farms

[discombobulated1]

i only put 1 down but watched a video seeing someone putting 2 per patch is that worth it 1 usually fills the hole field with crops so why have 2. Is slightly faster gathering worth 2 more vills or am i missing something?

Under normal circumstances, a single farm cannot collect the full harvest from an entire field, so you can put an extra farm down if you want to maximize. I say "under normal circumstances" in that it is possible to have enough harvest speed bonuses to make it that a single farm is enough.

Didn't notice they never collected it all just see the whole field was planted ok then thanks for the info bud

The harvesting usually not fast enough with 2 manpower, if 1 farm has around 14-17 tiles.

anyone know if the woodsmans hut or w.e it's called can handle the full patch with just one building tho? it's got like 4 workers, seems like it should be able to.

Summer has 4 minutes. harvesting crystalized dew takes a full minute. so if you're lucky with breaks, one worker will harvest 3 fields of dew -> 12 harvests total

does the resin take less time to harvest?

tho from what I can tell the average patch it about 11 tiles anyways unless you get lucky, so it should work regardless?

A minor thing that might be relevant is that normal gather camp can harvest from farm yield of the appropriate type. I *think* you would need the larger camps but am not 100% certain on that.

That is interesting.

Sorry, I had it mixed up. This is incorrect. I deleted my original post

However, what is correct is that any farm building can gather for any other farm building. So you can use the crystallized few farm building to collect for your plantation, for example.

yes, resin takes 30 seconds to harvest rather than dews 60 (but if I take foresters hut, which is already not that common, I take it for the dew).

most patches are anywhere from 11-16 tiles, that's true

On every farm building you can click on it, and it tells you exactly the amount of time it takes for 1 patch and how much yield you get from one patch, and do the math from there.

Just like any normal production \building you can also uncheck a crop and disable them from ever making it again. If I get Forester Hut's I almost ALWAYS disable the Resin (or maybe just get it up to about 30 in the warehouse), because it has so little use outside traders or glade events but the Dew is ridiculously more valuable.

Yields can be important if you haven't looked at them before - for instance, a Small Farm only produces 3 vegetables per patch, but 6 grain per patch. If you desperately need food early but don't have a place to use the grain, obviously you want to go full vegetables, if you have a good enough network set up for flour, you may want to go full grain. It changes

if you want food you just want a ranch tho it seems...

seems kinda just OP that is can freely convert food to cloth and cloth mats to food.

Ranch may be a good option for longer games, but if you aim for a quick win, it will hinder you. It will not help getting advanced items and it is slow, but it does help solve food problems.

you can use it to turn grain into leather that you can then either turn into containers for things like wine/beer or pickled goods, besides being just unlimited leather for scrolls and cloth that can be turned into coats or w.e else.

ranch is just an OP conversion building really.

edit: and as an added bonus it can turn extra plant fiber into meat... so a plantation creates berries leather and meat instead of just berries and fiber.

I used to love ranch, but to be fair, each game I picked it I was struggling a bit. There are better players than me who can give advice, but from my experience (and what I read from others) this building is not high on my list at the moment. It has uses of course, sometimes it will save your butt, othertimes is will give you tbis one resource you need to snowball, but I think most often it will give you only a small benefit.

But hey, if it works for you thats great. Maybe you know how to use the ranch better than I do. :)
