WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Pumpkin Farming
Wild pumpkin plants and planter boxes at a protected base.
Before you go
- Pumpkin seeds from wild plants or saved stock.
- A planter box with room for the crop.
- Water and light suited to the planter setup.
- Storage for food and spare planting stock.
Farming steps
- Find wild pumpkins and collect seeds for planting.
- Plant seeds in a planter box at base.
- Supply water and light, then check the planter for coverage problems.
- Inspect genes after planting; each seed's genes are generated when planted.
- Harvest ripe pumpkins and collect them for food.
- Set aside seeds or clone a useful specimen before clearing the planter.
- Store the food for later use.
- Compare planted specimens before choosing one to clone; seeds do not all share the same genetics.
- For sprinkler watering, verify each planter receives coverage before expanding the crop area.
Repeat, collect and use
Plant saved seeds or clones, maintain water and light, harvest for food, and reserve planting stock. Pumpkin farming is repeatable while you can sustain the crop.
Common mistakes
- Consuming every pumpkin and seed: reserve planting stock to restart production.
- Cloning without checking the plant: inspect its traits and suitability first.
- Adding planters before testing sprinkler coverage: confirm water delivery before scaling up.
When to stop or switch
Pause once food storage meets your need, or stop planting if water, light, or base security cannot support the crop.
