Plan your next Clanfolk session
Our independent guide helps you observe Clanfolk’s core systems without relying on hidden shortcuts. By noting how family traits, seasonal rhythms, crafting progress, trade dynamics, and disaster readiness interrelate, you can make informed decisions that keep your settlement thriving across generations.
01 / THE GUIDE
Trait‑Task Matching
Record each family member’s primary trait and the tasks they excel at. Compare this list to daily schedules and adjust assignments to see if overall productivity improves over a week.
- Match tasks to each member’s strongest trait to improve efficiency.
- Plan rest periods before winter to keep the family well‑fed and rested.
02 / THE GUIDE
Seasonal Resource Log
Create a simple table tracking which resources appear each season. Use the log to plan harvests and storage, noting any shortages that arise during the transition to winter.
- Gather and store perishable foods before the first heavy rain.
- Build adequate shelter for livestock before winter arrives.
03 / THE GUIDE
Crafting Chain Mapping
Sketch the progression from raw material to finished product. Identify bottlenecks where a missing material slows development and experiment with reallocating labor.
- Gather a variety of raw materials early to broaden future crafting options.
- Assign skilled family members to new crafting stations as soon as they become available.
04 / THE GUIDE
Trade Reputation Tracker
Note the types of goods each visiting clan offers and how your reputation affects their variety. Test small changes in trade decisions to see how they influence future shipments.
- Maintain good relations with several clans to diversify trade options.
- Offer shelter to passing travelers, as particularly happy guests might extend their stay or pay good coin.
05 / THE GUIDE
Disaster Preparedness Drill
Simulate a sudden winter by halting food gathering for a few days. Measure how existing stockpiles, clothing, and fire sources sustain the clan, then adjust storage levels accordingly.
- Stockpile furs and warm clothing before the first frost.
- Keep a fire source ready to melt ice and dry wet supplies.
