Banana orchard

Orchards Island farm

The banana plantation gives you the most fruit in one go of all the island plantations, but it asks for the most fertilizer and the most patience – it pays off once your supply chain is running.

What it's for

Island fertilizer will help your bananas grow and you'll get tropical leaves as a by-product. Island fertilizer is made from dung collected from the island farm stables.

Produces

Bananas

Tropical fallen leaves

The banana plantation is the most demanding and at the same time the most rewarding of the three island plantations – one cycle takes 11 hours and uses 100 units of island fertilizer, but at maximum level you pull over a thousand bananas out of it in one go. It takes up 8x8 and it's a plantation for players who already have fertilizer production running, not for the very start on the Island farm. Thanks to the long cycle it's mainly suited to harvesting once a day, overnight for example. Alongside bananas it also gives tropical leaves for the composter.

When to build it

I'd build the banana plantation third in line, after the mango and coconut ones, because 100 units of fertilizer per cycle is the highest demand of all the plantations and you won't keep it fed without a properly upgraded silo. It pays off mainly once you have a steady surplus of island fertilizer and want to trade it for a long cycle harvested once a day, which plans nicely around logging in morning and evening.

Is it worth upgrading

Just like with the other plantations, the input of 100 units of fertilizer and the 11 hour time don't change with level, while the banana yield rises from 450 to 1125 units at maximum, two and a half times again for free. Tropical leaves go up from 24 to 33 units as well. Given how long the cycle is here, the upgrade pays off all the more – the higher the level, the more bananas from each single run per day.

Tip from a veteran player Set the banana plantation up to be harvested before you go to bed or before you leave for work – an eleven hour cycle is made for running down while you're away from the computer.

Most common mistake The typical mistake is building the banana plantation too early, with the silo still underupgraded, so the plantation just keeps waiting for the next batch because fertilizer is missing.
