Should also have some storage by now for the spuds, uncooked and cooked, but farms can hold 50 units of each crop. Once you’ve got the initial boom of building and got some wood spare you can build a grill to get grilled potatoes.
Leave 1/2 the available green space for potatoes and plant once you’ve got a 2nd farmhouse set up.
Start off with carrots, they mature quickly and without a reservoir without 2 layers of water stored, you run the risk of a long drought killing your crop. With 1 job slot open and fill it when you can and switch priorities when need be. But at the start go with 1 farm and leave space for another one because you will need it. Ideally you want 2 farms, 1 set to plant, 1 set to harvest. And a lot of math if you want to optimise… However, to fulfil Wellbeing you need all three foods, say hello to future planning fun. beavers need 2.25 food per day, but droughts can kill your plants and you’ll need a safety net of food stores. Or prevent an expensive building eating all your resources when it’s being built.ĥ) Food 101 – Early berry patches will not last you, get a farm up immediately after building the dam. This can be exploited to get a dam’s first layer built more easily without resorting to putting a path on top of that layer by layer caking priorities on the dam wall’s levels. But to start with, place them upstream of your initial dam.Ĥ) Getting Stuff Done – Want something built or hauled asap? Prioritise it, especially you should tick the option to prioritise haulers for this building for pumps, water tanks, food to start with. Ideally they should be located somewhere with 2 block deep water. Pump’s are fairly efficient so you can get away with 1 to start with. Roughly you want twice the amount of water storage you have beavers. Due to time pressure, you want to dam the smallest distance possible, later on once you’ve got forestry started and have flood gates unlocked, then you can go nuts.ģ) Water 2 – And in the same vein – build water storage, the ratio is 1 beaver, 2 water per day from available sources. But we’ll discuss dams and power in a later sections. Fixed now.Ģ) Water 1 – Water is life and fortunately you can build dam blocks right from the start, so the first thing you should do when starting is dam the nearest river asap and also try and get floodgates 2 sooner, rather than later. Because it would take way to much space to explain it 😛 #Timberborn farming how to
