I had a couple of play troughs now, and I didn't have any big issues with the farming aspect. It all comes down to plan and execute it well. No problem with understanding how farming works or how to shift from beats to wheat, or how the kitchen works in regards to the beats and berry's.
: One thing I'm curious about is: when using a farm - how many plots did you add? How many farmers did you employ in a farm?
I tried to tinker with the amount of plots, from a small amount, medium to full added plots. This to see if there was any difference in efficiency, but I think there is none. If I have enough villagers I always use three farmers in each farm. Normally I rush and build two or three farms right at the start, depending on the map starting area. Then as fast as possible I ad three air wells, and later on a couple of more air wells (water is key to success). I also sometimes build one or two berry gatherers, and then later on when I get one or two more farms I remove the berry gatherers.
I would like to see in the full game more options for different kind of plants/vegetables, maybe some sort of animal farming would be possible, that would be neat. More recipes connected to the different plants in regards to the kitchen. I would also love to see an option for some kind of equipment upgrades for the farmers, better tools like a sickle, hoe, shovel, irrigation system, and maybe a plow. Things that increase the farms yield in crops and how fast things grow.
