Doloc Town Farming Automation Guide (1.0)

Automation has three layers: energy, stations and drones. Each layer feeds the next, so build in this order.

1. Harness solar and wind power

   Build solar panels and wind turbines to generate clean energy. Solar shines in clear weather; wind keeps producing through storms — a mix is the safest early setup.

2. Build farming drone stations

   Stations are the control points that let drones run farm operations. They consume energy, so size them to your power output.

3. Assign automated tasks

   Drones handle seeding, nurturing plants and gathering yields end-to-end. Start with one repetitive chore (watering) and expand.

4. Free up your time

   While drones work, explore, talk to townsfolk or push the story — this is the point of the whole system.

Your weather pattern decides the optimal first build.

• Clear-weather seasons favour solar panels — cheap and predictable.

• Storm-heavy months favour wind turbines — they never idle.

• A mixed array keeps energy stable through the year and powers a bigger station network.

• ⚠️ Exact build costs and energy values are being verified in 1.0.

Automation is not only for crops.

1. Start the generator in the industrial area

   This powers the new conveyor-belt production line added in 1.0.

2. Build conveyor belts

   Move materials automatically between stations and storage.

3. Unlock previously unreachable areas

   The industrial line grants access to new parts of the map and new resources.

A rough order that most players report working — verify exact costs in your save.
