The short version

A slightly smaller team with short food routes, enough beds and dependable recovery will outperform a crowded base full of interrupted workers.

Before you begin

One bed per active worker
Stocked feed box
Reliable food chain
Hot spring access
Short walking routes
Spare food reserve

Cover the non-negotiables

  • Provide a bed for every deployed worker before raising the active count.
  • Keep the feed box stocked with a meal the farm can replace reliably.
  • Place recovery close enough that using it does not become an expedition.

Build a complete food loop

  • Cover Planting, Watering and Gathering before adding a second plantation.
  • Place food storage near the farm and worker traffic.
  • Keep a reserve so one missing worker does not empty the feed box immediately.

Scale support before labor

  • Add beds, food throughput and recovery capacity before deploying new workers.
  • Watch for repeated hunger trips that interrupt specialist jobs.
  • Use a smaller stable team while redesigning a base that cannot support its current population.
