Tribesmen production
Unlock Crop Planting and Build a Farm
Crop Planting technology opens the core farm buildings and tools needed to establish crop production.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Unlock Crop Planting and Build a Farm
The Crop Planting branch in the Mask technology interface, followed by your base farm area.
Before you go
- Access to Mask technology progression.
- Materials required by the available technology nodes and buildings in your save.
- A suitable base area for Farmland and a Granary.
- Seeds for a crop you intend to grow.
Farming steps
- Open the Mask technology interface and find the Crop Planting branch.
- Check which branch nodes are available at your current progression and unlock the ones needed for your farm.
- Work toward Farmland and Granary access, along with the fertilizer and seed tools relevant to your planned crop.
- Place Farmland where it can be tended by your Granary setup.
- Select a crop on the plot and inspect its water and fertilizer requirements.
- Supply the plot’s inputs and assign a tribesman to the Granary if using automated tending.
- Continue toward Well technology when it becomes available and is useful to your farm.
- Prioritize the buildings and inputs needed for the crop you plan to grow before expanding fields.
- Check the visible technology branch for current availability instead of relying on an exact level estimate.
Repeat, collect and use
Technology unlocks are one-time progression steps per save. Crop production becomes repeatable once the field, seed, supplies, staffing, and storage are in place.
Common mistakes
- Expecting a node before it appears in your progression can waste planning time; use the in-game availability check.
- Treating Well as an initial prerequisite overlooks its later place in the branch; unlock it when available and useful.
- Assuming every crop has identical supply needs can leave a new farm idle; inspect each plot.
When to stop or switch
Stop pursuing farm unlocks when the buildings and tools needed for your target crop are available; shift effort to seed, supplies, and staffing.
