Orchard

An orchard is used to grow fruit and nut trees. An orchard is variable sized. Orchards need farmers to plant, care for, and harvest the fruit and nuts.

During the harvest, when the workers inventory is full, they'll return the crops to the nearest storage barn.

You can enable and disable work at the orchard by pressing the work button. No planting, harvest, or caring for the trees will occur in the orchard if it is disabled.

If you want to change the type of tree growing in the field, or cut all the trees for wood, you can press the cut button.

The Food Limit control sets the food resource limit. Once the limit is reached, no more food will be produced.

Between planting and harvesting workers will tend the field and help the fruit trees grow. During the winter, the farmers will act as general laborers.

If the weather turns cold early, the fruit and nuts may be ruined. Additionally, orchards can develop infestations that will kill the trees. When this occurs, the fruit can be harvested early. Cutting down all the trees and changing the tree growing in the orchard will help stop the infestation from reoccurring.
