Key takeaways
  • ✓No Transporting Pal
  • ✓Berry-only diet
  • ✓One Mill for two Pots
  • ✓Breeding in a combat base

No Transporting Pal

Cake sits in the Pot and the farm goes idle. One Transporting worker fixes the whole loop.

Berry-only diet

Workers lose SAN and stop producing. Keep cooked food and beds in the same base.

One Mill for two Pots

Flour starves the pots. Scale Mills first, Pots second.

Breeding in a combat base

Alpha aggro and raid events interrupt production; keep breeding somewhere quiet.
