Spring

Summer

Autumn

Winter

A long time ago, (on a server far, far away), I uploaded the Spring screenshot of my completed farm. It took me a long time to get round to the Summer, Autumn and Winter screenshots, even delaying updating to 1.6 to not change anything!

I’m very pleased with Ambridges farm. It’s my first and only completed playthrough, and the final farm layout started life as a show of fish ponds, and developed to include just about everything that can be on the farm.

I’ll put a few more notes in the comments.

Well, with the new .ee community, now seems a good time to get up an post my farm, all four seasons! I hope you like it :-)

(Edit: I just saw that files on Catbox can’t be reached from a bunch of countries. Not sure if the Lemm.ee proxying gets around that? If someone could let me know, then I can try and find somewhere else to upload the images. Any suggestions for a good image host?)

    Since I’m so proud of my farm, I’ll put some more notes here to share the fun I had.

    (By the way, does anyone know why there’s a big banner for the main image saying, “Attention Required, Cloudflare”? Maybe that’ll go away.)

    This was my first playthrough. I tried to play mostly without spoilers, but later on I used a lot of predictor and checkup to get things like the final museum artifacts. I also used the farm planner to work out where to plant for giant vegetables - by this time the layout was mostly complete so I couldn’t just plant a whole farm of pumpkins and wait for a month!

    • Actually I think I tried that first, in four corners where I had a little space, but then used the planner to see if I’d actually get anything within a year!
    • It was also single player. The cabins I added at the end to show some friends around.

    It’s functional too. The curved path of trees has tappers, one shed has kegs for alcoholic income, and the greenhouse is full of deluxe fertilizer to grow all crops to iridium quality. I can’t display all the fish in ponds, but my house has every kind of fish in tanks, and between the plaza chests in the middle, and the top left shed, I believe I have at least one of practically every item or crop. (Only from v1.5 though.)

    Also,

    • You can see who I married, not only by the top-right spouse’s cubbyhole, but the central plaza feature in her honour. Sadly it looks like I didn’t catch her outside for a screenshot.
    • The display at the top right is a sort of seasonal display for visitors (or customers?). Too bad the NPCs never actually come to visit!
    • No other maps/buildings are worth showing off, but I had some fun with them. Ginger island is currently growing a crop of some hundreds of sweet gem berries.
    • The animals are all named, but I want to share just my four rabbits: Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter.
    • And you’ll see my proudest achievement just left of the house. Still haven’t got its twin from JunimoKart, but I got so nearly there one time.
    • Finally you’ll see some mahogany trees shifted a bit after Spring. I got a second meteor, and had to decide whether to break it up and replant the trees, or tear more down to incorporate it.

      What farm planner do you use? My current play-through is animal-based so I’m throwing down coops and barns wherever.
