WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Dew Collectors placed on the Workshop yard and the Worktable.
Dew Collectors gather overnight, but collected Dew can evaporate during the day and more rapidly in sandstorms. Make collector checks part of the morning routine, then convert the Dew into Water at the Worktable. Avoid relying on a fixed quantity because collector condition and weather affect collection.
One or more Dew Collectors placed at the Workshop.
Access to the Worktable Dew-to-Water recipe.
Inventory or tank capacity for collected Dew and Water.
A morning visit before daytime evaporation becomes a concern.
Begin a Workshop day by checking each Dew Collector before tending optional tasks.
Collect the Dew currently available from the collectors.
If a sandstorm is occurring or expected, prioritize collecting Dew rather than leaving it exposed.
Open the Worktable and select the available Dew-to-Water conversion recipe.
Convert the Dew needed for the current tank reserve and collect the finished Water.
Add Water to the Workshop tank and keep any unconverted Dew in a protected place if storage permits.
Check the collectors again on a later morning and adjust the routine to current weather.
Farming tips
Build collector checks into the first Workshop visit so Dew is less likely to sit through daytime evaporation.
Weather can change the value of waiting; prioritize collection around sandstorms without assuming a fixed loss rate.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat the morning collection and Worktable conversion each day collectors have produced Dew. Collection amounts vary; this is a renewable, weather-sensitive farm.
Common mistakes
Leaving collected Dew out through the day can lose supply to evaporation; collect promptly.
Assuming all mornings yield an identical amount can misplan water use; check each collector directly.
Collecting Dew but never converting it leaves the tank short; use the Worktable recipe when Water is needed.
When to stop or switch
Stop converting when the tank covers current demand, but continue the collection check to avoid losing new Dew.
