0-0-4 Boats
In BTD6, boat farming can be a highly effective method for generating income. One key factor to consider is the optimal ratio of farms to boats. The 0-2-4 farm and 0-0-3 boat setup is a common strategy for optimal income. However, when a player reaches their third central market, it may be more beneficial to upgrade all merchantmen to favored trade boats instead. This new path prioritizes farms and ensures that the income-to-cost ratio remains negative.
