In the world ofEverafter Falls, you’ll have three different farm layout options to pick from – Standard, Mini, and Moat – and each of them has practical pros and cons to picking them besides just what looks nicer to you. There’s also no way to switch after you pick either, so you’ll want to be sure before you end up in year two and want a change.

The different layouts are going to determine how much space you have for farm upgrades, crafting machines, and what crops you’ll want to focus on growing. We’ll give you all the info you need so you know what to pick before you get deep into the game.

Standard Layout

Standard is the default farm layout, and it offersmany natural trees and grasses, but you only haveone small water pooltowards the middle of the area for fishing, sounless you use bait, youwon’t see many fish during the day.

If you’re going with this farm, you’ll have apretty massive amount of spacefor growing crops, and you can haveseveral, large-scale fields of crops at one time, or even one giant one, and it gives youmore freedom to diversify your crops.

Having a Standard farm also makes you need torely less on the Greenhousefor growing out-of-season crops, since you’ll havemore room to grow extrato save.

This layout isessentially the easiest, as you’ll also haveplenty of space for every farm upgrade, such as a barn, youwon’t need to prioritizewhich one you want first, or if you want certain ones at all, and there’smore room for farm decoratingoverall as well.

Mini Layout

Mini is pretty much asmaller version of Standard, and has afairly similar layoutoverall, with a few key differences: yourhome is more centrally located, thewater pool is smallerand closer to your house, and thenortheastern ridge is empty.

You’ll still have agood amount of spaceavailable, enough to make ahandful of smaller crop fieldsaround your home, but youaren’t going to have much roomfor farm upgrades, soprioritize the barnsince you’llwant Alpaca materialsespecially.

If you don’t mind the further walk, you canreserve the northern ridge for craftersor plantall the special treesso you have more room for crops or upgrades in the main area.

Mini isthemedium-difficulty optionas far as the layouts go. Itdoesn’t penalize you much for space, you candiversify your cropsstill, though to alesser degree than the Standard, and everything can be close by.

Moat Layout

Of the three farm types, Moat is going to be themost difficult. Your house issurrounded by a large lakeand the onlyplace you’ll have room to growcrops is thesquare of ground surrounding the moat. Thanks to this layout, you may want toforego farm upgrades you may not need, like the Greenhouse.

You can plant extra Palm Trees andput Shell Extractors down on the sandaround your home to generate additional shells besides what spawns naturally.

Thegood thing about this layoutis it offersplenty of fishing spotsthroughout the day, and this is agreat way to get some quick Goldwhile you’re waiting for crops to grow early on orstart filling up the Aquarium.

On the Moat, you’ll need tomaximize your profitsso you aren’t constantly running low on gold, especially later on when upgrades get more expensive, and the best way to do this is toprioritize quick-growing cropsas long as theyhave a decent profitto ensure you’ve got aconstant flow of Goldcoming in.
