Farewells clicker Building Tier List

This tier list ranks Farewells Clicker buildings for a normal 1.0 campaign island, not for Creative Mode sculpture. The question is “what should I place when I have one good pocket left?” not “what looks nicest on a cliff.” Criteria: does the building open a synergy, remove a bottleneck, or only spend a tile? Official roles come from the 0.6.0 and 1.0 notes. We do not invent damage numbers. Compare this page with Building Synergies and the building list.

Ranks will move after a late-game balance patch. Team Square said 1.0 attention went to the late game. Check the Updates Hub if a month has passed.

S tier — opens the economy

Quarry — “A lot of stones depending on the rocks around it” is the clearest amplifier in the game. A well-seated quarry is the difference between placing one Tower and placing a landmark line.

Lumbermill — The wood version of the same idea. It needs trees, which means it needs a Cottage or a lucky forest. When those trees exist, the mill is S. When they do not, the mill is a trap and drops to C until you seed.

Manor (in a group) — Coins that scale with other manors are the late-game payroll for Castle banquet/totem costs. One manor is B. Three manors are S.

Cottage — It produces nothing and still belongs in S because it creates the fields other S buildings eat. People who skip it and wonder why the lumbermill is sad are reading the tooltip backwards.

A tier — removes a human bottleneck

Guild Hall — Auto-clicks around itself. Turns a clicker into a city builder for your hands. Best in a dense cluster.

Watch tower — Claims a huge chunk of land and does nothing else. A-tier when space is the wall. D-tier when you place it for vibes.

Rock / Obsidian — Fuel tiles. They are A because every quarry plan dies without them. Obsidian is the SUPER rock; spend it in the cluster you will actually amplify.

Castle — Stars plus SUPER click propagation. A-tier once an industry exists for clicks to spread through. Early Castle on a bare island is a vanity project.

B tier — important, easy to mistime

Tower — A lot of stars, no production, stone banquet/totem. Buy the stars when the skill tree is the wall. Placing it instead of a second quarry is how people stall.

Single Manor — A seed, not an engine. Place it only if the next two manors are coming.

Windmill — Officially underspecified except for a range node. B until your tooltip proves it is carrying a farm. Do not take Windmill range before you have one.

C tier — campaign finishers and toys

Portal — Ultimate, unexplained in the public note. C for planning because you cannot schedule a mystery. When you unlock it, hover it and it may jump to S for that save.

Banquet / Totem — Sinks attached to Tower and Castle. C until the landmark is already working.

F tier — common misplays, not bad art

An isolated quarry, a Watch tower in your only rock field, a Guild Hall on empty grass, and a Castle with nothing to propagate into are F placements of otherwise good buildings. The tier list is about jobs. A building doing the wrong job is F until you move it.

How to use the list in a session

1. If you have no amplifier, place S fuel then S industry.
2. If your hand hurts, place A Guild Hall.
3. If you have no pocket, place A Watch tower, then go back to S.
4. If the tree is dry, place B Tower or A Castle.
5. If a chest is Cloning, copy an S amplifier. If it is Tempest, read chest events before you agree to flatten the list.

Creative Mode is the place to ignore this ranking and build a pretty harbor. Campaign mode is the place to respect it. How to Farewell if you want a new island instead of arguing with a C-tier Portal plan.
