The Best Farm in DST

In DST there are tons of different types of farms. In this video, I argue my case for what I believe to be the overall best farm in the game.

[lardee]

Important Note(s)/Correction(s):
1. Like mentioned in the video, this is my opinion. Depending on your priorities, character or playstyle, you may find more value in other food farms than the one I described.
2. Since the behavior of bees changes throughout the seasons, I should have mentioned Winter and Spring. Even though bees will stop actively producing honey during winter, the honey farm provides so much food and honey takes such a long time to spoil that simply doing two harvests in a row or spending the day harvesting honey once before winter will produce more than enough honey to keep you fed for the entire season. Bees become hostile during spring, but the honey farm still works since you're moving so quickly that they still can't catch up to you (check the link in the description for proof of this).
3. This video is strictly comparing farms that produce food resources. In the broader sense, farms can produce much more than consumables, however it becomes very difficult to compare the value of food items (that basically boil down to hunger, health, sanity and spoilage time) to non-food resources.
4. @2:15 I state that Jelly Salad is a goody, but this is not true. Jelly Salad is considered meat which means Wurt cannot eat it. Thanks to chrisgw5360 for pointing this out.
5. After reading some comments about honey as an ingredient for Banana Shakes and reviewing the video, I think I should clarify that honey is not required to make this crockpot dish. You can use other things like berries, kelp or even twigs instead. However the reason I proposed using honey instead is because, with the honey farm featured in this video, IMO honey is cheaper than all of those other fillers including twigs considering you can get 80+ per day by spending just 30 seconds picking the stuff.

I really found funny how raw honey is just... a slop of honey, the survivors are litetally carrying it not even in a jar, in their pockets, and going Winnie Pooh style feasting.

[chirsgw]

Jelly salad is meat. Not a goodie. Wigfrid can eat it but wurt can't

2:54 What the hell. I've been playing for years and never heard of that mechanic

[andreavasile]

I do agree 100%. I always build bee boxes because honey has so much value, and can help character that can struggle with the classic "meals" (warly, woormwood, wurt)

The map station can be used to....


YOU CAN DO THAT???? I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I JUST USED REPEAT BLUEPRINTS AND SKETCHES AS FIRE

Great video! I love the details you go into when explaining things.

I see we're not a based StoneFruit enjoyer

I got into Honey Farming in DST thanks to you, Lardee. My current record so far is 1350 units of Honey before first Winter. As Willow

>make enough food to feed the entire server

Sure not the most efficient but its the easiest

I have always hated the spoilage, that's why honey farm is my favorite. On top of that, honey is simply too good to be true, being a filler and a sanity crackpot food. Only problem is, that the farm needs to be somehow away from the main base area, or else bees will be rather annoying in spring.

Really love your content, whenever I watch any of these vids I find myself with better understanding of the game and it's easier for me to survive!! thanks

[camanuvonkeque]

Clicking and commenting early to help you grow at least a little.
But the vids is going to be great for sure!

I like to harvest my honey during every winter so I can just ignore the angry bees. If I need food in a pinch, I go to my lureplant farm, which produces its product passively and automatically just like honey, and leafy meat is a darn good foodstuff.

[Epicocity]

My honey farm is built a little different. I have enough boxes in my farm so that I can get almost five stacks of honey in one harvest.

I ususally play solo and all that honey takes forever to spoil, to the point that if I harvest the honey at the start of Winter, I have a source of reliable food for all three stats.

The amount of honey I get will usually last a solo player up until about mid Autumn if harvested early Winter.

[FernandoJCruz-ktzo]

I knew this for a long time, but I forgot how good it actually was, if you build a gigantic amount of bee boxes and a ton of flowers somewhat close to an area you tend to linger on and bam, once come winter and suddenly you have stacks of honey that will take around a year to spoil in a fridge

[TheCnicus]

As wigfrid my fav farm is the dev graveyard werepig blender but for everyone else i agree on honey it's been my go to since i started playing in 2018. Yea cooking takes time but in late game winters i have nothing better to do than mass produce dishes for the next 1-5 years

[worgenlord]

Omg you totaly right, i slept on this the whole time.

[greenteaa]

Agree 👍 honey is very cheap and versatile. I am the type of building a lot of bee boxes and only harvest in winter, but your way of using magi and cobble to outrun bees is neat.
