Place worker stations and paths so Garden Architect workers can collect crops instead of losing time to blocked beds and long walks.

Quick Summary

Garden Architect worker placement is about reach, not decoration density. The best station location touches repeated crop blocks, keeps travel lanes open, and leaves room for later land expansion. Place the station near the crop blocks that need the most harvesting, then connect those beds with paths. Workers usually slow down when paths are broken, beds are too spread out, or the station is far from the highest-value crops.

How to use, formula & example

How to use this tool

Design Garden Architect layouts/routes for cycle time — less walking, more producing.
Expand only when current tiles/workers are fully utilized.
Upgrade when multipliers beat adding more unmanaged capacity.
Re-test after each change with a short timed run.

Expand vs upgrade / layout efficiency

Improve when output/hour rises after accounting for walk time and idle gaps

Variable	Meaning
Cycle time	Plant/harvest/restock loop length
Utilization	Percent of capacity actually working
Expand	More space when current space is saturated
Upgrade	Multipliers when space is underused or walk-heavy

Example: expanding into idle capacity

Setup: Player expands Garden Architect while half the current plots/workers sit idle.

Result: Fill and optimize current capacity before paying for more space.

Takeaway: Utilization first, then expand or upgrade based on timed output.

Common mistakes

Expanding into idle land.
Pretty layouts that add walk time.
Upgrading with empty capacity.
Never timing a before/after run.
