On easier you can get away with leaving people home. Early game: Entire village in a single expedition gathering equipment from encounters. Crafting is focused on tools for builders and gatherers and spears for combat and research points. Only buildings created are resource auto-producers. Mid game: Village large enough to support a permanent population of crafters and gatherers. Expedition returns periodically to drop off higer-tier resources collected in encounters. Totem, crafting workshop, and other necessary buildings created with low-tier materials. Late game: Large enough population to support a village, a main expedition, and one or more dedicated gathering expeditions to gather highest-tier resources in bulk. Auto-resource buildings are shitcanned for good, useful buildings are torn down and rebuilt with better materials for higher bonuses. Blessed paths are built to expand the village gathering radius. An NPC encampment is built post-main-storyline where you can trade a handful of crappy party members like scavengers and giant rats for a single high-quality unit. Also, and this is not something I discovered on my own, if you mouse over the class icon for a warrior you'll get a popup describing the two-handed sword bonus. Demihumans have their own bonuses, especially elves. -A party encumbrance meter showing how much shit I can carry. 
Food, fuel, and encumbrance are in the top right corner just under the god portrait. There actually is visual representation of resources on the map. You can see lots of coal deposits to the north and west, some iron next to the party, and some string to the south. However I think they realized late in development that it was too subtle then implemented the clumsy resource icon overlay toggle. Seems like you need party members with enough combined gathering to harvest the resource in 1 turn, or else you're sticking around on that spot for another turn. Hence the need for gathering tools and wooden rings. When it comes to divvying out gathering skill, it's best to have one or two characters with maxed out skill than to spread it out. -Any indication on what using rare materials for crafting will get you. Fuck this Dark Souls guessing discovery shit. I can't even find a number on how much food a pasture will give me. You can't gauge shit when it comes to making a call on building stuff. Plug the resources into the crafting screen, you'll have a preview of the resulting item and what its stats will be. The only stat that's random is the bonus you get from constructing an item with a gem. How do you break stuff down? I can only do it right on the screen when your first discover the stuff, before you click on the prompt to take it. 
In the inventory screen at the far left, "drop here to dismantle." You should almost never dismantle from the post-battle screen unless you're in the late game and know for a fact the items are too low-level to be of use. So you never gather any rare materials that are outside your town? Isn't it a huge RNG swing to start near them? Why not just keep starting new games until you get a town next to one? Do you ever get more than one town? In the early game you can gather them in passing, but lairs and encounters are more efficient. Note that while you need eyes on wandering monsters, lairs and ruins are always visible in the fog of war. High tier materials require more gathering points so if you start a game with only dark wood for fuel in range of your city you actually start at a disadvantage. Also, only materials within one tier of your researched level are visible on the map. One game I climbed up the leather ladder and in the late game discovered a dragon corpse smack dab next to my village. |
