A must-build as soon as you get it, because without workers you cannot get any production building going - you just have to keep an eye on happiness so it does not slip away.

What it's for

A cozy tropical fishing boat converted into a surprisingly spacious residence for many workers.

The Tropical house boat is a house you will find on the Main farm, the Gourmet farm and the Flower farm, and it serves purely to house workers - it produces no materials at all. It takes up a 5x5 area and holds 15 residents at the first level, 65 at the tenth. You do not get it by buying it in the shop but some other way, for instance by completing a quest or as part of a farm, so you have no direct control over acquiring it. It is meant for players who are running out of free workers for their production and processing buildings.

When to build it

Once you get it, from player level 29, it is worth building as soon as possible, because workers are the bottleneck of almost every farm. But expect unhappiness - even the first level knocks the mood on the farm down by 35 points, so have decorations or fancy housing ready before you build it to balance that out.

Is it worth upgrading

Upgrading pays off whenever you need more workers and have a happiness buffer on the farm. Capacity grows from 15 residents at level 1 to 65 at level 10, but happiness falls alongside it from -35 to -255, so every upgrade makes that toll heavier. The most expensive jump, from 26 000 000 to 48 000 000 dollars between levels 9 and 10, only makes sense once you have decoration building under way too, otherwise it will just upset your farm.

Tip from a veteran player Before you upgrade the house boat, work out how many decorations or fancy buildings you will need to balance out the new unhappiness - that way you avoid a period where you have more people but production is more expensive because of a grumpy farm.

Most common mistake The most common mistake is building or upgrading houses in bursts without regard to happiness - the farm then has more workers, but production costs shoot up and the player does not know why.
