Against the Storm vs Farthest Frontier:
food priorities, farming and storage

Against the Storm

In Against the Storm, each species’ strengths and food preferences shape the production plan.

You choose whether to support a wider range of needs or give a particular species priority under the forest’s hostility.

Changing biomes, building blueprints and perks mean the production plan must fit the options available.

Exploring the forest can bring resources and boons, but also threats that compete for your attention.

Reputation advances a settlement toward success, while resources from expeditions develop the Smoldering City for later journeys.

Farthest Frontier

Farthest Frontier ties food production to the land through crop rotations, soil fertility and crop diseases.

Clearing land for farming can mean giving up wild forage or medicinal plants, so expansion changes what the surrounding land provides.

Crop choices and soil care shape the harvest.

Villagers transport goods from work sites to processing buildings, homes and storage, making roads, wagons and storage part of the supply plan.

Town and production upgrades support further development, while pacifist mode lets players leave combat out of that process.

Against the Storm

Once unlocked, Consumption Control lets you choose food access by species.

Restricting preferred food can conserve stock but reduce Resolve.

The question is which species’ needs the available production can keep meeting.

Farthest Frontier

Field Maintenance replaces planting in the rotation, trading a harvest opportunity for removing weeds and rocks.

Grain lasts longer than flour or bread but cannot be eaten raw; milling and baking make it edible but shorten its storage life.

Smoking meat, on the other hand, extends its shelf life.
