How to Secure

The villagers will move the goods to a more secured location when they are available. But you can as well build a fence to keep at least big animals away. Other players use fields /creates to their advantage to attract animals to be able to catch or hunt them.

There is a step where you create a garden field.

Note: A gate is needed so the people can get in and out of the fenced area. You can build the fence directly at the food crate. But I personally would not focus too much on the starting food pile, as you will get quickly a lot more stocks if you build your production chains.

Easy start

A good starting point is to rush the production of a fireplace, which will make it possible to have workers haul all the starting food into a more secure storage area.

To do this, you’ll need one or two foresters stump buildings, which will let you gather the wood required.

While this is happening, your other idle citizens can plant garden beds and wheat fields using the bark, roots and sprouts resources before they’re all eaten by hungry sheep.

This will save most of your starting resources from getting pilfered, but even if it does happen, don’t stress too much. The amount you get at the start isn’t hard to replace within a few days of appropriate work.

Fences are still a good idea eventually. Stray cows and deer can ruin your gardens if you let them. My strategy is to place fence gates at the top of each cliff path. This can block off large chunks of the map from migrating large animals, although this also prevents you exploiting them for their resources. But protecting the most sensitive areas, such as your farms, is a good idea.
