Crops and settlement production
Farmer Seed and Sapling Trade
Village Farmers offer a way to acquire seeds and saplings and sell selected crop surpluses.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Farmer Seed and Sapling Trade
A Farmer NPC in a village; the NPC may also visit your settlement with additional trade opportunities.
Before you go
- Access to a village or a Farmer visiting the settlement.
- Coins for purchases.
- Wheat or Sunflower harvest if you intend to sell crops.
Farming steps
- Explore until you find a village and locate its Farmer NPC.
- Open the trade interaction and review the Seeds, Saplings and other available items.
- Choose seed or sapling types that match a crop or orchard goal you have identified.
- Purchase the desired stock with coins and keep varieties separated in inventory or storage.
- Return to the settlement and plant the seeds in Farmland or place saplings in the orchard.
- Harvest crops when ready and reserve some seed stock for future planting.
- Sell surplus Wheat or Sunflower to the Farmer when the trade is useful, then use coins for further supplies.
- Check the trade inventory before spending; buy toward a named planting goal rather than collecting everything.
- Keep enough crop output for your own recipes before selling Wheat or Sunflower.
Repeat, collect and use
Trade can be revisited when a Farmer is available; shop stock is not guaranteed to include a specific item every time.
Common mistakes
- Expecting a fixed seed selection: inspect current stock and plan around what is offered.
- Selling all Wheat or Sunflower: reserve what you need for your own uses first.
- Buying saplings without an orchard plan: make sure you have space and a use for the resulting fruit.
When to stop or switch
Stop purchasing when you have enough planting stock to establish the intended plot or orchard; return to trade when new seeds or coins are needed.
