Subsistence Farming is a type of farming building in Fall of the Samurai.
Description[]
A bowl of rice offers nothing for the future.
Subsistence farms provide a basic agricultural income, and can help industry grow by providing food to the workers.
Relatively small-scale farming will feed the people adequately in most years, but it allows little excess to support a workforce away from the farm. Even in medieval-pattern societies, a reliable food surplus is necessary to support skilled craftsmen, and even warriors. If the surplus fails, then starvation and economic disaster soon follow, as craftsmen move to where they can find food. Peasants, being tied to the land rather than having marketable skills, do not have such an option.
General Information[]
Requires 850 koku*. Can be upgraded to Tenant Fields.
- +550 to wealth generated by trade in this province
Farms may be built in every province. Every province has a soil quality modifier which determines the amount of wealth that is generated by farming. Provinces with more fertile soil make much more money through farming, so prioritizing upgrading them over more barren farms makes money more quickly.

*Subsistence Farming is listed by the encyclopaedia as requiring 850 koku to build, but as one is present in every faction in the beginning of the campaign, and as they cannot be demolished, it is impossible to build one.
