Summary
Sengoku Dynastyis a unique survival and city-building game that really puts your resource management into test. Running a village comes with a lot of responsibility, including getting your food production stable for the sustainability of your Villagers. If you want good satisfaction levels for your village, you need to grow the right crops.
You need to consider a few things before you decide on the crops to grow. Some crops grow all year around except for winter, while other crops need to be produced massively in a season, so you’re able to use them later. You also need enough food to sustain your village during the harsh cold weather.
1Rice
Rice is a staple ingredient of Japanese cuisine. It grows in water fields and is much easier crop to grow for beginners. Rice has multiple uses in Sengoku Dynasty, so growing some must be your top priority. It helps you keep your food production steady. If you have built a kitchen, you can make cooked rice.
Rice is also an easier food source to obtain as you can grow it in almost all seasons except winters, so you can also gather a massive amount of it for winters. You can also use it to make Sake, a traditional Japanese drink your villagers are sure to love.
2Flax And Hemp
Flax cannot be bought by traders, so you might have some trouble sourcing it. However, it’s an important crop which you can use to make clothes for your villagers. You can make linen for your villagers, and then craft some elite clothes.
After picking up Hemp and Flax in the wild, you can craft some seed bags for them, so you can grow them at your farm. It will save you the trouble of foraging them every time.
Your villagers want every facility that they can get from you, and good clothing is one of them. So you will need to grow a lot of these crops, especially during the middle and late game. You need any one of these ingredients to craft linen. You will find resource management here much easier, as you may grow them both in different seasons.
3Tea
Tea is also another essential beverage that your villagers will often demand. Assigning some farmers to work in the tea fields will be beneficial in the long-run. As they can only grow in spring, you need to produce tea massively during the spring season to enhance your beverage production.
Producing tea increases the satisfaction of your villagers preventing them from leaving. you’re able to stock some for winter, so they can enjoy a hot cup or two in the cold weather.
4Leek
Leek is a vegetable which is easier to farm. It is a vegetable, so it can be substituted as an ingredient for many dishes. You can make a vegetable meal to be consumed by your villagers.
you may also craft an excellent vegetable meal using leek alongside other ingredients like oil.
This saves you the trouble of gathering specific ingredients. Also, growing vegetables is much easier than getting a stable source of meat, so growing leek will be a lot more beneficial than you think.
5Canola
Canola is another important crop you should not overlook. Using canola, you can make some oil, which has a variety of applications. If you have a cooking spot, you can process your canola into oil from the cooking menu.
Using canola, you’re able to produce a significant chunk of oil conveniently using a few ingredients. Using oil, you can make oil lamps, which villagers can hang in their houses. It’s an easier light source to brighten up your village.
6Wasabi
Healing can be a pain in Sengoku Dynasty. Especially, when there is barely any automatic healing available in the game. So carrying some medicines is always reliable. You will lose a lot of health in combat against looters and animals.
You can ask your Foragers to collect Wasabi if you do not want to grow it.
Wasabi is a herb, which you can use to make healing items. It’s one of the easier herbs, as you can grow it in the waterfields, which do not need watering. You can prepare to grow some Wasabi during the spring and summer seasons and save it for the latter half of the year.
7Gobo
Gobo is another staple food ingredient, which is simple to prepare for cooking. The cooked gobo dish is enough to satisfy your Villagers if you have some other facilities and meals prepared for them.
Gobo is also easier to grow in the early game. It’s one of the crops whose seeds are available at the Merchant’s Shop as soon as you start your village. you’re able to produce some in almost every season and later store it as a food source for winter.
