Farthest Frontier

Farthest Frontier is becoming one of the most famous computer games among game lovers. In this game, farming has an important value. Players need to take care of the crops as well as the farming rotation to keep everyone well-fed. It can be both overwhelming and difficult for beginners, just like the real world. To take care of the farming in the game, you need knowledge about different crops. As the game is about pushing the limit of civilization in a hostile area, civilization cannot grow without proper farming. We have discussed here everything that you need to know to grow the best food for your civilization, including which crops can be the best choice for you and what should be the farming rotation.

If we compare the farming in Farthest Frontier with other games, it is clear that it is more complicated than most colony sims, which may excite you initially, but as the game continues, you will need some support to grow the best food. The crop’s tolerance for temperature also changes, and the presence of weeds and rocks depends on the quality of the soil, it’s yield as well as the time it needs to grow, which eventually impacts the fertility of the soil. Sometimes, it can go out of hand, and the player must make decisions that cannot be altered directly.

Also, as a player, you must try manipulating the factors that can affect fertility, weed level rockiness, and soil mixture.

Remember, there are several food items that would not grow if the field where they are planted contain too many weeds or rocks, and that’s why you have to concentrate on field management as well to grow those food items and maintain the level of weed and rocks on the plantation site.

Now, if we discuss the soil mixture of the field, we can say that the player needs to add more clay or sand until the planting site meets all the requirements of growing crops. There are food items that totally depend on soil mixture to grow.

We do not need to discuss the importance of fertility as it is one of the most important things you should consider while growing food items. For this purpose, you will need to create a strategy for intelligent crop rotation. It is a complex process that you need to understand before applying, and we will also discuss it later in this article. First, let’s discuss which crops can be the best choice for you.

The best crops to grow in Farthest Frontier

Farming is an important part of gameplay as it promotes the growth of civilization and also it is the resource of their lives. Which crops you should grow also depends on the requirement at that time, but here we have enlisted some of the crops that can be a wise choice.

Turnips 

The first name on the list is Turnips, which can grow quickly regardless of the weather. The sudden season change is a matter of concern in the gameplay, but with this crop, you don’t need to worry that a sudden season change can kill the crops, and you can plant multiple harvests.

Peas 

Indeed, peas cannot withstand the scorching sun of summer, but they can amazingly improve the fertility of the field where they are planted. Not only that, but if you harvest peas, the field will be healthy for a long time.

Beans 

If you are worried about which crop you can harvest in summer, beans are the perfect option for you as they are highly heat-resistant, and not only that, but they can also improve the fertility of the field where they are planted.

Buckwheat

It is a fast-growing plant that also acts as a natural weed suppressant. So, if you harvest this crop in your field, you will not need to invest a lot of time in maintaining the field, as this crop will make your job easier.

Carrots

Carrots cannot efficiently grow when the field is full of too many rocks, but you can harvest this crop even if the field has poor fertility. So, if you haven’t invested enough time in field maintenance and, as a result, your field has a poor fertility level, you can go for this crop without giving it a second thought.

The Best Crop Rotation

We have mentioned before that crop rotation is a matter of concern, and without a strategic and wise crop rotation, your field would not be perfect for farming. Whether you want to increase the field’s fertility or reduce the weed in the field, you will need to give enough attention to the crop rotation. As we are discussing the best crops to grow in the game, in this article, it is important to discuss crop rotation as well.

You can schedule your crop for planting by clicking on that year you desire, followed by choosing the crop you want to harvest. After that, you can plant and drag it in either direction on the timeline to adjust the planting schedule as you need it. Though we all know about some common factors that every player should keep in mind while choosing the right crop, such as avoiding peas in summer (as they cannot withstand the heat), understanding crop rotation is something more than basic considerations.

The field given to you can have different issues; on the other hand, some crops can take longer than others to grow. So, you must create a perfect strategy and understand how to keep your field healthy and grow healthy crops. You must understand when to plant a crop and whether your field is healthy enough for multiple plantings or not. There are various ways that you can choose to understand the cycle of crop rotation, but the best and easiest method is to harvest the first two years of each cycle by planting a single crop in each field. Along with it, you will need a single clover harvest to increase the fertility of the land. You can also use the last 2 years of the cycle for a second clover harvest to maintain your field and keep the field healthy for the upcoming three-years cycle. To understand the cycle, you will not need to know about the benefits of different crops. Here we have mentioned some that can help.

  • If you are willing to improve soil fertility, peas and beans are the best options.
  • If you need a crop for weed suppressant, Buckwheat can be the perfect one, and it can also help you to maintain the field.
  • Over fertile soil is also a matter of concern and in that case, Wheat, Flax, and Rye can be useful as they are hard on the soil and can lower the fertility. It is advised not to plant these crops in the same field often.

Once you set the three-year crop cycle, it will be repeated until you change that. So, it is also advised that if you succeed in finding an efficient crop rotation strategy, do not alter it until it is important.

Ending words

Farming is fun in the game if you understand which crops can help you in which way. Also, you have to find an efficient crop rotation strategy to maintain your field and keep it fertilized so that you can contribute to the growth of civilization. We hope that this article was helpful to you and you have successfully planted the right crops in the game.
