Silk Sweatshops (And high efficiency set-ups)

Somewhere around 5-10 per circle for a full harvest cycle I think. It is just a guess, I never took notes to calculate the average.

If you can test next harvest, would be appreciated.

Tell you what : Give me a few days to set it up properly and I'll test a full circle of carrots and gave you the exact number of wax and time needed for the complete cycle of growing with the acceleration of the beehive.

I am interested in the answer too.

Thank you. We must do science, for the ones who are still alive. (Sux2bdead)

I think I'll test catching carrots in the earliest stage and see if it works good.

One thing to consider is that many people have claimed higher quality with a variety of crops vs just one. So making it each circle has every type of crop might increase the quality.

Indeed, for now just looking for wax output though.

Guess you can do Beet and Carrots since both grow fast and should be top Q so it wont dilute your wax Q

Those pavement "cross-hairs" are wasting a lot of plantable tiles.

[SuchANerd]

Yes I know. A full circle is 4 * 135 tiles = 540 crops.

But like you said, there is those 4 * 13 paved lines ( 52 tiles ) that could be harvested too. So a full beehive radius is in fact a potential 592 crops per circle (540 + 52).

But well... the circles were not designed for anything else then my own fun at the beginning, so I added the paved lines for easy walking and aesthetics. Plus, as an hermit with 1080 tiles to farm I have plenty too eat already with a design like that ^^ And it is a lot of work.

Someone in a village with several people might wanna change that, indeed.

Anyway, the inital preparation has been made (gathering 540 carrots and preparing enought cupboards for the output of 1.5K carrots) so I guess I'll start the experiment tomorrow.

I care much more about aesthetics than I do efficiency, but this little layout has served me well.



Extra fields are holdovers from previous worlds where farming gave amazing LP, but can still be very functional with hemp/wheat when you need to pump out a ton of straw dolls/mansions/banners.
