Farmhouse
The Farmhouse is a building where beavers can plant and harvest crops, including Kohlrabies, Cassavas, Soybeans, Corn, Eggplants, Canola.
Types of Crops
There is only one food that can be eaten raw, Kohlrabies, and one crop only help to processed other, Canola, and rest of them must be processed, Cassavas, Soybeans, Corn, Eggplants.
- Cassavas processed in Fermenter
- Canola processed in Oil Press to produce Canola Oil
- Soybeans processed in Fermenter with help of Canola Oil
- Corn processed in Food Factory
- Eggplants processed in Food Factory with help of Canola Oil
Strategy
While berries can feed a small colony, they don't have the output required to reasonably sustain a large population, nor do they impact well-being beyond base hunger. Farming allows improvement to well-being and allows a higher density of food production than berries do.
Kohlrabies can be eaten raw, should be your first target
Then, Cassavas, since Fermenter only require Logs and Power
Then, Soybeans and Canola processed in Oil Press which need Logs, Planks and Gears to build
(If you have plenty of Logs, might consider build Levee and Water Dump to plant Mangrove Tree)
Then, Corn processed in Food Factory which need Planks, Gears and Scrap Metal to build
(You can also start build a Hydroponic Garden to produce Mushroom)
Finally, Eggplants which need a lot more Canola
(Plant Coffee Beans and additional Hydroponic Garden for Algae after you got Eggplant Ration)
Note: recommend setting to 'planting' priority to maintain constant work cycle after initial growth
Note: you will need to place markers to indicate crop type from the "Plant Crops' menu (third icon from the left)
