Starting a Village?

[Riou1231]

So currently, my friend and I have started a little settlement just between the two of us.

Now I want to start a village, what are import things that a village should have so that the villagers do not run out of things to do?

Farming, Fishing(was helpful but sucks now.), finding a good mine(or in this case asking people with mines already what they want to trade for mine supplies or if you're lucky finding a mine that isn't claimed yet using the Prospecting skills.). maintenence of base(things like walls/boats/really everything break down over a very short period of time.). If it's only the two of you, trust me. You'll ALWAYS have something to do. Hunting/leatherworking is also quite important especially at the beginning of the game. I would make your first target for making something out of leather to be backpacks. They help you to hold extra stuff. Planting a lot of trees around you as well is quite helpful so you don't have to go deep into the forest to get trees to cut down to build things. This is just some stuff but should get you more then started. Get your exploring skill up to find WWW's and hang them on Drying Frames or if you find enough string build a herb table and it'll take you very little time for the WWW's to turn into actual seeds to use for your farm. Uh yeah, read all this and g'luck If you're interested in having a place to chat with your villagers and other villages I made an independent villages forum where you can have your own personal private board to chat with members. If this sounds interesting to you just send me a PM

To place a village claim and found it, you need one person with Lawspeaking, and four other people with Yeomanry.

If you happen to get your hands on a mine, one of you should go full nature for farming, and the other full industry to double your chances of getting bars out of ore.

One of the first things you should do is try to find a clay hotspot, this is a place on a river or lake where you can pick up more than 1 clay and it's higher than quality 10. if you get a high enough clay spot it can be a valuable trade commodity, lots of people are interested in buying really good quality clay, good luck
