Assume this is still valid today?

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.

[@theswfan85]

I left a comment on his belt video asking about this topic not 5 minutes before this one went up.

[@zazuch]

@@theswfan85 ASK AND YOU SHALL RECIVE! lol

[@glasseyemarduke3746]

I made that same mistake and realized it hours later after trying to figure out why my fertilizer was backed up lol

[@zazuch]

@@glasseyemarduke3746 I figured like everything else it would automatically use it. NOPE haha.

[@darelsmith2825]

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.

[@JDPlays]

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.

[@JayRay4924]

Looking forward to that food video! I spent more time than I care to admit to trying to calculate how many farms and chicken coops and markets I needed and still ended up with more eggs than I could ever eat and no sausages to eat with them...

[@twinssword]

The problem with sausages is that atm it does not scale well since its made with byproducts (you always have more eggs and chickens etc). This recently was discussed in the coi discord (might need some balancing etc). Atm you just burn access stuff off haha

[@JayRay4924]

yeah it seems more like an outlet for waste products than a sustainable food source. At least I have 300+ months of eggs and tofu to keep the protein category satisfied lol

[@detuneCris]

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.

[@PixiandBenjiCrazyKittens]

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

[@grt8guy03]

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

[@JDPlays]

I agree, I think fishing has been so highly requested we might see it in a content update in the future!

[@justinhoff4517]

​@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.

[@musizlover2008]

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

[@tr4l1975]

characteristic of or suitable for summer. "we were blessed with summery weather" a brief statement or account of the main points of something. "a summary of Chapter Three"

[@JDPlays]

I see the mistake now lol

[@eamonnfanton2165]

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 KZbin, 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]

You will have to wait for part 2 covering FOOD not FARMING lol

[@eamonnfanton2165]

@@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.

[@JDPlays]

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!

[@RigItRay]

Great farming basics video.

[@JDPlays]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@zikotesh6121]

keep the like.

[@johncundiss9098]

Question. Does food go bad? Can you store up many years worth?

[@Bandit2033]

No food decay currently, so if you have the room for the storage, yes you can store as much as you want forever

[@JDPlays]

Nope doesn't go bad in storage, doesnt go bad on the belts, I have farms that are 6 long, the belts ACTUALLY take 4 months to move from the rear farm to storage, the potatoes are quite happy baking in the sun that whole time!

[@johncundiss9098]

@@JDPlays Thank you.

[@joshcreek9531]

If your spiel about not running ads runs longer than an ad would, your time probably would've been better spent trying to convince me why Raycon is the best thing since sliced bread.

[@JDPlays]

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

[@successmeditations110]

Useful

[@JDPlays]

Thanks

[@Tusse666]

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.

[@luftwaffles274]

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

[@TheRealToriBee]

Do the recent fixes change this?

[@JDPlays]

Recent fixes I think lower the average for leaving a field blank, But i'm not sure if they remove the debuf for not rotating crops

[@TheRealToriBee]

@@JDPlays Farming over all still kinda confusses me. I've been watching this video over a couple of times while trying different practices in the game. I think I have it figured out... but farming seems to take a lot of effort to maintain.

[@JDPlays]

The way I look at farming is I just want to overproduce, If I don't have enough that's a problem. If I have 2 much then everything is fine.

[@TheRealToriBee]

@@JDPlays Yes I target two of more years of supply on hand and keep an eye on it. If it drops to 24 or less I have been adjusting by adding farms or enabling the food savers.

[@BeaverZer0]

Ya they don't explain things enough in the game.

[@gaetan5161]

It's a game for advanced factory game players. I love that i have to scratch my brain to play this game !

[@GuruCube]

Yeah, and it's also early access, so they need to finish the gameplay before explaining it all.

[@JDPlays]

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.

Take my like I never want to see it again dam thing keeps following me about.

[@Ishaann9]

Hey I know this is a farming video but I had a question about dumping. Is there a limit to deep/far out the trucks can dump (on land or ocean)?

[@JDPlays]

short answer is Yes

[@Ishaann9]

@@JDPlays Thank you . After watching your videos i learned a lot on how to play this genre. Thank you.

[@Ishaann9]

@@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

[@JDPlays]

Johnny has most of your answer, the only thing I can add is you can dig past -99 from the surface of +2
