To maximize the output of your corn farm, choose a size between 110-130 squares (i.e., 8x14, 9x13, 8x15, 10x12, 11x11, 9x14, and 10x13) and use only one worker. If any of these factors are less than optimal a single farmer will spend less time working and will only be able to manage a smaller field. The above assumes:Ī home that is 1 square away from the farm and within market radiusĪ storage barn right next to the house, with no danger of reaching capacityĪn ample supply of laborers to prevent idling farmers from straying However, this high level of efficiency is dependent on other factors that maximize time spent farming rather than traveling, idling, etc. This must be set manually by clicking on the farm and adjusting the number of workers for that farm, rather than the total number of farmers in the job panel. Thus, sizes of 120 square area such as 11x11 or 15x8 or 12x10 are optimal using only 1 worker. A single worker can manage an even greater area, potentially breaking 900 food/worker, but this is impractical. In reality, a single worker can comfortably work up to 120 squares, easily averaging 800 food/worker. are only optimal using the default amount of workers. In reality, this is an extremely conservative and inefficient allotment of workers. It stems from the fact that crop fields, by default, assign another worker every 56 squares. Sheep also have the added benefit of wool, the most useful animal byproduct.įarms- ~120 square plot with 1 worker produces 800+ foodĬonventional wisdom, especially here on Reddit, says that any plots with a multiple of 56 squares will maximize output, up to 392 food/worker. They produce more food compared to Cows, which are valuable for their leather but reproduce slower netting less food overall, and Chickens, which have an advantage of food variety but otherwise have poor output. The 20x20 pasture is best in this regard, as its area is also a multiple of 16. Thus, a herdsman should manage the largest pasture possible. However, we are concerned with the optimal allocation of workers.Ī pasture of any size can be easily managed by 1 worker. Thus, any pasture that is a multiple of 16 is optimal with regard to land use. The benefits of a greater number of sheep are linear because of this, not exponential as reproduction is in the real world.Įach sheep requires 16 squares to live. It is believed that sheep produce asexually-that is, a larger flock gains NO reproductive advantage over a smaller flock. The precise amount of food that 25 sheep produce in a year is unclear. Pasture- 20x20 Sheep with 1 worker produces 1000+ food. I have organized my results by method, in order of labor-efficiency. I want to boost the good information and bury the bad. However, I often find myself with an abundance of space and limited labor, especially in the early game.Īll of my data comes from reddit. In a real game, these numbers would be overshadowed by concerns about space availability and terrain. I am interested in the most labor efficient way to produce food.
