Plan your next Farlanders session
Our independent guide helps you deepen your understanding of Farlanders’ core systems without relying on hidden shortcuts. By observing how each mechanic interacts, you can craft more resilient colonies and enjoy the game’s procedural variety.
01 / THE GUIDE
Assess Placement Bonuses
Create a small test colony focusing on wind turbines near mountains versus flat terrain. Record electricity output differences to see how placement directly influences production.
- Group farms near water sources to maximize fertility.
- Place wind turbines near mountains for increased electricity output.
02 / THE GUIDE
Compare Surface vs Underground Yields
Develop two parallel resource lines—one on the surface, one underground. Track mineral extraction rates to determine when digging becomes more advantageous.
- Explore underground early to locate rare minerals.
- Balance surface and underground development to avoid over‑extension.
03 / THE GUIDE
Terraform Tile Outcome Log
Place water drop tiles in both canyon and flat locations across several turns. Note the resulting terrain changes to understand the preset shapes and avoid ice.
- Test tile placement on a small area before committing.
- Use canyon locations for water drops to ensure fertile terrain.
04 / THE GUIDE
Weather Impact Observation
Play multiple sessions, each with differing weather patterns. Observe how crop yields and solar power fluctuate, then adjust building placement accordingly.
- Adapt your early strategy to the initial map layout.
- Monitor weather changes to adjust resource production.
05 / THE GUIDE
Steam Feature Utilization Review
Enable Cloud saves, test controller input, and share the game via Family Sharing. Document any workflow improvements to maximize platform conveniences.
- Enable Cloud sync to protect progress across devices.
- Try controller support if you prefer hands‑free navigation.
