Unless the wiki lies, the Monkeyopolis doesn't absorb the income generated by farms, it calculates by the cash sunk into the consumed farms. In my previous testing a Miniopolis that consunes a single 420 Farm generates less cash than a 420 Farm per round, despite the 1,250 bonus.

[@MackanRules]

Yes you are right! Upvote this man! "The total monetary value of Farms is added to that amount of money per round in a ratio of $200 total income per $2000 worth of sacrifices, rounded up"

so is it better to consume alot of 420 farms or just leave it alone? (i cant wrap my head around this stuff T_T)

[@castillle3675]

isn't that because the farms were being buffed by monkey city and the monkey city doesn't buff itself?

[@FranXiT]

I can't believe you forgot to mention the insane value of a free dart monkey each round from the monkey city upgrade... unsubbed, disliked, reported and called the authorities!

[@MackanRules]

The most important part of the upgrade!! 😅 Peter let me know that i did forget about that temple discounts can stack if they have a different discount amount! And im sure there will be several more things :D

I just hit the 10min mark and wanted to mention two things about the boats. 1) The Boat paragon adds a second Trade Empire buff that doubles the trade empire buff, and 2) In Co-Op, having more than one Trade empire increases the available stacks by 20, allowing x80 Trade empire buff when maxxed out

[@MackanRules]

Wow!

[@Ne_Ne_Vova_UA]

+paragon, i don't know if you can have few of the same paragon for different players, but you can add at least 1 boat paragon for x100

[@ClayGaming-zd7es]

@@Ne_Ne_Vova_UA No, The boat paragon gives another trade empire buff, not increases the maximum. See it this way: Boat paragon, 20 merchants, 1 trade empire= 20x 20x 80 merchants, 4 trade empires= 80x, cannot go higher. So the max stacks for these terms is 4 trade empires, one boat paragon, and 80 merchants, making an x80 x80 buff (or x80 x20, I haven't done enough testing in recent updates)

​@@crosssans6133 From what I remember, NK designed the bosses to be suitable for the skilled players, as they're not something you can complete with a fresh account, unless you're already skilled and know what to do, like ISAB and Hbomb. They do require some skill, such as knowing what cheap defense can allow you to greed the most and what is the most efficient farming method based on your current situation I remember trying to do the 1st Bloonarius when it was released and having to use lots of powers, even instas, just to beat the elite boss. Nowadays I breeze through them whenever I have the time to do boss events, as they're quite fun to do and see how you can improve your strategy or adapt it to the current restrictions it comes with.

[@unclexelusion]

Love the way you slowly scaled the video. Starting with a giant explanation for each farming tower and then showing examples is really nice. Good job 🫵✍️🔥🔥

[@MackanRules]

Thank you!

[@olinequ901]

For the second strategy, it's worth mentioning that alchemist should be placed in monkeyopolis' range, because he benefits from its buffs. He should be also placed in a way that minimizes popping bloons (in your video you lose a lot because of this placement, and how long it takes for bloons to reach the trap). Also, overclock doesn't have full uptime on banana central, so you need to get 2 of those.

[@kulekid6917]

alchemist actually is not affected by monkey city for some reason. you still only get 50$ from leads and 200% from gold bloons. so there's no reason for it to be in the range

[@ethrismelnexc7345]

I remember knowing so much about farming because i used to play free play 4player coop with randoms for no reason. After bosses I really optimised my own strats and learnt things like imf farming lol. Glad you’re going over everything, especially the specifics

[@Dog-hv7li]

Best monkey to use

[@Exkhaniber]

It occurs to me that this is something I need to start doing in my games in order to get any better, or even just stand a chance against bosses. But holy cow, the "pro" strategy is such an enormous amount of effort to put in micromanaging and memorizing a dozen steps to take at each end of round. The results speak for themselves obviously, but still, holy cow!

[@aBradApple]

I just started playing this game last week thinking it was going to be a simple grind toward completion. This video has changed my mind. Also, I think I finally understand why hotkeys are necessary. Thanks for the hard work put into it!

[@TigerWon]

Hahaha simple grind....over day 400 for myself and still learning.

[@dr.flipside7035]

If you're a casual player that dosen't mind using insta monkeys, they can help alot with bosses. Using towers can save money on early defense, and using farms lets you farm early. Even a green tower can make a notable diffrence.

[@thematrixlunchhacker]

I knew like 90% of the things mentioned, nevertheless I watched the whole 40 min because of the great explanation and editing. Thanks !

[@MackanRules]

Thanks man!

[@leopoldkitty760]

Facts

[@swichedd]

in general, I think you should also get camo on lead to gold for 59. There are so many leads it’s definitely worth for that round. Also worth for round 69, 90, and 95

[@thetruth9651]

Another thing if you do the 2 farms into a bank with ben, is collecting it, then buying a bloon trap and gold alchemist. Then sell the bank, getting a 1 farm monkeyopolis and then some marketplaces. use a discount village for them. This works for elite, and doesn't need favor trade boat. Then save until you can sell the markets for a b central as a catalyst to save for brfs. Get money city villages in the center of them for more money. Overclock your b central. When you get at least 12 brfs, get a wall street. If there is a lot of water, get a trade empire with favored trade boats after the wall street. Then brfs with monkey cities until the map is filled. Get an ultravoost and start voosting your t5 farms and opolis, but make sure to get a better opolis beforehand. Then keep boosting your brfs. Worked in this weeks elite lych, no worries at all.

[@sebastiankalstrom237]

very helpful. I've been wanting to know more about farming lately because I've been watching btd6 content for a long time but just recently began playing the game. like you said bosses have been a struggle for me to get into bc I feel like I'm always watching a tutorial and this seemed to help me understand some of the more basic concepts with regards to money generation. I think it'll help me a lot. thanks!

[@MackanRules]

Glad to hear it!

[@Freixenetynt]

this is like the best, most complete and useful guide i’ve seen for farming, there’s soooo little farming content out there, thanks for the incredible work

[@grandruby5343]

I just wanna say thanks to this guide, I was able to beat the recent dreadbloon boss using the first farming strat. It was a bit stressful and scuffed because the initial farming I missed a couple BRFs, but after one continue and what felt like intense micro (setting up a dart paragon immediately after primary finished, and setting up boat paragon, setting up a Temple after selling all my farms all while hitting all abilities on CD while playing on mobile), I was able to get it. Now I feel confident to try out the other boss events using those strats, so thanks!

[@stickey3476]

Obyn makes money one either way indirectly. Eventually, you starts buffing Druid of the Jungle's range, which lets you squeeze more farms into its range, thus resulting in more cash

[@JM_Traslo]

Worth noting that Benjamin, even after his rework, is extremely good at countering Waves 40/60/80 because he can make the single MOAB/BFB/ZOMG insta-pop as long as it isn't popped organically within the first 2-3 seconds. This can allow more precise strategies that don't have to worry about popping those specific rounds and steer a bit more of your cash towards snowballing your money-making.

[@imnotevendutch]

I noticed that you're trying to put more emotion into your voice. It worked, don't worry, but personally I liked the calm one more. If I'm hearing voices, I'm so sorry.

[@MackanRules]

Haha yeah, for this video i changed up my tone as i needed to speak much quicker than i usually do, otherwise the video would be another 15 minutes 😅

[@ohyeahbaud5453]

The 0-2-3 farm generates 416 per round vs. the 2-0-3 farm that produces 400 per round for the same price. Not much, but 16 extra per round is worth it when you have enough to upgrade to 0-2-3 instantly. The first farm would be worth getting 2-0-3 still because you generate more per round with 2-0-0 vs. 0-2-0

[@Xeractyll]

Ben's Trojan means moabs won't spawn ceramics (especially the round 40 one). It loses a lot of money, but it also means you can spend less on defense and more on farms. Good for unpoppable but bad for bosses

[@stealthy9156]

This wasn't mentioned in the boat section, so I'm gonna assume I'm the only person in the world to know this, but the navarch of the sea acts as a 2nd trade empire. The icon displays for both towers, and I checked just to be sure in my freeplay save, and my favored trades with only 1 central market, being the 0-2-5 banana farm, made 1372$ in a single round, without being in range of anything else that might increase its income (only buffs applied are permabrew, carrier and trade empire from navarch, trade empire from the t5, the x1 tier 4 bottom path banana farm buff)

[@trainfrainebane]

This is awesome, I love this and will probably use some elements of the sweaty farming method like selling a 202 farm for a bank + my lazy farming

The IMF Strategie is if you have double cash enabled by far the best Strategie, because I managed to get 2-5-0 banana farm and a 5-2-0 daringgunner by round 40. In round 100 I got a dart, boomerang, ninja, ace and sub paragon which is just too crazy
