Beach almonds

Orchards Gourmet farm

A handy supplementary orchard for the Gourmet farm, but because of the price in gold you do not build it on impulse - it makes sense once you have your fertilizer production sorted.

What it's for

Fertile beach orchard that is charged by the positive vibrations of a lovely summer day

Produces

Almonds

Fallen leaves

Beach almonds is a 6x6 orchard on the Gourmet farm that, at the end of the farming cycle, turns fertilizer from the silo into almonds and leaves for the composter. Unlike regular orchards you do not buy it for dollars but for 50 000 gold, so it is more of an optional investment for players who already have their fertilizer production up and running. It takes up quite a bit of space on the farm and needs at least 5 workers to run, rising to 23 at higher levels. It suits players who want a steady source of almonds and leaves for the composter on the Gourmet farm.

When to build it

The orchard only unlocks at player level 24, so you cannot build it before then. It pays off once you have a surplus of fertilizer from the silo on the Gourmet farm and you are missing an outlet for almonds or leaves for the composter. Because the price is in gold, one is enough - you would only build a second identical orchard if the output of one could not keep up with the consumption of the buildings downstream.

Is it worth upgrading

Upgrading is definitely worth it, because production grows faster with level than the demand for workers. While at the first level you get 216 almonds from 10 units of super fertilizer, at the maximum ninth level it is 474 almonds for the same 4 hours and the same input. Similarly with premium fertilizer and regular fertilizer the yield goes from 180 to 400 units. The upgrade price rises steeply though (from 465 000 to 21 000 000 dollars) and the last level also only unlocks at player level 140, so you will more likely max it out in the late game.

Tip from a veteran player The top seaweed fertilizers (L, XL, XXL) are processed instantly, with no waiting, and you get bonus XP for them on top, so it pays to feed them into this orchard first whenever you have a surplus.

Most common mistake Players often forget that the orchard uses more workers with every level, from 5 up to 23, and then they are short of people for other buildings on the same farm.
