Clanfolk Beginner’s Tips and Tricks

これは進行中の作業です!!

I will obviously improve the formatting, add screenshots and so on. And well, fill in the empty sections 🙂

Keyboard Controls

Quick reference for keyboard controls. Blorf said key remapping is planned of course.

• WASD / arrow keys: pan the camera. ZQSD also works (azerty keyboards).
• R: Rotate an object before placing it.
• V: Stop the selected entity (アイテム, 物体, 青写真, animal or Clanfolk).
• バツ: Break down the selected item or object (or dump contents in the case of bowls, jugs and buckets).
• C: Crate the selected object and move it somewhere else. Right click if you just want to crate it.
• P: Priority Boost the selected entity.
• B: に行く Blueprint (make a copy of the selected item/object).Skills menu:
• T: move selected skill to the Top
• G: disable selected skill
• B: move selected skill to the Bottom

Temperature Management and Winter

• On top of natural decay, certain food items degrade faster because of heat.
• Food is completely preserved below 0°C.
• Water Jugs take half a day to freeze when below 0°C
• Ice Jugs take half a day to thaw when above 0°C (it is much faster to melt it in cooking fires/firplaces/kitchens, but it costs branches)
• While thawing, Ice Jugs also cool down the room they’re in.
• Natural Mountain Roofs cool down rooms, depending on the number of mountain roof tiles. This is good for making an efficient freezer, but don’t leave them in other rooms or your Clanfolk will be cold.
• Room temperature is capped at 25°C, regardless of outside temperature, except if there’s an open vent to the outside.
• For Clothing, see the Clothing section below.

Storage and Hauling

• Stockpiles are just designated areas for putting items on the ground. Each item it can hold can be individually allowed/disallowed by clicking on it in the list of allowed items.
• Items are hidden from the list of allowed items until discovered. When they are, they’re added to the list and automatically allowed.
• Clicking on “Toggle All Off” 初め, then enabling a few items, will prevent newly discovered items from being automatically allowed in it.
• Dedicated storage objects (found in Objects > ストレージ) are at generally 6 times more space efficient than stockpiles. One notable exception is the Wardrobe, which can hold 32 clothing items on 3 タイル (以上 10 times more space efficient).
• “Active” crafting stations have an Auto Haul toggle (see the Crafting section below for details about active and passive stations). 有効な場合, Clanfolk will haul items they produced immediately after the item is done, instead of dropping it on the floor (which would potentially force another Clanfolk to come and haul it, wasting a bit of time).
• Storage objects or stockpiles will auto stack items produced by crafting stations, if they are 1 または 2 tiles away from it (this doesn’t work through walls). This is especially useful for passive crafting stations such as the charcoal kiln or bloomery.
• Flammable blockers prevent flammable items from being dropped on the designated tiles. This is useful around cooking fires, トーチ, anything that throws sparks.
• Clanfolk will transfer items from one storage to another if the latter has a higher priority; しかし, this itself is a low priority hauling task, and regular hauling will always be done first.

動物

• The heat overlay is helpful to better spot wild animals on the map.
• Foxes and Bunnies can be hunted with a Simple Bow (Work Zone/Work Bench).
• Bunnies can also be caught with a Snare (Work Zone/Work Bench). After Snare Kits are crafted, they must be placed via the Objects > Hunting menu.
• Hunters will skin animals (Butcher Block) and reset Snares automatically.
• Bunnies will flee humans and get to their rabbit holes.They will also hide there at night or when it’s raining. All rabbit holes are connected to each other and they can travel through them like wormholes.
• Cows can be milked using a Milking Bucket, crafted at the Smithy. Milk takes half a day to fill a cow’s udder.
• Nanny Goats can also be milked. Milk takes 1 day to fill a nanny goat’s udder.
• Hens lay (unfertilized) Eggs even without a Rooster. If a Rooster is there, it may lay Fertilized Eggs. Fertilized Eggs hatch into Chick after 2 日, and Hens cannot lay another one until it does.
• Sheep Wool can be sheared using Shears, crafted at the Smithy. Wool takes 8 成長する日々.
• Pigs don’t produce anything and are just meat factories (quoting Blorf 🙂 ). Sows can give birth to a litter of up to 4 piglets.
• All animals can be slaughtered for meat using an Axe. Chickens don’t require the axe.
• Animal poop can be collected using a Manure Basket (Work Zone/Work Bench). Full manure baskets can be processed at the Compost to produce Fertilizer.

衣類

• Clanfolk will wear and remove their clothes automatically depending on temperature and weather. They will try to remove their clothes near Clothes Baskets or Wardrobes.
• Linen cools them down and is suited for summer. Other materials provide warmth.
• Sack Cloth is the most basic material and is uncomfortable, so they reduce Mood. This may be preferable to freezing to death.
• Each type of clothing (shirt, tunic, 等) is on a different layer. You cannot have both a wool hat and a fur hat, but you can have a Sack Cloth Shirt, a Wool Tunic and a Fur Cloak for example.
• Plaid doesn’t provide any warmth, and instead provides +250 気分 (which translates into +2.5% Work Speed and XP Gain)

Door Locks and Item/Object Ownership

• ドア (except the Straw Curtain) have locks which can be set to restrict who can use them. Animals and Clanfolk can only pass through a door which lock level is equal or lower than theirs. デフォルトでは, the Branch Barn Door, Branch Gate and Straw Curtain are set to “動物”, while other doors are set to “ロック解除済み”. Regular doors can be set to allow Animals too if needed.
• 逆に, all Clanfolk have keys which can be set to any level (humans of course cannot be restricted down to the “動物” レベル).
• The levels are, from lowest to highest:
  • “動物” (everything can get through) – Animals are permanently set to this level
  • “ロック解除済み” (all humans allowed) – Traders are permanently set to this level
  • “Guests” (all humans except Traders) – Guests are initially set to this level, but it can be lowered
  • “労働者” (all humans except Traders and Guests) – Workers are initially set to this level, but it can be lowered
  • 3 levels of “Family Only”.
• の 3 “Family Only” levels allow assigning different areas to certain family members. デフォルトでは, all family members are set to the highest level.
• Items and Objects can be owned by Clanfolk. This means they’ll be the only one allowed to use it. This can be done in two ways:
  • Select the item or object, 次にクリックします “Toggle Owner” to the top left of its info card, then click on the desired Clanfolk.
  • Select the Clanfolk, 次に、をクリックします “Set Owner” to the bottom right of their info card, then click on the desired item or object.
• Double Beds can have two owners if it’s a couple. You only need to set ownership on one of the Clanfolk, and the other one will share that double bed.
