The Geekvale Guard Grows! | Farthest Frontier - Part 8 (Settlement Survival Game)
267Farthest Frontier continues and it's a joyous day in Geekvale as we welcome some more permanent Geekvale Guards courtesy of our new barracks! We only employ two people to begin with, because their training is quite expensive, but hopefully that'll be enough to help us defend our village from troublemakers. We also build another lookout tower to add more defence.
To make use of all the clay that we've been collecting we build a pottery and finally get some pots made! Big pots, little pots, tall pots, square pots, we've got the lot! Lovely pottery!
Our food woes seem to be improving as we find ourselves with quite a bit of food available. Our two new big fields help out a bit too, with one growing wheat and another a mixture of tasty vegetables.
We try our best to do some good trading with those traders passing through and we even manage to act as a middle-man, buying one item from one visiting trader and immediately selling it on to another for a tiny bit of profit!
Also we explore more of the map, we plant some more fruit trees and we find a very interesting swamp...
NOTE: This is the Early Access version of the game.

Key Features
Harvest, Grow, Craft - Harvest 14 different raw materials from wood, stone and clay, to metal ores, wild herbs, and honey. Grow 17 types of food, including forage items, fish and game, plus 10 food crops, each with different characteristics. Produce 32 crafted items and materials in a multi—tiered economy.
Build and Advance - Construct 50 different types of buildings as you grow your town from a fledgling settlement to a bustling city. Your town center and housing will advance through multiple building tiers as the prosperity and desirability of your town increases.
Most Detailed Farming System Ever - Strategically select from 10 crops with unique growing characteristics and configure crop rotations to maintain soil fertility, avoid heat and frost damage, and prevent the accumulation of diseases. Cultivate your fields over time, removing weeds and rocks, raising fertility and adjusting soil mixture to achieve maximum crop production to keep your growing population fed.
Advanced Town Simulation - Villagers actively live their lives and perform their jobs in real time. Watch as villagers carry goods across town from remote work-sites to be processed into materials and crafted into items. See foods and goods delivered to homes, the trade post or stored for later use.
Randomly Generated Maps - Farthest Frontier is highly replayable and no game is ever quite the same with beautiful, completely randomized terrain generation and resource distribution. Controls allow players to specify the amount of water or mountains they desire, with extreme maps leading to unique challenges.
Idyllic to Brutal - Customizable difficulty options allow players to turn off features like invaders and disease, for a more tranquil experience or max out difficulty to truly test their town-builder prowess.
Environmental Interaction - Develop your economy based on which resources are locally abundant and produce items for trade to acquire that which you lack. Erect fencing to keep deer away from crop fields and stop bears from raiding food storage.
All Them Old-Timey Diseases! - Ensure your villagers have clean water to stop outbreaks of dysentery and cholera. Collect berries and plant greens to avoid scurvy and ensure a healthy diet. Make sure villagers are properly shoed and clothed to reduce chances of contracting tetanus, rabies or frostbite. Build a healer’s house to quarantine the infected and provide herbs and medicine for treatment.
Fend Off Would-Be Invaders - Choose to play on pacifist and avoid combat altogether or engage with varying levels of raider difficulty to raise the stakes for your town’s survival. Progress from wood palisades to stone walls, build towers and barracks, recruit and equip soldiers in the defense of your town.
