im trying to push to SH20 so i can build TC20. In the meantime i find myself having excess food (ham) all the time. I have “stored” some at tc13 and tc11 but always end up with excess food. I have not yet maxed out my farms or food storage since i am prioritizing iron storage and the SH. I have spent some food to get potions (mana/health/antidotes) and now have a lot of them.
My question is, what is the best way to spend excess food?
If you’re close enough to SH20, you should start farming recruits via 1-6-8 or 1-8-7 until you’re done. Put every recruit that you can generate into your TC13s, until you’re low on ham. Then, store all remaining recruits into your TC11s. Once you hit SH20 and build your TC20, you can use some of that ham for the research needed. After that, you’ll plow all of your TC13 recruits into TC20, using your TC11s to balance out the ham needs. A quick tip: you’ll also want your max recruit storage to top out at about 150, to make the transfers from TC13 to TC20 a lot easier.
I’ve literally farmed 1-8-7 or 1-6-8 for ~months~, while leveling my roster. The recruits to WE flag ratio are worth it.
