Tips for absolut beginners!

Basic tips for absolut beginners. Edit: typos&fixes

Managing your soup is important:

The soup is needed, because all other jobs spend need it to function. Your villagers keep eating it regurlarly. Good rule of thumb is one pumpking patch villager per two working villagers.

Keep your kitchen full of berries and mushrooms, you can use them to instantly create soup in the when you click the kitchen building. Eggs are also good after getting the chicken coop.

When online I always first gather berries and mushrooms to max capasity manually, you can use the speed the make it quicker. Berries and mushrooms respawn when afk, so make sure to gather them.

I primary use eggs for soup because they respawn with no effort.

Don't worry about spending any of these to make soup, they all replenish. Keep getting that soup in!

Upgrade your wood and clay storages:

Prioritize researching and upgrading your storages. You need more resources in later builds, and more room to fill longer  when going afk.

When you get 2nd storages you can move them next to constructing buildings, which shortens the builders walk distance to them and shortens the buildtime.

Going AFK:

All storages and jobs end quick in the beginning so maximising this is important.

Easiest thing is to put villagers to valleys sheep pasture and wheat field, they take take a long time so are ideal for overnight jobs. Avoid these if your online managing your villagers.

Start with empty kitchen and storage, and place one in all production buildings, and choose communal projects which need a lots of clay and wood. When coming online you have something to spend your resources immediatly. 

The valley:

You research this early and you are added to random valley. You can search and find a better one if there isn't many active players and/or no communal buildings compleated. 

Be sure to contribute to building projects and make shipments to increase research. This is the main core of the game, so don't hoard resources. You need tickets that regenerate over time, so spend them often.

Good tip is to make 2 easy shipments/builds quick (gold or resource you have plenty) and then take one that takes longer as you wait your new shipping /building tokens.

If you like to be leader, best way is to turn a inactive valley to active. You may only need a one other vote to get leader status. You can kick "dead" players after that. 

Remeber that people in other timezones may be sleeping so don't expect people to be online when you do. Leave messages in chat if you need to check if people are still playing.

Don't spam the vote for leader if not campaigning to be one, thats dumb.

When leader you can change the description and make the village invite only if you prefer.

Thats all! Happy playing, comment below if I missed something.

Thanks man, I got scared that it won't grow back. BTW can you create your own valley? because if I can I want my friends to join it so that we can play together

2
Independent_Key_2137•

unfortunately you cant create your own valley as of now, but you can ask your current valley leader to kick you so the game is forced to put you into another valley. if ur lucky, you'll get an empty valley/valley with leader! you may then set the valley spots to invite only, then invite ur friends

Does the trees/clays/stone outside the groves regrow too?

stones and clay very slowly respawn also. Trees respawn quickly

Cookbook_OP•

I don't think so, you should research and build the infinite mines for all in the map so no need to get eid of them all if you don't want to

Trees do respawn.

What happens to my village if I leave my Valley? And are all my contributions wasted?

1
Cookbook_OP•

to that valley, yes. Thats way its good to find a good valley with no arbitary kicking of members.

Uptopdownlowguy•

Would I lose the hearts, too? I'm actually satisfied with my Valley, but I'd prefer to be in the same one as my cousin

1
KangarooChief•

You don't lose the hearts afaik

2
Uptopdownlowguy•

Can confirm :)

mathbanditModerator :BronzeLock:•

You don't lose the hearts - I just swapped valleys and kept my hearts.

Don't make the mistake I did though - I had two items in bakery queue and two tasks (building/shipping) almost done and wasn't thinking - when I switched valleys all of them disappeared.

Is it possible to place village kitchen somewhere else? I keep pressing it but nothing happens.

1
Cookbook_OP•

I don't think so, it's the village center. you can position buildings and pumpking patches around it to make it efficient. Villagers can walk past them

So you are saying upgrading ur kitchen capacity is above all?

Edit:spelling

1
BigWithABrick•

It isn't necessarily the most important thing. It's always useful to upgrade storages, especially essential ones like the kitchen capacity, because then you can get more value during long breaks (i.e. overnight) but you don't need to prioritise the kitchen, other storages (wood/clay) are just as useful.

chard97•

I see your point. Thanks👍

2
Cookbook_OP•

watching and adjusting soup intake is important. I would first develop storages too.

You can work with food deficit (only one pumpking villager for 2-3 others) for night or afk time and still get full storages, it just takes longer while workers wait for soup to be harvested. I think best afk workplaces still are the valley jobs, they take no soup and last the longest. Either really long research

1
BigWithABrick•

The problem is that with 4 villagers (what you have when the kitchen upgrade becomes available) you can't have them all work at once or you'll run out of soup in ~20min. If you want to be as efficient as possible while going on a long break (sleep, work, etc) you should put one villager on soup, one in the valley farming wheat/wool/etc (so they don't consume food), and the other two working in your village.

All that a greater storage capacity for soup and food does is allow you to get a little bit more value when you log back on, by allowing you to put the villager previously doing soup to work on something else for a little while (until your soup reserves run out). It's useful, but I prefer material storage upgrades.
