5 Pieces of Info From an Experienced Settler

By Arjun

Hello everybody, and welcome to the hot new column “5 Pieces of Info From an Experienced Settler”! I’m your host, Arjun, and today I’ll be talking about some basic tips to help your colony thrive!

Firstly, all of your essential buildings should be in the center of your village(the doctor’s and leader’s huts, for example). You should build them in the center so that in the case of a medical emergency or a dispute that gets out of hand, you can quickly go to one of the two huts and settle the case immediately. Also, when I was in a blizzard, none of the main buildings were destroyed

Another thing you should do is spread out your crop fields. This is because in the case of a flood,(which I have encountered) not all of them will get harmed. Another reason to spread out the crop fields is that they need a lot of space.

Thirdly, you should place your livestock in a safe place in the forest so they can feed off roots, grass, shrubs along with the food provided. It is advised you do this because then the food you have to provide them is reduced dramatically so you can put more effort into finding food for yourself. My livestock were not harmed during a flood.

Penultimately, you should keep your vegetable gardens, crop fields, and houses near the water. That is because you need to supply water to them from the river if rain is scarce. It also makes water transport much easier. When I encountered a drought, none of those were harmed.

Finally, you should group your houses together so you will have the butcher, grocer, blacksmith, or other people grouped together so you can access the buildings quickly. Also, you can plan for emergencies and have plans for the whole village. My village was not harmed in a blizzard.
In conclusion, these pieces of advice could be very important to you settlers out there. You guys should take these tips and use them wisely, and if you do, you could build a very successful colony.
