Kid - Animal Shed Plus V2.11

[Nilla]

Nice add on, Kid. The meadow is one of my favourite features in RKEd. Fits very good in this mod, too.

But you should take a look at the balancing, it's not so nice.

I had one thatch patch and one big meadow. I've been taken a lot of nomads and everyone in this area is uneducated, so the output might be a bit higher with educated workers but anyway:

The patch gave about 120 thatch with 2 workers, the large meadow with 3 workers 160. About the same amount for each worker, no matter how large the area is. The only reason to build a large meadow would be its beauty and that's fine with me.

But the big problem; these 5 workers produce together 280 thatch. That's just enough to feed the goat tended by 1 worker. It produced 480 milk last year with uneducated workers. For that you need 240 thatch. That's less than 100 food for each worker involved in this.

If I had grown corn on a normal field (or your corn patch) one farmer could easily have produced the double amount to feed goats tended by 2 workers. I would have preferred that it's rather an advantage to produce hay for the animals.

How could this be solved?

The easiest way is if you need less hey to feed the animals. With 2 thatch for 16 milk you would need 60 thatch. That's about the production of one worker. More reasonable but it would still be less profitable to use thatch than farmed corn and only give an average of 240 ford for each worker involved. If you use 1 thatch for 16 milk, 1 thatch farmer could produce hay for goats tended by 2 herdsman. Now we are in the same range as with corn.

Of course, you could also increase the production of thatch to the same level for one worker as for corn. That would give the same effect.

Sorry for complaining but I think you want to see your mods good balanced, too.

I want them balanced but now I am so tired I can not think straight.

Jag ska tänka på det! Ha det bra

@kid1293 I did another test, on a test map with Fair climate

Year 1 - Goat shed 2 workers =352 milk, Patch 2 workers =196 thatch,  Meadow 2 workers 0 thatch (logs, stone, flax, branches)

Year 2 - Goat shed 1 worker = 400 milk,  Patch 1 worker = 123 thatch,  Meadow 2 workers 114 thatch (logs, stone +)

Year 3 - Goat shed 1 worker = 576 milk,  Patch 1 worker = 138 thatch,  Meadow 2 workers 169 thatch (logs +) surplus 28 thatch


Production increase would seem over powered for small patch - actually I think 2 workers on small patch is too many, 2 workers to care for a few goats    Slight decrease in required thatch and wild oats in animal sheds not a bad idea.  Previous story I did a lot of micromanaging feeding thatch and wild oats to animals.

It seems like you would like a bit less input in the Sheds.
I have uploaded a new version where I halved most of the required food.
Now it will be easier to use the Sheds from the beginning.
I left 2 workers in the Patch. (I simply forgot to change it)

Thanks @Nilla for another look at the numbers.  I think input reduction will be good.  I agree meadow with flowers is beautiful, I first started getting flowers after 3 years of growth.  Kid Wildlife Starts has some choices with grass - the thatch that spawns on the map.

Hi @taniu - I hope all is well and that spring will come soon

[taniu]

@kid1293 We have changeable weather, it rains or snows once, my wife and I are still struggling with the effects of the flu, but it's much better, I hope you're okay? - we wait in line for vaccination against COVID - 19. I miss spring sunny weather, I love green trees, colorful flowers added to the last mod - Animal Shed Plus and other decorative mods you released. We are glad to have a soul mate in you, even though we live far apart. Cheers

@RedKetchup not only created beautiful flowers, but also improved the added new texture of fruit trees, crops, grass, forest trees and plants, created a beautiful and fantastic Editor where we can see a really beautiful forest, many .... beautiful mods and decorative mods . Me and my wife are very grateful for all the work @ Redketchup by the way - wish he had finished the last mod about Egypt - beautiful buildings and decorations but we consider @ Kedketchup a good friend, guardian who helps and advises on various problems with the game Banished.
