WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Planter boxes placed on cleared ground in the Workshop yard.

Set up planter boxes in the Workshop yard, plant seeds, and manage each crop according to its own requirements. Water and fertilizer are part of the care loop, but needs and growth timings differ by crop. Use the planter’s status to guide care and harvest for a specific workshop purpose before shipping extras.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Obtain a planter box and the relevant seed.
  • Clear yard space and have water available.
  • Collect fertilizer if you plan to use it.
  1. Place the planter box on cleared ground in the Workshop yard.
  2. Interact with the box and choose a crop seed suited to your current need.
  3. Water the planted crop and check the status shown by the planter.
  4. Apply fertilizer when available and useful for that crop.
  5. Recheck the crop during ordinary Workshop visits, replenishing the inputs its status calls for.
  6. Harvest when mature, then store the amount needed for commissions or other uses before selling surplus.

Farming tips

  • Start with a crop whose output has a known use instead of planting every seed at once.
  • Read the seed and planter information because crop requirements and timings are crop-specific.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat for additional harvests by planting again; each cycle depends on the selected seed and its growth requirements.

Common mistakes

  • Planting without water available can complicate care; prepare water before starting.
  • Assuming all crops share a schedule is incorrect; use the crop-specific status and information.
  • Selling a full harvest before checking commissions or recipes may force another growing cycle; reserve needed output.

When to stop or switch

Stop planting when planned crop demand is met or yard and care inputs are better spent on another production task.
