We should discuss the gameplay a little further to add context to why farming is an important task in the Cult of the Lamb. In the gameplay, you are the Lamb, who is supposed to please the deity because it saved your life when you were about to be sacrificed and slaughtered. Now, your life and death in the game are in the deity’s hands. To please him, you have to make your empire all across, and you are given different abilities to convince people into the cult. With the member of cults, you organize various rituals and get ready for the action. But as the leader of the cult, you need to keep the cultists alive and well and make them participate in various tasks that involve devotion and increase their faith in the cult. Farming is integral to making a successful cult and generating the air of divine inspiration. Let’s jump into the how-to’s of farming now,
Why Build Farm in Cult of The Lamb
Initially, it might be a little tricky to understand the aspects of farming, but as the story goes on, all the perspectives unveil. You need to build the farm, driven for three major reasons:
Gathering seeds: While crusading over the regions for the expansion of the cult, you will come across various seeds. You need to gather and bring them back to your base as you need seeds of different vegetation for cultivation on your farm.
Growing food: The lambs can grow very limited food in their gardens. The quantity can not sustain the expansion of the cult, and you need to add options to the meals also. To respond to all these problems, you need to develop a sustainable farm for the cultists.
Growing plantation: There are two plants that can not be used as food, Mushrooms, and Camellia. But still, these are needed in your cult and are as important as other buildings, currencies, and growing elements. It adds up to the scoring values of your cult.
How to Build Farm in Cult of The Lamb
Making the farmhouse in the game is one of the most interesting things, but first of all, you need to set up a building which is required to be in a shelter or a farming plot. To set up a shelter or plot, you require a few basic elements like grass, wood, and a few coins. As you keep going forward in the game and get ‘divine inspiration’ you will unlock higher levels and potentials of comparatively complex buildings and materials. Progressing in the gameplay will also provide you with top-notch productive stuff like golden bars and wooden planks.
Buildings for Farming
Certain exclusive buildings and plots in the game are marked as Farm Buildings. There is a range of various types of buildings related to farming, and each of them specializes in specific tasks to keep the operations of farming smooth. The buildings are listed below:
Farm plot: Making a farm plot requires very little, only a few blades of grass and a few coins. Now you can plough the seeds in the ground and cultivate the plot. Watering of this building is regularly required, and so is fertilizing to find some poop from the land.
Compost Bin: Fertilizing the ploughing grounds is a must for the growth of seeds, and to do so, organic fertilizer is needed. With the compost bin building, you can create your fertilizer, and the constant need for collecting organic wastes from the outhouse would become limited.
Natural Burial: This building unlocks with the return of the Earth Doctrine in the game. It allows the cult to use the dead bodies of cultists, and using this farm building, they convert that into organic fertilizer.
Fertilizer Silo: This building is used to store the extra poop from the cult after filling the compost bins. Later it is used to grow crops by the members.
Farm Station: This is an advantageous building for the growth of the farming sector. This building helps the cultists to plant, grow and harvest the seeds from the farms, and eventually, it advances to farm station 2. In this stage, the production output is faster by making planting, cultivating, and fertilizing crops the cultists’ responsibility. It enables the cult leader to focus more on other activities of the cult.
ScareCrow: Birds are everywhere, and they can steal the seeds of harvested or growing plants; therefore, a scarecrow is required to be built. It drives the birds and crows away from the field and protects the seeds. When updated to level two, it turns into a Trap Scarecrow, which traps the birds and later used as meat for the cultists.
Harvesting Totem: As the name suggests, this building helps the plants to grow faster and eventually drives up the production output of the farm. A Devotion Harvesting Totem can increase the devotion of your fellow followers in the cult.
Seed Silo: This structure holds the extra seeds of the cult, which were either bought or gathered during the crusades. Seeds from the silo are used, once provided to farm station 2 to the members involved in the farming process.
Farming-Related Buildings
The above-mentioned are the buildings that are directly involved in farming, but there are a few more buildings that assist in the process, a list of the buildings is discussed below:
- Out House: Before the compost bin unlocks, this building remains the only source of fertilizers for the cult.
- Healing Bay: As described before, Camellia can not be used as food, but these plant buildings help to heal the followers. Camellia can be grown by followers in the healing bay.
- Kitchen: To ensure the cult’s followers are not starving and are always fit and strong for the crusades, the leader needs to make sure the Kitchen building is up and running. Though during the crusades, food is directly consumed from the resources available.
- Propaganda Speakers: These speakers in the cult help to grow the work ethics and the motivation of the workers around. Putting a few of them around the farming slots definitely increases the production output and simultaneously helps to increase the devotion of the cultists.
Planting, Cultivation & Harvest
Before the followers of the cult take up all the farm responsibilities, the player needs to plant and water a few crops to initiate the process. The time for harvesting of seeds can not be controlled, unlike in the crusade situation, where the cultists can use weapons to speed up the process. Harvesting is done manually in the beginning. On the other hand, Kitchen will offer a minigame where new recipes will be found and discovered by harvesting newer seeds and plants. You can not discover new food items in the scroll menu. It appears according to the available ingredients.
