Plan a Map-Specific Farming Loop
Make repeat supply runs around locations that exist on the active map and match the resources you need.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Plan a Map-Specific Farming Loop
Farm, botanist, civilian or industrial locations confirmed on your selected map; map layout determines the route.
Before you go
- The active map and access to its map screen or location information.
- A safehouse to store and process supplies.
- Inventory capacity and a specific resource goal.
Farming steps
- Choose one target, such as starter Wheat Seed or Metal Scrap, before setting out.
- Identify farm or botanist buildings for seed needs, or construction sites, garages, harbors and warehouses for scrap.
- Confirm the candidate locations exist on the active map; do not borrow a route from another map without checking.
- Mark a return path to your safehouse and leave enough inventory room for the target.
- Search the buildings relevant to the chosen resource instead of clearing unrelated locations.
- Collect the haul, then return to base and store seeds, food or scrap separately.
- Record which stops were useful and adjust the next run based on your actual results.
- The location index is useful for confirming map-specific named areas, but loot remains variable.
- Pair stops only when they are close enough on your map to keep the return practical.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat the route when the target supply is depleted. Loot runs are repeatable activities, but no location guarantees the same contents on every visit.
Common mistakes
- Assuming a site exists on every map: verify its presence in the selected map.
- Mixing too many resource goals: prioritize one target so inventory and route stay manageable.
- Treating the route as a guaranteed loot table: adapt to what the current map actually yields.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the target reserve is sufficient or the useful buildings are empty; switch to a crop plot or salvage method if it can provide the resource more reliably.
