Growing Crops and Using the Cutting Board Harvest
Planting and Harvesting
Start crops from seeds. Cabbage Seeds grow into Cabbage, and you can harvest Cabbage Leaf from the plant. Tomato grows on a Budding Tomato Vine, which you place and let develop before harvesting. Rice comes as a Bag of Rice that you break down for use in cooking.
Storage Crates
Once harvested, store produce in dedicated crates. Cabbage Crate, Carrot Crate, and Beetroot Crate each hold their matching crop and keep your storage room organized. These crates are also convenient when you want to move a large harvest between bases.
From Field to Kitchen
Bring harvested crops to the Cutting Board to prep them. Cabbage becomes Cabbage Leaf for recipes like Cabbage Rolls. Rice from a Bag of Rice cooks into Cooked Rice, which feeds into Fried Rice and other pot meals. Carrots and Beetroot from their crates go into stews and salads.
Set up your farm close to your kitchen so the trip from harvest to Cutting Board to Cooking Pot is short. Keep a Basket or Cabinet near the farm for temporary storage, and use the crates for long-term stock. If you grow multiple crops, label your storage with Canvas Signs so you can find each crate fast.
