Beginner’s Guide in Farthest Frontier

In the main menu, you are going to choose your difficulty from Pioneer(easy), Trailblazer(medium), and Vanquisher(hard). Next, you can the terrain; each of them also has difficulties, from easy to hard. You can also choose to play in Pacifist Mode, which will disable combat.

Starting a Town

The first thing that you are going to do is to place your town hall. These are the things to consider where to place your town hall:

• You want it to be near basic resources
• You can build on a hilly area, but it is hard to build around it
• Always remember where the basic resources are. For example, a deer resource might be in danger since placing the town hall will produce a fog of war.

To easily harvest an area, press the harvest resources or hotkey H, then drag around an area with the town hall at the center. Press play, and the citizens will then harvest the highlighted resources.

Located at the top bar is the progression of the year. It shows the different seasons that your town is going to experience from spring to winter. Gather resources to survive the first year.

It is advised to not build a farm in your first year since completing it takes time; it would then be winter season once it’s finished.

You can rotate buildings by pressing the tab key.

Here are some tips you can do to start off your town after building the town hall:

• Prioritize building a hunter cabin to get food
• Build a dirt road around the town center
• Extend the ends of the dirt road
• Build a Firewood Splitter near the town hall
• Build at least 8 houses with 2 space gaps to allow space for designs
• Connect the roads
• Build a well next to the Firewood Splitter
• Build a Forager Shack close to foraging sources
• Build a Fishing Shack
• If your well runs out of water, salvage or relocate to replenish the water
• Build a Smokehouse to stop food from spoiling, and place it near the hunter cabin and forager shack
• Accept settlers even if you lack food
• Add another worker to the firewood splitter

• Build a second hunter cabin
• Build a saw pit away from the houses
