I remember making plans of villages like 200x200 tiles big or so in spreadsheets including underground layers and making sure that every detail is planned well but because there was never enough time I ended up making them smaller and smaller so in the end I never finished anything big because of the effort needed and ended up living in villages that were like 50x50 tiles and I never had enough space to store my stuff
and what do you think? is it a good idea to build a big well planned village or is it better to start with something small?
I also liked to live alone because it was me who planned how to build something, of course there was always some flaw that could be improved
or sometimes I ended up preparing this 200x200 area but then I only built like a great hall 2 cabins and some farms with animals and plants but since it took a lot of time I abandoned it and let myself have a break from the game
