Topic: Trees need fertile land but do farms?

From what I've read I learned trees need the best land, but I could not find an answer to whether farms (all growing types I mean, even the reed farm) need it too? Also I did read that farms don't actually need all the space around them as they only can use a few (5?) anyways. So practically speaking a farm only needs access to 1 space radius rather than 2? Thing is in the first tutorial I learned the wrong thing, the reed farm gave me a message not enough room to grow reeds so afterwards I always tried to max out the space available to all farms. That is a mistake isn't it? -- |

Hi and welcome, try to answer your question per building: Edited: 2019-05-20, 19:54

hessenfarmer explanation is great. what I can add is that your reed farm either had too many roads around, or too many trees got planted. as for farms, with non-frisians on perfectly flat ground you can arrange your roads in a 4x4 grid (all straight roads running east-west and SW-NE, each parallel road separated by 4 steps), and in each square there is space for one large building, and a farm inside one such square will produce at 100%. For frisians, you'd need to cut a few roads; say that if you delete half the horizontal roads, or half the diagonal roads, you'd be fine. Top Quote |
