Topic	I'm trying to play Banished and I'm really bad at it. Any tips?

I actually used trading posts for most of the storage, since they have way more capacity than any (maybe even 2-3) barns. Hmmm, I've never thought to use trading posts that way, you can specify what and how much you want stored in them, but it's a little more labour intensive. However, I don't care about the storage capacity of markets, they exist to make sure everybody has fair access to all the supplies they need, otherwise when your community gets larger you'll end up with some houses overstocked on some things and completely without others. You'll get people starving even though there's plenty of food, because they live too far away from the barns where it's stored, but the inventory of their homes are completely full up with way more firewood than they need because they live next to the woodcutter. They can't go get more food in that situation until they use up some of that firewood to make space in their home inventory, which leads to deaths from starvation. Another tip I'll give you is to be selective about when you let nomads join your town. They often bring diseases with them, and the unplanned-for increase in population can lead to shortages in supplies and housing down the line, because they also cause an increase in population growth from the extra adult couples having children once they've settled in houses. Don't feel like you need to accept them unless you know for sure you want the extra people. I often put them to work in the quarries and mines because those are higher mortality professions. Generally speaking, you need to always be planning for expansion and make sure you're already prepared to meet the needs of the additional people, or else you'll build yourself into a food shortage. When your village gets big, if your food supplies get low before you build more production, you're too late and people are gonna starve. --- "I'm the straightest guy on this board.
