From Rise: The Vieneo Province
A Decent Plot
If you want to build a farm the plot should be relativly flat. The steeper it is, the more it will cost you to build the expansions. It should also be at least "good" fertile soil. Range for fertility is: trace, poor, fair, good, very good, excellent.
| Note: when you start scanning plots your skill in accurately getting the correct value is not too good (i.e: a "good" plot can be scanned as "poor" or "excellent"!) You can check your current skills for a small fee in Deois Skill Office. (be aware of the office hours 9.00-12.00 13.00-17.00) |
Expanding the Farm
From now you will be able to control the farm by entering the Farmstead (menuitem 3) and opening the interactive menu with "i". Whenever you press the number in front of the building listed it will be build. There is no "do you really want to build?" question! (same goes for destruction btw) You can build as many of each buildings as are zoned. Start rightaway with the 21 fields. They are free! Press 2 and after 1 minute you will have a field. The fields get positioned randomly by the server so you dont have to worry about the layout.
What should I build next?
From now on you need to bring enough natural and fabricated materials before you can continue to expand. The needs are listed behind the building.
Also ther need to be enough colonists here. I recomment 20 while expanding and 15 for running it afterwards.
It is a good thing to have some food there for the colonists. 2mt will last them 1 season (90 earth days)
After the fields I recommend a silo. Otherwise the building materials needed for further expansion will have to be stored in the open where they corrode (fade away) or can be stolen. Each silo can store 3447mt of goods so 1 silo should be enough.
The next important thing is the support structures. They boost the effiency of the colony: no support strucures = max 50% eff. all support structures = 150% eff. To make this more clear: harvest on a 50% farm with just fields = 2mt, on a 150% arround 6mt. That is 3 times more!
next i recommend the hydrophonics because they yeld more at harvest than greenhouses.
The defence platform and the powerproduction are not working currently so you can descide for yourself if u want to build them.
With the same techniques you will be able to build Townships and Mines. Except you can't build Mines with a MuVER!
Now go out there and build them farms so the starving of the poor Vieneo colonists has an end soon!
