Know what to farm.
And where to go.
SCUM resource runs combine looting, hunting, fishing, foraging and player agriculture. Seeds come from loot, produce or traders; crops require prepared plots and maintenance. Military and industrial locations offer equipment but carry high PvP and NPC risks. Choose repeat routes based on server population and survival needs.

What matters before you farm
Unlock requirements, costs and tips to help you get started.
Check the plot before adding water
Inspect sunlight and water with right-click, then water with a held container and F or let rain refill the plot. Clear weeds and treat pests or fungus only when they appear.
Sources & fact checks
Hunting depends on following the trail
When you hear an animal, use Focus mode to find and interact with track clues until it appears. Leaving the area to loot can let the trail expire.
Sources & fact checks
Check bunker access before traveling inside
A bunker may be inactive and empty. Confirm its state, and use a card or powered terminal where available; a failed terminal puzzle raises an alarm.
