Overview

The Plantation is a farm building that uses nearby Farm Fields to grow  Berries and  Plant Fiber.

• Drizzle: Planting takes place. Double Yield chances are calculated during planting.
• Clearance: Harvesting takes place.
• Storm: Plowing takes place. Plowing applies +10% Double Yield chance to Farm Fields.

Strategies

• Unlike the other standard farms, the Small Farm and Herb Garden, the Plantation has a 2-star recipe for raw food that is efficient enough to sustain a sizeable population. This makes it the safer choice of farm in general, since access to appropriate complex food recipes like  Porridge are not guaranteed. Unlike the Greenhouse, the Plantation does not require access to  Drizzle Water.
  • Additionally,  Berries can be used for production of both  Skewers and  Pickled Goods, which are available from the Field Kitchen.
  • Since  Berries can be combined with  Flour to produce both  Pie and  Biscuits, the only advantage the Herb Garden has over the Plantation is the ability to produce ingredients for  Porridge,  Tea, and  Incense.
• The  Plant Fiber and  Berries produced by the Plantation can be used to produce  Meat and  Eggs in the Ranch.
  • Producing  Eggs using  Berries is often not worth the labor investment, since the only product that can be produced using Eggs that can't be produced using Berries is  Paste, which can be produced faster, though less efficiently, using the Ranch's Meat recipe.
