Farming

Farming is the process of planting, growing and harvesting crops at your farm. It's one of the main income sources for the game, and provides ingredients for cooking.

When harvesting, you can stand in the center of a 3x3 square of harvestable crops and hold the right mouse button, then move the mouse over the crops to harvest more quickly.

To plant crops players must first till a patch of soil using a hoe. If they intend to use fertilizer that should be applied before planting the seed. The crop must be watered each day to grow, unless it is raining (when they'll require no watering).

If the player fails to water crops for a day, the crop will not die, but will not grow that day (effectively being delayed a day).

Farming Skill

The farming skill level can be viewed in the skill tab of the pause menu. Each level grants +1 proficiency to the hoe and watering can tools. Levels are gained by using these tools, by harvesting, watering, and farming crops.The amount of experience gained from harvesting crops varies based on the value of the harvested crop,with more expensive crops giving more experience upon harvest.
