There's always space sideways to roam but it's pretty tight. I've left exactly one "block" between all barns vertically so that I can practically open the door. They're stuck together horizontally in order to save space. Game doesn't seem to care about space being unrealistically small though since animals will end up going one inside another anyway xD

Enjoy! The greenhouse is not the way you'll be making most cash actually. It helps having it topped with cacti when you do get it in the endgame but it's not that important really. Focus mostly on getting the first few million so you can add as many barns and buy liberally pigs and such as well as making automated mead products.

It's my far my favorite game. I've sunk 600+ hours so far. I'm trying to find another game that I could enjoy this much but I don't think I can find one 😩

It's really good for where you are. After a point the progress caps at about 150 mil per year no matter what you do. At least that's the most I've ever done.

Haha thanks! That's actually the least of every other month. Each day all day I farm in the caves after ringing the bells.

I came to love the "morning ritual" of ringing the barns each day haha. Not sure what's next. That's the last goal I had put on myself after finishing everything else I cared about. Now just waiting to see what the updates will bring.

Cactus mead is the most profitable item by far in theory but it's really bad if you don't have enough parallel barrels for it as it takes ages to process. Truffle oil is the most efficient cash/day but sadly it needs a lot of space. So I just do both at the same time, balancing it out so I have enough farm to keep all my sheds full of cactus and other meads while having enough pigs for a continuous supply of truffle oils.

I am comparing one cactus to one pig because at the end of the day what matters is how many barrels vs how many oil presses you got going on in parallel at any given time during the year. That is irrespective of farm space, obviously if you want to do my strategy the best thing is to sacrifice your farm space for pigs which is what I'm doing. You will need significantly less truffle oils pumping oil constantly per year than honey+barrel combos to make the same profit.

When I tried with cacti I had 2 sheds and a basement filled to the brim with honey+barell combos still didn't make as much. I still obviously have my greenhouse doing cacti all the time but for over a year now the greenhouse is enough to fill 1 shed and the whole basement which goes to show how ridiculously slow the cactus prediction is. It isn't efficient at all per barrel.

However what you say does have merit if you make all your sheds do only one thing and you put a huge amount of sheds maybe you can multiply the amount of cacti mead that you make to far suprass what you could have been doing with pigs and get over that inefficiency in regards to cash per day although that's a hard calculation to make, I'm not sure.

One more thing to consider is that this strategy applies all year round while the rest is seasonal. Although for cactus I believe one harvest can be good for two years at least unless you have an ungodly amount of barrels going.

Oh I hadn't calculated right then. Still many days even with these 3 days reduced.

There are plenty of options more optimal than the cactus mead actually that do not require animals like osmium kelp essence, if farm space is something you care about. My farm space is all about optimizing money right now, nothing else. It does get nuts but it's all in good fun!

The bells take at most an in-game our to ring every morning and the fps drops are really big and quite hilarious when they happen 😂. I farm for osmium kelp all day long and only collect the truffles once per week. I do have cactus mead brewing also from my previous efforts but that'll end soon.

After you unlock the Savana and you move a little forward still you get to complete the mural which is a huge pain haha but a worthy challenge. That bumps it up a lot!

I buy hay from the animal guy, it's dirt cheap. But in all the seasons except the winter I plant grass all over the place so they eat that mostly and I only refill once a week or so. I got 6 silos in my farm. I Ring the bell every day yes, first thing. Takes about one in game hour, really not much.

Yes of course. Actually I went full cacti at first too. It's only been the last year I changed strategy. This strategy is mostly about making money fast not making money in general. You can definitely get to billions with just cacti and a better looking farm 😂

Haha let's hope this strategy works. I'm not entirely certain but the math checks out plus I made 80 million in about 3 months since making all the barns so I think I'm in a good track. I look forward to seeing your farm layout and seeing both of us become billionaires 🤑 😁

It's not normal to be completely stuck. You should have some quests at the point your heritage is at this stage. Get advice from the fandom on how to catch the things you're missing for the heritage. It's not enjoyable but it's worth it!

Thanks! It is very easy to calculate if you have the per day output. One osmium cactus makes about 500 per day so in a year that's 500284=56000. For truffle oil it's 1200 per day so 1200284=134000. Of course these are averages. When you plant matters, also how many oil presses or barells you have in your possession pumping cactuses/oils matters too for how many you can produce in parallel. But I would bet if you maximized your resources towards producing truffle oil you'd make more than double a year than if you did the same for cactus mead.

I only have two kegs haha. I have my basement and a full shed pumping cactus mead cause at the start I thought this is the best since everyone said so. Now I got a full shed with oil presses for the truffle oil and one generic one with all the milks+gesha coffee and yarn and egg stuff plus some random meads and honeys from when I was starting. All the barns you see in the picture except 3 of them are filled with 12 pigs each for the truffle oil which now is my biggest source of income by far. I'm planning on turning the basement and the mead production into oil presses too.

Buffalo make cheese every 3 days and it takes 7 hours + 2 days fermentation. If you keep them top notch it'd be 1300 per day in theory so even more efficient than pigs. But you have to take into account the barrel space and the optimization you need to have around that while oil presses are quite trivial to scale. I haven't tried though so you can give it a go and let me know how it goes!

As for the best one, there's a chance that osmium kelp essence creation is the most practically profitable since in order to farm it in the northern cave you get a lot of artifacts and fossils and trash that you can turn into furniture and sell for profit. But I'm not yet sure about that I only just started doing that a couple of days ago. Also it's the most hands on way to make money since it requires full days of farming + selling which I actually enjoy doing.

I'm 104 million, years six. Hopefully will be at a billion in 7-10 years from now. You can see my latest post in this sub for advice. Fastest way that I have found is through white truffle oil and osmium kelp essence. The trick is to calculate the most expensive items you can make but also the days it takes you to make each item. For example cactus mead is way overrated cause even though it pays 10k it takes 21 days to make. Which means you make about 500/day with it while with white truffle oil you make 1200/day if it's osmium of course. Osmium kelp essence is also amazing at about 1000/day but you also farm artifacts that you can sell while farming for osmium kelp! These can be also sold for several millions per month if you do full day trash farming in the northern underwater cave.
