I make my settlement somewhere nestled in a u-shaped area “inside” a mountain range. Namely, at the foot of the mountain, but with a pseudo protective barrier which encompasses some of my village. I’ll wager I’d build on a slope up the mountain, and reinforce the opening of the U, when all things are possible later on.

I totally used to use the ‘1’ command in my keyboard, but that somehow got removed, so now I’m using the shortcut for the harvest button.

Berries first, build some houses (or rooms rather), carpenter, beds etc., and lastly I make a farmer when berries are but a meagre afterthought in the face of far larger gains to be had.

Both wheat and turnips, but I tend to tip towards the former more. Haven’t experimented with both enough to make any educated decisions.

Sadly, haven’t gotten there yet, due to time restrictions.
