MOST POPULAR TIPS & TRICKS People Always Ask For | Farthest Frontier Guides 

Update 0.75f has changed the minimum number of workers for a farm to 2. This has no effect on anything other than the fact that 5x5 and 5x6 size farms will always have two Farmers now instead of 1. This shouldn't have any impact on the farming chapter of this video though.

Something that can benefit a town as it's being built is to occasionally go into the profession window and take away everyone from their jobs. Then let the game breathe for just a couple seconds, then refill all the jobs. What this does is it shifts job assignments so that people shift to jobs that are closer to their homes. Doing this every handful of years or after doing any rearranging off the town's layout can help keep things as efficient as possible.

After getting weed levels to roughly 15-20%, one farming trick I've done is TCP (Turnip, Clover and Peas). It gives you a net +2 in fertilization every year, keep diseases to a minimum, and gives me a steady supply of food that will take longest to spoil. When I had a crop next to this one, I reverse it to PCT (Peas, Clover, and Turnip). That way, there's a different crop next to each other to minimize diseases. All I had to do next was add a maintenance slot to one of the clover slots, and I was good to go. The yields are low at first, but the net increase in fertilizer will increase them overtime and you don't need to rush for cows just yet. It's a nice setup for your first crops if you need longer-lasting food supply at tier 1 - 2. So, my beginning build was: TCP, TCP, TMP (Maintenance) I hope this tip is useful!

Out of all the people putting up Tips, Tricks, and Let’s Plays for this game you by far have the best grasp on the game and make the most intelligent layouts that I’ve come across. I went through several other channels but was pulling my hair out watching them fumble around, they would discover parts of the game such as moving the work area of buildings and then they would still build hunting cabins way out of their villages. It was maddening. Thank you

Thank you so much for these!! I especially liked the one about how to find your basic education citizen. I was always just clicking on houses and looking through the people like that, but grabbing the info from the professions menu is so much easier! Looking forward to the video on travel times. Great job on the content!

The 2x2 medium garden and the 1x3 garden trail decorations also stack effect, not sure about the other T1 decorations. Nice tips video, thanks man.

looking forward to that travel time vid. This had some real gems. Thanks .

finally someone on youtube who provides useful tips. thank you.

More tips: 1. Use autoclicker! It is so useful! I know it seems a bit of a cheat but it really helps in the quality of life when allotting villagers to roles especially during raids and planting decoration trees for harvesting since forestry is still not added. Trust me, your fingers, wainwrights and hunters will thank you. (Wainwrights and hunters are a bit buggy when raiders try to kill them, they won't retreat unless you order them directly) 2. Try to centralize everything. Less distance travelled, more productivity. This is the main principle. This also means that eventually fishermen and hunters will be obsolete once you get enough barns (usually 3) and 6 10x10 farms up (3 dedicated to wheat, roots and greens, the other 3 for flax, peas and beans, roots in rotation) Why you ask? This is because it is actually counterproductive for the smokers. AI seems a bit clunky right now and smokers will actually go to your far away hunter cabins and fisherman shack just to get the raw meat and fish. Instead, just place them near the barns as to avoid spoilage when the herders slaughter. 3 smokers : 1 barn works best for me. 3. Temporary shelters. Again, less distance travelled, more productivity. Place them anywhere you think will help cut off travel distances (work camps, miners, and even on the industrial zones). You can look at buildings and their data and see the percentages if workers are spending more time on travelling or working. If they spend more time travelling, micromanage and follow the workers for the whole year if possible and try to make solutions why. Usually, it is because of seeking food. This is where temporary shelters come in. Every spring, villagers will fill all temporary shelters with food and firewood, this will help tremendously in cutting off time spent travelling. Also, do not forget to place wells beside temporary shelters. 4. Micromanaging luxuries, resources, villagers, etc. Eventually from a rag tag group of pioneers, you will eventually become a civilization. Micromanaging will be hard. What I do is assign all the buildings with villagers and then go to the villager professions tab and then reassign accordingly to surplus and demand of resources. I reassign the default "P" button to "Q" for ease. Example: if I have too many furniture, I just go to professions tab and reassign accordingly instead of trying to find the building.

Good tips! Thanks! 👍🏻

Congratulations on 20k. Thanks for all the help 😊😊

In version 0.8.0 apiaries can handle a LOT more overlap without serious drops in productivity. Also it's a HORRIBLE idea to have them spread out around a town because the more scattered they are, the more your farmers will go to collect their products and ignore the main fields (apiaries do not have their own dedicated workers but are tended to by the general pool of farmers). So keep them close to your fields and fruit orchards and don't be afraid to have them a lot closer together.

What a cool game. Just started yesterday and went on a 13 hours straight session. Did not feel the time pass! ^^

nice tips TY very good honestly

I do the same with blueberry bushes as fruit trees in the village. They don't need a forager, just select them for harvest and prioritize and villagers will pick them when in season.

Great video. The problem of moving your apiaries around is that the farmers are required to tend to them so I like to keep them close to the farm fields.... Keep the videos coming....

Thank you sooooo much!!!

Actually apiaries can be placed into you farming fields. I started putting it each side of my farming fields and got boat loads of honey.

Excellent tips, I’m going to enjoy fiddling with these

You can build apiaries on farm lands as well, they make use of the clover

Ty so much.

hey man! thanks for all the help. I have only 1 question, do have an issue as well where citizens don't consume the cheese available in your storage? if yes, what did you do to fix them? thanks a lot man!

One thing that bothered me about the cows is that you need a bull for them to reproduce, which, coincidentally, you've got two of them on your starting wagon. But can't use them. The devs should rework that if they get time.

Taka - please do another video about production ratio, how many bakeries per windmills, how many firewood choppers per 50 citizens etc

Thanks dude for info about fruit trees ! Witn repsect from Russia

damn i didnt notice the about the fruit trees dont forget you can move blueberry bushes and make a garden early on especially with 0.7.5F atleast for me its hard to find blue berry before about year 3 i would have around 40 bushes relocated not about 10-15 which is still good

NEED A LAYOUT VIDEO!GREAT TIPS!

Great vid! Been having issues with soldiers in barracks leaving town due to unhappiness (gold, food and housing are plentiful, but they just decided to leave). Any tips on that aspect of the game?

I dont know about the barn. I mean with 16 Cows I get 4 birth a year so 2k meat. I think that pays up for the extra vegetable use

thank you.

Damn i like ur vids. But another question: Isn't it better to do 2 buckwheat in a season then one wheat or rey, if i want to harvest grains? I do not see any problems... Thanks a lot again

Great tips.. thanks. Question: all of my market vendors are 'wandering' and I don't understand why. What's missing that will make them stock the market instead of idling. The market is almost empty and there are plenty of supplies at the warehouse just down the road. Does that warehouse need to be inside the market sphere?

Would love to know how to use the add sand or clay to farms, so far I can press the arrow to where it's desired to go but nothing seems to happen after that?

Question: Do you need to build roads between houses for max desirability or can you just make giant squares and cram gardens, houses and plazas/ wells etc in there?

Storing food in a root cellar will yield better results than keeping it in a storehouse. But if you do not turn off food going to your storehouse they will move it there if a storehouse is closer than a root cellar and you will lose food much faster. Herds of cows 8 is a golden number could not agree more and set it to 8 so they auto slaughter every year to maintain levels I find once I have 2-3 cow farms going I really do not need hunters and phase them out. Now I just need tips for dealing with raiders. Can you game them into attacking the same location by not walling it and having storage there and lots, lots of towers, a kill zone if you will?

Regarding roads; you don't need to have roads in your residential or civil areas. They provide no benefit outside of transporting goods. People don't need them to move any faster through housing zones or to access housing or civic buildings. Roads currently (version 0.8.0) are only of benefit when linking together mines, industrial, crafting, and storage buildings. So houses do NOT need to be place in small sections with every house's arrow touching a road. Instead, use decorations like plazas, gardens, and garden paths to create your residential zone 'roads' and save a bit of space that can be used for more houses or decorations.

14:35 Agronomists call it "nitrogen fixing crops", I believe.

Morning, I was wondering if you could do a piece on transporting Ore over long distances, Can you set up a Wagon route to transport these instead of the miners actually carrying the ore on foot?

"Healers huts are expensive but once you start getting small pox and bubonic plague you'll probably want one". No shit. LOL!

Deer do repopulate. I build walls around big herds and one hunter. Later on, it's a game preserve that gets hunted determined by deer population. It helps in late game actually.

hey great videos!! I have a problem with the workers. They give 0 f about the closest storage... some will go to literally the farthest one instead of using the one they have right next to them. What's going on here? Are you having the same issue? Also red alert that there are no fish in the area appears every single year even if it's not winter (i was able to fish all year long except winter before).

i place my apiary's near my fruit trees, and blueberry bushes and farms.

Tip: if you're going for 8 cows, let them go up to 10, but kill a few every year, for resources

The thing about grazing cattle on clover isn't working for me anymore. It worked for the *very first* session after the update, but now it says Fodder 0%.

How can I remove the infection in my farm?

Maybe a future update could include a pop up card describing the "resume" of immigrants WITH the notice asking if we want to accept them?

Food spoilage please how do I stop it

my apology sir, but there are burning houses while you speech about honey bees

I always run out of gold

With a herd size of 12 i got sometimes 4 birth per year.

4:10 "..took off the job(s)" not "off of". A wide spread mistake in Americas, unfortunately. "Off of" is never used/does not exists in English in any condition. For instance, these common expressions can prove: "get off my hair", "it knocked me off my feet" etc.

love of god how are people's monthly incomes so high...what is giving you that level of income. I know how to 'sell' things but that doesn't give you a static 350 income..that just adds gold straight to your gold totals.

Your Farthest Frontier vids are 2:34

I've got a single deer stuck inside my fence running through my crops, why doesn't this game let you manually target the deer like you can in Dawn of Man. This is really annoying.

0:34, nothing is clear here. Not one building has a detailed and adequate description. We don't have a description about how storage works, labourers (now wood is an issue...), builders as they glitch and so on.

PLAZAS ARE ANNOYING? THIS IS QUITE POSSIBLY THE MOST ANNOYING CIV BUILDER EVER.
