so i pretty much havnt stopped playing this for the last two weeks. im on all but 1 island and have a pop of 4200, and am working my way towards the final few techs. if my obsession isnt obvious, let me say i have loved every moment of this :)
a few ideas of things I think would be cool to see:
QOL ability to build new house types over old, in the same manner as with roads
a science (after limestone roads maybe) that upgrades bridges to be able to span medium depth water as a way to make the next logistics improvement by connecting islands.
there are a few items that aren't stored in any warehouses, and as such can not be transported easily, (if i want set up a small industry somewhere away from the farm or mine say) wool and bronze being two examples

How many berry patches do you need to not have your citizens starve? I have four berry buildings in the starter island surrounded on all sides by berries and I still had someone die of starvation in the middle of a berry patch.

Are there any guides for this game posted to help with map layout to advance further in game? I'm at ~600 population and feel like I'm out of space to grow; feels like i have barely enough food, but barely enough resource space to give up for berries/crops/livestock etc. I'm not great with these strategic builder games, but am targeting all the badges...

(cont) Granaries are especially inefficient, as basically the only resource they store that you'd ever want them to store (or transport elsewhere) is barley. All the others can and should be consumed in manufacturing on location.

Overall I enjoy the game, but the inability to toggle storing certain resources on/off in storage buildings (markets) makes it difficult to set up efficient production lines. Half or more of my inputs end up getting siphoned off into other regions where they'll never get used.

No red part when the screen is stuck in black. but it's only the map not the other button. And i can still click on the different element,

on the big island i have a lot of people who go on the left beach reach the end and come back without any reason it is normal ?
Could you check CTRL+SHIFT+I - is there anything red there, any errors? If so, could you please send them to me, I can use it to debug the situation and hopefully fix it forever for everyone :)

@redcrystal what help me was adding garages to the workshops that underperformed (usually those spent 50% of the time gathering ressources)

Create event in option like pest; (where people die if the house are too close, or loccust etc will add something to the game and create different type of structure not only one.
their is different way to use chocolate ? because without consumtion no research

This game is great! I'm having problems with the flour mill/bread making however. Currently got seven flour mills and they're barely producing enough flour to keep the 1 bakery busy? Been like that for 24 hours.
I've expanded into all the territories I can, but running out of room. I guess big ships will allow to cross the sea/ocean, but haven't got there yet lol.
My only suggestion is a 'find next' so for example when you click on wood collector, you can then click 'next' and be taken to the next location etc.

@ehammo1 a possible reason could be, that you maybe tried connecting the road from the side. It only connects to the bridge if you place the road straight below the first bridge-square, so the bridge and path are in line.

My bulders arent currently bulding bridges or stairs, i have all the materials needed, tools, briks, houses in range of site etc but they just refuse to build those two things? How can I fix it?

Great game... though I would stand in line with the pro tutorial crowd. Also, I'd love a production overview somewhere (statistic of goods per minute/hour or so).
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I think at the beginning it would be a little easier to have a small tutorial, or have the help tell you what buttons do. Granted, that might just because the 2 of my 3 braincells are on vacation, and the other one just re-existed a week ago.

At least be honest and don't imply you that it's just one browser you don't support. It only support Chromium based browsers and nothing else (I tried both Firefox and Safari and it refused to run in either one). Shame, 1 star for contributing to the monoculture of web browser engines we're heading to again (it was terrible when it was IE, let's not try a de facto rendering engine monopoly again).
I will do my best to explain the reasoning behind browser support decisions. Unfortunately there is massive difference on javascript and canvas performance on chromium VS firefox/safari. I hope they improve their engines. To be clear though, this performance difference has no impact on everyday browsing, but does have effect when things get bigger. (assumption: for a javascript based game that runs in the browser, no plugins). I am sad you feel this way that solo hobby game developers are to be blamed on browsers just being behind. It is like I should not buy the fastest car, because otherwise there will be a monopoly. This is for the browser businesses to fix. I will continously test newer versions of firefox and safari though to see if things have improved and take this into account when developing next games. I discovered firefox/safari issue quite late in the project.

I really messed that up. I tried replacing all of my roads at once with stone roads and the next thing I knew there were only 30 people left alive. Managed to salvage it but lost quite a bit of progress. Oops.

I have one silly question it is usefull to remove all free thinking and memory stone when we have the new level (i have le library)

While I am enjoying this game, is it possible to color code the skeletons so we can see how they died? For instance, the normal, white skeleton could be for old age, but starvation could be red, dehydration could be blue, and black could be from exhaustion. It'd make it a little easier to see where I'm failing my people.

Ok I don't know what the expansion office is doing, I have shipped everything except for water, I only need 20 more water, that expansion office has stored 19 out of 20 water and it's refusing to take more, even if there's a FULL water source next to it, and ships waiting for shipping with enough workers, idk what to do I think it's glitched.

Is anyone having issue using the Archimedes Screw pipes?
My factory is made, pipes produced, water pump made... How do i get the water to the buildings now? I've placed the Water Pipes but they don't seem to be working.
Please tell me more - you mean on research papers? As I am somewhat blind to things that are "confusing", it would really help if you would say "what information?"

@willwardley, the expansion office only takes resources if the farm has 33%+ capacity filled with berries, so try to reduce the number of berry farms to increase their efficiency so that they will fill to max capacity and it will be shipped.

The game is a lot better than you imagine by reading Idle in its name! It's more like a State of Survival. Of course with worse graphics, but that doesn't bother playing in the long run. Also without clans, wars and so on which is exactly what some are looking for. Great job! One of the best games on Kong for me.

OK, any advice/tips? I have expansion offices and colonies with all resources shipped except berries. I have large berry farms next to all the expansio offices, but they just won't move them there. Every other resource is completed now, but this is holding it back. Surely I don't just need to demolish every house and food market nearby to try to force the output somewhere?

i figured out that you can sort of increase your max research by building multiple research buildings...IF you have enough people to operate them all.
you would need FOUR to get enough points to PROPERLY increase your max!

i have not figured out how to increase max research point things... currently stuck because i cant upgrade or research anything because i dont have a high enough max... but otherwise... i love it so far

I didn't know you were still making games. The sheer amount of time I sank into Factory Idle.... here's hoping you're working on Factory Idle 2!

How do you raise the max amount of research papers (or whatever its called)? I'm at 25/25 for all 3 types, but all the research options left need 50 or even more per type.
yeah, there are tabs on upgrades menu. Could it be it?
But there is no "advanced bread production currently, except horse mill which is huge buff to mills

Thanks for the tip on libraries! I thought I had tried that in the past and they didn't use them but they certainly use them now! Quick question: is it intentional that Construction Markets don't take Iron or Bronze? If so, why? Could you put a different Market into the game if that's really how you want things to be? It's making it kind of obnoxious to make Pipes when my Bronze Smelters have to be so close to my Mining Offices and my Pipe Factory has to be close to my Smelters.
