Hiring servants#

To speed up field work on cultivated lands, you can hire servants - clones with the “Vagabond” status.

At what stages can you hire a servant?#

The servant assists the clone in the following stages of the agricultural cycle:

• Fertilizing (applicating specially manufactured fertilizers only).
• Sowing seeds.
• Harvesting.

Each servant is assigned to a single plot of land, either being fertilized, sowed, or harvested. Each servant increases the speed of work on that plot by 10%. If there are more servants than fields, multiple servants can be assigned to a single plot—the processing speed is cumulative. The maximum number of servants is equal to the house’s development level.

To hire servants, you need to create tasks and assign a payment fund:

• Determine the total wage fund for servants.
• Set the price for one task (minimum 0.0001 gold).

This is done on the Your Homes page. Payments to servants for completed tasks are made automatically from the fund. The fund’s amount is reserved from the homeowner’s game account. The fund can be reset to zero, and the funds will be returned to the account.

Servants can be hired at any time, even if there are no jobs available in the farmstead. Once the fund and the task price are set, the job board will begin issuing tasks. Only clones with the “Tramp” status can be hired as servants. A Tramp submits a request in the “For Servants” section. The job board will assign the clone to the most profitable task.

The higher the cost of a task, the faster the servant will receive it. Each task takes one hour to complete.

The house level determines the number of tasks servants can perform simultaneously. For each level of house development, there is a maximum of 24 tasks per day, performed sequentially.

Example: Castle (50 development units)

• 50 tasks can be performed simultaneously by different servants.
• You can complete up to 50 × 24 = 1,200 tasks per day.
• To complete all tasks at 0.0002 gold, fund size = 1,200 × 0.0002 = 0.24 gold.

Calculating the processing time with a servant#

Servants increase speed by 10% instead of decreasing time by 10%. Processing time is calculated using the formula:

Where:

The formula takes into account the constant presence of servants on the field from the beginning to the end of the process.
