Trying to build my farm technology, but

[fep906]

I havent built the Henhouse, Pigsty, (Got rid of the donkey shelter), and havent built the Goosehouse either.. or food storage 2.. Are these necessary to build my farm technolgy points?..

[Morri]

They are not needed. Any type of farming that either you or your villagers do, will slowly increase your farming technology. I find that it goes up pretty fast when you plow and fertilize fields or tresh a lot of grains.

I hate all that farming stuff. Is there another way?. I just want the horse stable.. my farming technology is 999, How else can I build it without dealing with farming?

[Morri]

Farming and breeding animals is the only way. If you don't wanna do it yourself; let your villagers do it.

[fep906]

ok, thanks.

Inchworm... inchworm... measuring... the marigolds. OMG... this farming tech is creeping a long.

Maybe I need more fields... maybe I need to build a field, fertilize and plow it, destroy it, rebuild and so on and so on... .

By the time I get the stables-tech, my Manor will be so advanced, populous (to the third generation) with all the quests done, there will be no need to use leave the Manor and use the horses which would have come in VERY handy...

I started with chickens since thought it would do villagers good with different food. White bread instead of just flatbread. I have 5 fields at 10x2 and buying that much fertilizers was quite expensive so set up pigs and made my own fertilizers with manure. Tried out goose but they did not produce as much eggs as chicken so demolished. Never bothered with donkeys. Tried out goats but found out that milk was not needed for other thing than chesse. Sold donkeys and replaced with sheeps.

This is (with all due respect) pure nonsense.

To build farm tech rapidly, buy or produce manure and make fertiliser in the barn use it or sell it.
Get clay and straw and make adobe.
Of course you can farm your fields, hoe, fertilise, sow and harvest.

Thanks for the constructive response.

Also, bstangeby, appreciate the insight from your journey.

Their map is really really small compared to other games. 2k maps are nothing. So, to make it seem bigger, they limit your ability to travel. I agree that the horse should not be so far out. Technically, everything should be available if you can afford it (IMHO). Another thing is thier wagoneers that are 10x too expensive. What a useless feature that is LOL!

Always make use of workers. Especially for fertilizing and sowing seeds. In early game I would recommend harvesting yourself (double harvest perk is very early and harvesting is quick unless you have giant fields, at which point it is no longer early game)

Pick lots of berries in the spring, let them rot on the ground, makes a ton of fertiliser for the summer, or pick in summer for to make fertiliser over the winter. Spent lots of nights in the barn at the beginning to do this and advanced fairly quickly and had enough for additional fields for several years.

Why drop it on the ground when you can use a compost bin instead?

[CrazyMom]

It is what I did beginning of 2021 to get experience and fertiliser, at that time, if I remember correctly, there was no compost bin.
