WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm Ground near farm animals and wild livestock around Portia; apply the material in the Workshop yard planter interface.
Fertilizer in this loop begins as Animal Feces found on the ground near animal areas. Collect it as you pass, then apply it through the planter interface to a growing crop when useful. Because crop needs and growth timings vary, check the planter rather than assuming every crop needs the same treatment.
Before you go Have a planter box with a growing crop if you intend to use fertilizer immediately. Leave inventory space for gathered feces. Know which crop is currently planted and check its status. Look along the ground near animal areas for visible Animal Feces. Pick up each drop and continue your normal route rather than making an unsupported special loop. Return to the Workshop and inspect the growing crop’s planter status. Open the planter interaction and apply the available fertilizer to the crop if appropriate. Check water and crop status while the planter is open, replenishing only what it indicates is needed. Collect the crop when mature and retain the harvest for current needs before selling surplus. Farming tips Gather feces during errands to make fertilizer collection incidental. Use fertilizer on crops you actually plan to harvest rather than treating it as a universal requirement. Repeat, collect and use Repeat while crops are being grown and feces is available; this is an ongoing collection and use loop, not a fixed-yield farm.
Common mistakes Expecting every animal-area trip to yield a guaranteed drop is unreliable; collect only visible feces. Applying fertilizer without checking crop status can waste an input; inspect the planter first. Forgetting water while focusing on fertilizer can interrupt crop care; check both inputs. When to stop or switch Stop collecting when your active planters have enough fertilizer for their current needs, then focus on harvesting or another workshop input.
