... had to search for you all*lol*. My last post over in the official forum was arround the end of May - Beginning June I awaked in hospital after a motorcycle accident (not my fault, but my pain, anyway, damn car). I'm well and fully restored now and had some time for Banished on my laptop since my offline-stay - helped alot also to go through rehabilitation. I'm now back on feet at home since last weekend. Just want to say "Hello again" to all here new here and oldone's from over there :). Well done forum@solarscreen, was overdue, handy and spamfree, love it. I have to take my time now to catch up what happened here and to place a couple more 'funny pictures' ;) aswel as pictures from Walhalla once I've transfered my save's 'n shots from my laptop.

@landgrave Wow!  Glad you were able to recover!  You just don't realize how much something like that can take from you until it happens.

Glad to have you with us over here.  Take your time looking around and be sure to let me know if you see anything missing or anything you would like to add or change.

Enjoy! and Welcome!

Well, I've moved over from the Shining Rock site.  This seems to be a better forum.

I am a retired professor of computer science and I run Banished on my dual core AMD machine in Ubuntu 14.04 with wine-1.7.22 (at the moment).  Wine has a problem with the threading model and therefore the game runs like a snail, but since I have all the time in the world, I don't really mind.

I've been playing for about a month.  Very interesting learning curve.

Hello everyone!  I'm 33, so I guess I'm the young one around here haha.  I live in Washington State.

I purchased this game back at the beginning of March because I thought it looked promising.  I quickly became frustrated and stopped playing, mainly due to a total lack of purpose and understanding of how the game worked.  For whatever reason, I decided to give it a try again this July.  Now I'm hopelessly hooked.  Awesome game, and glad I decided to give it another try.  I'm approaching 300 citizens on probably my 7th town.  Things seem to be going well for now...

I have heard about the bugs other people have experienced, but I have not experienced any myself.  The game seems to run perfectly.

Anyways, that's enough rambling for me.

A quick hello from me. Can't remember how I found Banished, but it's flippin' awesome!

I'm an admin from another forum (lowerleaguemanager.com/forum all about playing football manager without any cheating!) and hope to be part of something lively and informative here.

The last time I played a game that hooked me like Banished, was the original TTD, and then that got Mod-ed and remade and all sorts. Hopefully Banished can flourish now the Mod kit is here.

Anyway, :hello:

Hi, just joined today after many futile attempts. Have been reading up the Banished fora for a couple of weeks; it's a while since I liked a new game this much. You see, I'm one of those freaks that are into survival mode in games - the moment I've accumulated tons of stuff or got to the Nth level, I lose interest.

Love the mods you guys have been coming up with. I was wondering today whether it's possible to do something that wouldn't force one into going the hunting route at the start. Fishing's pretty useless as a protein alternative because you need the leather for the clothes. If there was another source of clothing early on (I always play Adam and Eve), fishing would become a viable early choice.

Sorry to go off on a tangent like that. So hello everyone, I'm also very impressed by the cities you have managed to build! I'm not sure I can match that, even though I'm an experienced gamer.

Title: Re: Welcome New Members!
Post by: Mahnogard on October 03, 2014, 07:03:28 PM
Hi Michael! Welcome! To avoid hunting, I'd say you'd have to initially keep your people working very close to home so they can get warm, then prioritize trading as early as possible to get wool and wool-bearing animals. (We have two now, because of the Llama mod, which is my favorite thing right now. :D Llamas!!!) Check out the thread for the Vegetarian Challenge - might be some stuff in there you'll find useful. http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?topic=224.0 It's more hardcore than what you want to do, and I haven't actually read the thread, but there are probably some strategy notes in there to get around the hunting problem.
Title: Re: Welcome New Members!
Post by: irrelevant on October 03, 2014, 07:07:48 PM
Don't know why you would want to avoid hunting, it is such easy early food, the most food you can get from a single guy, plus leather for coats! Just look at where the herds of deer are, and plop down a cabin so that the circle has at least one herd in it. But it's not hard to site it so that it has two different herds moving thru every year; that's where the big payoff is.

This cabin gets 800-1200 venison every year, and I never have had more than the one hunter in it.

Oops! We're OT  :-[
Title: Re: Welcome New Members!
Post by: michaelrym on October 04, 2014, 02:45:51 AM
It's not a question of 'avoiding' hunting. I like hunting, but would like to have another choice right at the start. Bear in mind that with Adam and Eve, it's quite a while before you get the chance to buy any seeds.

Never mind, shouldn't have mentioned it in this thread.
Title: Re: Welcome New Members!
Post by: irrelevant on October 04, 2014, 06:37:46 AM
Ah, okay. I find that a gatherers' hut is an excellent food producer, as long as you have a good-sized forest to put it in.

Post by: AzemOcram on October 14, 2014, 08:19:49 AM
Hello! I am Ocram. I have built 4 villages in Banished, 1 of which died of old age, 2 of which were moderately successful, and one of which is extremely successful. My last village got to a population of approximately 60 before I got busy and stopped playing for a while. Steam says I played about 20 hours of Banished. I would like to play Banished more but it is installed on my gaming rig, which is at my mother's house, which I don't get much opportunity to visit nowadays.

My favourite games are simulation and sandbox games. I play SimCity, Cities XL, The Sims, Minecraft, Tropico, and Civilization as well.

I look forward to reading helpful tips here and downloading mods to help expand this game. I might try to make some mods eventually. I kind of want to make a brick walk-up upgrade to the bunkhouse which would be slightly warmer and have the same or higher capacity but allow families to form but that would require I made bricks a new resource.

And ... as soon as you get the starvation thing worked out, count on something else biting you in the backside.  It's a more challenging game than first glance would indicate.  Enjoy and welcome.
Title: Re: Welcome New Members!
Post by: AzemOcram on December 05, 2014, 11:40:16 AM
Yeah, after you figure out how to prevent your townsfolk from starving to death, you realize that you have not built enough houses fast enough and your town dies of old age. I threw out my first village because of starvation but I stopped playing my second village because of old age. Now, I use the Colonial Charter mod, which combines a couple of my favourite mods together in a good way and it has extended how much fun I can out of the game. Sadly, despite a whole lot of effort put in by my part, I cannot get Banished to run on my 5 year-old laptop that now runs Linux. Fortunately, my dad has a 4 year-old laptop that still runs windows that plays Banished like a charm (except it overheats).
Title: Re: Welcome New Members!
Post by: A Nonny Moose on December 05, 2014, 01:08:01 PM
Well, old friend, I can get it to crawl on Linux under wine, but there are some serious problems with wine interfering with the multitasking.  Changes it over to apartment threading or tries to.  The result is that it crawls like a snail even at 10x speed.

Heresy!  I might even get a copy of W 7 just to play Banished.

Hi, I've been lurking a bit and decided if I'm going to keep reading all the useful posts, I ought to at least introduce myself.  I bought Banished during the Steam Summer Sale, but never got around to installing it until a couple weeks ago.  After my first few failed towns due to the usual reasons (starvation, old age die off, etc) I finally got the hang of the game and completed all the achievements.  Then I went looking for mods, which led me here.

Once I got past the initial learning curve the game hooked me, so I expect to spend many hours on it.  Special thanks to all the wonderful mod creators.  Mainly only used some of RK's and Slinks so far, but all the modders deserve a shout out.

Hi! I just joined, and just got the game last week, though I've played lots of games in this style before with various iterations (including going back to the original Settlers game (which was much more sandbox than later incarnations which seemed to have pre-rendered maps and specific goals - the earlier ones were more fun).

I'm also also a professional desktop software developer so who knows, I might try my hand as some mods, or maybe some modding tools, if there's a need.

Anyways, thank you for making these forums!

G'day guys

New arrival that is nothing short of hooked on the game,and for what i have read there are many like minded people here.
Have looked high and low for a game that could be played as close to the real as possible,from what i have seem from other posts,this community has some very cleaver people that could tweak this to that point.

Happy to be here.

Never one to ignore a welcome-type thread, here goes nothing!

Among other things I'm a long time city building fan (Pharaoh, Zeus, CoTN, SimCity4, etc, etc) & purchased Banished via GOG the day it was released. Love the base game, really love the official updates, & especially love the terrific mods the Banished community is turning out. (Mods are something of an addiction with me, I fear!)

I tend to be more of a lurker than a poster on most sites (except for several Sims 2 sites, my primary addiction) but felt I should *introduce* myself before I ask for help regarding a minor annoyance I've just encountered. Seems more polite this way, anyway!

So anyway, "Hello" & I can't help but notice many familiar user names and/or avatars floating around here, which is neat. You may not *know* me but I *know* many of you!  ;)

Um, okay, that sounded a lot creepier than I meant it. Think I'll sign off before things get even more awkward...

I suppose a belated intro is better than none. :)

I signed up for the forums here, because anytime I did a web search for info to help with my villages I ended up reading a thread here. Thank you folks for the tons of useful info, I've found it very helpful.

I learned about Banished from a friend on the Sims 3 website back in March and looked into it. It's been a wonderful addition to my game rotation.

I'm in my mid 40's and was working full time plus uni full time until my back went out, now it's just uni until my back is better. As much I would love to spend my free time playing with our grandbabies, they live to far away, so my activities rotate between reading, tv/movies, and my games: sims 2, 3, 4; civ IV (my pc wont run V), Banished, and the occasional tycoon games. That is until my back is better and I can once again do my other loves, gardening and cycling.

I think I signed up for and maybe even posted once or twice over at the Shining Rock site, but like I said I kept finding myself over here for info. :)

I guess I should throw in my few words in here too. Like others, I came across this site while googling for something or other Banished related, read a few posts, might have posted something back then too, but then I put Banished aside for a couple of months. Thankfully, I had bookmarked this (and a few other) Banished-related sites, so when I picked up the game again, I started going through all those sites again, slowly dropping them one at a time as I find no interest to pursue those particular ones. So now, I pretty much only have the official one, this one, and the reddit one.

I'm turning 50 this summer, been playing games pretty much since they started showing up on computers. I tend to go on binges, switching from one game to another. Lately, it's been FlightSim and Banished, but I play a lot of Minecraft as well. (just not these days).

I've been doing all sorts of things IT related in my years, from simple technical analyst to programmer. I don't write software professionally anymore, I only do it as a hobby.  I'm married (my wife likes her DragonAge type games) and we have one teenager who only has eyes for Minecraft.

Welcome, @sandysan! There are a number of Francophones on the forums here--and trust me, your English is way, way better than my French. My grandkids, who are in the "French Immersion" program in school, once told their mother, "Mom, Granddad can't even count to un!" Sad, but true.

Alors, mon ami, je parle Français comme un Basque Espaniol.  Canada is supposed to be bilingual, but the dialect spoken in Quebec is nothing like either the Langue d'oui or the Langue d'oc.  I lean more towards Langue d'oc if I must parler Français.  I am just one of those maudit Anglos from Ontario.

Don't bash yourself, I had French in school for 8 years and I can barely read and understand the language, and speak none. I'd better off learning by myself like I did with English, never needed a teacher to learn how to read, write and speak, it only took an English girlfriend living with me for 4 years. Darn, she was devilish, she use to hide the subtitles on my TV/Video movies so I could learn English the hard way. :))

Hi all,

I'm a retired programmer.  I don't play a lot of computer games, just a little Caesar III and Pharaoh (with "personal goals" to make the missions more challenging). 

I bought Banished a few months ago (when GOG had a sale) after seeing my daughter play, but didn't try it until recently.  My loss. :( I haven't enjoyed a game this much in a long time.  This site has given me several good ideas such as a vegetarian village.

Has anyone thought of using the Adam and Eve mod and requiring everyone to be educated?  It sounds pleasantly difficult.

Welcome @Brugle :  If you are running Adam and Eve, how do you plan to create a teacher?
Build a school, then (shortly before the first child turns 10) make one of the adults a teacher.  The other adult must do everything else until the first child graduates.

Post by: Nilla on March 07, 2015, 10:49:53 AM
I have been thinking about it, but not dared to try. They have plenty to do at the beginning. I have played Adam and Eve twice. As I remember, the last time the two first children stayed uneducated before I built the school for the third child. Maybe it's possible to have them all educated, maybe not. I hope you'll let us know if you try it and succeed (also if you try without success)

Hey all! Just getting back into Banished after a long break (played about 40 hours around launch.) Long-time lurker here, figured it was time to make an account. Smallish, friendly little message board communities such as this one are my favourite places on the internet and having people to talk to about the odd little details of something you like always goes a long way to keeping you engaged and interested. When I'm finally finished nursing my first and so far only real town, I'm looking forward to trying out some overhaul mods like Colonial Charter and participating in some forum challenges.

I'm a long time player of Banished, but this is the first forum I've ever joined with other players.
I enjoy the game allot and I look forward to getting to know others around the board.

I would also love to learn how to make new things for the game.
I like to learn <3.
Thanks to all the wonderful people here I've already met and I hope to meet more of you.

Hello fellow banished players !

I will confess, I came here specifically because I needed more Red Ketchup !   

I tried an older version of his midieval town and loved it.
I built the Cathedral , and I must say it is Absolutely Fantastic!

Banished is a great game and  I play the vanilla version as well as trying out different  mods from time to time. Mostly for purely aesthetic reasons. What can I say, decorating towns is one way I like to relax.

I want to thank all you mod folks out there for all your labors of love, and efforts to provide "non modders"  like myself the variety, and beauty, and new challenges that you add to the game.

Thank You All !!

Hello! I bought the game last December but didn't start playing it till the last month. I just found this place a few days ago while searching for some answer to a question, not that I can remember that question now. I just started playing the normal mods that show up on the game a few days before that. (1st and 2nd story houses and dairy.)

Other then Sims this is the first time I've played a game with any mods at all.  I've been looking all over the place for a newbie guide without much luck.  How/where do I put a mod after I've downloaded it?  After it's unzipped does it give instructions on where to put it?  I'm not much of a computer person so I'm always a little paranoid about downloading and moving it to another area.  Do we have a newbie section where these questions and others are answered?
Title: Re: Welcome New Members!
Post by: irrelevant on September 11, 2015, 03:15:49 PM
@JDiamondW welcome!

The mod file is a .pkm file. You just copy that file into the folder named "WinData" that is in your "Banished" folder.
Title: Re: Welcome New Members!
Post by: Gordon Dry on September 11, 2015, 11:31:27 PM
Hi JDiamondW,

For Steam these are the folders:

1. c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Banished\WinData\
2. c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\242920\
and *.pkm mods in here will be copied to the first mentioned folder on game launch.

But you can do this by hand before launching the game.

I suggest to delete the *.sub files in the first folder after a successful game start.
That solved problems for me.

Hi Everyone

Only came across this game a few weeks ago but already totally addicted. I'm loving this site as its so full of useful info and everyone seems so nice.

I am not your typical gamer being both old and female but don't hold it against me - I enjoy it as much as anyone!

Title: Re: Welcome New Members!

Depends on what you mean by old.  I am a 1937 model myself, and have nothing against females.

Post by: LadyMarmalade on September 30, 2015, 07:13:11 AM
Thanks, A Nonny Moose, I don't feel quite so out of place at all now and certainly not as antique as I did.

I hadnt checked out the Members List until just now and have been very pleased to see that being older and female doesn't make me the oddity it usually does in forums I have joined!

There also seems to be a strong Canadian element which is very interesting.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone. Unfortunately,since I can't mod or make content,I won't be a very useful member but I'll hopefully be lurking around the forums picking up little gems of information and, in time, sharing my gleaned knowledge.

Thanks, RedKetchup. I am already a HUGE fan of your work. My latest towns are liberally adorned with your buildings etc. I am so envious of your talent and thank you for making my gaming experience so much better!

The version of the 'Lady Marmalade' song which my name relates to was by a group called Labelle - which was one of the first single's I ever bought - inj 1974,I think! So that gives makes me a very slightly older model than you.

Thanks,Paeng. I certainly fit that criteria. I've done little else but play Banished for the past month! (Given the choice - WHO would choose housework over Banished!?) My first few towns barely made it through their first winters but I'm slowly getting the hang of it now. My new challenge is getting past 200 citizens. That seems to be my stumbling block!

I would encourage you to check them out as well.  It's a great game, and the mods folks have developed make it much better for the most part.

Hello! I played Banished for about a year and liked it very much, though there were some things which I wanted to change. Particularely, I longed for milk and honey. I was sure, that somebody already have made them, and after a year of playing I finally decided to find them :) So I found several web-sites, but this is the best.

I still have several ideas that were not realised yet (or were realised in the other way from what I want), and I want to share them and to try making mods by myself. The problem is that I have never dealt with 3d-modeling and almost never - with programming. So I am going to write a new post in the section "Suggestions and Mod Ideas", to share my ideas and to ask several stupid questions :) I hope somebody is still here to help.

Already made some print screens to get some feedback. I'll post them whenever i get home.

What i struggle with mostly is buidling stone houses. The first tries I started of with wooden houses which got me starting quickly with rapid pop growth. With now trying to go for stone houses I quickly get into situations where I have to send my laborers too far out just to get some stone.

And no stone means no new houses/building which means less babies and thus less laborers to send out.

But after some slow years I seem to finally get the momentum going and i'm getting to the point of building a trading dock. I've already got some excess firewood which means i should be fine. Pop growth has been slower than in my previous games but the stone houses should help me going for 1.000 pop :-).

(year 12 now - i'll post some screens this evening - in this topic?!)

Hello, I'm Pål. I just heard of this place, I don't yet know the situation here but someone finally replied to an old post in the Steam Workshop Discussions where I asked for help saying that I should just repost it here because there are more modders here so I'm more likely to find some help, I'll do that after this. The challenges here sound interesting. I played a ton of Banished in the early versions; before the Steam achievements; and off and on quite a bit up through 1.0.2 and got a couple achievements before I moved on to other games. I've been playing a lot again lately (1.0.6 on Steam) and there seems to be even more Steam achievements so I'm going to try and get all of those then I'll check out the challenges. By the way am I going to have to go through this verification every time I post a thread, comment, or modification?

yeah the verification is only for the 3-5 first posts (it is in place to take care of the bots)

about the achievements, as soon you will have 1 mod enable, you wont be able to get any achievement. so if you want those all made, do it before you start using mods... because once you will do .... you wont want to play vanilla again without mods ^^

Hi!

I'm Fëa, I've been playing Banished for about 2 weeks, I'm loving the game and the mods I've found in this community. I was reading while the game loads, thought I'd say hello :)

Hola Fea :)

Hope you have a pleasant stay at WoB.

Barcelona. Been there once in 1974 and saw so many nice buildings.
I was 11 at the time and was in awe with the Sagrada Familia and the Stadium Monumental.

Sadly my folks did not wanted to pay a visit to Nou Camp though. :(
Title: Re: Welcome New Members!
Post by: FeaGalaxia on August 21, 2017, 04:32:53 AM
Thank you!

You should come again, you could do like us: we go to the Sagrada Familia every 20 years or so, to see how the construction is going, it's like a popular tradition  ;D

Maybe not the best moment to visit the Camp Nou though... we're not happy with the team  >:( (I'm a big supporter). Though I guess now is not the best time to encourage visits to Barcelona anyway  :(

Hello!

I remember good things from Barcelona, going there when I was young.
We always ended up at Tibidabo. Amazing!

Sorry about latest incident. It makes me sad.
I know a lot of Catalan people want to reduce the stream of tourists but
terrorism is not what they wanted. I sympathize with your region.

Oh, forgot. Welcome!

Signing up for a forum in my lunch break: that's pretty neat.

Hi, call me Dae. I've been playing Banished for a few weeks now. It's insidious. I keep playing it when I have important things to do! I'm not complaining. Much. I've a thing for simulation games anyway, so I should have known better.

I haven't actually tried any of the mods yet, because I am still enjoying the game as it is. But I trust I will be installing some mods when I need variety.

My first town was surprisingly succesful on easy. I am just now playing it on medium, but probably will start a hard game soon.

The forum looks nice and informative. I'll be checking out bits here and there, though not right now. It is my lunch break and I need to feed myself, right?

I've been playing Banished since May and just recently completed most of the Achievements. I have 5 left and don't know if I'll get them; I started playing CC1.71 and pro-ba-bly won't go back to Vanilla. haha

You have a nice place here.

Just wanted to give you an update from the hurricane. We made it through ok. No damage to the house, but we haven't had power since Sunday and may not for another few days, but it could have been a LOT worse. The storm hit about 3 hours south of us, which spared Tampa Bay the worst of it for which we are very thankful.
Others took it much worse than we did. If you can please donate to the Red Cross relief fund.

hello all, bought banished when it first came out and of course loved it.  Was super excited for Mods on steam, but as time went on the mods were....underwhelming.  Then they just kind of stopped other than black liquid.  I still continued playing, until while playing around on reddit i found the banished sub.  I was directed here!  I cannot wait to try out the MANY mods here for a wonderful game!  Just wanted to say thanks for setting this up and a hello to all!

Hi everyone, new to the forum and looking around. I've only recently (last weekend) discovered the game thanks to a friend, and have really enjoyed it, so I thought I would try to expand my horizons and gameplay a bit by trying out a few mods to see what can be done. My friend uses the Colonial Charter mod and I find that to be a little overwhelming at the moment. So I thought I'd look around and try a few simple additions to get a feel for what is offered.
Thanks and I'll try to keep the dumb questions to a minimum. :-X

Post by: brads3 on February 26, 2018, 03:26:31 PM
be advised 1.06 mods should work still.there are a few exceptions but not many. many have been updated and are in the downlad section under the 1.07 mod link.just because a modc turns red doesnot mean it will not work either. that has changed also.there is a new community icon added to the tool bar that most new mods will now go under.due to this addition most mods do show red.

WOLF there should be a new map blog started this week. a super test of many mods to showcase lots that have been added.

Welcome @oldgraywolf . :)   Don't worry about thinking any question might be "dumb".

When I started the game was maybe 2 years old, I think.   I found this wonderful forum with active modders who are very talented and it is the best thing ever if one is playing Banished!

There are so many mods now and some change the game play. For example, some make the iron on the ground turn to iron ore, and then you need to add a smelter that someone made in order to have iron made.  To avoid that, on the BlackLiquid forum (where you get CC) there is an "Iron is Iron" mod so you don't need to smelt iron ore.  I just started trying out smelting iron and it isn't so bad, but at first I didn't like that change some mods made, since I just wanted to play quickly to learn how better to play the game.

A good starting mod for me was kid1293's Forest Outpost Mod at http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=202.   It adds some nice log cabins to put near the hunter, gatherers and forester.

One thing I didn't know for a while was that with Kid's mods, he also adds a stringtable.rsc file but we don't add that to our games.  It is for modders to use to make translations.

Hi all.

I'm just starting out in the Banished world and am still playing the plain vanilla version with some mods but am looking forward to exploring more. I found this site while looking for some specific mods. Haven't found the mods yet - but have found how to make my own (which I am not going to be doing any time soon as the uni semester is about to start here and I'm heading back to study). I've been so excited to find mods!

Hello everyone,

First of all a big thank you to all modders. You are making a wonderful job in making Banished enjoyable after all these years and I am very grateful for your hard work and creativity.

I've been playing Banished on and off for quite some time and in my opinion it's one of the best city builders because it is actually challenging. Lately I found myself in need of a change and started to mod it like crazy. I'm having a hard time to make it work with MM8 in addition of all the great mods I can't play without, and all the newish mods I want to try, but the load order is also part of the challenge.  :P

I'm from sunny French Riviera so please bare with me if my English is not the best.  :-[

Hello all,
I actually joined this forum last year, and have read through so many old threads and downloaded mods and gotten all kinds of inspiration, but I've never actually said "hello". So, if you'll forgive my lack of manners, I'm finally introducing myself. ;)

I've been playing Banished for well over a year. Started in vanilla, found Colonial Charter (wow!), but now play with a whole hodge-podge of Kid's mods, Gothic Fantasy, Proper Time etc etc. I love setting little challenges for myself in-game. In my current world (named 'Refugia') I immediately built Kid's Forest Lamp-Post, and I HAVE to accept all arriving nomads. It's starting to get tricky!!
I'd love to play some challenges with others. I know the Challenges part of the forum isn't very busy, but if anyone is up for a themed game then I'd be keen.

Last week I ordered parts for a new PC (I currently play on a rather average laptop). And once I get that running I plan to install Blender and start playing around with making my own 3D models :)   A huge thanks to everyone here who has put a lot of effort into posting tutorials and sharing their work. I've really appreciated it, even if I've never logged in to say thanks.

cheers!
Chelle.

Hello everyone ! I decided to register after that I played more than 500 hours (96 hours on Steam version, the 404 hours left were played on GOG version) on Banished. I tried most of the mods present here and I enjoy the game more thanks to it. I have recently provided a French translation for the Nordic expansion of @Tom Sawyer. If anyone else wants I provide a French translation of their mods, let me know and I will be glad to do it for you :)

I guess I should say hello over here.

52 year old Lady who was young, hip, and cool once! ;D

I'm a long time gamer. I have played pen and paper D&D, and Original Warcraft turn-based strategy games, along with other desktop games like civilization, and the Ultima series.

Started playing MMORPGs with Everquest, then Everquest 2, then WoW. In between WoW breaks, I discovered this little game on Steam called Banished! I played vanilla up to about 75% of the achievements (about 2 years.)

I was inspired to try other city building games and played sim city societies for a bit, but there just wasn't any challenge in it and it got old fast. I went back to re-install Banished, and it was then that I discovered mods. Ha!

I think Colonial Charter was my first and only one for quite some time, but then I decided to see if there was a way to slow aging down a bit. Then I went mod-crazy.

Anyway, every time I think I'm done, I see a new mod and I come back.

I think the Civ I played all the way through to the very end was Civ 3? It was in the '90's sometime. When I tried playing Civ again, it was one of the newer ones and I hated it. :( I wish my 12 year old son could somehow play the version I did. I learned SO much history from that game!

Thank you all for kind welcome.  And especially you, RK.   I have enjoyed Banished - and your mods - even with its trial and error approach to learning to play well.
  @Banished:  Play Colonial Charter 175 (now 176) with minor mods added, mainly additional bridges, and the larger families mod.  Most recently I came across RK's  Editor's Choice - trying the FULL version (loaded before CC) as I am enthralled with the canal options and green houses.   One question:  is there a summary anywhere of the new buildings, production chains introduced by Editor's Choice?  I've looked - Nada.
  @ me:  Just retired from helping professional career.  Upstate NY, (Canadian border), considering moving to NYC, as I am finally (finally!!  yea!!) doing what I love, writing screen plays.  Five done so far.  One screen play is a sequel - novel and episodic versions also partially done.
  @ other games I play and/or mod (fairly often):   
      Children of the Nile (sandbox like Banished).  Like the H.O.R.U.S graphic mod.
      Elder Scroll games:  Morrowind - Cyrodiil ("Oblivion") - Skyrim.
      Fallout: 2, 3, New Vegas, 4 (took my graduate degree in Boston - so 4 is quite nostalgic).
      Universe.
      Fallen Enchantress.
      Europa Univarsalis.
    Two older games I played that I feel were (are) outstanding:
      Torment.
      Mask of the Betrayer.

I hope this is sufficient for an introduction to these forums.

Be well,

you are welcome @elana  :)

thanks you for playing my mods :)

unfortunatly, since i am alone for doing all my own things, i dont really have the time to write down everything. The CC crew were 3-4 and even 5 people, someone was on graphic, another on the code, another to testing... another one on the wiki....

everything is very time consuming. and writing a wiki... thats alot of work. at some point, someone offer himself to help but... disappeared being quiet about the help offered.
i try to write the most stats on the tooltips to let people know but sometimes i forget.


still hoping you enjoy it !

Hi! I'm another longtime lurker finally checking in. I am a hopeless Banished addict and would be lost without this forum! (So, please don't delete me.)  :-\

I discovered Banished in July 2017 and then found World of Banished a couple of months later. I spend time here every day reading reading tips and ideas, making sure I don't miss mod updates, and enjoying stories in the Village Blogs.

Btw, I appreciate all of the modders here at WoB. You are all so talented, and your mods keep Banished fun for me! A big thank-you for all you do.

Post by: Kristahfer on December 21, 2018, 04:21:41 PM

I have been coming here everyday since 2015, and here lately twice a day hoping to find another creative endeavor to load and try out. Just hit the 350 mark. Guess that makes me a mod hog. A day does not go by that I do not spend time with Banished, which in my opinion is one of the best city building games around. Primarily because of the non PVP environment. Early in my life I spent time actually learning how to kill and then putting that skill to work in a war zone. Now at 73, killing or fighting is not my cup of tea, especially not in a game where I want to relax and have fun.


Thanks to all the skilled players and application/game modifiers who freely give of their knowledge and programming skills. That is what makes this game so very unique.


It is a shame that the creator has chosen to no longer enhance Banished, however I am looking forward to what next will sprout from his garden of ideas.

it is not the people who already said 1 word in the past who have to worry .... it only concerns the "0" posts.

with time, the bot spammer made tons of spam account here. we have around 9000 accounts. these are not us and the download requirement that takes all that. we are maybe 2000 ? maybe 3000 ? i dont even think we have those numbers.

so there is like 6000-7000 spammers accounts that weight in the database. would be good if some sweepings happends.

This game is becoming more and more interesting - it is calm and at the same time fantastic - you can build, build ... many villages and cities. I'm a real person!   @ Big Chihuahua - Never ever delete me, I'd be lost without my banished - I'm here in this forum since 2014 and I immediately fell in love with Banished - now - my wife has joined us and we have a common - avatar.

Hey, @RedKetchup. I could say that I'm like the wind, I come and go, but the truth is closer to laziness. I do drop in and read about once a week and when I've got a Banished game going much more often. Got to keep up with @Abandoned's latest story and check out the latest mods.  Lately I've been watching YouTubers play Dawn of Man, which could be interesting.

Hi, I'm Tonje. Norwegian. 47 y.o. woman with a love for peaceful strategy games. Used to play Settlers 3 many years ago and still play Sid Meier's "Colonization" via DosBox.


Stumbled upon a article about Banished last year and I'm glad I took the time to Google it and find it at Steam (which I had not heard of either). It took even more time to understand the concept of MODS... and here I am.


BTW. I was wondering why my post count said 0 posts (I've commented a few places in the MOD Section) and found the answer in the Announcement Area.


Anyway, I'm happy to have found this site. Sorry you have to deal with spammers.

Captcha was the word I didn't remember. Thank you! Btw. Have you tried Grammarly? www.grammarly.com
It's a free and simple browser app that makes red lines under wonky words and sentences. I've used it since I discovered it a couple of years ago. When you hover over a red line it comes with suggestions (most of the time). I've already used it twice to fix errors in this reply. ;)
Title: Re: Welcome New Members!
Post by: Tonje on February 08, 2019, 02:05:42 AM
RE: 1

That is true. My problem is that I forget, especially seldom used words. LOL
Last April I started writing a story (not published). I use Evernote (free) but want to buy Scrivener.
To really challenge myself, I write in English and believe I've become a lot better... but of course, it's really bad compared to native English speakers.

Anyway, as of now, I just write for myself. Should I ever publish it would need heavy editing. And since I already have enough written for maybe three books... it would be a lot of work for a poor editor. LOL

The way sentences in the English language are built... it's very different from Norwegian and Swedish. I don't know your language, though, so I cannot say how it compares.

Hi, everyone.  I've played Banished almost from Day One and enjoy this game mostly above others in this genre.  I especially enjoy the Colonial Charter mod and now the Red Ketchup mod. 

I lurk more than post on forums but learn so much by reading how others approach the game.

A little bit about myself.  I'm almost 65, love to read, listen to most music genres, and enjoy baking.  I just started to learn how to play "two-hands" piano - I guess I show we're never too old to learn.  Hope to see others around.

welcome new players. @RolandRaiche for ships check the mod download section or run a search for "boats". there are a few mods that KID has done. the pirate mod has some and a decor mod has more.

   once the new players get  a feel for the game,please go down thru both download sections.you will find all kinds of mods to give you ideas or suit different play styles.

Hello! My name is Rachel. I followed a link from the Banished Wiki out of curiosity about mods -- I've never tried modding Banished and I'm very interested in what is available!

Hi, my name is Carolyn and I'm from near Carlisle in UK. I have only recently discovered Banished (where have I been!) and am currently very much in trial and error mode. I desperately need all the help I can get to keep my villagers alive, so hope to learn lots from all the seasoned contributors to this site. The mods look awesome, but trying vanilla mode first just to learn the basics.

Hi, my name is Yang from Western Australia. Wife loves banished and wanted me to "update" her game, thus I'm here in the modding community forums. Looking forward to installing some of these. Thank you!

Hello everyone. I played Banished back when it came out and again in 2016 but I always played vanilla. I've been playing again for a month or so and really enjoying a modded game. I tried RKEC first, then CC and MM, but have circled back to RKEC. Doing Jack and Jill style is my latest obsession.

Hi, neldo!
I also got into habits quickly in the game, and the mods helped to push me out of that by giving me so many other choices! Yes, making good-looking towns is a challenge (at least for my impulsive nature)... but I'm inspired by the galleries where folks do really impressive towns!

Just joined tonight, hello everyone.  :)

I just started Banished two days ago via Steam. I realize Banished has been out for quite a while now but life got in the way so I hadn't played any games in the last few years; but Banished seemed to be a great place to get my gaming on again!

I know I should play Banished (or any new game for that matter) in it's original "vanilla" version until I get comfortable and well acquainted with it and I still plan too but I've always been a big fan of using mods to streamline things (mostly UI pieces etc). When I get more involved with using them I eventually dig into them and start customizing them to my own liking which then leads me to releasing my own amongst friends. I am also big on Excel spreadsheets for gaming, gotta love Excel right?!?!  :D

Anyhow, tonight I also tried signing up with the Black Liquid website so that I could download their Mega Mod 8 but even though I can see I was recently added as a member I am unable to log in because I am stuck on their email verification process; I'm not getting their emails to verify myself and have made several attempts to do so. So I posted on the Steam > Banished > Discussions page seeking a way to contact someone at the Black Liquid website. So while I am waiting to get that issue sorted out I came here because I heard World of Banished also had mods. I will for certain try some of them out after I play the vanilla game for a month or two to get the hang of it and to get familiar with mechanics and UI of the game so that I can notice more easily what is default look and behavior compared to whatever mod I try adding.

Anyways, Banished looks like a great game and I have a very open mind to it so I'm not going to let naysayers put me off of it.

Part of my process for any game I start playing is searching the web for all sorts of game resources such as Fan Sites, Official sites, Wikis etc. Besides World of Banished, Black Liquid, Shining Rock Software and a couple of wikis both named "Banished Wiki" are there any other great and useful and current sites you all can recommend to me? One site I have tried several times to get too because it was recommended a lot was BanishedInfo.com but they are having SSL issues so I cannot connect to their site.

So that's enough for my first "required" post here I think lol  ;D

Thanks in advance for any help you may offer.

Regards,

MarkAnthony

Thanks RedKetchup. I look forward to trying out your mods. :)

EDIT: By the way, is it just me or does the "Quote" button/icon to the far right of someone's post not work? I tried it a few times but couldn't get it to open a reply box with the quoted message automatically inserted at the top of a reply.

I do see a "Quote" icon in the reply's text editor where I can manually copy and paste something but normally clicking a Quote button next to a reply adds the user's name to it as well.  No biggie though, just thought I'd ask in case I need to enable something in the settings somewhere.

Hi everyone.  Another new player here, just registered.

So that's what happened to Banishedinfo!  I got Banished from GOG a couple of months ago, downloaded a few mods from Banishedinfo, but took a break from the game and deleted the mods while housekeeping on my PC.  Coming back to the game last week, I was surprised to find I could no longer even get to the Banishedinfo site...

I'm on Steam for a few other games but don't think I can get those mods, such as the flatten terrain tool, from Steam because I bought the game from GOG.  If the mods aren't on a site like this, I think they ought to be on Nexus, not Steam.  Oh well!
Title: Re: Welcome New Members!
Post by: Artfactial on June 17, 2019, 06:27:31 AM
Welcome!
The Steam Workshop is a convenient tool, but by no means the only source for mods. In fact, many mods hosted here are not available on it.
Have a browse.:)

Hi. I'm Jesse, but in gaming I frequently go by Cian (my middle name) or Abrahms, or variants of both (Cian of Tara, Cian of Eire, MrAbrahms, AbrahmsAdvancedRetailSystems, AbrahmsAdvancedAutomatedRetailSystemsInc, AbrahmsDefenseSystems, LilyAbrahms, etc). I play a wide variety of games, but mainly RPGs, turn-based strategy, first-person and third-person shooters, and adventure games. I also dabble a bit in game development, though I haven't really gotten very far with that apart from writing outlines of about 40 games I want to make.

I've been playing Banished off-and-on for a few years; it's a nice game for relaxing, or when I'm too tired to play other games. I recently came back to it after a year or two break, and got into modding it, and someone recommended I register here. I've released two fairly simple mods so far:

MrAbrahms Climate Extremes: 17 new climates, many of them extremely hot, extremely cold, extremely dry, extremely wet, extremely tornado-y, or extremely mild
MrAbrahms Behavioural Modifications: A few tweaks to citizen AI, making some adjustments for time compression, slightly increasing working and child-bearing age, attempting to reduce incidents of citizens hoarding food while others starve to death, and making roads significantly faster. Unfortunately it also has a bug that causes some citizens to become stuck in out-of-bounds areas on the edges of the map, especially after a major epidemic. I'm working on fixing that, and have managed to reduce it to what I think is a fairly tolerable level, but hope to eventually eliminate it.

Both of those mods are on the Steam Workshop, and Behavioural Modifications is also on Nexus (though I haven't yet updated the version on Nexus).

I'm currently working on a terrain mod and a start condition mod, as well as a big cheaty mod that pretty much takes all the challenge out of the game, but is nice when you just want to relax and build.

Bit about me: I'm currently 43, a photographer and electronic music artist, with multiple disabilities. Used to DJ, have worked as a sound and lighting technician and as a database programmer. I dabble a bit in writing as well, but have only self-published (a sci-fi short story and a work-in-progress walkthrough/guide for Neverwinter Nights). I live in rural Vancouver Island, BC, Canada.

Welcome Jesse.

I am new as well but for me I only started Banished for the first time a bit more than three weeks ago. I used to be a programmer and a modder for games and website designer years ago but my brain has gone to mush in all those years away from doing any of it that I don't think I could even do modding anymore; wish I could though.

I'm all about building spreadsheets for the games I play, so there's that! I took a few years off of gaming, three and a half years roughly; Banished is my game of choice for coming back.  I look forward to seeing your mods here. You should upload them here as well. The people in these forums seem quite friendly too.

Welcome and enjoy,

~MarkAnthony

Thanks, all. Not sure how long this modding will hold my interest, but this looks like a good place to be while I'm at it. I've uploaded my two finished(ish) mods here.

@MarkAnthony There isn't a lot of actual coding involved in most of the modding in Banished, just changing the values of various variables and parameters, and sometimes a bit of black-boxing to figure out what a function actually does with its variables, since we only have access to the data files.

Hello everyone, this is my first post.
I have returned to the world of banished, literally, and I have started to play again after 2 years remembering my first enthusiasm for this great game, I am doing it without mods to relive that first stage and it has been great, I consider myself an apprentice but save one Small crisis of lack of tools and an aging population, which was saved by the arrival of nomads, everything is going well in the town -Bree-, just need to make some adjustments here and there to avoid in the future a shortage of food due to a demographic explosion.
My sincere thanks to the modders who make something great something extraordinary (many new things!). Maybe one day I will try to do something about it, I hope I am not exceeded from the task
I will publish some ideas that I hope reach the ears of some creator, and I will ask some questions that intrigue me.
It's all for the moment, thanks.
P.S. I use Google translator, English is not my language, an apology if something is not understood.

Not exactly a newbie, I have been registered for years.. or was until I tried to visit today .. I guess the cleanup caught me, too.  Anyway, I am back for a visit to see what new mods are around.

I play Banished most every day and am always trying to make it harder to play as after 1941 hours in the game (which is, for anyone interested, one year younger than my birth year!  :o) I pretty much have tried every scenario I can think up.

Good luck to the real newbies .. Banished is easy to learn but very hard to master.

Hi. I used to play Banished off and on for the last couple of years. Then Hurricane Micheal hit and I lost everything.  I've finally gotten another (new to me) computer and have been slowly getting back into my games.  I play mostly solo games as I hate it when other players change things on my bases. lol I have some other medical issues but since they won't kill me I'll just skip them. lol I started to really get into Banished again and found this forum.  I think it will really help me a lot.  I can't mod or do anything technical so i just read and play and sometimes use mods. I will try to donate to help out but I can only do it at the beginning of the month as I am on Social Security disability.  I am glad I found this forum.  Thank you for creating it.

I liked the people doing them so much that I watched their Banished series(es) and got hooked. I also want to give a heartfelt THANK YOU to all the modders of Banished, they really opened things up and made it a fresh new game again.

Hello, fellow Banisheders!

I started playing Banished way back in October/November of 2015.  I was playing constantly all day long.  I used it as a distraction from pain due to a car accident a couple of years prior.  Also as a way to keep my brain active and thinking to help put the puzzle pieces back in order (though, I'm still working on both - memory and pain management, 6 years later - it's as good as it gets... lol).

I really loved Banished!  I would watch/read tutorials, search for good map seeds, and towards when I stopped playing, I had a fully developed map (I think large).  I'm usually not one to listen to the music and sounds from games, (I listen to my own music playlist) but, I really loved this one and I kept it playing.  Now, whenever I think back to my fond memories of the game, I hear the music in my head.  And it makes me want to play again!!!

So... I finally gave into the urges and started playing again a few days ago and am LOVING it!  But, I noticed there were some changes.  In fact, the saddest of all, my favorite map seed is no longer showing up the way it did before.  From what I've read, it had something to do with a game update.  So, I decided to look at mods to give me better maps (flat), playing conditions (easier survival), etc... On Steam's Workshop I found plenty of amazingly talented modders, even some on this forum (RedKetchup, Tom Sawyer, and Discrepancy) and am fangirling it a bit!  :D  I found this forum through a link on one of the mods to download the new beta, so I'm off to download that!  Y'all (modders) are amazing!  Thank you so much for using your brilliant talent and sharing your creations with us!

Now to find the right combinations of mods to give me the fun game play I crave!  I have plenty of time to play and discover!

Cheers!
Dariyah =)

Banished has been on my GOG wishlist for quite awhile. A couple weeks ago it went on sale and I finally decided to purchase it. I fell in love with the game immediately! I restarted a few times and got acquainted with the basic functions and play concepts. Then I found the mods!

I finally have my game modded to my liking, at least for now. It was a slightly rough ride over the last five days or so as I must have started a dozen games or more trying to figure out which mods were doing what, how they were all working together, or not, and if they were mods I wanted to retain in my game or not.

I joined this forum on September 10, mainly to download some mods, and, in the short 3 day time since, I have learned many things from reading throughout its posts. It has helped me troubleshoot some issues, explained some of the game mechanics, and educated me in various game play strategies and modding configurations. Currently, my game has 53 active mods.

Just wanted, mainly, to say thank you! To the modders, keep up the fantastic work! I look forward to delving deep into game play now, with my own Banished tribe!

Thanks for accepting my registration. I'm very new to Banished, just bought the game and already spend a day researching the .rsc files.

I am a retired teacher in programming/scripting in vocational education and often more interested in those aspects of a game than in playing the game itself, ofcourse besides testing.

I already ran into problems creating a first mod, but before asking too many questions in this forum, I want to try and figure it out myself. Learning by trial and error!

The Flying Dutchman.

Hi all,

just registered yesterday as i found quite a few nice resources and downloads on here. I'm an old Banished player having had excessive sessions with the game back in '16. Big fan of games like this, dwarf fortress, embark, foundation, stonehearth. I like the slow pace as its fitting my IRL age.

Hope You can help with the plethora of questions i might come up with regarding all those nice mods.

Thanks for having me!

Hello all! A very special thank you to the modders for your creative work.
Not new to Banished 'been playing for a couple years now.
Also, familiar with modding, not with Banished, primarily with EldarScrolls.
I hadn't published any mods, just enjoyed the learning.

Again, thank you!
   now that the obligatory contract has been fulfilled, download time.

Hi!

Thank you for letting me join, and thank you for all the hard work and creativity. I've made some simple mods for other games, and what I learned is that is that even "simple" takes skill and perseverance.

Sidenote: I've been gaming on computers for close to 40 years now, but my significant other never got into gaming. When we met a few years ago he thought I was odd for being so passionate about them. Turns out he thought all games were Call of Duty or FIFA. It blew his mind that games like Kenshi, Banished or Return of The Obra Dinn exist. It blew his mind even more when I told him about modding. "You mean they do hours and hours of professional level work and give it away?? For free?? Don't the people selling the games object?" His reaction drove home to me how amazing modding culture is. I hope to contribute at some point, not just enjoy the work of others. For now, off to the download section I go!

And thanks for this enormous gigantic vault of mods from all the great moder here.

I found banished a few months ago and really fascinated by it, and after awhile i found BL site and found out cc, then from the guys there, i heard this site. Lol
I know its been a late train, but well.... this site is greattt, its huge...

Mmmm.... in shorts.... thanks guys... this made the game has many faces and theme, and u can actually choose how you want the game to show u its face by changing mods. Once again thanks to the moder, thanks to the community, i learned a lot.

Cheers,
GreedyBugz

I have been playing Banished for just over half a year and I love it! I have roughly 39 hours booked through Steam and just now am realizing there are mods available. I am not a huge computer gamer (or gamer in general) but I dabble a bit especially winter time.

Excited to try different mods and looks like it changes the whole dynamic of the game!

I haven't played in months, but I'm not a new player  - I'm pushing up against 3000 hours. Banished is the game I always come back to, when new games get boring, or heaven forbid, disappoint. The community here has always been generous and supportive. So many creators keep sharing new and wonderful stuff. And welcoming to new players, like no other game community I know. Thank you.

a recommendation to all new players.

     before diving head 1st into the huge list of mods, make a list of what you feel is missing from the vanilla game and want to add to your game. this will help keep you from getting lost. that gives you a good place to start adding mods slowly to make your game better.  after loading and using several hundred mods,i often wonder how did i get here and what were my goals back in the beginning.

Always Nice to be New!

Been playing banished on Steam since the day, but things got stale and the game sat ignored until I noticed all these mods had been developed over the years.

Now I am searching for how to get the most working at once.  It is here that I noticed talk of patches to get the mods to play together.

I think that I have downloaded just about all the mods available and have had great success, but something is conflicting somewhere right?

System crashes have become common now so, it is time to seek the ultimate in stability Banishedwise.

Greetings.

Welcome, all! A good collection of mods is a treasure but to make it work is worth even more.
My advice is - start out small and add a few mods at the time. Easier to find errors that way.
It also gives a more varied experience. Having it all, all the time can be fun but gives no variation.

I'm a new Kiwi from the motherland originally, i'm loving banished at the moment, it's idyllic nature suits me to a t.

Just joined as i came across this forum when looking for solutions to MegaMod problems. Figured i'd skip it for now and just give the red ketchup mod a crack instead.
Thanks for putting this forum together, it looks a lot more active than the Shining Rock forum.

much love

Got this game 3 days ago and Im already obsessed and the modding has begun!! Colonial Charter 1.7 was obviously my first download. Now that I know the game a bit better, Ive been looking around for some more mods that are compatible with CC! Open to suggestions :)
Title: Re: Welcome New Members!
Post by: brads3 on February 29, 2020, 04:05:37 PM
i'd try the RKEC. RED's mod is a good choice after the CC journey.gives many different wild aninmals and start choices. then you can choose different mods for building styles from KID to add to it. the RKEC is less complicated with the production chains,but similar with the step up to lumber and higher grade materials.

Hello guys!!
I'm back!!  8)
How are you?
what have I been missing in these years?
finally I have a pc (laptop) on which turns me Banished !!
how do you advise me to leave?
I tried to get my hands on the mods but they really increased tenfold ..  :-\
How is the point with RedKetchup and CC? to begin with I started with a small and vanilla map but soon I would like to start again big maps plus mods!

Welcome @assobanana76 ! It has been years!

RK comes here now and then but does not mod anything that I know of.
Many other modders have retired and there are a few new in the herd.
I am on an extended break but I check here daily.

It is fun you are coming back! It proves there IS a world out there ;D

here in Italy we are in total quarantine! zombies are out there but they won't catch me !!  >:(
it was a pleasure to reopen Banished .. and find a world of its own!
I was wondering what Banished 1.07 was? I play on Steam ..
can you tell me what are the latest versions of the big mods NMT and CC?
are compatible?
with only these two can I have many small mods that have been included over the years? like canal .. or rock respawn .. or less fog .. or decorative pack .. or small markets .. small carts ..
thanks

Post by: kid1293 on April 17, 2020, 02:40:14 AM
Well, the real gem is probably Red Ketchup's Editor Choice (RKEC)

FULL - http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=543
LIGHT - http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=545
NO MUSIC - http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=544

Containing most of his old mods, updated and trimmed together.
You will maybe not need another large mod if you go with that.
Adding other small mods can work. That is what is discussed most
on the forum. You have a lot to read ;D

Read @brads3 blogs. He tests combining mods with various success. ;)
Read the help pages. People often write about mod problems and
the community tries to solve them.

Hang in there, Italy. It will pass! :)

Good morning,ITALY.thank you KIDD for the mention.always good to be appreciated. ASSO make sure you have banished updated to the latest 1.07. you need build 170190.  the final cut made some changes that the RKEC requires.

    the 1.07 upgrade added more building requirement windows for buildings. before we had only 3 requirements,now we can have 5 i believe it is. it also changes the limit flags.several have been added.most moddders are using them for the same items. check my post on the tips pages for mod order organizing. many 1.06 mods do still work. there are a few exceptions and some ordering to some. if you run into any issues, let us know.

      how is life there? I hear you are opening back up slowly. hopefully it goes good but i do have concerns. there is a blog page about that on here asa well.

Hi!
I've been playing Banished for three? four? years and I've spent most of them playing vanilla (the last months I've been playing with an outdated Colonial Charter mod). It never occured to me that there was such a big modder community also playing. So I'm starting to know all the mods and trying some of them.
I wanted to play with the Mega Mod on, but my computer is too old and too slow and it kept crashing. So for now I'm trying lighter mods, picked one by one.

I'm so happy to be here!

Thanks! I try to cover a lot of City Builders, but have a few games that just tickle my fancy... They don't get a lot of views but I can't stop playing them. I have (probably too many) used mods for Banished almost exclusively since I started playing the Steam Version. I was asked how many achievements i got to in banished.. truth is, I only played the Vanilla version on desktop back in 2014. Once I activated the steam version I went straight to playing mods. Cheers!

Hello Everyone :)

I am a big fan of Banished and have been a member of the World of Banished for long time. Unfortunately my account has been recently de-activated (no clue why), I had to be re-register as a new member.

There are so many fantastic modes to download and I have probably used them all throughout the years. I've been especially admiring work of few individuals - kid1293, DS, EB, RedKetchup and Necora - you are the best! Please, keep doing what you doing.
You have no idea how much joy a discovery of a new mode and than testing it in the game can give, especially after long day at work.

This website has also inspired me to start to learn 3ds Max. I though it won't take me long as I already know how to use AutoCAD and Revit, but it looks like it is quite different. So please wish me luck and hopefully one day I will be posting my own mods in here :)

New member here. Banished is my go to "quiet place" and/or "emotional healing" game when the need arises. Love the vanilla version but I have to say I am intrigued by the modding prospects and am happy to see a community here so long since release. Looking forward to checking things out!

 Welcome @Paulby   Advice for new players is to get a good feel of the vanilla game and how it works before adding mods.  Do some of the challenges included with the game and have fun.  You will find plenty of answers here to any questions you may have.   :)

Hi! Thanks for having me. :)

I've been playing Banished since last year on and off and have had a bit of a love/hate relationship with it (basically I love it until everyone dies and then I throw a tantrum and don't play it for ages!)

I can't help but pick it up again and each time I get a little bit better.

I've been messing about with some of the mods on Steam, mostly houses and buildings and I've got the decorative pack with all the fences and benches etc but I'd really like some nice pretty flowers and things if anyone has any suggestions?

KID has all kinds of decoration mods. EB did some canal deco add on that has RED's flowers but downsized. EB's is the irrigation deco addon.

Hello, I'm joining to check out mods and read up on strategies to tackle achievements. Thank you for this great website.
I've enjoyed blindly playing 250+ hours of vanilla & modded but am looking at tackling all the achievements. I had no idea about the Hospital placement, disease radius, transmission time, etc. Idling in at the hospital, stupid people.
Also great to know that Happiness is almost entirely dependent on the cemetery and everything else is negligible (at least in return on resource investment and time). I need to start building smaller cemeteries sooner to avoid the 1 star happiness a person's whole life.

Hi!  everything good!  nobody I know directly took the virus so I would say very well!  luckily my wife had to change pc for work and so .. here i am back !! 
it was really hard to start again .. only on the sixth attempt (after exterminating 5 generations with hunger and cold) I managed to restore a balance!  What a pain!
I had forgotten everything ... from the consumption of firewood at home, to the consumption of food procapite, to the production of every field, to the proximity of stockpile, the importance of the labourer, etc. ..
this time I wanted to start from a big market (thanks  with 3 different mods) and radial crops.  dedicating a particular angle to the grains (with silos and mill). 
and the first nomads have already arrived !!

I would have tons of questions but unfortunately I partially started working again..
but I will come back from time to time!

Title: Re: Welcome New Members!
Post by: brads3 on June 16, 2020, 11:10:14 AM
welcome back. i see you fixed getting both the vanilla and RK buildings. only way was add CC since CC has different placements to the toolbar.you shouldn't have any issues with CC and the RKEC,less you push the MM.the RKEC above does give RED's grass and more wild animals.
Title: Re: Welcome New Members!
Post by: assobanana76 on June 16, 2020, 12:17:36 PM
maybe I don't explained well.. sorry for my English..
I intend ask for the vanilla market with texture orange, red etc..
I wonder if I can add in some way that market at RK vanilla market and the others..
or if the RK vanilla market replace the real vanilla and I can't obtain both..
I think for example at the mod "Mega market" that enlarge the radius of the vanilla. if I add that the mod enlarge the RK vanilla or the real vanilla..

better late o the party than to not show up at all I suppose, but banished is just what I needed to get me through this quarantine.  I've always liked city builders, but they often get too big too fast.  I like that Banished is a small Town / village builder.  Once I played through on vanilla well I had to have more, and here I am.

Hello guys!

I found Banished on YouTube and watched a few LetsPlays. It got me quite hooked up and I bought the game - since then I'm kind of addicted  ;D
I'm just playing a bit around, trying out various stuff (using MegaMod 8.1) and time flies by ... a very pleasant way to spend time during your holiday (or a quarantine)

Thanks so much to the modders, thanks to their knowledge and efforts the game got really awesome!

Hello, I have been playing Banished since April. I started by playing with the mods to learn how to play the game easier. I uninstalled all the mods because they kept crashing and I wanted to accomplish the achievements. I have all but 4. I have been trying to find and download the Jetty and Bridges mod, I managed to get my hands on it when I first started and I loved it! Any ideas on where to find the mod?
Title: Re: Welcome New Members!
Post by: brads3 on August 07, 2020, 08:47:29 AM
hello,welcome to banished. which jetty set are you looking for? there are many from different modders. there has also been the upgrade to 1.07 banished. some of the earlier dock mods may have been upgraded. you might find an old link hidden somewhere. i suggest going thru the download sections,the new 1.07 mod section and the others. you can try this site also- https://banishedinfo.com/mods/browse
or the CC blackliquid site-https://www.blackliquidsoftware.com/forum/?_fromLogin=1. there are other sites out there.

as for why you had crashes with the mods,try checking the mod order. it can be critical to some mods.hopefully by now,someone explained the exit completely rule that does cause 90% of the crashes when you 1st install a new mod. if you plan to play with different mods to see what you will like i recommend looking into the mod manager. you should be able to find that with a quick search.

http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?topic=1790.0 this will help you set up the order.

Hello, I'm new here, but have been playing Banished for a couple years off and on. I found this site via a Facebook group, and am very interested in checking out mods.

I'm a retired research coordinator who finds this challenging and enjoying because of all the balls you have to keep in the air. I retired a bit early because we moved across the country so my husband could follow his dreams.

I played this a lot with no input from others and developed some flawed assumptions, so I am excited to listen to everyone's theories. (One herdsman per pasture? Holy cow! And it works a dream!)

Anyway, glad to find you all.

Hi guys!!
I'm back .. and this time .. really .. and definitely !!
Finally I have a new pc that will allow me to play!
I chose an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 PC-Gaming • GeForce GTX1050Ti 4GB • 1000GB HDD • 16GB RAM • Windows 10.
A whole other world !!
And immediately I laid the first stone of "Las Vegans"! :)
I went back to the Steam workshop and the Download section here looking for all the lost mods!
I restarted from RedKetchup and its "RK Editor's Choice 1.3.1 - Full".
Then the ones I remembered that improve the game experience like "No fog", "Banished UI Professions", "Translucent 2.0".
Then I tried to cheat a little bit .. "Rocks respawn" and "Mine and Quarry unlimited" ..
And immediately .. crash !!! wow !!
Apparently something conflicts with RK.
I tried to remove "Unlimited" and for now everything is fine ..
I also added "DS Fences and decorations" and "DS Small Village Storage"
From KID instead I took his decorations .. people, animals and boats.
In the mods screen I have quite a few red mods but I hope they don't crash afterwards.
In particular that of RK conflicts with those of DS and KID (which, however, except the "village storage" are almost all decorative mods) .. fingers crossed!
You know how much I love the markets !! :)
And the bigger and more decorated they are, the more they give me satisfaction !!
For this I have already set the footprint for the vanilla market, flanked by that of RK and DS's "Village storage".
In short, a little soft restart ..
But finally a restart !!
I would like to try my latest project with a large market in the center and around it, spiral, crops and orchards and small single family farms.
Initially it will not be vegans because with only corn and sorghum it is certain death for everyone .. but slowly that is the goal.
And even if I keep the animals it will be without fences and, above all, without a butcher! :)
I can tell you right away that I lost my magic touch a bit .. and so it was an uphill start with a continuous run-up to problems .. in particular the collection of iron and stones!
But I am confident that I will be able to overcome these initial crises unscathed and be able to post some nice pictures of "Las Vegans" and their markets!
On tiptoe I plan to fully return to the forum with a more active participation considering that, partially, I was able to return to the office, and thanks to the Coronavirus I am alone all day considering that the spaces cannot accommodate all colleagues!
So what about? if not .. see you soon!!

Welcome!

I highly recommend backing your mods up to another drive as well. I have a ton of mods in my Banished Steam folder but know from experience that you can lose it all. Plus stuff you downloaded years ago you may not be able to get again and/or forget where you grabbd it from. So I keep a Banished folder on my backup drive just in case. :)

I had a lot of .pkm files in the old folders but of many of them I didn't remember what they were and above all what was the compatibility between them and if there were more recent versions.
This is why I started from the vague memories I had and from the 3 most prolific modders I remembered.
The problem is that RK has made several versions of his and with "RK Editor's Choice 1.3.1 - Full" I hope I have got the latest and most complete version .. of him I also got the beautiful "grain silos" that always goes well fine with the windmill.
The problem with KID is that he has created so much that I am lost .. :)
The thing that worries me most is that almost all of their "mods" are apparently red and incompatible .. I hope it is only due to the fact that they touch the same items.
But I really don't understand how the 3 mods of KID (animals, people and boats) which are purely decorative can conflict with those of RK ..

Most of the modders have put their mods inside a community menu. From there on you can find them under each modders personal submenu. That is why they show conflicting because community menu file is added to each mod under it. But they work ok with each other for the most part. Some are start options specific so you need to play a bit with the mod order.

Thanks!
We all right. In Italy there was only a "hard" lockdown that lasted a couple of months.
For the rest, the State has decided to divide us into regions that limited or freed up travel and daily life based on the contagion indexes of the individual region, blocking the movement between regions.
Fortunately, none of us were affected by the virus and we were able to discover and take advantage of smart working from home.
Fortunately for me, it coincided with the move to a new home and left me free time for all the last finishes of a building renovation that lasted months due to the blockade of construction sites during the lockdown.
Now it seems that the data is better and for two days a week I am forced to go back to the office but we are still few.
You? Everything good?

I put RK on top, then the "mods" that fix fog, transparency etc ..
then those of DS relating to storage and finally those of KID decorative.
Seems to work for now !! But I'm just starting out, I've just put down essential vanilla crops, houses and services (woodcutter, forester etc).
I hope I don't crash when I add some RK buildings.
I got over the crash that completely stuck my PC by eliminating the "unlimited crash and quarry" .. shame !! :)
It was the only trick I allowed myself to use because I always hated the footprint that cannot be removed when they are exhausted!

Welcome back @assobanana76. Always nice to see another "oldie".

I think I can give you some good news.

The mines in RKEd are not unlimited but upgradeable and last that way long. You can also delete them and use the levelling tool to reclaim the ground if you don´t want them on the first spot anymore. So no need for "cheat mods".

In RKEd flax and cotton grow wild in the woods. You can pick them manually or use a herbalist. So you can make vegan clothing right from the start if you want to. You will need one more step in the tailor shop; making cloth and linen but it works just fine.

As Gatherer says, red in the mod list doesn´t mean incompatibility. Most newer mods work fine together but I would be a bit careful with your old favourites, especially if they aren´t made for this version of Banished. Load order may be important in some cases, here you need to test and if something doesn´t work, try it another way or ask here. There are expert for such things on this site.

If you want to learn more about Kids often very lovely mods you can check Abandons blogs. She always tests a few mods at the time, so you can get a good picture of what you want to use there.

Welcome back @assobanana76. Always nice to see another "oldie".

I think I can give you some good news.

The mines in RKEd are not unlimited but upgradeable and last that way long. You can also delete them and use the levelling tool to reclaim the ground if you don´t want them on the first spot anymore. So no need for "cheat mods".

In RKEd flax and cotton grow wild in the woods. You can pick them manually or use a herbalist. So you can make vegan clothing right from the start if you want to. You will need one more step in the tailor shop; making cloth and linen but it works just fine.

As Gatherer says, red in the mod list doesn´t mean incompatibility. Most newer mods work fine together but I would be a bit careful with your old favourites, especially if they aren´t made for this version of Banished. Load order may be important in some cases, here you need to test and if something doesn´t work, try it another way or ask here. There are expert for such things on this site.

If you want to learn more about Kids often very lovely mods you can check Abandons blogs. She always tests a few mods at the time, so you can get a good picture of what you want to use there.

thanks for the "oldie"  ;D

very good for quarries and mines !!
really great news!

as far as linen and cotton are concerned, I had actually noticed that lately. although I don't know how long people can survive the winter covered with cotton and linen. but I'll try anyway!

for now no problem even if I realized, looking at my old screenshots on Steam, that I forgot some mods that I really liked .. but surely adding them in the race would create problems. shame..

where can I find the blog you described to me?

thank you!

You can add mods along the way, after you´ve started a game. I always do. Maybe not major mods like CC, never tried that but I never have problems adding smaller mods. And my guess is that if there are problems, these would happen also if I loaded them from the start.

Unfortunately/luckily there´s not one blog from Abandoned, it´s a lot of blogs. Look in the blog section and you will find them.

considering that I am in the 5th year I am seriously considering starting all over by adding CC from the beginning.
In this case, you recommend RK first and then CC, right?
And what is the latest version of CC? On Steam I saw a CC: Journey .. is it the latest version?
thanks!

yes the latest CC is the journey. it is the only 1 upgraded to 1.07,well except the MM.make sure you have the latest 1.07 upgrade to Banished. older versions of CC will work but they will use the old limit flags. the items won't work between older and newer mods,hoever.

the RKEC has many advantages. more wild animals and lots of other goodies too. food processors will increase food outputs since RED balanced things  differently than the CC. depending on what you plan to build, you might try the RKEC and later add the CC with it.

I finally opted for a few essential mods and in this order:
- mods that modify structural parts like NoFog and Translucent
- @RedKetchup EC
- CC: Journey
- mods that add stalls and other market and storage
- @Discrepancy Jetty and bridges
- @kid1293 mod deco which add people, animals, boats

No crashes for now, but I'm only in my second year and I've only really built the essentials.
Fingers crossed for the future also because the mod list is practically all red except the first mods ..

be careful when building townhalls or trade posts. save the game when you lay these out. there have been some crashes when clicking on these before the construction is completed.  RED made a patch that has helped fix this with NECORA's mods. however,i have seen reports of it with CC. i did have 1 earlier today when i clicked ona trade post. i did have RED's patch so was quite unexpected and wiped out the entire year.

does this only happen if I click on them while they are under construction?  if i wait for them to finish building them don't crash even without RK pacth?
And where can I found this patch? Is it a mod here in download section?
Title: Re: Welcome New Members!
Post by: brads3 on February 11, 2021, 03:53:32 PM
the patch does not work all the time. i did have a recent crash. if you let the construction finish, then you can avoid the crashes.

Thank you for registering me! I was away from the game for a few years, then I broke my wrist and decided to spend my after surgery time playing Banished. I had to redownload all my old mods, and found a bunch of new ones while i was at it.

Thank you so much to RedKetchup, kid, EB, kralyerg and all the others who have worked so hard on mods. You've given the game much depth and replayability.  Your creativity and problem-solving are impressive. Chapeau!

Word of advice to anyone new(ish), backup your mods somewhere. There's so many out there laying all over the place. I back them up on a separate external drive just in case, but just putting them in an additional folder besides the Banished one works too.

Hello. I'm Fantozzi. But you may call me Fantozzi if you want.

Fantozzi is a somtimes clumpsy and even tragic but very funny film character performed by italian actor Paolo Villaggio. He's very talented in causing trouble or getting into trouble until one fine day he finally can retire as he becomes a pensioner:
