Farthest Frontier how to get food and not starve

Farthest Frontier: How to Get Food Early to Prevent Starvation

One of the biggest challenges when starting Farthest Frontier is getting enough food to prevent your citizens from starving. When starting out, you’ll have a decent cache of food, but it’ll quickly deplete. Fortunately, you should be able to get enough food in the beginning if you concentrate your efforts down certain avenues.

How to get enough food starting out in Farthest Frontier

You’ll need to concentrate on living off the land to get enough food in your first year in Farthest Frontier. You’re not going to have enough time to plow a field and grow a staple crop and turn it into food before the winter. But, nature’s bounty should be enough to keep you going.

Your first move should be to build your town center in an area that has enough resources to support you. We recommend you choose somewhere with a source of water nearby, as fishing can give you an early edge.

In our settlement, we started by harvesting any berries we could find first. Once you move up the tech tree enough, you should build a forager hut, but wait to make a hunter’s lodge and fisherman’s hut until you have a smokehouse.

The smokehouse is your secret weapon when it comes to storing food in your first year. In Farthest Frontier, food has to be preserved, or it’ll rot, and meat smoking is your first method of doing this. If you can quickly advance and build a smokehouse, you can get hunting and fishing up and running by summer or fall. If you can accomplish this, you should start generating more than enough food to last the winter.

You’ll quickly find yourself overhunting and overfishing if you try to depend on them solely for sustenance. As such, once winter passes, you’ll want to continue gathering berries, carving out space for farmland, and do your best to transfer to a primarily agrarian society as quickly as possible.
