Lighthouses Farm & Trillionaire achievement [ENG]
By ActustheKaktus
There are lighthouses in Forager, which bring significantly more loot in every way. In this short guide, I'll show you a few examples. A video will follow. I saw the structure in a steam discussion.

Here I show you how quickly you can get the 1,000,000,000,000 achievement. Also how to get tons of fruit / berries / raw materials and loot.

Don't be surprised, i play the game in german. So the units, like trillion and something, are different.

If like one of my first guides / short overview I will be happy about a thumb up and a fav.



For questions, just let me know :)

Buffs:
You can increase the loot with various potions and buffs.

Potions[forager.gamepedia.com]


Construction of the lighthouse farm station
You need the following for the lighthouses:
Glass, Steel and Bricks -> https://forager.gamepedia.com/Structures
If the costs rise, there is a possible buff in the shrine that halves all building costs. When building, you can simply activate it beforehand and the costs will decrease.

My order:
I have a construction of 48 lighthouses on the screenshot. There are even more easy, as you can see on the screenshot of the other Forager player. I take his data later here.

I counted the lighthouses vertically. Each number represents a column.

5/7/8/8/3/3/3/8/3 = 48














The Order from PeterHoHK:

Given that lighthouse range is 14 (from the centre block) and size is 3*3, it seems that 64 is the absolute maximum number of lighthouses you can fit around a 3*3 island so that the central block is within range.

Rough calculations gives me that one slime king got me ~287 billion coins. (from selling all the four colour gems and jelly with greedy potion and merchant shrine buff) This means that if you're crazy enough to make 64 lighthouses, you can reach a trillion in just 4 slime kings.

In comparison I also did 1 minute of skeletons and they only got me ~500 million (from ~10mil bones and ~800k great skulls), so that's that.

EDIT2: Messed around with it a bit more. It seems to depend on the very precise position on the island a lot. I can get anywhere from 36mil to 145mil of each of the gems from each slime king.

Thx to PeterHoHK for that answer in a discussion.

Get tons of fruit / vegetables / flowers / Animals / wood / ores / gems / sand
Example: berries

You have had a berry procurement problem for a long time. You need the berries for the fish traps. If you plant them there, you will get trillions of berries as a loot.

Video time stamp:
00:10 - Tons of berry or other desired plants

Dig a few holes and insert the desired seedlings.













Wait a short time until the harvest is ripe. I get about 17 Trillion (Englisch) (German Billions) - berries on one harvest.














Animals:

You will need two scrolls for this. Either the Druid Scroll or Miner Scroll and the Wizard Scroll.
The role of the wizard converts raw materials into animals.

Video time stamp:
01:39 - Animal Loot

Place an animal bait in the middle. So that the animals don't run away.














The animals run through the bait to a point and then kill them with the fire rod. Then you get leather, roasted meat and more.













Woordfarm:

With the Druid Scroll you can make forests appear. If you do that in the area and add some lasers to it, you will never have wood problems again.

Video time stamp:
02:18 - Tons of wood, pumkins & nightshadow

More Scrolls Infos you find here [forager.gamepedia.com]
















Ores and gems:

There are 3 ways to get many raw materials.

Video time stamp:
02:46 - Ores and gems

The first way is via the miner scroll.














Harvest best with your pickaxe. If you do that in the area and add some lasers again, you will never have ores/gems problems again.













The 2nd way is over the quarry.

The same principle applies here. Set up the laser and / or remove it with the pickaxe.




















The last way is through digging. There you get gems, sand, bones and other stuff.


Boss & Loot
Slime King

I killed 100 slime kings and then I got about 200 trillion of all gems. If you sell them you will get the trillions of achievement. Think of the potions here too.















In my video I show all bosses and the loot.

Video time stamp:
04:04 - All bosses
07:46 - Do some safe stuff
08:08 - sell all gems
08:15 - get the achievement

Do you find all Monsters + Loot here[forager.gamepedia.com].

The numbers in the "My loot" column are all approximate. Although I paid attention to how much I got, there may still be deviations.

The larger the radius in which the bosses die, the more loot there is. Have tested it a few times with each boss and these are approximate guidelines.

m=millions (German=Millionen)
b=billion (German=Milliarde)
t=Trillion (German=Billion)

Gotcha, thx

Unfortunately, I do not know if this is still possible. I haven't touched the game for years and don't know the changes so far.

Do you get more legendary gems with this method? I run out of them so quickly

thx for your comment! Looks like another good strategy! :praisesun:

Using upgraded necro rod with magic scept upgrade+ dexterous+ greed potio n on a land with spike traps is way faster. I don't even need to sell the item drops to get 1T. I used 48 lighthouse with 6x6 land in the center btw, need about 2 minutes to get the achiev (4,6,8,6,6,8,6,4 almost a rotational symmetrical if not for the 1 block for entrance)
