What is "Tiny Yurts"?
Connect the yurts to the farms!
How to Play "Tiny Yurts"
- Touch or left click and drag to build paths between your yurts and farms to keep the animals happy!
- You get points for your total number of settlers (2x your number of yurts), plus a point for each animal.
- Fullscreen is highly recommended for mobile.
Tips
- You can build paths while the game is paused, if you need a little more time to think.
- You can delete the path that comes with the starting farm!
- Paths cannot be build over water, so to connect a fish farm you have to join a path to the end of the stepping stones.
- Distance is the most important factor when determining how well a yurt can cope with a farms demands.
- You don't have to connect every yurt!
- You can send your settlers through other farms. If the farm is of a different type, it won't interfere at all, however if it's a farm of the same type, the settlers are more likely to head there than travel through it to the further away one.
- Your settlers may get stuck at farms if they have no way home. You'll have to re-build a path for them to get back to their own yurt before they can help out again.
- Diagonal paths use fewer path tiles to go a further distance, but because they are further, it will take settlers longer to get to their destinations for the same number of grid-cells traversed.
- Farms have a "needyness" based on the animal type, times the number of animals minus 1, times a subtle difficulty-over-time curve. For example a farm with two adult oxen and one baby, will have 2 × [ox demand number] × [difficulty scaling].
- Farms issue capacity is based of the total number of adults, times 3. For example a farm with two adult oxen and one baby, will have 2 (adults) × 3 = 6 capacity, which is represented by the two starting (!) and then 4 segments in the pop-up issue indicator. This means you have to deal with farms with only two adults quickly!
