3rd world farmer - the RPGFollow

I'm not going to say anything about this until a few people have a chance to play.

I am trying to sell my son for some extra cash for crops but it won't let me.

You never really win at this game, you just do a little better every time.

Hehe. This game is fun :P

I somehow always end up making 190-250 bucks a year. One year I planted 6 crops and I made 244$. Another year I planted my entire field, had a wonderful harvest, and made 220$.

...what?

Also, guerillas keep taking my shovel >_> I've bought like 4 of them so far

I think my farmers live on Mercury, given the size of the sun on the horizon. No wonder they can't grow for sh[Aqua][/Aqua]it, it's got to be 700 degrees there.

Also, my farm is apparently virulent with avian flu. The chicken button should be labeled "Throw away $25".

All this game has done is make me hate refugees...

I'm getting my a$$ kicked!

In two times of playing it, I NEVER made a profit of more, or even equal to, what I spent to plant that shi't. Only time I ever made money was selling my land or dancing in a festival. Thank bob I live in America.

After one hundred rounds, my family has gone through many tribulations. Eight in the family (most you can have, apparently) with two in the city. Lost a few more due to disease, opium airstrikes, etc. Ended up with a well and shed, pig and chicken, shovel and $302. At the most I had 2x pigs/chicken, 2 wells, 2 plows, scythe and shovel, and over $900.


Scrounged up a few tips from the forum and discovered a few things that seem to work:
Buy a well early, and a second one when you have lots of extra cash - wells aren't destroyed or lost easily, and can be sold back, as insurance.
Try to keep one pig and one chicken, and always plant just one corn and one wheat. This should be your best consistent bet at around $100 per day.
I find the scythe and plow to be very helpful; the other tools not so much.
I avoid planting corn when it's over $10; I plant extra wheat if it's below $10; cotton and peanut I'll sometimes plant if they're below $20.

I noticed the same thing on my own. Namely that, if you plant a full field, you nearly go broke buying plants and after living expenses you still pull a tiny profit. If you plant just a couple plants, you pull the same profit and have savings to recoup from an economic crisis.

I was doing a two and two for corn and wheat but never saw extra profit from cotton and peanuts so I ignored them.

22 years and over 300 cash to spend with 7 kids, a whell, barn, and the 1st 3 tools.

Oh the humanity! Its a giant Chicken Bon Fire!


I swear this game gives you "Good Harvest Conditions" only when I have either 1 crop planted or none.
