Farmhouse

Note: This item is a new release item and costs/details may change as the item is balanced in-game.

The Farmhouse is a new building with an auto farming feature added to ATLAS which was announced July 14 2020, and released on July 22nd 2020 Patch v407.2 which will gather resources at a slow rate from all nearby resource nodes.

Available in two versions Wood and Stone. see additional details below.

From the Update Notes
Available under the Skill Tree: Construction & Mercantilism, Esotery of Building, players can construct both Wood & Stone Farmhouses in the Smithy. Farmhouses will require at least one thatch or wood unit for fuel to start gathering resources from nearby nodes, and as long as there are thatch and wood nodes within the area, the farmhouse will continue to fuel itself. Talk about efficiency! Players will be able to determine the farming radius based on the light blue sphere during placement. Any resource with at least one node within the radius will be collected.

Additional Details:


 * Structures built within the Farmhouse radius will reduce the farming efficiency with the best efficiency number being 1.0
 * The Farmhouse has 30 slots in its inventory.
 * Resources collected in the Farmhouse inventory will stack up to 10,000 units.
 * When collecting resources, they will be distributed within the player inventory at the normal stack size.
 * Farmhouse caps at 8000 weight and will stop auto-farming when reaching this point.
 * Stone Farmhouse gathers slightly faster and is more difficult to destroy.
 * Farmhouses may not be placed within 200m of another Farmhouse.
 * Farmhouses will not remove the nodes when auto-harvesting, but if the nodes are removed by manual harvesting the resource will not be received until it respawns.

Current known differences between PVE/PVP
 * PVE - Building can be turned on/off by anyone, but the inventory can only be accessed by your company members.
 * PVP - Building is fully accessible to everyone. (Protect with walls/Puckle towers)

BEWARE : when destroyed, stacks of resources inside will be converted from 10.000 to default (vanilla = 500), meaning you have to empty it before if you don't want to lose huge amounts.
