Description

The Farm is an intermediate cash-generating tower that can be purchased from the store for 2,000 Coins. The Farm generates cash for the player at the beginning of each wave, instantly giving the player a cash bonus. It does not do anything during the wave itself, and is solely a source of bonus income. The Farm cannot damage by normal means. The only way to deal damage is by placing the Farm in the range of a Harvester, which will make the Farm create thorns while the Harvester's Thorns ability is being used. Thorns generated by a Farm have their damage, duration and range statistics halved, though their power (except the range) increases with Levels, becoming same strength as the Harvester at Level 5. Tick and slowdown are seemingly unaffected by this and are the same as the Harvester. It can also be strategically used to make more money for the respective player, allowing them to buy more expensive towers and upgrades sooner. The Farm, if used appropriately, can be extremely beneficial in obtaining expensive towers like the Turret, Ranger and Accelerator earlier than usual. The Farm also has a slightly larger placement footprint than other towers, though it is smaller than the Turret. The Farm has a placement limit of ten per player. This is decreased to eight in PVP mode.

Strategy

The Farm is very useful to have in your loadout, as its ability to generate cash makes it very useful throughout the entire game. This is even more important when using expensive towers like the Accelerator, Engineer and Ranger. The only time you should not bring the Farm is when there are too few waves to make it worthwhile. This includes most events. Some events outright prevent Farms from generating cash or even being placed down, so it is useless to bring the Farm for them. Keep in mind that the Farm does not generate money for teammates. When using the Farm, ensure you have a balance of defense and farming. Too little of either can be dangerous. When playing with others, it is usually recommended to either focus wholly on Farms or defense. The other players can assist in the areas you are not working on. If you are defending in the early game, you should switch to Farms once the players who have farmed in the early game place down stronger towers that can sustain the following waves, and vice versa. You should state in chat what role you intend to play before making any move and observe if the other players are farming or defending. Be ready to drop your farming if the situation calls for it. Sometimes, the player defending may not be able to cope and needs assistance from other players. Depending on the stage of the game which this happens, you may need to use an early game tower to help. It is always a good idea to bring along some early defense, even if you are planning to farm the majority of the early game, just to be safe.

Patch history

When the game was in Alpha, and for a while after BETA release, the Farm's upgrade stats were not displayed on its upgrade description. It was simply referred to as "sans tree". The Farm was based on the Tower Battles version of the Farm. The Level 2 upgrade Wheat was based on BelowNatural's wheatfields in the map Ducky's Bootcamp from R2DA. The Farm has the second shortest range for a tower in the game, only beaten by the Biologist. However, multiple units have shorter ranges, such as Elf which has 1.5 range or Hallow Guard which has 2 range. Some towers do not have range, like the Military Base or Elf Camp, which could be considered having shortest range than the Farm. The Farm is the first economy tower that was added to the game. The Farm is the only tower that cannot be discounted by the DJ Booth.
