WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Leaves acquisition
Collect vegetation around accessible land by hand or with a fueled Chainsaw. Expand your collection area when nearby patches are depleted.
Leaves are hand-collected vegetation, primarily useful as fuel. Biomass Burners and vehicles can use them directly, and a Constructor can turn leaves into Biomass with the Biomass (Leaves) recipe. Leaves are a finite local supply, so the practical bottleneck is accessible vegetation and collection time. A depleted patch does not provide an endless stationary source. Collect nearby vegetation by hand or use a fueled Chainsaw, then carry the leaves to the burner, vehicle, or processing line that needs them.
A Biomass Burner, compatible vehicle, or Constructor if processing the leaves.
Look for accessible vegetation in your current area.
Collect leaves by hand, or fuel and use a Chainsaw where appropriate.
Move to additional vegetation when the nearby supply is depleted.
Carry leaves to a Biomass Burner or compatible vehicle if using them directly as fuel.
Alternatively, feed leaves to a Constructor using the Biomass (Leaves) recipe if available.
Check your fuel or Biomass stock and gather more when the supply runs low.
Farming tips
Leaves can provide fuel directly, while conversion to Biomass gives another fuel form.
Gather near the area where fuel is needed to reduce unnecessary hauling.
A Chainsaw can speed collection, but it needs fuel to operate.
Repeat, collect and use
When a collection patch runs out, gather from other accessible vegetation rather than waiting for it to refill. Repeat as your fuel or processing needs require.
Common mistakes
Treating a depleted patch as an unlimited renewable source.
Leaving the Chainsaw unfueled when relying on it for collection.
Assuming Leaves become Biomass without supplying them to the appropriate Constructor recipe.
When to stop or switch
Stop gathering when your intended burner, vehicle, or Biomass conversion buffer is full.
