Volcanic acre

Fields and meadows Obsidian farm

The volcanic field is a necessary basic building on the Obsidian farm that you simply have to build, but I'd rather keep the money for quick upgrades for other buildings, because the harvest yield doesn't change with the level.

What it's for

Volcanic acres grow crops that you can use for various production processes.

Produces

Rye

The volcanic field is the basic cultivated plot on the Obsidian farm, where you harvest rye, saffron, sage and tomatoes, and later king salmon as well. You only get to the farm at player level 114, so this is a later layer of content, not something you meet at the start. It takes up a fairly large 8x8 area, so it's worth planning how many of them you'll keep on the Obsidian farm. It's the entry point of this farm's whole economic cycle - without the harvest from here you have no materials to process further in the buildings that follow. It suits anyone who has unlocked the Obsidian farm and wants a regular supply of basic materials from it.

When to build it

Build it the moment the Obsidian farm opens up at level 114 - it's one of the first buildings, and without it production on the farm won't get going at all. There's no point waiting for a higher level, because without a field you have nothing to process. It pays to have several at once, ideally two or three, so you always have something to harvest and aren't waiting on one single crop - exactly how many depends on your free space and on which material your other buildings demand the most.

Is it worth upgrading

According to the production table, the amounts and times for the basic crops (23 rye in 30 minutes, 45 saffron in 48 minutes, 75 sage in 1 hour 20 minutes, 28 tomatoes in 10 minutes) are the same at the highest level as at level 1. You will pay far more, though - from 4000 at level 1 the upgrade price jumps to as much as 800 000 obsidian dollars at level 6, the build time stretches from 15 minutes to 21 hours and the building gradually takes up to 18 workers instead of the original 8. Upgrading the field therefore mainly makes sense because the higher levels are tied to a higher player level (up to 214), not because they would bring you more material out of the same harvest.

Tip from a veteran player If you come across special rye, saffron or sage seed, use it - out of a single one you get something like 288 rye in 5 hours instead of the usual 23 rye in 30 minutes, so one long batch saves you a lot of clicking.

Most common mistake The most common mistake is putting the upgrade off for later on the assumption that a higher level pays off more - but by the game's own numbers the yield per harvest doesn't change, so big investments into upgrades without a real need for a second field are wasted.
