4 BEST Farthest Frontier House Layouts

Farthest Frontier is a town-planning and settlement-type game where players are encouraged to build a town from scratch, grow a population and maintain it, build homes, plazas, and farms and let their imagination run wild. 

Please remember that these layouts are community-selected, and the layouts are there for inspiration rather than focused execution. Therefore players are encouraged to change these as needed. 

Residential Modular Layout

The first layout is one of the easier layouts. While it requires a certain amount of effort from the players, it is more beginner-friendly. It focuses on a modular design rather than a spread-out residential and commercial area. 

Players that want to keep their settlements clean and organized should look into modular designs since it requires the houses to be placed together in seamless order and brings in the commercial areas like the schools, plazas, and markets in a way it doesn’t look cluttered.

Home Placements 

• Utilizes a 4×4 home placement layout, with 8 locations featuring 4 houses each, totaling 32 homes.
• Homes are arranged in clusters, with 16 houses spaced out in 1×2 areas, allowing room for decorations to enhance aesthetics.

Entertainment and Markets 

• Central area marked by red blocks houses entertainment centers, markets, schools, and Healer’s House.
• Markets provide essential goods, schools improve residents’ skills, and decorations enhance overall scenery.
• The layout can accommodate theatres within clusters of homes to ensure accessibility for all residents.

Excessive Roads 

• Minimizes excessive road connections by focusing on boundary roads and strategic placement.
• Replacing some connecting roads with decorations enhances the settlement’s beauty and benefits residents.
• Players can choose to add more plazas or ornaments to improve desirability and progress to higher tiers gradually.

Full Settlement Layout 

The next layout will be a community-based layout by VerucaKatt, which will essentially feature a complete settlement layout. It doesn’t feature only homes or basic settlements. Still, it is a complete city that will feature farms, graveyards, theatres, marketers, schools, barns, breweries, parks, pubs, and a fully developed area.

Home Placement 

• Homes are arranged in clusters of 1×2 dimensions, with one house in front and one in the back, separated by a small space for decorations.
• Some clusters feature three homes in a 1×3 dimension.
• The homes wrap around a large middle area, which serves as the hub for community facilities.

Middle Area

• The central area includes essential community features such as a theatre, shrine, park, healer, market, school, bakery, and wells.
• Roads connect buildings while maintaining a clean and organized appearance.

Industrial Areas 

Positioned in the bottom left, industrial areas house facilities like the foundry, barns, compost, saw pit, and landfill sites, keeping them separate from residential and commercial areas to maintain cleanliness.

Farming Areas 

• Large 10×10 farms provide a constant supply of food, with workers tending to crops for planting, maintenance, and harvesting.
• Four 10×10 farms are placed adjacent to each other, with small spaces between them for efficiency.
• Unused areas can be left for future expansion, imaginative additions, or additional farming or housing areas as the population grows.

Overall, the layout is pretty easy to understand, and it can be implemented with a little effort from the player’s end. Want to get food in the game? Well, our Food Sources guide is going to be a worthwhile read for you!

Home Placements 

• The city is divided into four repeating sections, each featuring a four-block housing system.
• Homes are placed closely together, maintaining organization and avoiding a cluttered appearance.
• Each square block contains 14 homes, with a total of 16 blocks spread evenly throughout the city.

Commercial Areas 

• Within each housing area, there’s a cluster of commercial establishments catering to residents’ needs.
• Commercial areas include markets, bakeries, healer’s houses, schools, wells, parks, pubs, and large statues.
• Smaller parks of various dimensions act as fillers, enhancing the city’s aesthetics and functionality.

Walled Areas
