How farming works

  1. 1 Till

    Make cultivated ground with the Cultivator. Every crop needs it, trees do not.

  2. 2 Plant

    Plant a seed. Barley, flax and mushrooms are planted as the item you harvested.

  3. 3 Wait

    A crop takes 67 to 83 minutes. Keep it spaced out and under open sky.

  4. 4 Harvest

    Pick it. The Farming skill widens the harvest radius and adds a chance of bonus yield.

Crops

Crops by the biome where you find them, from the Meadows to the Deep North.

How to get more seeds

Four plants give seeds instead of food, 3 from each: carrot, turnip and onion are planted as the vegetable itself, kale as seeds.

Vines

Both need a wall nearby and grow in 3 to 5 minutes. Ivy is decoration only, while Ashvine berries return after 200 minutes.

Trees

No cultivated ground needed, but they want more room than crops.

Why a plant is not growing

Look at the plant: the game tells you what is missing.

Healthy

All good, just wait.

Needs an open sky

A roof, beam or floor is above it. Remove it.

Needs more room to grow

Another plant, tree, rock or building is too close. Space them out.
