Farthest Frontier is a game where you will be getting Immigrants to unite and build up a safety haven for themselves under your guidance. The biggest thing that every human needs is of course food. In this guide we will be showing you one of the ways of getting food in this game. Let’s talk about how to farm.
How To Farm – Farthest Frontier
Farming is a little complicated in this game. You can always open the Crop Field Menu where you will get shown how the Farming works in a nutshell. This is how it looks like:
You can move everything around. Just click and drag whatever you want to set up in the queue.
What people are having problems with this menu is that they don’t realize that you will have to actually pick what you will be growing in the next few years. All of the picks and vegetables that you can choose to grow will have different benefits and different stuff.
The main thing you will want to remember is to keep your Crop Field maintained. You can maintain your fields by using the farmers that are shown in the first level of the picture above. Press it and then you’ll get a pop out window on the right.
You can do it for each separate level as you gain progress for your farms. These are the different options that you can grow. Then the farmer that you can see on the bottom of this pop out window is the person that performs field maintenance. That is a key figure in keeping a healthy farm. You can set it up to be the first thing or as the last things. Simply move him around to put him in the farming queue.
The best tip is to put the maintenance at the end of each farming year. The starting of the season is meant for growing a lot of vegetables(this can be turnips or anything with high frost tolerance) and also the middle of the season too. Keep a lookout on the tolerance of the vegetables you’re planting so you’ll know when to actually plant them througohut the year.
There are items that also help and boost the fertility rate of the flowers. On example there is crop Clover that can boost up your fertility rate and actually speed up the growth and life of your plants. The Clover is the best for this. Always plant Clovers if you start going low on fertility.
Another thing to look out for other than the fertility is the Weed Level. You can see this under the crop rotations which are on the top.
Always control the Weed Level and make sure that it doesn’t get very high. The farmer keeping maintenance is actually helping out a ton with the Weed level. He is the worker that will clear everything out and actually prolong the life of your farm.
Make sure to regularly rotate crops. This is a realistic farming system so it works just the same as in real life. Rotate the crops, never place them same ones, and every once in a while do not plant anything. This is for the land to be fertilize naturally again and to give birth to many more plants the next upcoming years.
Also make sure to increase the Soil Mixture incase you are growing the crops more often than usually.
You can press the Add Sand option on the right. Bring it up to where you need it to be for that particular level it needs to be to be just right to help out with growing that crop.
Keep in mind that a lot of these things don’t actually have any animations for the Crop Field you’re working on. So if it a worker working and you don’t see an actual one, well that is for the devs to implement so it can help us with our immersion. It doesn’t change anything if you don’t see a worker working on the field.
No matter what you’re planting, you can always hover over with your cursor over the plant and check out what is affecting it for the final yield.
That should be it! We hope that this guide helped you clear out some issues you might have had with the farming system in Farthest Frontier. Now go on ahead and become the best farmer the world has even seen!
