Farmhouse – Goodgame Big FarmFarmhouse – Level 1

Farmhouse

Farmhouse Island farm

It's one of the few buildings on the Island farm where upgrading has no downside at all, so I'd push it up first.

What it's for

The farmhouse determines the construction speed on your farm and is home to several workers.

The farmhouse is the core building of the Island farm, the one that sets the construction speed on that farm and also houses some of your workers. It stands on an 8x6 plot and it's there from the start, so you don't buy it or build it from scratch, you only upgrade it step by step. It has four levels, with the number of residents growing from 17 at level one to 28 at level four. You pay for it in island dollars, so its development is tied purely to how you run things on the Island farm.

When to build it

Since it's a starter building, what you're dealing with here is upgrading rather than building, and you should do it as soon as you start piling up island dollars on the Island farm. There's only one on the farm, so there's no decision about how many to put down.

Is it worth upgrading

Upgrading is worth making a priority, because construction speed affects absolutely everything else you build or improve on the Island farm, and on top of that every level adds capacity for more residents, from 17 through 21 and 24 up to 28. Upgrade times grow from 1 hour 40 minutes at level two to 6 hours at level four, so it's not a drawn-out investment compared to what it brings.

Tip from a veteran player Upgrade the farmhouse before you launch into a wave of upgrades on the other buildings on the Island farm, because faster construction then adds up on every building that follows.
Most common mistake Players often deal with the visible production buildings first and leave the farmhouse at level one, which needlessly stretches out the wait on everything else they build on the farm.
