The most efficient tool for harvest as of 3.32 is the masterwork woodsman's axe. Notes: Unknown plants can be harvested in the same way and thus be stockpiled until identified.
Have a cutting tool and use ALT+A to reap what you sowed (this will drop the full-grown plant to the tile).Wait until the crop is ready to harvest (using ALT+A - HARVEST will inform you if the crop is ripe).Note: You can plant multiple seeds on a single tile but some will not sprout. Wait until the ground cools (Takes a day or so).ALT-A to open the Agricuture Option and Prepare the Soil (you will need a shovel).Stand on the square with the burnt-out fire.Light a fire on a square and let it burn out.A fence can be built around large farms to prevent foreign traders from triggering the item overflow bug, though this is a lot of work. Due to the limitations of the game, it is advisable to plant large (20x20 or even bigger) fields two or three tiles away from your main settlement. This land needs to be fertilized with the remains of a fire. In order to start farming, land needs to be prepared with a shovel. Crop yields can be greatly variable, and plant foods must be supplemented with protein from meat or fish to stop starvation. Due to their low nutrition value when raw, plants must be processed in order to be useful. However, a character cannot survive solely on plants. Deer and elk are known to lust after turnips, a trap-fence will deter them. Tying a dog to a tree nearby may help protect small fields from crow and hare incursions. Plants and cereals must be threshed to obtain their products (usually roots, seeds, leaves and sometimes flowers.)Īs of v3.19, animals and birds can (and do!) eat your growing crops and this can have a devastating effect, particularly in smaller fields. All crops except for cereals can be simply picked up but some plants will not yield seeds unless harvested using ALT+A (a cutting tool is required).
Crops start to become ready in late summer through to late autumn, though exact times differ depending on the species of plant.
Plantable crops and herbs are:Īgriculture provides a good long-term source of food and healing herbs, due to the time difference between sowing crops and harvesting them (around 8 weeks). The agriculture skill allows players to grow their own food.
