farm and workload

[Gustavous II]

What would you guys recommend on how many workers per square regarding the farm? How many squares can one farmer take on his own?

I suggest keeping an eye on the workload stat of the farm and always keep it just below 100%.
If you can keep it at 95%, that's ideal in my opinion.
Usually, a few less workers than the default set works for me.

I really doesn't understand how workload works? The more i add there the less workload but how can i see how effective the farm are? Is there any way to do that?

Yes, workload means how much work are the workers having to do, if it's low, it means they are wasting time. If it's 100% it might mean they have more work than they can handle. That's why 95% is perfect. (actually, 99% would be perfect).

You can check how productive your farm is by hovering over the produce icon in your farm.

You can increase productivity by doing those things, and keeping a workload of 95% you are ensuring that it's being kept at its peak.

Damn thanks for the help and the fast response! Really helped me out Last question, is it worth investing in Animal farm? Or does the hunting produce way over enough`?

You are welcome, man! Hunting is better, but wild animals are a depletable resource. Also, animal farms are much less efficient than farms, but it might be the only reliable way to get meat for dwarves and leather if wild animals are depleted (besides trading, of course).
