Chapter 14


  There were 2 valleys to the west of town, one directly west and one to the northwest.  The one to the northwest had a small pond and an even smaller one with ducks, duck eggs, mushrooms, wild oats, and a walnut tree.  Another fall hedgerow had corn, sunseeds, and hazelnuts, and branches for firewood.   We planned to build a nut roaster in that area.  Two large herds of deer were spotted in the area, and we knew how much river boatman like to hunt and fish when not away from home on their trade routes.  We had good fishing in the east and would have good hunting in the west.  We built 2 workplace log cabins and a workplace hunting tower up in that northwest area.





  We replaced the steppingstones with a wooden bridge from town to the west central area.  We built a log cabin general store and a stockpile by the bridge, and a log cabin rooming house with a 2-story workplace cabin next to it.  The steppingstones downstream were also replaced with a wooden bridge. 

  The northwest area did soon get its nut roaster with another log cabin behind it.  A workplace shed was built by the stockpile so the walnuts and other foods from the hedgerows would be close by.  Across from the nut roaster a campfire was built with a large spit for roasting venison. 



  Workers and visitors enjoyed being outside here in fall; the weather was pleasantly warm, and there were many old oak trees in both fall areas that displayed beautiful fall colors for a short time each year; our winters always came too early.

Hello @Jewelz

I agree, the 2 story little houses are so wonderful, i use them every time in every map i do
Do you have both set ?

I am presenly very occupied with the Wonder series i am doing presently... sure at some point. just not now.
Please remind me later, i can strongly considare to add more

Thanks you for reaching me

 

Hi RK, so glad to see you back!
My all-time favorite modded houses in Banished are your colorful two story houses. I don't actually use any of the unusual colors, but the blacks and browns get a lot of use!

So I'm wondering... if you get so inspired, please make a few more in that style! Different sizes and shapes?
I make some maps where I try to stay very medieval/tudor looking with all my buildings. Your multi-story buildings are often just too big for that type of map. (I use those when I have a Nobleman area!)

Hello all,
I'm back in Bannieland and THRILLED with all the new mods! Kid's new farmyards are my favorite! I still just had the original 5-6. Also fairyland? I think it is? SO CUTE!

One thing I realize I'm always trying to make happen is putting deco/farm patches near my diagonal houses. Would it be possible to create diagonal Farmyards, chicken coops, tiny sheds, log piles, flower beds, etc?

The other thing that I feel takes from my enjoyment is building fencing. It's slow, and I often mess up and have to start over!

My wish is for like, 3 standard sizes of front yard fencing you could just drop in front of a house, like 5 x 3 with three sides, 4x2 with 3 sides, etc.

(Like a U so that it's open at the house part.)

Happy building, everyone!

What a beautiful building! Bravo!

Chapter 13


  The summer days were longer, and the weather so much warmer; there were a lot more nice days and more time to have some fun.  There were more boats out on the lake, but more visitors were sailing rather than fishing; the fishing was not as good as it was in spring.  The beach and playground were fun and very popular, but not quite enough.



  We decided to build a small festival grounds on the other side of the small stream.  There was a small pond there but plenty of room for a music stage, a puppet show, and a wheel of fortune complete with prizes and a prize tent.  A potted lemon tree provided the makings for a some refreshing lemonade.  There were plenty of tables, and benches and sun-warmed grass to sit upon.  The younger children enjoyed the puppet shows during the day, but the young adults gathered at the music stage on the warm summer evenings.  The children and young adults from town enjoyed the festival grounds as much as the visitors did.



 The longer and warmer days were also good for building, and we wasted no time getting a good start on the fall area west of town; the outside summer activities would lose their appeal as the days got shorter and cooler.

woah super proud /flex
