Starting Tips:
--------------
-=Village Location=-
First of: Always build your main village around the center on onbu’s back. 
the main use for this is for a toxic cloud event. The infected plants spawn 
everywhere and if your village is too far in the front or back your people 
will not clear all of them fast enough leading to a patch that gets too 
infected. Also don’t build the decontamination centers they aren’t necessary 
and you can use the resources better for something else. Gradually build 
dirt roads tothe places where you are cutting a big patch of wood and berries 
or mining stone, helps transporting it back and later with a toxic cloud.

-=When A Toxic Cloud Hits=-
Disable any non necessary building (wood cutter, stone cutter, mushroom farm,
 onbu horn, research/scavenger/herbfarm if it looks bad/you feel you’re too 
slow. look for the infected trees and bushes, don’t forget to inspect your 
farms, set them to harvest and priority 3. check onbus entire back again in 
a minute if something seems to be spreading in case you missed one. it helps 
having non dense forests so if you feel you can spare the manpower cut some 
lines everywhere to lighten it up before the storm starts.

-=Mega Infection=-
A giant unclearable patch isn’t necessarily run ending. i had the 3rd of back 
being a single giant infection for half the demo in one run and it’s not 
really a problem. as soon as you feel you can’t clear everything to get rid 
of the infection completely start cutting all the plants between the infection 
and your village. after that it spreads very slowly. you can try removing i 
with decontamination buildings but you will need 8-10 people free.

-=Different Biomes + Dealing With Mega Infection=-
Different biomes have different toxicity/infection rates and population. the 
jungle biome has the most food but also the highest infection rate and te 
lowest amoun of people. the mountains have low food, medium infection, lots 
of stone and iron and the highest amount of people. if you want more people 
go there. suprisingly the desert can also be useful. it has no food/water 
generation, medium amount of people BUT it has low infection rate, meaning 
people get less sick and the infection spreads more slowly. if you want to 
get rid of that giant infection patch this is the place. depending on your 
situation you can use your herb farmers and mushroom farmers as decontaminatior 
too since you want your water getting used for your food producing farms.

-=Buildings=-
You don’t want too many people in buildings. only put one in the kitchen, 
stone cutter and wood cutter unless you have a bunch of resources (+20 
exception with raw food) and really want a building or processed food is 
getting low but usually one person will yield enough for whatever you need.

-=Onbu Feeding=-
This also goes for the onbu feeding. use 2 people on mushrooms no person in 
cooking and disable the feeding trebuchet. once you have 40-60 mushrooms 
disable your mushroom farm and enable the onbu kitchen. once that is processed 
disable the kitchen. that will last for quite a while and when onbu gets hungry 
enable the trebuchet, feed him and disable it again. start the mushroom farm 
again if you have no or one food ball left. build all these things near the 
head+ a small stockpile if you want (disable every resource in the stockpile 
except mushrooms and food ball).

-=How Many People Should I Have?=-
Get as many people as you can. i know this will seem counter intuitive. haven’t 
i been struggling with food with 20-30 people and now i should get more? yes 
the best run i had with 50 people (lucky with pickups) and food becomes oddly 
less of an issue. i had over 100 food with no blood pudding and steadily 
growing (and over 1000 with it more on that later) so how is it possible?

-=Build Order=-
When you start build 8 tents, leave room for 4 more, then build a research 
building (one is honestly enough people say use 2 for the 150% but thats 2 
people working at 50% capacity and if you need those then it’s more of a luxury. 
like i used one building most of the time and 2 if all my food resources were 
good) pick the kitchen, build a wood and stone cutter, build the kitchen as 
soon as you can. one thing i haven’t noticed is you can switch what food is 
getting cooked in my first playthrough. switch it berries-musli and gather 
the bushes near your village.

You can put two people in the kitchen at the start since you want them too 
only eat the musli, switch to 1 after a while or clear all the berries and 
disable the kitchen. build a beet farm and put 2-3 people in. build 1-2 
workers huts, sent 5 to general, the other 2 to general/transport (transport 
will bring resources lying around to the base, water from the wells to the 
water towers otherwise they stay mostly empty) once you have around 20-30 
people build a SECOND beet farm and put 2-3 people in. some say berry bush 
farms are great since you don’t need water them but they are abysmal in terms 
of food production compared to a farm+ kitchen. while you struggle with 3 on 
a farm and 3 on a berry farm, you will bleed beet soup out of your nose if 
you just build that second farm instead. if your good on wood and stone harvest 
the berrie bushes and turn it into musli for more food variety.

I just left a great berry spot (around 13-14 bushes in reach) open for when i 
had 50 people since you’ll need 3 food types and that’s the only way right 
now if you don’t want blood pudding. you can just use 1 kitchen and switch to 
what raw food you currently have more or build a 2nd out of convenience and 
have one on musi and one on beet soup., switching the musli kitchen to soup 
when you have no berries and lots of raw beets. if you can make sure your 
kitchen changes enough raw food into cooked food this will be enough.

-=Warehouse=-
Leaviing space for a ware house is a nice to have. it should be central to 
the village near the herb farm, wood cutter, stone cutter, doctor and onbu 
doctor. disable mushrooms and onbu food

-=Pantries=-
1 or 2 is enough they should be near kitchens and food farms.

-=How Big Should My Farms Be And How Much Water?
If you are in the jungle biome beet and wheat farms with 3 people will need 
around 32 squares 45-50 if you switch to desert mountains (but honestly the 
smaller ones are fine, just expand if you feel food could get tough). build 
1 or 2 pantries once you start getting surpluses, you want 3 air wells in 
your village near the farms and water towers and one air well/water tower 
next to your mushroom farm.

-=Doctors+Herbs=-
Despite the game trying to nudge you to get it it’s not really that important. 
if you look in the large map you sometimes see people on the road that will 
join you. there are always 2 that are scripted, the first batch are just free 
people, the second one will be sick people. tats when you will need a doctor. 
after you build your first farm (or 2nd) build the herb farm. only one is 
necessary in the beginning but you can put two if you want a bigger stockpile. 
research the doctors hut at latest when you see that 2nd group on the road, 
put 1-2 doctors in and once everyone is cured disable the doctors building 
again. you only need permanent doctors once you have gone through your first 
spore cloud, before that your people won’t get sick naturally.

-=Research=-
Keep an eye out when research finishes in the log in the bottom left or if 
you notice yellow flags there. the game will always recommend you 2 technologies, 
but you can open the big technology tree and pick what you want. there is no 
super strict way how you go about, whatever you feel you need is usually right.

I personally like getting stone huts after the kitchen, it makes expanding 
your people so much more convenient and build 2 stone huts in the 2 free spots 
you left open the gradually replace the tents if no building necessarily needs 
it, then research the horn (but don’t build it) and build the scavenger hut. 
once you have 20-30 people i like to research wheat and switch one of the 2 
farsm to wheat production for the food variety bonus. build the mill once i 
have some wheat grown (it will take a while since they will clear all the 
beet patches first) and build the bakery once i have a bit of flower and 
disable it if no flower is available.

-=Pet Command=-
Once you have bee through your first spore cloud onbu will get sick and need 
treatment at some point. you will need to research the onbu doctor (comes 
after regular doctor. after that you can get the pet command tech and let me 
tell you it. is. amazing. it will increase trust and you can spam it after 2 
to 3rounds onbu will listen to basically every commands. meaning you can tell 
onbu to lay around and wait. you can let him stay at one spot pretty much 
permanently, pet him 1 or 2 times and when he stands up just tell him t lay 
down again. so you can look for a nice jungle/mountain spot and just park 
there with no worries. research the entire tech tree, build stone roads in 
your entire village and from the back to the top, fill your entire stockpile 
with all the wood stone and food and herbs.

Fill 1000 water into water towers making deserts meaningless. you can get 
pretty much infinite food fast if you build a 3rd farm (or 1 berry farm) 
build a blood pump (or 4) and suck onbu dry to 1% health and have 300 buckets 
of food that can be turned into 750 blood puddings. onbus health will 
regenerate if he is in good shap (not hungry low pioson and not tired) one 
blood pump won’t hurt him that much, just suck hi until he has 95% stop the 
machine and he will heal pretty quick. alternatively if you have lots of 
herbs (if you have 50 ppl you can have 3 or even 6 on making herbs) 20 herbs 
will give onbu back 20% health. that is a ginormous amount of food with very 
little herbs.

I also learned you can’t accidentaly kill him by over-sucking so yay? you 
will run out of available stone so will need the deep drill unfortunately 
but it hurts onbu way less than the pump (or you can decide to move again 
and scavenge on the map, wait a couple of days so stone spawns on the mud) 
it’s important you don’t forget to pet onbu whenever the command finishes 
otherwise onbu will really not like you.
