A couple of other things to consider is, 1 - Extra fields cost extra tax each spring and 2 - Any vegetables that rot can be made into fertiliser thereby saving you the coin instead of buying it, and at 10 coin per unit of fertiliser that can add up to quite a hefty sum.
Hey, loved the video! Quick tip, do with it what you like, but maybe put a visual list up aswell when mentioning which crops are single season etc. Helps with the information processing! Great video non the less.
Maximizing utility means something a bit different to me. For me, it would be field workers and a field for each plant. I am a huge fan of the "Set it and forget it" style of play.
@@ConcedoNulli i'm not spending my valuable time scrolling through all these comments on a 3 year old thread to figure out wtf the newbie is jabbering on about now.
I learned something I wanted to share. You can grub a field the season before, but fertilizer will be lost. Not sure if you just leave it sitting there waiting to be ploughed, but if you try to get a head start by working it in, it is a loss. I was trying to get the skill for daub as my villagers go through firewood like candy. Two woodsheds and I still have to supplement. Let's just say I spent 640 golds on some farming education. "Honey, I gambled the tax money."
6 plots(2x2) spring: onion, beetroot, carrot, oat, wheat, flax. summer: 2 plots of cabbage after harvesting flax and onion. fall: all rye. Gets u all kinds of crops to build slowly and keeps u farming for those sweet sweet lvl points and tech points. yes i'm autistic :v
In my experience beets, carrots, and onions are basically useless - any application you can find for them, some other crop performs better. Flax is money and cloth Cabbage makes potage and the most efficient compost rye and oats make feed for animals wheat makes the best flour poppies are honestly skippable too, but hey I think fields of poppies look pretty so i grow them anyway and find uses for them
If you have rey and oat, they both require work in spring and fall, but carrots require work in winter and summer. So by using them, you get a more even workload thruout the year
I made a 10 by 10 for wheat so 50 is spring and 50 are autumn and a 16 by 16 where 32 tiles( 2 rows) for things like cabbage, beetroot, poppy, oat and 4 rows for carrots(2 rows per planting so 4 in total[spring/winter planting]) and 4 rows of onion because meat with gravy is OP. The third plot is my 10 by 10 money farm, since it does flax during Spring to Summer, cabbages Summer to Autumn then rye Autumn to Spring. Some spots may not be used during some seasons, but that makes me feel like a real farmer in a small way, since they will leave a field empty for a season to let the soil recover for next year.
Very helpful tips! I recruit field workers because it requires nothing from you. The field workers use there own hoes, fertilizer and seeds so you don’t need to buy anything and plus they do the work for you! I’m sure they will patch it soon
I like playing with 15 days, I can have more fields and take it easy. Currently in second Summer with lots of carrots, cabbage and onions stockpiled. I have 80 beetroots planted, 50 oats, 50 wheat and I’m about to plant 230 cabbage. All by myself as the village produces. I’ve planted so much I can’t write it all. So many fields of 50, at least 7 or 8.
I have an advice: Do not croos the rivers through the bridges. Instead, go in the water while pressing E. You'll cross as much as fast, you'll be thirst satiated, and bath clean.
In your opinion, would you place a crop field over a spot that has a shitload of Berry bushes? I could keep it to a 10x16 lot and not intrude on the bushes. As is, it would only make the crop block 13x16. Is 3 more lines worth losing the Berry crop?
I use berry’s for rot to make fertiliser and use any left over crops like cabbage to do that also, berries are important if you don’t wanna spend a load of money on animals or fertiliser
I bought 5 of each seed in starter village(24 onions) and then planted 24 onions and 5 carrots and tried to plant wheat and spring ended 😂 last minute planting my first season.
This there a proper way to fix field workers that simply just stand idle all the time? A season will almost past entirely with anything planted or harvested? Please could you help?
Food that rots in storage turns into rot, this can be taken and turned into fertilizer in the barn. It’s by far the cheapest and easiest way to produce fertilizer. So instead of selling food, just stockpile it in your storage and leave it alone it will slowly rot and then turn into “rotten _______” and then in one more season it will turn into “rot”.
@@Dare_To_Game Each Cabbage left on the floor at the change of season will make 4 rot. If you make a field of cabbage dedicated to making Rot for 2 seasons, you can make enough to fertilize all your fields for the entire year...
I did this as well. My main town I set up as kind of a market town at a bunch of crossroads. Then I have a small settlement right next to the cave in the north. Makes it really easy to stick stuff in storage, run up north, grab the items, and walk them to the village to sell.
i think farming has changed since this video. i planted cabbage during autumn and i could harvest it the next day. i only have had the game a few days so i dont know
the game calculates it that way because you can only assign a single job to a villager so a bigger field would be better for more revenue(late game, lots of tax) but a smaller field is better for profit margin(early game, low tax)

I always take a moment and have to wonder, why someone chose to thumbs down the video. Just curious. Thanks for the video, fantastic breakdown on the maths ( planting strats). Easy enough to figure out, yet, hearing it solidifies my own thoughts. 😎😎😎
Making flour is foolish in this game as wheat grains sell for the same as the flour. You are just throwing away money turning grain into flour. I have three large fields growing mostly wheat and flax and one small (6x20) with vegetable crops distributed within that field, provides more than enough food. Flax and wheat grain sell the best and flax stems are used to make linen thread/cloth which sell very well. Right now it's not worth making anything with linen to sell, you will just lose money.
