I love that farming involves the entire community - a history lesson built into the game. I think the developer has tried hard to create a simulation that is based on history, and this is early access so some quirks, but just a great way to relearn lessons from the past.

I was there when he discovered Tab. Gave me a good idea of what a dude looked like when he first discovered fire.
Thanks for sharing.

I absolutely never hit like on any video ever but the fact that you gave what you consider to be your biggest take away within 30 seconds instead waiting till the ucking last 30 seconds is mind blowing

[douglaspurcell]

apparently a lot of wheat species do grow through the winter so it may be a feature and not a bug

[thetaikonaut]

My settlement got too big and I’m having food shortages now 😢. Pro tip: take out bandit camps immediately for the money and conquer more land for the resources.

[historyismetal]

I subbed the moment you told me the main points of the video at the beginning. I will listen to the rest now!

[LukaMajhenic]

I would just like to add this. As a farmer myself we plant/seed wheat, barley before winter so the plants can grow throu the winter and we then harvest it the next year. This games is realistic when it comes to farming, wheat, barley, rye should be planted before winter season (oct, nov) and grow throu out the winter months.

[JKamohoalii]

You got me glazing by getting to the point so quickly, you deserve the world brother

[richardsylvester]

You mention crop rotation. Does that mean you have to dig up your carrotts and replant them upside down?

[VelcroKittie]

On my current play through, once October hits, you lose 90% of your yield if you haven't harvested it. I literally went from a field with about 100 wheat to a field with 10 wheat. Bearing this in mind, it probably makes sense to just put auto on and make sure you have 1 - 2 families in the Farm house.

[Illinaro]

I love how you give the gist at the beginning. A lot like a proper essay does. THANK YOU!

Good vid.
Manor Lords has very similar mechanics to the game 'Banished'.
In that game it was a good idea to have 'specialised' storage spaces and as an example for Manor Lords you could have a specialised Granary next to your Windmill and Oven which accepts only grain, flour and bread for a centralised access point to these things and so it's near to the production chain requirements and end product.

[kjjacobson]

Wouldn't it be a good idea to use multiple farmhouses so that you could have one ox per field that you need prepared for planting? So if you have 5 fields that you need plowed, then you would have 5 farmhouses with oxen. Then you wouldn't have to plow any of the fields by hand. Maybe this is what you were already suggesting? I can't think of any mechanic that would prevent someone from using one ox per field. It shouldn't take too long to acquire a decent amount of oxen. I feel like with proper farmhouse positioning, assigning oxen appropriately, and using the limit work area mechanics, that it would be feasible to use this method to speed up plowing significantly. Thanks for the great content on Manor Lords! Keep up the great work producing excellent content!

Just FYI - although I expect ItalSpar will probably know already, but I've seen a few videos now and nobody seems to have done it, so for everone else - you can change the name of your towns.
Just click the Policy button, and then click on your town name.

I've been making my 350 peeps skip a meal because food was getting rough, this helps a lot thanks :D

[CallsignArchangel]

😊3 sections with a farmhouse each. each section has 3-4 sections with 1 fallow and 2-3 up and running, wheat/rye, barley, flax, fallow. by having 3-4 farmhouses you get more oxes so faster work.

1 morgen denotes the acreage that could be furrowed in a morning's time by a man behind an ox or horse dragging a single-bladed plough. Typically 1/2 to 2 1/2 acres.

[Dakarn]

According to my searches, 1 Morgen, in the European aspect, is different depending on country. Dutch Morgens of land were typically 2 acres, or 0.8 hectares.

[Altaree]

I love how the dev made fertility accessible to the color blind with the '+' scale.

[duckytuna]

Awesome video, it’s extremely helpful for quite literally anybody. I appreciate you not dragging out all the vital information to the end to boost watch time and such
