Big Farm Homestead Fansite

Level 4 is the most important milestone yet: After building a house, the mandatory tutorial ends, and you gain strategic agency over your farm! The game no longer dictates every click. While structural limits remain (like caps on the number of buildings), you are now free to choose your crops, production chains, and quest priorities. Building unlocks are now driven by Chapter Quests, as demonstrated by the construction of the Bakery.

The Bakery introduces your first truly complex production chain. It requires multiple steps to create the final product, Cornbread:

1. Grow Corn in the fields.
2. Process Corn into Canned Corn at the Cannery.
3. Finally, process Canned Corn into Cornbread at the Bakery.

Strategic Note: The Market will soon begin asking for all three of these items (Corn, Canned Corn, and Cornbread) simultaneously. Therefore, your strategic focus must shift to building robust supply chains from the bottom up. This means proactively investing in more fields for corn than you think you need to prevent bottlenecks at the start of this long chain.

Worker Management Basics:

• Worker Source: Workers come from two places: your starting Homestead (Sundale) and any additional Houses you build.
• Worker Cost Rule: Every building in the game requires 3 Workers to function, plus 1 additional Worker for each subsequent upgrade.

Strategic Priority:

• While Workers are a constraint, Land is the finite resource you must protect. Every new House takes up a valuable plot of land that could be used for fields or production buildings.
• To maximize your usable land, prioritize upgrading existing Houses and the Homestead using your High Focus materials (Glass and Bricks) over building new Houses. Upgrading gives you more workers without consuming scarce land, making it the superior investment.
