current goals

• Four large greenhouses on the expanded part of my farm (tea, wheat, rice, sugar cane)
  • It might make sense to start with four small greenhouses because the large ones are so expensive
• Larger orchard area to the left of my house
  • Row of each type of tree
• Small barn just for horses + large coop for rabbits & capybaras
  • Doesn’t make sense to do this until I’ve finished unlocking all the skills from the Caldarus statue, because I would really need a steady supply of essence stones to keep up with caring for all the livestock
• +1 house upgrade
• Decorate the area in front of the Caldarus statue

essence stones

My eventual goal is to have essence stones powering my entire farm so I can spend all my time foraging, mining, and fishing. I know this will take a lot of essence stones, though — and I haven’t finished unlocking all my skills yet, so right now, I’m just using essence stones in each barn/coop so I don’t have to manually pet my livestock every day.

I’m thinking I’d need about:

• 4 for greenhouses
• 6 for seasonal crops
• 5 for coops & barns
• 5 for crops to feed livestock
• 20 total essence stones

If I want to use giant essence stones, which last for 40 days, I’d need 1600 total stones and 4000 essence. Which is a crazy amount, but I’d have 40 whole days to get it for each cycle.

Need to figure out how much stone + essence I tend to get on average when I spend a day mining to give me an idea of how many days I’d have to spend mining to maintain this. If it’s unrealistic, I could maybe just not use essence stones for seasonal crops.
