WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Farm Soil
Farm Soil crafted through the Farmer and placed as a plot at your base.
Before you go
- Complete the Farmer rescue quest.
- Access to the Farmer's Farm Soil crafting recipe.
- Materials listed in the current recipe and a suitable base area.
Farming steps
- Rescue the Farmer and bring her to a Flame Altar base.
- Interact with the Farmer's crafting options and confirm Farm Soil is unlocked.
- Gather the ingredients displayed for the soil recipe.
- Craft an amount suited to the crops you plan to grow rather than covering unused ground.
- Place the soil in an accessible plot near the Seedbed and storage.
- Craft seedlings at the Seedbed, check each crop's soil compatibility, and plant them.
- Start with a small plot so you can confirm crop compatibility before expanding.
- Keep harvested crop inputs organized near the Seedbed to simplify later batches.
Repeat, collect and use
Farm Soil placement is a setup step; expand or replace plots as your crop plans change. The crop cycle itself repeats through Seedbed production, planting, and harvest.
Common mistakes
- Expecting soil crafting before the Farmer quest: finish her rescue progression first.
- Planting every seedling in Farm Soil automatically: seedlings can accept different dirt or sand types, so check each one.
- Making a large field before choosing crops: match plot size to actual production needs.
When to stop or switch
Stop crafting soil once you have enough compatible plots for the crops you use; make more only when expanding or changing your farm.
