So I’m here today to show you my layout of my ranch. I believe that my ranch is very efficient in producing plorts. All areas have drones, market links, refinery links, and teleporters.

Here I have pink/saber Largos, dervish/tangled Largos, and dervish/tabby Largos.
3 gardens produce pears.
Drone 1 gathers pears and stores them in silos
Drone 2 takes pears from silos to the auto feeders.

Here I utilize natural hen hen growth along with three other coops and a silo. Drone 1 gathers chickens inside coops and drone 2 gathers chickens outside of coops. Both deposits them into the silo.

I like this spot for puddles because I can put puddles in the natural waterfall lake. I can fit 7-10 puddles in that waterfall pond if they behave. Both drones in this section pick up puddles and put them in the silo.

I have fairy/crystal and fairy/magma Largos with cherry gardens. 1 drone gathers and stores while the other takes from storage and delivers to the auto feeders.

This is also my staging ground of teleporters that take me to my specific resource diggers across the far far range.

So thanks to the automation update, all I have to do now is water my drones and pick up plorts to either sell or store them in the refinery. If we had three drones per area, most of my farm would be automatic and all I’d have to do is sit and do nothing.
Thanks for your time, hope my ranch helps any newcomers or people struggling to make this farm work correctly. Any feedback or questions is welcomed.
