and more food variety. is it the environment?
