Overview

The Synthesis Farm is an agriculture building of the The Beyond that feeds the city: it converts land and labour into a steady food supply that keeps the population fed and growing.

As a Agriculture structure, the Synthesis Farm belongs to the agriculture side of the city. Introduced in The Beyond, the era of arcologies and the orbital dawn.

Gameplay

Build cost. Raising the Synthesis Farm costs 2 Gold and 30 Energy. Plan the spend against your current stockpiles before you commit the plot.

Footprint. It occupies a 2x2 plot, so leave room on the map before you place it.

Height. The Synthesis Farm can rise to 4 floors, so its value is not only the footprint on the street but the vertical capacity you can stack above it.

Output. Once built it produces 600 Food and 1 Knowledge each turn, feeding Food and Knowledge into your economy.

Upkeep. It draws 16 Energy in upkeep every turn whether or not it is producing, so weigh the running cost against the benefit.

Interior & support

Use the Extractor Yard support view for the Synthesis Farm. Its interior support uses the field-and-barn loop: crews tend the plot, move the harvest, and keep the food line visible without turning the page into a separate minigame guide.
