2 crops in 2 farms > 3 crops + Green Manure in 1 farm> 4 crops in 1 farm. My numbers are based on the game data of no crop or "fallow" v. Green Manure. Also. Green Manure can hold up your planting cycle up to four months in a water shortage, so it's important to hook up the water for those irrigated farms, even if it's just rain.

Generally more farms and less rotations is a good rule of thumb, except green manure has a bonus fertility in the greenhouse 1 and 2, so that changes the numbers sometimes.

I absolutely love this game. I wish... they would introduce fishing, creating a fishing fleet for food. Larger the population, larger the fleet :)

​@JDPlays that would be really cool, have it where if you overfish for too long you can cripple the fish population until it recovers. Maybe have water and trash pollution impact fishing in the areas they are dumped.

thanks for this! I'm pretty far into the game already but learned more than a few things. Time to squeeze my workers a bit more, they can't say now that they have no food.

Just starting plaing Captain of Indusry. Massive thx for tutorials. I have learn a lot. Keep the good work:D

When I think about it, the game almost reminds me of the Anno series. They both share some basic elements.

Legit was trying to figure out farms LAST NIGHT and came to your channel to see if you had a video about them to give me a bit of insight as it was clear I was doing something wrong. Was bummed to see you didn’t have one like the belts/pipes which gave me a few bits of good knowledge. Guess I was just a day to early it seems! Ty for this video. Ex last night i realized despite setting up fertilizer and 100% didn't realize despite making it, running the piping etc that I didnt move that green bar so it wasnt using the fertilizer I made.sigh haha.

Good vid. With relation to farms what I would really like to see though is a guide on crop rotation and which crops should be assigned to a particular farm. At the moment I have 8 farms with a rotation of Potatoes , green manure, veg, empty which consistently leaves me with about 50 months food supply for my 1700+ pops. This also satisfies two categories (carbs and vitamins) and gives a me the max unity bonus for both. when the food supply drops below 50 months I simply drop in yet another farm with the same rotation cycle. All off that is without using any fertiliser. What I would like to do though is grab those protein and treats unity bonuses, but I have yet to figure out how to achieve that in a consistent way. I have dabbled with the chicken farms and bread but I cannot get consistent results from either. A guide on farm rotation that will satisfy all 4 food category bonuses for unity that is scalable (like my potato and veg farms) would be very much appreciated. Maybe another viewer has figured it out and would like to share? Have subscribed but I never give likes on youtube videos or any other tyype of social media. I dont like the way that KZread, google, etc uses that info for their own nefarious uses. Otherwise you would have got a like for all your vids so far in this series.

@@JDPlays looking forward to it ! But it is a chicken and egg situation. you need to know how much food and of which type you need before you start slapping down farms everywhere, often building the wrong type or needlessly wasting resources and precious space. Chicken farms are a great example of that, You build a couple, put in all the infrastructure (pipe belts etc) and then find out you cant hit the unity target or keep running out of animal feed. Dont ask me how I know that, have almost given up on trying to make them work in a way where you get the unity bonus without ending up with a bottleneck or to much of a particular resource that's hard to get rid of.

Arrr Chicken farms I have a totally different answer, Why try to max them out? I use them as a dump for surplus food... I built 12, I could support all 12 to start with, but as the people ate more, the chickens eat less. Now I support 3, and have 6 with semi starving chickens, they get a bit of food every now and then, but the population hasnt died yet and I still get free eggs out of the mix!

Agreed it was a bit 2 long, I will keep it shorter next time. it was cut from the video as I couldn't get the wording right but this video had 6h of research to get everything worked out before I even prepped the map for recording

How do I fix it so that my Farms use Fertilizer 2 as primary Fertilizer, and organic fertilizer as secondary? I know how to do it with belts, but when it is pipes it's a bit different.

set a balancer before entering the farm to prioritize fert 2 input with the Fert 2 and Organic coming in.

@@JDPlays A follow up to this. Can you tell exactly how far out or deep we can dump? I know it depends on the maps but is there a depth limit?

@Bandit2033

Longer answer is you can set how far out till the 'edge of the map' and how deep the ocean is in the initial map settings. "Extra ocean chunks" and "ocean floor decline" (unless your asking if there's a bottom to the map aka how deep you can dig into the terrain, then most likely, but ive yet to see anyone actually hit it) You can see how far and how deep the ocean is when you are using the dumping/mining tools, you can't designate past the map edge, and any designations you do set will draw lines down (or up if in mountains) to where the current terrain height is, so you can see how deep it is

I agree, but early access games are like that. No explanation half the end game features are missing, and your go from there. Some EA games are highly polished out of the gate (Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere, CoI) and you expect more. But many are not and you just accept it needs work, and they get there in the end.
