The Field is one of the Buildings in the game Forest Village.
The Field allows you to grow several crops which produce food and resources:
Standard Crops[]
- Flax: Used to make Light Clothes in the weaver's workshop, in addition to wool => Warm Clothes.
- Grass: It is a renewable resource of hay, which is used as a building material in several buildings.
- Oats: Are used to feed chickens in the coops.
- Potato: It is a vegetable food, which is used to Bake Pies or feed on your villagers as it is.
- Wheat: Yields Grain which can be made into Bread and is needed to make flour at the mill which is used for Baking pies.
Size[]
To maximize the efficiency of your of your fields, it is recommended to design your farms considering the amount of farmers used in the field.
- The number needed is shown in GOLD when you are laying out the field
- 7 potatoes per a field, 3 of any others per a field. Therefore, 13x15 field will produce (13-2)x(15-2)*7 = 11x13x7 = 1001 Potatoes or 429 of any others.
- Note: substract 2 from field length because fences occupy cells of periphery.
- For 1 farmer, the maximum field size is 11×17. It will produce 945 Potatoes or 405 of any other crops assuming one harvest per season.
- For 2 farmer, the maximum field size is 15×18. It will produce 1456 Potatoes or 624 of any other crops assuming one harvest per season.
- Other research has found that the following field sizes are optimal in terms of maximizing the amount of land that can be worked by each farmer.
- The feudal "Are" is 1/100th of a Hectare. (An Acre is .4 Hectares)
Field Size | Max Workers | Ares | Ares/Worker |
---|---|---|---|
10 x 19 | 1 | 136 | 136 |
13 x 21 | 2 | 209 | 104.5 |
14 x 25 | 3 | 276 | 92 |
14 x 31 | 4 | 348 | 87 |
21 x 24 | 5 | 418 | 83.6 |
20 x 29 | 6 | 486 | 81 |

NOTE: for startup, build fields of size 13x14, adjacent to a house, barn and well; you will be able to harvest your whole field in time with a yield of approx. 900
Hints[]
- A Scarecrow will improve the field's yield (growing rate).
- A nearby well will also improve yields as farmers can irrigate their crops more effectively.
