Not sure what to start with
What do you recommend as a first production
DiscussionYes, but also grass and sheep because they're cheap to start as input for that production
That too.
30k on easy^
Depends what you're doing
Arable farming can feed in to many productions. Wheat, barley, oats, and Sorghum go into flour. Canola, sunflowers and Olives into oil. And so on
Wheat barley and Sorghum can alternatively be used to feed chickens to produce eggs, which can be sold for profit or then used as part of making cakes. But... Cakes need lots more ingredients than just that
Cut any grass fields or grasslands around fields, feed the grass to sheep and then use the wool to make clothes in a spinnery. Even better if you have multiple pens of sheep feeding two spinneries, and a cotton field that you use to make cloth at a third spinnery! Those three spinneries can produce enough fabric to feed two tailor shops with fabric to make clothes which is worth a lot of money, up to 30k per 1kL on easy economy or about 10k on hard!
There’s a ton of stuff on YouTube that answers this stuff, I recommend stuff by FarmerCop, Driver53 and LooneyFarmGuy
What do you grow? How do you like to farm?
It's hard to recommend something from nothing. Be silly to recommend a tailor if you don't have wool or cotton.
What do you recommend a production beginner I only do arable farming I want to explore production and animals
Do something that further processes something you already create. Making flour with the grain you produce is pretty easy. Or oil if you do canola or soybeans.
You can make soy bean oil?
there are mods to let you make soybean oil
Would you recommend for example having 4 fields of wheat or 2 wheat 2 soy beans
It depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Pick short and medium term goals and you'll know what to do. What are you going to use the wheat and oil for?
It depends on what you do mainly. If you just harvest without lifestock a production that processes your goods like the grain (followed by a bakery) or oil mill. If you have cows the dairy. For sheeps the spinnery. For forestry the sawmill (alternativly with Plantinum the Paper mill). And if you just do forage an biogas plant.
Cotton, spinnery, tailor. clothes sells for 11-13k per 1k liters and if you have a big enough field you can make profit. Then do grains and mowing for silage between harvests.
