Advanced Farming Optimization

💡 Pro Tip: Income Efficiency

Always calculate your income per dollar invested. Early game, prioritize items with payback times under 2 minutes. Late game, focus on items that generate over $1000/second even if they take longer to pay back.

Time-Based Strategies

  • Peak Hours (3-8 PM): Use defensive strategies, servers are crowded and competitive
  • Off-Peak Hours (Late night/Early morning): Perfect for aggressive raiding, fewer experienced players
  • Weekend Farming: Expect more casual players, good for moderate raiding
  • Weekday Sessions: More serious players, focus on efficiency and defense

Economic Timing

  • Early Game (0-$100K): Focus on high-efficiency items, avoid expensive purchases
  • Mid Game ($100K-$10M): Balance efficiency with total income, start considering defense
  • Late Game ($10M+): Prioritize total income and security, efficiency becomes less important
  • End Game ($100M+): Focus on secret items and multiplier optimization

Defensive Farming Setup

For players choosing the turtle strategy, here's the optimal defensive setup:

  1. Base Location: Choose corners or elevated positions with limited access points
  2. Wall Priority: Upgrade walls to maximum level before buying expensive items
  3. Door Strategy: Always lock doors, consider multiple door layers
  4. Item Placement: Keep highest value items furthest from entrances
  5. Escape Routes: Always have a back exit planned

Aggressive Farming Tactics

For raiders, these techniques maximize your stealing potential:

  • Target Selection: Look for players with high-value items but weak defenses
  • Timing Attacks: Strike when players are distracted or AFK
  • Quick Escapes: Always have an exit strategy before entering someone's base
  • Tool Usage: Invest in lockpicks and other raiding tools
  • Distraction Tactics: Use chat or fake friendliness to lower guard

⚠️ Risk Management

Never carry more than 50% of your total wealth in stealable items. Keep emergency funds in secure investments. If you're being targeted, consider server hopping or temporary defensive play.
