Farm inputs and automation
Beer Production
Beer production adds a separate farm-to-drink chain that can turn crop inputs into a useful finished product.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Beer Production
The brewing station and crop plots made available through Farming and Nature progression.
Before you go
- Farming and Nature technology access.
- The beer recipe and brewing station unlocked in your save.
- The seeds or gathered ingredients listed in the recipe.
- Storage space for inputs and finished beer.
Farming steps
- Open the Technology menu and unlock the farming or brewing options leading to beer production.
- Inspect the beer recipe at the station to identify its exact ingredients.
- Check which listed ingredients you can grow and prepare the required plot type.
- Plant or gather those inputs, keeping ingredients for beer separate from other recipes.
- Harvest or collect the ingredients and bring them to the brewing station.
- Run the beer recipe using the station’s displayed process.
- Collect the finished beer and store or use it according to your current goal.
- Use the recipe display as your shopping list; beer inputs can depend on which production options you have unlocked.
- Keep a small input reserve so one batch does not consume every seed needed to restart production.
Repeat, collect and use
Brewing can be repeated while recipe inputs and station access remain available; technology and recipe unlocks are one-time.
Common mistakes
- Assuming a familiar crop is automatically a beer ingredient: verify the recipe.
- Starting production before the station is unlocked: check Technology first.
- Using all crop seed in a batch: retain enough to replant when relevant.
When to stop or switch
Stop brewing once your planned stock or recipe requirement is satisfied; return to crop production if a listed input runs short.
