hacienda farm production?

[DrwHem]

these farms are nice and small, which i like, but do they have the same production as a normal farm of the same crop?

They do produce the same amount per interval, and have the same upkeep costs as conventional farms, but their *far* smaller field sizes make them incredibly space efficient compared to conventional farms. Not to mention that you can produce crops that you would normally have to import.

Only the farm building, itself, has to be inside the Hazienda's influence radius, by the way, so creatively puzzling with fields can allow you to build a whole lot of farms per Hacienda.

Not only have they smaller fields for same yields

They can also be affected by
Silo
Dung
Trade union items

Making them veary strong

Another advantage: You can easily change the crop that a hacienda farm produces.

So why should I still build a normal city. It seems I can get really far with just a Hazienda.

[Chaosium]

Because hacienda houses are pretty bad, the extra density they provide doesn't compensate the amount of extra production you need to supply all of their needs

Also, 2023 thread

It depends, really.
Hacienda farms are straight-up better than normal farms.

Hacienda houses are worse than normal houses, since you need additional production for them.

Hacienda breweries are usually more efficient than standard brewery/rum distillery (not schnapps distillery), but also reduces attractiveness of an island.

This is my first play after years not playing and also my first with the hacienda. It really confused me especially with the hacienda farms. It feels like a cheat to be able to grow old world crops and just ignore fertility. And at the same time the farm need much less space. Where I had to import stuff from the old world I now just grow it in the new world with much less space needed.
I wonder if I now should grow old world crops in the new world and import it to the old world 😱😎. I thought there must be a downside but it does not seem so.

I know it's from 2023 but why would it be better to ask the same question in a new discussion?
