A Small Farm

Overview

Farming is a renewable source of raw resources. Outside of Marshlands, it is generally more reliable than gathering.

One of the best ways to provide food to feed your villagers, is to farm. Using Small Farm, Plantation, Herb Garden or Forester's Hut, Viceroys can farm the following resources on Farm Fields:

How to Place a Farm

In order to farm, Viceroys need two things:

Once these two things are acquired, Viceroys should first build the farming building and then navigate to the Construct Food Production.png icon, click on it, and select "Farm Field" option.

Creating Farm Fields
Adding a Farming Building

On the left we can the "Farm Fields" option selected. Navigate to the patch of Fertile Soil, and click and drag to convert it to Farm Fields. Your builders will then construct a Farm Field on top of every selected tile of Fertile Soil.

On the right, we navigate back to the Construct Food Production.png icon and select the farm building, in this example, a Small Farm is used. Place the farming building next to the Farm Fields, making sure that the bounds of the farming building encompass as many of the Farm Fields as possible. Sometimes, a single farming building is not going to be able to cover all of the Farm Fields near it. This is especially common before you acquire the First Dawn Headquarters 12 upgrade.

Seasons and Farming

When the seasons change, so does the tasks your farmers perform on the farms.

  • During Drizzle: Farmers plant crops.
  • During Clearance: Farmers harvest crops.
  • During the Storm: Farmers plow the fields, adding a 10% chance of double yields.

Each plowed field has a sparkling effect that lasts till end of Drizzle. If something was planted in a plowed field, the effect will last till end of Clearance instead.

Maximizing Production

Depending on Hearth and Warehouse placement, farmer carrying capacity, and internal storage capacity, one farmer can only plant 5-6 Farm Field tiles and harvest 4-5, it is thus advisable to add a second farm building to any field with more than 10 workable tiles and employ a 3rd farmer to work the land during Drizzle and Clearance season.

Humans Humans have the Farming Farming specialization, meaning when they plant crops, they add an additional 10% chance of double yields. Farming yields are calculated during planting, so Viceroys can use Humans Humans for planting and any other species for the rest of the seasons.

For best possible yields on your farms, assign Humans Humans, have the Farming Fields plowed by the start of Drizzle, have a Hearth and a Small Warehouse in the immediate vicinity of the farm, a carrying capacity bonus like Harpies Harpies Firekeeper's Light as a Feather, and provide each farmer with their own farming building to maximize internal storage available. Planting and especially harvesting speed bonuses, for example Humans Humans' level 2 Housing Upgrade, will also have a major effect.

Other Uses for Fertile Soil

Once the Greenhouse and Clay Pit are unlocked, Viceroys can place them on Fertile Soil to start producing goods such as Mushrooms Mushrooms, Herbs Herbs, Clay Clay and Reed Reed. Growing Vegetables Vegetables is possible in the Greenhouse when the "Moss Broccoli Seeds" Cornerstone is acquired. The Clay Pit can also produce Stone Stone with the "Steel Mattocks" Cornerstone.
