WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

A Pig House area near a storage point for collected manure and garden inputs.

Pigs live in Pig Houses, eat vegetables, fruit, or petals, and produce manure. Manure is one of the three Farm Soil nutrient types, so collect it for beds that need it. Keep this as a feeding route rather than a pig-killing route; houses respawn pigs.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

Pig House access
Vegetables, fruit, or petals to feed pigs
Farm Soil plots that may need manure

Bring food that pigs will eat to a Pig House area.
Offer the food to a living pig and allow it to eat.
Collect manure produced by the pig and store it with garden supplies.
Inspect Farm Soil to identify plots that need the manure nutrient.
Apply manure where it matches the crop and soil need.
Leave the pig population intact so the Pig House can continue supporting the route.
Return with more suitable food when the garden needs another manure collection.

Farming tips

Do not spend rare food on feeding if you have an easy surplus source.
Keep manure separate from other nutrient inputs so it can be directed to the right plot.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat while pigs and edible offerings are available; manure collection is renewable, but the pace depends on feeding and pig activity.

Common mistakes

Killing pigs for a short-term drop: feed them and preserve the manure source.
Using manure on every plot: inspect nutrient needs first.
Leaving manure uncollected at the pig area: gather and store it before taking it to the garden.
