Crops and seeds
Wheat
Collect Wheat for food and convert part of the harvest into seed stock to keep production going.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Wheat
Grocers, diners, residential housing, botanists and farms on the selected vanilla map; planted Wheat Seed near base for ongoing production.
Before you go
- Inventory space for Wheat and any seed reserve.
- Wheat Seed or Wheat that can be converted into one.
- A safe planting surface if you plan to grow more.
Farming steps
- Search a grocer, diner, residence, botanist or farm building for Wheat; these are possible sources, not guaranteed drops.
- Take Wheat and Wheat Seed if available, leaving unrelated loot when inventory space is tight.
- At base, use the Wheat-to-Wheat-Seed conversion if you need a seed to start the crop loop.
- Plant the seed on a legal farm surface and wait until the plant is ready to harvest.
- Collect mature Wheat and check the resulting inventory before eating it.
- Set aside a seed for replanting, crafting one from Wheat if needed.
- Use only the surplus as food or additional seed material.
- A crop plot reduces dependence on finding Wheat on every run.
- Agriculture improves crop and plant harvesting if you regularly gather farm output.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat the civilian or farm search until you have enough Wheat or a starting seed. After planting, harvest and retain seed stock each cycle; the initial loot run is not required every time.
Common mistakes
- Treating Wheat itself as a placeable crop: plant Wheat Seed.
- Spending all Wheat immediately: first secure the seed reserve needed for another planting.
- Expecting a particular building to always spawn Wheat: check another supported building type or grow it.
When to stop or switch
Stop searching once the food and seed reserve is sufficient; switch to the planted crop for future supply.
