This could be manipulated by the player with the use of aqueducts to move water sources closer or further from the land plot. Moisture is affected by two factors: Rainfall and Water Spread Aside from global temperature rising from pollution, it's no longer possible to influence the temperature. Temperature used to be influenced mainly by elevation in 0.7.4, but that is no longer the case. Understanding soil statistics Temperature Not all Plants grant Seeds as some of them act as seeds themselves, such as Camas Bulb, Beans, and Rice. Currently there are 9 types of trees in the game: birch, cedar, ceiba, fir, joshua, oak, palm, redwood, spruce. The debris will give you wood pulp and from time to time seeds - the type of seed will vary depending on the tree. Alternatively the Farmers Table offers a number of recipes to extract seeds from the harvested plants.Īs for Trees, those Seeds must be acquired by using an Axe on the tree debris created when the branches and the trunk hit the ground. Most plants will grant you a small amount of seeds when harvesting. Seeds can be obtained in different ways, depending on the Plant. If the plant's needs are met, the growth time and survival rate of your crops is greatly increased. Because of this, a Land Claim Stake is a great tool to visualize farming plots, in addition to their importance in protecting your farm. These 5x5 plots are identical to the plots used for determining property claims. The moisture, temperature, and nutrients of a given block of land are determined by the 5x5 plot that it resides in. Nutrients are not fully implemented in the 0.7.4 simulation.

Nutrients also play a role in determining how plants grow, but these can be supplemented with fertilizers. Depending on how close the given values are to the plant's requirements, the Display of the Soil Sampler will tell you if these values are above or below the Minimum / Optimal / Maximum value for this specific plant. Both variables must match your crop's requirements as closely as possible in order for your farm to be successful. There are two main factors to consider when deciding where to plant your crops: Temperature and Moisture. For this, you can use the Soil Sampler on already existing Plants to check their needs or refer to the map's crop yield potentials. This will give you a good start until you are able to make the Soil Sampler.Īfter planting new crops or changing the soil condition in any other manner, it will take a few minutes for the Soil Sampler to show the updated statistics.Ĭhoosing where to plant īefore you begin planting, learn a little bit more about which plants grow well where. Planting crops in high yield potential areas will successfully produce and have higher total yield per plot. Yield potential is an indication of % match in the soil conditions for each specific plant. Until this skill is learned, you can look at the map to see where certain crops will grow well by clicking on the right arrow, going to the bottom of the list, and finding things like 'plants -> yield potential -> (plant's name)'. Note that one does not need specialize in Fertilizers to craft it, only read the skill scroll. While the Hoe can be crafted from the start at the Workbench, the Soil Sampler needs to be built at a Tool Bench after learning the corresponding Fertilizers Skill. The two essential tools for farming are the Soil Sampler and the Hoe. 6 Crop temperature and moisture preferences.
