Farming on your own land will ensure a steady supply of delicious food and resources needed for craft.

Farming Process

Seeds are obtained from

Seeds can be obtained by harvesting crops. It can be obtained by harvesting the crop with a sickle or by cutting down withered trees. A very low percent of the time, seeds will also be dropped if the crop is still growing or if the remnants of the plant are collected after harvesting.

Reap seeds from crops growing in the field or planted on the harvest request map. You can also harvest from crops planted in towns, at the occasional cost of karma per harvest.

Some seeds can be purchased from merchants in Mifu Village. The Ecopo merchants in Yowyn also receive a variety of seeds with a +1 enhancement value.

Seeds can also be obtained randomly from Kumiromi of Harvest's faith bonus. His apostle, the Cute Fairy, also can provide seeds that cannot be obtained elsewhere.

Fertility

The first thing to do in order to farm, is to weed!

Land has a value called fertility, which affects the number of crops that can be grown on the land. A negative fertility value, which can be seen on the My Home bulletin board, indicates that the land is too barren to be farmed properly. You can restore the fertility of the land by collecting excess plants and flowers growing on the land. Residents who have farming or gardening as a job or hobby will increase the fertility of the land.

Fertility can also be increased by acquiring and raising the level of the Soil home skill or by expanding your land.

Farming

Seeds can be sown on ordinary ground and still grow, but it is more efficient to grow them in a field.

A field can be created by stripping the grassy area with a shovel and tilling the soil with a hoe. If you have tilled too much and need to revert ground, you can replace it with grass and shovel again as needed.

Rice and wheat are also crops that can be grown hydroponically, meaning that seeds can be sown near a body of water and still grow like a field. Riparian areas can be increased with the Bottomless Pot or water tiles.

Field Environments

Crops will not grow well in winter. You can set the field or paddy field to a snow removal cell from the building board so you can grow crops regardless of the season.

As of Beta22.55, there is no difference in crop growth between outdoors and indoors, and all crops can be grown indoors.

Cultivation

After planting seeds in a field or paddy field, crops can be harvested after a while. Each time you water your crops with the watering canister, the number of days until harvest is reduced by one day. When it rains, watering is done automatically.

As for wheat and rice, planting them in the paddy field will save you the trouble of watering them.

Fertilizer can be obtained by putting fresh produce or flowers in a Compost Box and letting it rot. If you place the fertilizer on the crop and wait an hour, the crop will grow a little (10% of the number of days until harvest).

By the way, you can get a Defertilizer by mixing fertilizer and burnable or non-burnable trash in a stone jar. If you don't want to kill an ornamental tree or other plant, you can use defertilizer to stop its growth.

Harvest

Once your crop has grown to harvest time, it is time to harvest. Don't forget to use a sickle to secure the seeds for the next growing season. After harvesting, the plants will not bear fruit again, so clear away any remaining grass and sow new seeds.

Mature trees planted in the field reliably drop seeds, so logs can be consistently collected without worry.

Breeding

When you harvest crops in the field with a sickle, the seeds may be improved to increase their + value, with +1 crop level for every 10 seed enhancement levels.

The + value of the crop improves the quality of the log or crop, increases the number of materials obtained if it is a tree, and enhances the item trait of that log. In the case of an edible crop, randomly grants one type of food trait, and each time the crop is improved, that trait is enhanced.

Note that the only food traits that can be given to seeds through breeding are those related to potential and [collagen-rich] (increased charisma experience).

The quality of beehives produced by beekeeping boxes on the same map will increase with the level of flowers planted.

The probability of a seed being enhanced increases if fertilizer is used, if the player has faith in the harvest Kumiromi, or if the player's farming skills are much higher than the level of the seed. The maximum level of seeds that can be improved depends on the player's farming skill.

Delegated Farming

As the level of Hearth stone increases, the "Delegated Farming" policy becomes available. This policy will automatically grow, harvest, and breed the crops planted on the land. However, the yield and breeding efficiency are not as good as when you grow your own.

The area to be farmed can be specified by a sign or scarecrow in the field.
