At Level 2, the game guides you to construct your very first production building: The Cannery. This structure allows you to process basic crops (corn or red beans) into higher-value goods (canned corn or canned red beans). This is your first step in the game's economy, moving you from selling raw materials to processing products. Canned corn can be sold or baked into cornbread, the latter which can be sold or turned into chili dogs. Follow the tutorial to complete the building process and make your first canned corn.

Some production buildings, like the Cannery, are limited to only 1 the whole game. They are designated with a 0/1 flag on the building tables. These are buildings that you will need to focus on upgrading because you simply can't build more.

In the tutorial and introduction phases of the game, all buildings (fields, houses, cow sheds, etc) are limited to really narrow your focus to the mechanics of the game. Eventually (level 12 for Sundale), these limit disappear and you can build as many houses as you want!

Simple starting goods like Corn become the foundation for complex supply chains. Corn can be sold, processed into Canned Corn, and eventually into Corn Bread.

You always want to keep in the back of your mind that if you struggle with or run out of corn, you impact 4 marketable products. When you are asking yourself what to build, sometimes the best answer is a field so you have a strong foundation for your supply chains.

At some point, the game will ask you to connect an email. You want to do this to save your farm. The only confusion is when it asks for your email and password, that is NOT your email password. You need to make a password for the game. The confirmation email will most likely end up in your spam folder. You can load or save your farm at any time via the settings menu (available at level 3).
