Overview

A depleted Farm must be rebuilt before it can produce food again. Players can pay the reseed cost manually or enable automatic reseeding at a Mill, which uses available resources to keep Farms working.

How this system affects decisions

Economic systems are shaped by worker travel, access to safe resource sites, and the time spent gathering versus building or moving. Compare a change by how many workers it affects and how long it remains useful, then balance it against the food, wood, gold, and population required to keep the army active.

How to use this reference

A depleted Farm must be rebuilt before it can produce food again. Players can pay the reseed cost manually or enable automatic reseeding at a Mill, which uses available resources to keep Farms working. The mechanic affects the pace at which resources can be gathered, exchanged, or spent. Compare its immediate cost with the production or research it delays, especially before an Age advance.
