Creator Chronicles Farming & Production: Targets, Worker Levels and Shortages

Why production is stuck

Check	What to look for	Action
Town requirement	Facility/recipe not available yet	Advance the relevant town/Discovery requirement
Materials	Input stock at zero	Gather, buy or raise upstream target
Worker	Wrong profession or level too low	Recruit/level the required specialist
Target	Item already at target quantity	Raise target only if you actually need more

Set targets as a buffer, not a vanity number

• Older Demo footage explains that higher target quantities receive production priority.
• It also shows that a member below the item’s required production level cannot make that item.
• Official Demo V5 notes added direct numeric input and clearer failure reasons, making target-based automation easier to manage.
• Keep dungeon consumables above your next-run requirement; keep sale stock lower if you are short on inputs.

Protect supplies from your own economy

Useful Demo mechanic

The long-form footage notes that customers can create shortages even during automatic production, and recommends locking critical items to prevent sales. That is especially useful for potions or ingredients you are reserving for a dungeon push.

Alchemy as the first complete chain

Guide illustration

1. Recruit Herbalism coverage.
2. Set herb targets instead of manually harvesting forever.
3. Build/unlock the Alchemy facility when the quest chain reaches it.
4. Recruit or assign Alchemy coverage.
5. Set potion buffers based on the next dungeon party, then lock the minimum reserve.
