Overview
The Vertical Farm is an agriculture building of the Modern Era 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 Vertical Farm belongs to the agriculture side of the city. Introduced in the Modern Era, the age of glass and the wired grid.
Gameplay
Build cost. Raising the Vertical Farm costs 900 Gold and 15 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 Vertical 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 240 Food and 0.5 Knowledge each turn, feeding Food and Knowledge into your economy.
Upkeep. It draws 8 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 Vertical 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.
