In The Wandering Village, food is survival. Among the many food sources available, berries stand out as one of the most reliable and efficient options. Why? They ignore temperature constraints and grow year-round—making them an infinite food source that doesn’t falter when the climate shifts. This short guide will show you how to design a 100% efficiency berry plantation that will serve as the cornerstone of your village’s food production.

Why Berries Are the Best

Unlike crops that depend on suitable biomes, berries grow in all temperatures. This means they remain productive in harsh biomes like deserts and jungles, where farms can fail. Additionally, berry gatherers automatically harvest bushes, making the process more efficient than micromanaging farms.

If set up correctly, a well-managed berry plantation can supply your village indefinitely, acting as a consistent buffer against hunger—even when you forget to change your crop types for the biome.

The Simple but Overlooked Trick: Berry Isolation and Growth Control

To maximize berry gatherer efficiency, plan your berry plantation layout from the beginning. When you first spot a dense patch of berries, follow this process:

1. Build your Berry Gatherer directly beside the bushes.
   • This ensures the building starts with the highest possible efficiency from day one.
2. Enclose the area with dirt roads.
   • These roads act like a perimeter fence, trapping the berries inside a designated zone.
   • Berry bushes only spread within the enclosed area, ensuring that any new growth appears close enough to be harvested.
3. Keep at least three tiles of open land between one berry gatherer’s area and the next.
   • This spacing prevents overlap and maintains individual efficiency per gatherer.

Over the course of several days, you’ll notice a self-contained berry plantation forming. The more bushes that grow within your gatherer’s radius, the higher the building’s efficiency becomes—reaching toward 100% with optimal spacing.

Critical Support: Toxic Protection

Don’t let your hard work go to waste. Toxic gas events can infect berry bushes, and once contaminated, they spread quickly. To prevent this:

• Place Decontaminators directly beside your berry plantation.
  • These units respond immediately to contamination.
  • Fast response prevents the infection from spreading and preserves your food source.

This combination—layout planning and hazard protection—creates a highly sustainable system.

Final Thoughts

This method is often ignored by newer players who rush into placing structures without considering long-term logistics. But if you take the time to isolate and shape your berry patches, you’ll have a renewable, self-expanding, temperature-proof food solution. Add decontaminators for security, and you’ve got one of the best foundations for survival in The Wandering Village.

Plan smart, plant smart, and keep your villagers well-fed no matter where the journey takes you.
