About Farthest Frontier
Farthest Frontier tasks you with guiding a small group of settlers to build a thriving town on the edge of the known world. You must harvest resources, farm, craft, and defend your people while balancing the harsh wilderness. The game offers a deep farming system, a multi‑tiered tech tree, and customizable difficulty, letting you choose a peaceful, pacifist experience or a brutal survival challenge against raiders and disease.
01 / THE GUIDE
Harvesting Resources
Players can collect 16 raw materials ranging from wood and stone to metal ores, wild herbs, and honey. These resources feed into production chains for crafted items and trade. Harvesting is done in real time, with villagers transporting goods across the settlement to processing sites, allowing you to observe the flow of materials throughout the town.
- Prioritize abundant local resources to jump‑start production.
- Set up transport wagons early to reduce travel time for gathered goods.
02 / THE GUIDE
Advanced Farming System
The game features 12 distinct crops with unique growing traits. Players must manage soil fertility, rotate crops, and protect fields from weeds, rocks, and weather damage. By adjusting soil mixtures and removing hazards, you can maximize yields and keep the growing population well fed.
- Rotate crops each season to maintain soil health.
- Use fencing to keep deer away from vulnerable fields.
03 / THE GUIDE
Building and Advancement
Over 190 building types can be constructed, from basic shelters to advanced production facilities. As your town center upgrades, new tiers unlock in a 140‑plus point tech tree. Upgrading production buildings improves efficiency and enables the creation of higher‑tier crafted items, supporting a growing economy.
- Focus on upgrading the town center early for faster tech unlocks.
- Balance residential and production buildings to avoid bottlenecks.
04 / THE GUIDE
Defense and Raider Threats
Players may enable raider attacks or opt for a pacifist mode. Defenses progress from wooden palisades to stone walls, towers, and barracks where soldiers can be recruited and equipped. Higher prosperity attracts stronger raiders, making defensive upgrades essential for survival.
- Build walls before raider difficulty is increased.
- Recruit soldiers early to have a standing defense force.
05 / THE GUIDE
Health and Disease Control
Villagers can contract illnesses like dysentery, cholera, scurvy, tetanus, rabies, frostbite, and bubonic plague. Clean water, proper clothing, and waste management reduce outbreak risk. Building a healer’s house allows quarantine and treatment with herbs and medicine, keeping the population healthy.
- Ensure clean water sources to prevent water‑borne diseases.
- Assign rat catchers to limit plague spread.
