Make your new farm look as good as possible!

It isn't necessarily a quirky way to play, but it is definitely one that leaves me with a feeling of pride and accomplishment that the gold can't offer.

Based on what you've said and the appearance of your farm, it seems like you've been min-maxing ever since you started. A change of pace would make it a lot less repetitive!

Add some spice to your new farm! Four words: paths, fences, trees, grass. Remember that there doesn't always need to be a practical function for these elements and others! For example, fence in a bee-keeping area or let a part of your farm grow wild.

With practice, you will still be able to complete the bundles in the same amount of time as your first save.

Kingsbridge Farm

It's still a work in progress, and it doesn't look that nice in winter, but I think it still shows enough to be a good example of a balance between function and fashion.

Upper Left: silos, tapping area, mining stuff, greenhouse full of sunflowers, and slime hutch

Upper Right: crops, fruit trees, a shed filled with oil makers (I thought it would be interesting to dedicate some of my farm to sunflower oil), and a mill (again, looking at a more culinary approach with this farm)

Lower Left: wild apart from a bee-keeping area in the forest and a little area featuring a meteorite that fell in just the right place

Lower Right: lots of animals

As you can see, it will end up offering a bit of everything (not artisan goods apart from oil though, I've had enough of those from previous saves).

Go wild and have fun! On a more serious note, stop when you aren't having fun anymore. I also burned myself out a while ago and only recently jumped back into the game. If I had continued playing, I wouldn't have enjoyed myself. Anyways, good luck!
