Coral Forest

The Coral Forest

Overview

Strategy

• Coral Forest doesn't have any nodes for  Flour input. That makes Small Farm a good choice if you wish to sustainably produce  Flour for  Biscuits,  Pie, or  Pack of Trade Goods. The only options for  Flour input outside of Farming and Greenhouses are bonus yields from  Stone,  Reed, and big  Vegetables nodes.
• Coral Forest is the only biome with  Coal veins being the only veins on the map. That makes it relatively easy to set up a  Coal Mine, effortlessly solving all potential fuel issues.
• Accessible  Coal also makes fuel-based Recipes like  Jerky,  Incense, and  Purging Fire easier to sustain.
• Inspiring Pressure can provide a powerful boost to your production output when you are working on a Hostility-raising event or simply assign a lot of woodcutters.
• Finding a patch of trees with  Crystalized Dew bonus yields enables you to solve some Glade Events, build Fox Housing, as well as produce some  Pipes or  Tools.
• Stockpiling some  Incense from Crimsonreach trees can help you solve Glade Events later.
