Lazy Farming

I was asked to share my Farm, hopefully it helps someone be as lazy as me. :D

This is more of a proof of concept than anything else, it can be scaled to fit whatever requirements people have.

I really don't like the unmovable obstacles on the map, I wanted to make a farm that could generate me the 4 main resources with as little work as possible without me having to deal with them.

Guide

This farm 'requires' 1-2 minutes of effort per hour, you can afk the rest of the time or work on something else. Every hour it profits:

$10,500,000
6,876 Gems
10+ Medals
22+ Tickets

You can also optionally convert the 10.5m into 42 additional Medals with the Gift Shop.

The farm also produces over 13,060 Fish resource per hour, which can be converted into an additional 5,200 Gems per hour when using the Fish Market, though personally I don't think it's worth the time spent doing it very often.

Helper's only farm within their 13x13 box, but any any Fishing locations inside their region will still connect to the Fish outside of their region, letting you use Helpers to farm in a much larger area.


I converted a significant amount of my farm to Fish, leaving only 20% of it free to do whatever else I want to do. I connected nine satellite Helper's to the large pond, filling the rest of their area with Money Trees, 12-13 Rice and a Point of Interest. One of the Helper's has Tamarind Trees instead of Money Trees, for the Fruit production.


In total, the nine Helper's generate 228 Grain (from the Rice), 6,876 Gems (from the Money Trees), 608 Fruit (from the Tamarind Trees), $10.6m (from the Fish) and 13,147.2 Fish resource (.. also from the Fish, lol).

Clownfish are the most efficient to use I believe, each square can be harvested (almost) twice per hour with a 80% Big Catch rate. As a result, each Clownfish tile produces 1.6 Fish resource and up to $1,312 per hour. It's worth noting that this farm will get Clownfish to 200 in like a day, so it's safe to assume the full $1,312 profit per tile per hour.


Helper's consume 2 Tickets each per hour, 18 total for this farm.



The Sushi Task is a 3 step recipe, with each step taking 1 hour. The base reward from it is 20 Tickets. Each house can have 2 stoves each and you can have 4 houses, letting you produce 8 Sushi at once. While the complete recipe takes 3 hours on paper, it's unrealistic to expect that you'll be there right as a stage completes consistently, so Instead I opted to calculate it at 4 hours total.

Each sushi takes 60 Fish and Grain total to produce over a 4 hour period, which equates to 5 Tickets per hour. All 8 Sushi give you 40 Tickets per hour at a cost of 120 Fish/Grain (Helper's produce a lot more than this).

As a result, I generate far more Tickets than is needed to keep the farm operational.

some time in 2019 they introduced the max 1000 rule. This applies to any animals that are grouped together, once you hit 1000, you can't add any more to it. But with a a bit of strategy you can still get a layout like this to work. Also as mentioned before, not all fish can go together, same as for the other animals.

Fish pond sized was nerfed further in this update: https://steamcommunity.com/games/673950/announcements/detail/3019009900065401198

Nice. To make it even more lazy you could build a Deep Learning AI to play the game for you when needed lol

[elplouk]

It's worthwhile to mention that you can't group more than 2000 fishes.

Love how technical your approach is towards this farming game.

[luckz]

Not all fish types connect together. Visually they do with water, duck, buoy etc tiles.

Hello, I used a similar technique for my farm, however I have a problem with my fish area.

When I connect several of my zones together, the game will automatically block the fish in some places.

As a result, I can't get a huge area of fish like yours.

Did you have the same problem? Thank you. Thank you.

New enough to not understand most of what you wrote here.... I need a simple "getting started" .. smart and simple guide... how to expand, buy additional land? Best to plant what, where... When do I get a house? Where do I get helpers farm hands? Ponds are only good for fishing in ONCE, then what? Just starting... I'm lost so far, planting and harvesting and not seeing a way to use what I have purchased. Ah, well.. AND, I DON'T HAVE A MICROPHONE, how are other players typing in what shows on the game screen? How do I text back, answer? Where do I find the smart starting and basic instructions on this game.... I would LIKE to enjoy it... so far, it's just 24/7 plant, water, harvest, again and again!! Thanks... IF ANYONE CAN DIRECT ME TO A COMPLETE AND CLEAR BASIC GUIDE? Thanks.

@Zozuh It's the same concept just even more rewarding. :P

[Frosted]

Ayo cool farm! How would you go about this concept if you had a flat farm?
