Nicest farm land for casual play

[casey080 (Nightfangs)]

Hi Everyone!

I've spend a lot of time on this game, but it's time for a fresh, third playthrough.
This time, I really want to take it slow and not optimize too much.
I'll build paths and fences around the farm, even when I don't really need them, and so on.
The big question is, which farm layout would you recommend for me?
I'm looking for a small beautiful farm in the wilderness, with a lot of nice landscape. Even if farmland is more limited there, I'm totally okay with it and will work around it the best I can.

Thanks for your advise!

Cheers,
Casey

Take the Forest-Farm then. That pretty much fits your description.

Indeed, if you're going to pick a map based on aesthetics, you should take a look at all of them and see what looks good to you.

I think the four alternate maps all look way better than the default farm, but unfortunately only the Forest farm provides benefits that compensate for the lost farmland. The Hill and Wilderness farms are still quite functional, mind you, they're just worse.

The River farm is awful to play in. Most wasted space, least farm space, very few paths to move around... it's strictly for people who like harvesting a million crab traps every day. It should have had a river in one corner, a pond in another, a bit of beach on the west side of the map...

We don't speak of Riverlands. People complain that they have to deal with a mediocre mini-quarry at Hilltop, but they're not the ones sacrificing space just to catch Sunfish and Smallmouth Bass quicker. They don't know pain.

On the bright side, at least it looks nice.

I think hilltop and riverlands where easy to play and the layout was beautiful :D. Its a bit challeging at first but worth the effort.
