PIGEON MILK
I've never survived more than 3 days.
God damn I love Banished.
Im making a huge town that crosses a river. There is a church right next to the river, so when the merchants come rowing into town, they see this towering church.

>There is a church right next to the river, so when the merchants come rowing into town, they see this towering church
I wanted to make a witty comment on how this was childish and stupid but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm happy that makes you happy anon. Thanks for reminding me
>>339720321
>I made a religious town that's proud of its culture
>lol fuk off child
I don't understand how that guy having fun playing his game is in any way childish.
Please explain your euphoria to me.
>>339718189
You suck friend.
>>339720321
Uh, what?
Is Banished actually good? I was under the impression it was a weak dwarf fort knock off for plebs like the other similar games.
>>339716518
Came to post this.
>you will never beg Karen to stop drinking
>you will never cheat on Karen with Popori
>you will never live on a farm near a town with numerous bachelorettes and little elves living there
>>339720679
It's a very basic city builder. It's a good entry to the genre.
>>339718189
... how?
Literally my mother survived for 11, when she asked what is this game about. While not knowing English.
>>339720508
It was just hateful stupidity, there's nothing transcendental
>>339720664
Remember to have fun anon. And the fun is into the little things.
Now you'll excuse me I have to get my shit together
>>339716202
I thought this game was very stressful. Your entire town dies for bullshit reasons
>not building up your own rape empirehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAjPuq8kpzQ&index=2&list=PL100ECA776B3B5E31
>>339721421
Only in the early game and they are not exactly bullshit. Survive first winter and you are set. For which all you need is some foraging operation and everyone is fine
>>339716202
Banished is chill? I'm not chill when that stupid kid wanders to one end of the map and dies right before going back home.
>>339721541
ok im dl this game
i need to take a break from dark souls anyway
>>339721443
I fucking love music from comfy city builders and alike. It alone sets the tone and is perfectly servicable outside the context of the game.

>Survive first winter and you are set.
nah man, i've had extinction-level events because i underestimated my food production and couldn't feed my 200+ pop town.
if you're not careful, or if you're unlucky with trading for food from the river jew, shit hapens
>>339721670
Decrease difficulty, learn the ropes, enjoy.
I don't get this whole memery of "I set the game on highest difficulty and then get hard on, because I've beat it". It's a chill game, no point starting it with crippling yourself so you need to struggle for first 2-3 years and then just have chill as usual
>>339721670
is it really that bad? I want to play a comfy game
what's a good replayable game to play in short bursts that isn't a roguelite/like?
getting bored of tetris, hearthstone, isaac, FTL, and enter the gungeon
>>339716202
All I want is a game with this theme but plays like Cities:Skylines
>>339721874
It's only like that if you start right off the bat with hardest difficulty.
And not knowing how to set up initial food production (cue: foraging and fishing can carry you forever)
>>339721874
I played only the unpatched cracked version and holy cow it felt more like Auschwitz simulator than anything else.
>mfw all the babies start dying because there's no food left and winter arrives
>>339720321
>>339720508
I kinda rushed the comment because the thread was far down the catalog, but what I meant to say was that Banished is one of those games that can tell stories with the games mechanics and the players imagination instead of heavy exposition cutscenes like MGS or every single of todays AAA titles.
A better example of this kind of storytelling is found in grand strategy games where you take over the world through politics and war in a fairly dynamic environment where random shit happens.
Banished kinda has this, but it relies more on the players imagination.
I believe this to be the unique kind of storytelling that games have over other entertainment mediums.
>>339721921
Brigador and Creeper World are two I've been playing in Bursts a lot lately. And Tekken I guess.
None of these are chill though.

I mean from the start you know you are not going to make it pass the 4th expedition, so it's not like you are under pressure, and yet can have a lot of fun exploring all that stuff
>>339721874
it's a really comfy game anon, when i came out, i would play it every night

>>339722123
>>339721998
I downloaded the latest version and am going to go through all of the tutorials, this should be fun
>>339722723
Try Cities: Skyline. The game has curious design. If you try to make things space-efficient, you will quickly realise that not the best design to handle things, and especially not housing areas.
>>339722723
there were some real comfy villages in the months after the came out.
>>339722921
It is. Just be prepared for an accelerated course on demographic expansion and its risks, with a whole chapter dedicated to starvation by overpopulation
>>339716202
This game fucking sucks.
They were banished because they're fucking stupid and don't listen to commands you give them.
>>339723228
>Starvation by overpopulation
All it takes is buildings farms first and new houses second, not the other way around.

>Banished
VVitch edition when?
>>339722964
I really liked how that worked as well, but I didn't realise that service buildings still sent vehicles to places 'outside' of their range. That was a nice realisation.
>tfw toaster is too shitty to run Banished.
I just wanted to be comfy.
>>339723339
I always build too many houses thinking I was going well and all and BAM baby boom
Man banished is a easy way to kill a fuck ton of time. I feel like calling a city sim is kind of undermining it. Building is easy, managing your resources so your whole town dies in winter/reproduces too fast/ reproduces too slow is the real challenge. I was pretty stoked when I made my town massive and covered a huge portion of the map. It was completely self sustainable. I would just watch it and left it on for 3 days straight
>>339723554
>>339723228
Why don't they just eat the babies like the North Koreans do when famine strikes?
>>339723554
this caught me by surprise the first few times, it didn't occur to me at the time that new houses increased the birth rate among couples.
>>339723693
You really make me want to start again. I just need to find the last buildI'd pay for it but I'm still waiting for my salary after 3 months so no
Eventually I always hit a point where my citizens would rather hoard food and stay inside than work. It's ridiculous and always leads to the town collapsing under its own weight.

Not enough "service" buildings, my friend.
Naval Action is pretty chill. Even the battles can be.
Damn, I'm tempted to buy it now.
I pirated it when it first came out and it was fun
Disappointing that the dev never added more buildings
>>339724361
>>339716202
Any good updates for Banished recently?
Just got boring after a while.
played black and white 2 for the first time a couple days ago. really fucking easy and simple but still kind of fun.
is it normal that ore refining just recycles your ore over and over again so you can't actually run out even when your ore mine is depleted? seems like a bug
never played 1st one, inb4 everyone recommends it over 2
This game is very very chill
>>339725114
Nah, 1st one aged awfully

That is, for now, the center of the town.
This is the western side. I've tried using orchards to create a tree line along roads, farms and pastures.

>>339725554
Dunno, never heard about it, give me a minute to check it out. But CE got really fun after slightly rework of perks, allowing you to get more dice for your character. I just wish there was one more slot for expedition size and the game would be golden for meThe chilliest of all exploration games would be Meriwether, but it's in development for almost 5 years now and no progress is really happening

There is nothing chill about that game until you reach the 200 population mark. Your starting settlers are always starving freezing and dying of exhaustion. At the same time. Always.

>>339716202
I tried to get into it. I think I even reached 10 years count. My population was about 50. It seemed too slow for a chill game. I couldn't speed progress up too much, cause every winter I had to manually make workers switch from working fields to chopping trees or rocks. Then in spring, i had to switch them back again. Annoying that they didn't make some kind of automatic solution for this.

>>339725604
The issue I have with Banished is the lack of information as to why something happened. An example would be that I built another fisher among the ones I had because the fishing was so good, suddenly it all tanked and no one pulled in over +200. But the game never gave me a reason as to why it happened, I tried demolishing a couple of the fisher buildings but it never recovered and I had to start over.
And the lack of buildings really hurt it in my opinion.
ARE YOU FUCKING NIGGERS PLAYING THEOTOWN?
CAUSE YALL NIGGAS SHOULD BE PLAYIN THEOTOWN
COMFY AS FUCK AND ON YA PHONE
>>339726343
You overfished the river causing the fish population to collapse and it was never able to come back.I wish it had more buildings too
>>339725554
Hm... looks interesting, definitely gonna try it out when getting back from work.
>>339726295
Calm down Vera
>>339726578
But if I heavily cut down on it the fish should've easily been able to reproduce.

>>339725817
Try using every space available, but keep some open spots all over the town. Build a forester lodge in town that only plants trees. He/She will fill the empty spots with trees, giving the town a nice organic aesthetic.
I did not spawn right next to my river, I started the settlement from scratch with only a wheelbarrow, which I later removed. The starting area is now a farm town.
>>339727030
I'm as nostalgic for the original as the next guy, but the one with oriental islands that provide different resources is fun as fuck
>>339716202
Friendly reminder that Banished will never ever be finished since the dev abandoned it.
>>339727105
Too boring. It might be my toaster PC, but the environment wasn't interesting enough to explore, and the radio woman wasn't interesting enough.
Maybe the game actually looked good on the highest settings? I dunno.
>>339727294
It's finished.
>>339727294
There was an update like a week and a half ago
>>339727294
Dude it is finished, the dev did everything he said he'd do.
>>339727294
When he released it he pretty clearly stated that he had finished it. At least its something.
Are the modding tools actually good? Or are they just "change building graphics"
>>339725290
Puns aside, your scavenger sleeping on a cold day with your cook making stew with the radio playing classical music hit my comfy spot.
>>339727120
That's not the point. It's how I play games like that. I always kid myself that this time around, I won't just do a boring grid... and bam! Another grid. I guess I've got that ever since SimCity 2000, where this was THE most efficient way of building and now I can't get over itThis is a reason why I can't into Cities Skylines, where the game actively punished you for griding.

Are there any games similiar to Banished but where I build my own medieval city? I really want it to be a sandbox, not a thing with campaing/quests

>>339727789
He's supposed to be finished when the game doesn't require mods to be good.
If a game is finished the moment a dev says it's finished, he might as well fart in your face and call it a finished game.

Stronghold has an economic campaign and sandbox mode
>>339727695
>dude does everything he promises and stops
>HURR DURR ITS SHIT BECAUSE THERE IS NOT MORE CONTENT
There might not be a lot of content but the game is fun. Games aren't bad because there less content if that was true than all bathesda games would be masterpieces.
>>339725554
Haven't played the other one, but RE is fucking fantastic, it's not even that big of a deal if you fail because the game is so happy all the time.

>>339727739
There are mods to make you not lose in Banished.
>>339727924
>when the game doesn't require mods to be good
So you decide when the game doesn't require mods, so when (You) say it's finished.
Ok, let's be and oldfag and spread some nostalgia
One of the comfiest games I've ever played
>>339728010
I played some Banished, it's good but I wanted to get a real medieval city builder. With trading with other cities/countries ect. I guess my dream will never come true
>>339727739
Anno games without any AIs.
>>339727739
Cultures has some pretty similar mechanics. I don't think there's technically a Sandbox mode, but there are single missions where you don't need to bother with the objectives at all as far as I remember.
It's more like Settlers though in the way that it's less cities and more villages/settlements.

>>339727962
And in case of Curious Expedition, the game is pretty straighforward you won't beat it from the start, so it's not like you care about failing. It's not even "hurr git gud" meme, the game is cozy as fuck while in the same time being impossible to beat without cheating.
>>339723447
I like to think that my bunch of starting people got banished from their original town because they were witches.
So I always call my towns "Witch's Bed" or "Witch Haven" or "Witchs' Cove"
>>339727993
Zeus. Maybe some of the other Sierra city builders too, but at least the ones I played only allowed you to defend your town I think.
How is cities skylines not been posted. It's chill as fu
>>339727530
You might have some greek blood in you, but try centralising your town around something uneven like a river, or in a narrow valley like area between two mountains. You can even go as far as building your town around a mountain, with farms extending outwards. Imagine that the villagers revere the mountain as a God, like norse pagans. The norwegian word for hill, ås, stems from Æser or Æsir in english, the term used for Gods like Odin, Thor and Tyr.
>>339728187
Well, this is a decent game but village-building part of it become boring really fast. It's repetitive and if you run out of clay and you are fucked.

Banished is shallow as fuck. It's well made for what it is, but what it is is so bare that you can spend 2 hours making a small town and you've seen all the game has to offer. Mods add a bit more gameplay, but it still suffers from the basic systems of the game being very shallow

I want a sequel to Banished where you can choose ethnic groups that visually affect the buildings you build and being able to build on more uneven terrain. It would look really cool.
Imagine choosing a pagan germanic people with norse style houses and having burial mounds or funeral burnings, including on rivers, instead of christian graveyards.

They added hardmodes and clerics/archers to stonehearth. There's still some bugs to where if you wall off your village the invaders kinda bug out but it's getting fixed in the next big up date. Stonehearth had the issue to where threats weren't really threats. Now you have to micromanage your dudes a bit or they get fucking railed and it's pretty fun.

Start small: none/easy AI, one rail line per train (no collisions, no need for signals), transport cargo, not people by trains (coal to powerstations FTW!). Go for buses for transporting passengers first. Wait for 1-2 cities to grow over 1k citizens, build airports near them. Build simple rail network first, expand when needed/have money.
Learning curve is pretty step, but it fucking worth it

It's really that simple. You can sustain your initial growth up to 100 people without a single tile of farmland. It's not even some sort of "git gud" memery, because this is literally your only starting option - to forage for shrooms and herbs and roots.
Survive first winter and you are absolutely set.

Is Colonial Charter good or does it just add bloat for people who have gotten bored of vanilla? I've played vanilla a decent amount, but wouldn't say I've exhausted it yet.
>>339727853
How do you last long enough to enjoy any amount of comfiness? I swear everytime I run this game up I am either prosecuted to death, literally, for farting in public or getting murdered on the road.Which is why I always run rogue faction and grab 20 henchmen and murder everybody.
Every now and then I boot it up and go mine in a low threat world. But then I remember what an incompetent team chucklefuck is and all the chill is gone.
>>339740628
For me it's great, because there is much greater variety of buildings.
>>339740390
>100 people
Pic related. I made it to 1000, but the farms became ridiculously inefficient, making people travel entire half the map to make it to the farms when there were houses right next to the farms, which also walked half way across the map the other way.
I was doing really good with like >50k reserves of food but efficiency started dwindling because of inefficient housing. Maybe if I could manually allocate workplace for sectors of houses, the winter wouldn't have taken 400 souls that year.

>Is Colonial Charter good
Depends what your definition of "good" is. It's adding a lot of buildings/professions and therefore make a game more interesting. But at the same time it's making it more unforgiving, because there's a good chance that your mistake in assigning jobs become obvious (and deadly) after quite a long time, when it's too late to do something and save the village from dying.
In my opinion it's good and worth at least a look

>>339745749
Cause it was shit and you know it.
Or maybe because SimCity 4 was fucking perfect already?
>>339740815
Try building self-sufficient communities. The biggest mistake planners make is centralization of food production.
While you may have farms for grain and veggies everywhere, you might have fruit orchards and protein pastures / fishing quays concentrated in specific areas, which means people from clear across the map will have to travel there to get a complete diet and likely starve on the way.
For this reason, I play with Colonial Charter for the protein crops. Livestock just don't produce enough for the real estate they require and not every community can be near a lake or river.
>>339745749
because it removed about a hundred things sim city 4 did perfectly fine
shove out actual gameplay so you can tweet about how much shit your city produces in a day
Just started playing Caesar III the other day. I never really had any interest in city building games before but I'm liking this one a lot. I shied away from the genre because I can't be motivated to make a city for the sake of making something that looks good but this game has a good amount of challenge and a campaign with objectives to keep me invested in the gameplay mechanics.

>>339740628
I love colonial charter because of its bloat.
It feels really satisfying to finally upgrade my urban center to tier 3 townhouses with officer townhouses to fill in the gaps.
Plus all the little aesthetic mods like being able to create an actual pier with a flagpost or a marble statue to house my trading depots gets me erect.
>>339745749
Launch disaster.
But even without, the biggest problem that remain and no patch gonna fix it, city's max size.
It was way to restricting for such game.
>>339745749
SimCity 4 basically perfected the "modern city" city builder and 2013 through all of that shit out the window for agent-based simulation.
>>339745894
Well it wasn't the best SC game but it certainly wasn't "shit". My only real issue was that the maps were fucking tiny. Bigger maps would have made planning and city building way more interesting.
>>339746217
If I'm not mistaken Pharaoh has roadblocks and plays very similarly to Caesar III.
>>339745749
>not posting the one legitimately underrated SimCity game
>>339746061
Just started this series myself with Emperor, really great comfy game. Was thinking to go to Cleopatra after. Really fun stuff.
>>339746406
I think the sheer fact that the maps were tiny in a game like simcity is more than enough reason to class the game as shit (that and the awful agent pathfinding), despite the fact that it had plenty of good ideas.
>>339740628
It's great if you like exploring a new take on vanilla.
Unmodded Colonial Charter can be a bit jarring as iron rocks just drop ore which has to be refined, and many typically inexpensive buildings in vanilla have been given more complex recipes involving refined resources that require industry to be set up which makes early-game progression take a lot longer.
Despite that, it's enjoyable when you get used to it. It's an improvement over vanilla for the compression aspects, mainly. You eventually produce tinned food, which doubles your production efforts, and you get it to people using giant markets for even map distribution. Scenarios like running out of space on the map for foresters to keep up fuel supply is common in vanilla, so CC lets you build logging barges with a currency industry and import precious metals to support it, which is surprisingly efficient if you product surplus trade goods (which you will).
Pretty comfy.
>>339745749
Cities: Skylines did every interesting different thing in Simcity better
>>339747029
That was Tilted Mill, wasn't it?
I think they did Children of the Nile and pic related. Too bad their new game is stuck in dev hell.
Making rural areas in Cities Skylines is pretty hard.Makes sense, but still.
>>339721670
>mfw have to devastate entire forests to keep people warm for a single winter
I knew that feeling for far too long.
Don't wait to long get foresters, they literally yield up to 150 wood or more per season after a few seasons, without turning the map into a desert.
7 days to die is good, if only the hordes weren't so
overbearing it would be even better.

Anno 1404 is less city-building and trading and more about map control vs. AI.

What sucks is that you can't make a real agricultural region. Farms have both the same sizes and outputs as a factory, so a tiny orchard produces a factory-sized load of apples meaning if you want to build huge argricultural areas connected with rural roads you get insane traffic from all the cargo trucks

Nah, Pharaoh is in many ways a step-back from Ceasar. Plus I'm not talking about just road-blocks. I'm talking about decorative gates from Emperor.

It's more that agricultural demand would eventually plummet the more educated your sims became. There's no real reason to invest in it, since it doesn't scale with your city, there's no way to satiate development naturally unless you have the absolute smallest town, and it produces significant pollution you can't mitigate.

>>With 4, not 2, not 3, but 4 entire trading docks for some god forsaken reason
That makes more traders appear.
Or at least it used to in some version.
Planet Coaster - The true sequel is going to be amazing. Already played the alpha and so far I'm really impressed. It's going to shit all over RCTWorld.
>>339748310
Let's put it like this:
If early access was always done like in this game, it would be the best thing since invention of sliced bread.
The game rocks and it's still just early access. While fully playable. The devs are really great and actually listen to things people say, but don't bow down completely to vocal minorities. Game is definitely on constant support and getting closer and closer to being finished, with visible progress each update.
I feel like a shill now. Either way, definitely the best game that came out of the "survive on your own in the wild" craze of '14

Seriously, has its own website. The guys who run that mod are pretty dedicated.
Kind of sad they're trying to make their own game now using Unity or w/e.
They'll never hit their mark with that tech, but they're determined regardless.
Rimworld is quiet comfy, just remember to put on the builder mode

Probably has a lot to do with the aesthetics and style.

I know you can. It's just not practical. This is the very reason why road-blocks were introduced in Pharaoh. But then with Emperor the devs realised it's still not enough, hence decorative gates and their semi-controlled flow of walkers.

or get random event such as toxic fallout, causing you to stopp having your colonist go outside else they will get sick, and eventually die. Leaving you to starve to death if you didnt stack up on food.
Fuck, there's a city building game I used to play as a kid in the early 2000s, and I can't find it online anywhere.
It was on PC, and I think it came from a cereal box. I could have sworn it was monopoly-themed (there was the utility station, waterworks, and railway), but it didn't play like a board game, it was a city builder.
You collected taxes and income and shit from your buildings and you could upgrade them. You could move the camera down and see the 3D models of the buildings.
I've tried googling it multiple times but it always came up with monopoly board game simulators.
>>339750771
>don't have to make art assets
>save time
>still charge $30 for unfinished product
I don't get it. Even that lazy fuck Notch put in like 5 minutes to make his game's art for every update.
I always found Terraria quite comfy, especially when I went around building little hidey holes in the complex of caves underground.
>>339750983

>>339750941
worst thing about toxic fallout is every single animal in the area dies
desu I'd like to see it expanded to occaisionally create mutated versions of those animals with randomized behaviour and stat changes that are immune to the fallout

There is no excuse for any dev not to make their own art, with or without skills. It's even worse if they charge for it.

I have a dead save somewhere with one guy with 4 long term sicknesses; I quit the save because a mechanoid pod dropped in too early in the game and I didn't have the steel stockpiled to cheese them with turrets (because the guy with 4 long term sicknesses was my primary miner; of course.)

What changed, anon?
Fuck i have 0 stone or logs. Did i built shit too quickly?? What do?
I have a lot of food though
>>339753314
nothing, still love it but lost my old copy
>>339752653
It... kinda is... But...
It takes a while to load between the various areas, There are only 9 set maps you can really pick unless DLC...
But even the DLC from what I hear with the Tundra one is reusing other building models and saying it does something different. They don't even change the text on the buildings.
The end game building is a money sink that does nothing as well. It's tiny and costs like 1 million credits, And it has add on pieces that cost another 500,000 credits to build the hall ways and end pieces. So to make something large and interesting, I would have to make like 25 million credits. And again, It does nothing and looks/feels small.
There is only one faction, serperated into different groups on Arctic, Moon and Warm climate. You don't fight people for space, but compete against them in a global market where later on you can buy them out. There is no multiplayer with friends to build and compete. The combat sections are in secluded zones that feel like just a cheap arcade game where you mass your units and move them to your enemy while scouring the map for resources...
It does look pretty though. Worth ATLEAST $25 at the most.
>>339727739
This is all I want, a pseudo-medieval version pharaoh/zeus/caesar-type city builder. to my knowledge, none exists. anno feels like a spreadsheet, stronghold has almost nothing to do with city-building, so banished is the closest I guess but it's stil not quite it
I play plenty of dorf fort but it doesn't scratch the same itch

That's a shame. It runs fine on modern computers. Too bad that there doesn't seem to be any place where you can buy it digitally

its too good at being what it is, is what Im saying, and I quietly resent it for that.

Here you go:
https://mega.nz/#!wZ4GnZQK!qTYRKcR4_RBs-uotqYaKUV7Z9RwYTx8HgKPk6Dh8l64
Mount the image with WinCDEmu or your preferred virtual drive and install as normal.
The "Unlimited" version has better NT support than vanilla, so it should install just fine.
Afterwards, you may need run it as admin, as it uses its install directory to save games.
If that still fails, additionally run it in Win XP compatibility mode.
The patch might not be necessary.

>>339720984
said, it's a basic city builder. But to expand: it is a game whose tone is so pitch-perfect it transcends the limits of its mechanics.
Like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SOC- there is a shit load wrong with that game. Its buggy as fuck vanilla. But the graphical aesthetic, the people, the feeling of walking into town after a harrowing frenzy of battle with mutants and bandits and hearing that strum of guitar and the russian babbling of your fellow stalkers as they rest around the barrel-fire. There is nothing that comes close to that. Its why morrowind is better than skyrim, its why Majora's Mask (just barely) beats OOT for the n64 zeldas.
Its why banished is fun as fuck. Struggling through winter, flourishing in summer, managing fires or plague or trading effectively. All of it with a gentle soundtrack and quiet clicking and ticking and clanking of your townsfolk at work. It just 'feels' good. Not many games capture this.
Also you shouldn't compare games to Dort forb. Its in a class of its own.

A lot of people say its the GBA one- Harvest Moon:Friends of Mineral Town. I personally agree with the latter. Depends on if you want to play it handheld vs on the computer (unless you are a lucky faggot who has a working N64 still)
Also the series is apparently called "Story of Seasons" but it used to be called some japanese shit. No one but weebs and fools call them that though. Its just harvest moon if you are talking about harvest moon or rune factory if you are talking about that. They are the only ones that matter anyway.

There's no way to view priority or work order queue, but you can just use the priority increase button to move any task you want to the front of the queue.
The game only re-assigns workers as needed and as priorities shift.
So if you have 12 builders working on a bunch of stuff, but want a specific building done first, you can increase that building's priority. Let's say the building can have up to 4 builders on it. This will re-direct 4 builders from other projects to work on it while the other builders just keep doing whatever.
You're pretty much a telepathic overmind.
