How to Make Your Villagers Happy!
Basic Needs
You need two main buildings to keep your villagers happy. First, you must build a food storage building and always keep food inside it for your villagers to eat. Second, you need a material storage building that must always have wood stored inside for your villagers to use.
When you have both buildings and keep them filled with supplies, your villagers will stay at 50% happiness. This is enough to keep them living in your village. But if you’re missing either one of the storage buildings, or if you run out of supplies inside them, your villagers will become unhappy very quickly. They will leave your village within 2-3 days if you don’t fix the problem.
Remember: Just make sure both storage buildings exist and stay filled, and your villagers won’t leave.
Note:
- Villagers can only consume food and wood when they are in the storage buildings. They cannot take them out of boxes or lying around.
- It is not necessary to assign workers to the storage buildings as shop keepers. Right now shop keepers don´t do any work.
- Your wife counts as a villager, too. She, too, needs the storage buildings to keep her supplied and happy.
50% happiness is enough to make your villagers stay and work, so there is no need to raise villager happiness further. Productivity seems to depend on skill level, not on happiness. Still, villagers can become more happy than that and it´s fun to see smiling faces.
Houses
Upgrading houses with clay timber (crafted in barn from clay and straw) raises happiness of all inhabitants by 3%. If the house needs repair, happiness drops by 1%.
Families
If you assign one man and one woman to a house, after a while they will start liking each other and their happiness rises by 5%.
- Then the woman has a baby and both parents get an additional 5% happiness.
- (Your wife gets the same 5% bonus when marrying you plus 5% when having a child.)
- Houses have room for 4 people, so villagers can have a second child and become 5% more happy again.
- Added up, that´s plus 15% happiness for parents of 2 children.
- (Don´t know about grandchildren yet.)
Alcohol?
- The tier 3 tavern has a barrel, but crafting is not yet implemented.
