WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Home kitchen for cooking; town Mill and Blacksmith for available dairy and ore processing.
Choose the desired result before spending ingredients. Home recipes consume their listed inputs, while some dairy and ore work uses town services such as the Mill or Blacksmith. These services take in-game time, so combine the trip with errands and keep materials reserved for upgrades, requests, or collection goals.
Access to the home cooking station or the relevant town processing service.
Exact recipe or processing ingredients in inventory or storage.
Time in the day for a town visit and processing queue where applicable.
Open the recipe or processing option and confirm the exact input items before collecting or spending them.
Check whether the output is cooked at home or requires a town service.
Reserve ingredients needed for a Museum entry, request, or tool upgrade.
Bring dairy to the Mill or ore to the Blacksmith when that service handles the desired output.
Start processing and account for the in-game time it uses; fit nearby errands into the visit.
Collect the finished result when available and use it for the intended request, gift, or recipe chain.
Ship or store the remaining output after the goal is satisfied.
Farming tips
Town processing is not instantaneous in the day plan; avoid scheduling a long mine run around an uncollected queue.
Keep upgrade ore and recipe ingredients in separate reserves before processing.
Repeat, collect and use
Cooking and processing can be repeated when ingredients and service access are available. Each batch consumes its inputs, and town service time remains part of the loop.
Common mistakes
Assuming every good is made at home sends you to the wrong station; check the processing option first.
Using reserved ore or dairy can block an upgrade or request; separate required stock before starting.
Ignoring processing time can crowd out other errands; start it when the trip fits your day.
When to stop or switch
Stop processing once the intended output quantity is ready; switch back to gathering inputs if another batch would consume materials reserved for progression.
