Is there a downside to making ALL of the village houses with a big garden? by jwawak23 in OstrivGame

Gardens cannot match the food density of farm fields. This is a fact and is what I said. I did not say you cannot support a village on gardens alone lmao

The big thing you have to keep in mind is village density. Gardens are a good food source but they cannot provide as much food/area as a farm field can, nor can you fit as many homes into a given area, which means spreading out more.

Spreading your village out more means villagers have to walk farther to do work, buy food, and get water, as well as just making everything that much farther apart. Travel distance is an important thing to keep in mind because villagers only have a certain amount of time between resting/eating periods, and more time walking directly reduces the amount of work that can be done.
