Produce Compost for Crop Plots
Compost supplies a crop fertilizer input and can be produced at a Fertilizer Bucket from plant materials. A steady compost…
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Produce Compost for Crop Plots
At your base, beside the Fertilizer Bucket and the Granary or storage that supplies your Farmland.
Before you go
- A Fertilizer Bucket and access to its Compost recipe.
- Tree Bark and one of Fiber, Thatch, or Vine.
- Farmland with crops that require Compost.
- Inventory or storage space for ingredients and finished fertilizer.
Farming steps
- Check the crop assigned to each plot and confirm that it requires Compost; crops can have different fertilizer needs.
- Gather Tree Bark and choose Fiber, Thatch, or Vine as the companion ingredient.
- Bring both ingredients to the Fertilizer Bucket at base.
- Select the Compost recipe and load its ingredients according to the bucket’s displayed requirements.
- Let the bucket process the available batch, then collect the finished Compost.
- Place Compost in the Granary’s supply inventory or the storage your farm workers draw from.
- Check the plots and replenish their fertilizer supply when it runs low.
- Keep a reserve of the chosen plant ingredient so you can make another batch without interrupting crop care.
- Use whichever supported companion material you already have in surplus; the recipe accepts Fiber, Thatch, or Vine.
- Keep fertilizer near the farm supply point and leave room for harvested crops so storage capacity does not stall collection.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat the ingredient-gathering and bucket-processing loop as Compost is used by your fields. Compost production is renewable while you can collect Tree Bark and at least one accepted plant material.
Common mistakes
- Assuming every crop uses Compost; inspect its requirements and supply the matching fertilizer.
- Loading Tree Bark without an accepted companion ingredient; add Fiber, Thatch, or Vine as well.
- Making fertilizer without leaving storage capacity for it; collect the batch and clear space before the next processing cycle.
When to stop or switch
Stop producing Compost when your active plots have an adequate supply and you have a reserve for the next planting cycle; switch to the crop’s listed fertilizer if its requirement differs.
