hey guys I’ve never tried making a base before
do you need like farms to make money or something I see a lot of ppl making farms
Ye, first thing you should do when making a base is get a ton of farms
how to they work (I know nothing about base building but it looks fun)
depends if you’re clan leader or not, if you’re not lead or co-lead you gotta spend your own galleons to build structures
farms in the civilization tab require space to place, then take a bit to grow. You can harvest them manually or place down a Farmer hut and kidnap a castaway to work for you
does harvesting them give you money
how much galleons does it yield
Each wheat farm makes 5 rows, each selling for 60 galleons, for a total of 300. It takes 20 minutes for them to fully grow.
Each sugarcane farm is just 1 row, each selling for 60 galleons. Also, they can only be placed if at least one side of the row is close to water. But they have a higher placement limit than wheat farms AND only take 15 minutes to grow.
Wheat farms are better, but they don’t share placement limits so you can have both.
Here’s the optimal set-up for wheat farming I found, where each farmer can fully harvest 12 wheat farms. Not a single row falls outside of their radius. It’s very tight though, so you’ll have to replicate the image exactly.
While placing a farmer’s hut, a yellow sphere appears that shows the radius of where they can auto-harvest. It’s a bit hard to see, but pay attention to it, because once you place it down there’s no way to check their radius again.

how would I go about placing 100 weat farms
how much galleons does 300 galleons worth of wheat produce every 20 minutes
- It takes 20 minutes for a full harvest.
I don’t think there are any islands with a placement limit of 100 wheat farms sadly.
what’s the biggest island currently for placement limits
I’m going to go on a farming arc fr…
Cassia Bay, but since it’s a desert island you can’t place wheat farms on it, only sugarcane, so it actually sucks. I don’t know what the second-biggest is, sorry. Shale Reef has a max harvest of 18k though.
darn.
if I wanted to build myself a personal super mega lair what would be wiser
-join a rich clan and get money that way
-make my own clan and farm a crap ton
option 2
Option 1 would require getting promoted to co-leader.
Go with option 2. I’ve made over 4 million galleons just by myself.
How many galleons do you get per harvest?
That farm is less than half of the whole set-up. I have another one identical to that, plus a lot of sugarcane. The maximum harvest is this.
Yeah I figured, or you couldn’t possibly have made 4 million otherwise
18k is a lot tho, I get ~9.5k on harvest with max sugarcanes and almost so for wheat farms. Shale reef seems to have a much larger limit, I’ll probably have to try it
I really don’t understand what determines how many farms an island can have, whispering caverns makes 12k while being way smaller than harvest.
Just curious, but has anyone taken Star Fortress as a reference for their base building?
It’s a real-life fort style fyi
If you’re curious, there are videos about it on YouTube
I wanted to but I’m too poor, plus, you would need to be really precise with your building placement and plan all of it ahead of time.
True
Although I like the Star Fortress design because it puts heavy emphasis on terrain-as-wall rather than the traditional medieval-wall
