I do wish titles were a little looser in their requirements.

Hmm... so I built a road extension through one tile called 'chalky soil' and all it required was the digging skill. The next tile, also called chalky soil, wouldn't let me build a road extension. I was using the same settler that built the last one, but this time it also required surveying. Why?

Is the settler tired by any chance? Their skills will degrade if they are not at top form.

[Mini]

It's possible that the quality changed between the two tiles as well, higher quality chalky soil will have lower penalties.

[forsaken1111]

Aha, that may be it. Didn't realize their skills degraded. Perhaps both tiles required surveying but by the second tile of road he was too tired to perform (giggity)

[Shooer]

Or your guy is tired.  Lower stam means reduced skills which mean lower qual and longer work time.

[Crowe~]

Yea, the average pleb will only have something like, -17 to -20 surveying from what Ive seen so it will easily go under -25 once they are tired.

I am wondering what actually determines the base quality for meat/hide when hunting - is it Meadow(ground) quality?

In the main action window, you should see a Question Mark between 'X Meat' and 'Hunting'. Clicking that question mark will take you to the help page for that meat type, which tells you the skills needed to produce it. In this case the only skill needed is Hunting. If you then click the word 'Hunting', that will take you to the help page for the Hunting skill, which lists all of the terrain types, building types, unit types, attribute types, and equipment types which can affect the Hunting skill, and also tells you how much each will affect the Hunting skill at 50% quality. The exact formula for final quality varies between products, but generally you just want to get the biggest numbers you can for the best quality you can manage.

The same method can be used to find the best ways to produce most any product, as well as build high quality buildings.

Finally figured out why my toolmaker was wandering over to the nailmaker's forge... I think. He had Chisel auto-production activated(even though I have it deactivated globally), and the nail factory has a higher quality than the toolsmith's. Indeed, the toolmaker can make nails better than the nailmaker can, though the toolmaker cannot auto-produce them.



...I still haven't replied to Greensili about his alliance offer. I don't want an unnecessary alliance, though a NAP will suffice. Still a bit worried about his request to personally come to his castle. Call me paranoid... but I still haven't found the button to create an heir .


EDIT: Found it! My heir is actually kinda hot...

[Urist McScoopbeard]

I think if the building quality of the nail factory is higher than the tool factory he'll wander over to make chisels?

[AlStar]

Apparently I managed to piss off the neighbors. A strike force came over and killed a bunch of my workers, although my lord was sitting safe in his castle. I struck back and killed some military units, but I probably should've waited for closer force parity - I didn't realize it's pretty much impossible to flee combat once the fighting starts - so ended up losing some units.

If anyone's interested in joining in the fun, the enemy lord is Blanche Delasagne, and her wooden castle is still 7 hours from completion....

That's what I was thinking, too. Except that I have auto-production of chisels turned off from the global resources page(and just shut it off on his actions screen), so he should not be trying to make chisels at all. Might switch the two specializations around, if the nail factory is better. I've got a pretty good stockpile of nails already, so I might even switch out the nails for an armory. I could use me some swords and pikes.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Ya idk--it happened to me once too, but hasn't since happened since upgrading my tool factory.

Ya armory is beast, some stuff goes for quite a bit--I make a tidy penny off of shields.

[WealthyRadish]

If it's enabled in the unit actions page, they'll automatically move to the location to do it, but won't actually produce the item unless the order is enabled for both the resource and the unit. The individual autoproduction order for the unit is turned on again every time that unit is manually told to do that task, but the domain-wide resource order should stay off unless you enable it again.

[forsaken1111]

Welp, I need shovels. I guess I'll sell wood and stone until I have enough money to buy some. Trying to train a quarry unit so I have some automated stone income.
