Before you start the journey to beat Epic mode easily you need to unlock a few "secret tiles" including

- CORN
- TRACTOR
- WEATHER-VEIN
- WATER PUMP
- Barn (not necessary but very nice)
- Ore (not necessary but very nice)

You can unlock all of these when playing the easiest difficulty just complete the challenge to unlock them.

Another Prerequisite to playing Epic mode is beating Challenge and Boss mode, both can be beaten with this strategy easily. Doing this will unlock the "secret tile" for Chests which always gives you 2 stone, 2 wood, and 50 Gold. Chests also leaves behind tillable land so always pick chest if it appears.



The best beginning to EPIC difficulty is to start with 2 rocks (even better ore veins) that you will immediately turn into 2 wells. Next you want to plant as many watered carrots as you can using the energy from the wells.



The best free tiles to get in the coming days are rocks or ore veins, they give you a rock to build another well and give you a new tile to start expanding farmland. If a rock or ore isn't an option picking the well or a tree is the best follow up. NEVER PICK RANCH OR WATER SPOT.

In order from best tile to worst tile (early game)
- Chest
- Ore Vein
- Rock
- Artisan Well
- Fruit Tree/Tree

NEVER PICK (Buy empty tile instead)
- Ranch
- Water
- Boat
- Mountain

The setup for land and wells is important you want land to be in a 3x4 grid with a hollow center (2 space gap) and wells need to be a 3x3 with a hollow center.

*Important note switch from carrots to tomatoes as soon as they are available for maximum profit*



The rest of the run is very straightforward. Simply get a Pump to place in the middle of the Artisan Well grid. Then fill in the 3x4 farm space gap with a Windmill in the rightmost spot and a Farm Marketplace in the leftmost spot (when available).

The only other buildings you need are
- 1 Barn (Re-roll ability DOES NOT STACK)
- 1 Weather-vein (use to water all tiles after tilling)
- 1 Tractor (Harvest all Crops)

Keep expanding the land in a repeating 3x4 grid to the left. Plant Corn as soon as you can and harvest from the bottom right corner when using the tractor for maximum profit. The combination of Windmills, Marketplaces, and Corn/Tractor, results in each new farm tile providing 64 Gold per Day

A few tips:
- Use the pumps ability to fill the wells before ending the day
- Weather-vein before putting corn down in order to not accidentally waste energy watering
- Click and drag to till and seed quickly each day


Final Farm should look something like this















Congrats, you beat Epic difficulty with corn! I wonder how to beat it without corn. . .

Shoutout to nico for finding this easy way of beating "True Epic" post QoL update.
"Secret Unlocks" needed are as follows:

• Animal Market
  
• Feed Trey
  
• Goose
  
• Incubator
  
• Clover
  
• Pump
  
• Fruit Tree
  
• Cider Press
  
• Barn

"Secret Unlocks" not needed but helpful:

• Ore
  
• Chest
  
• Horse

Unlike every other strat so far wood is absolutely vital and especially the Fruit Trees. Fruit Trees with a Cider Press make 30 Gold each funding all early game rent and carrying the run to the end game. With this being the case I find a Fruit Tree with a Stone to be the easiest and recommend resetting until you get this layout since the start is the closest in rent payments.










Day 1: As always turn the stone into a well and plant as many watered carrots as possible.










Day 4-11: Pay rent first and grow as many watered tomatoes as possible. Get to 10 Carrots for the free resource as well. Any stones you get turn into Artisan Wells (stop at 5-6) and any non Fruit Trees turn into ranches I promise there is a reason the ranches are built this way.










Day 12-16: Hoard 1 stone and 1 wood for this day and after paying rent build a cider press in the middle of the Fruit Trees you gathered thus far. Early Barn means everything *optimal placement is the empty space directly above the house* More Fruit Trees and growing tomatoes is the way to go. Only need 5 wells and 1 pump for the entire run










Day 17-24: Gather as much wood as possible and start setting up the end game money farm. Start incubating Goose eggs into ranches. After day 24 you can remove the fruit trees for wood and grow all clover.

Run Description
After making it this far its time to start developing the real income production; abusing the Goose's luck dependent Golden Egg spawn (spamming clovers), the $15 Egg becomes $99. Stacked with a Animal Market each Golden Egg is worth $198. The incubator is extremely cheap and used to fill the ranches with Geese while alternating Food Trey's and Animal Marketplaces multiplies the cost while easily feeding the Geese.
Optimal Setup for the Golden Goose Factory is:

Priority List:

• *Barn (if none present)
  
• *Pump (if none present)
  
• *Fruit Tree (before day 24)
  
• *Pond (if none present)
  
• Chest
  
• Animal Marketplace
  
• Food Trey
  
• Fruit Tree/Tree
  
• Ranch
  
• Ore/Stone
  
• Empty Tile

TIps:
1.) Build all incubators no need to waste a free tile on them
2.) Fill the wells before end of day
3.) Don't waste time harvesting clovers unless really behind rent
4.) Don't harvest the geese only the eggs!


Final Note: There is a glitch that for some reason incubators will stop working if you have more than 39~40 clovers at the beggining of the day, in the case this happens switch to farming horses in the new ranches its roughly the same income per ranch or consider dropping the clover count while you fill the gaps.

Final Farm should look something like this:

Go to the main menu. Click "Credits". Finally click on the Cat.

That's a Perfect Game right there! hoping for a more difficult challenge!
