How to Automate Soil Preparation and Planting

You can combine specific critters to transform raw terrain into farmland and seed your fields without manual effort.

Preparing Farmland with Critters

Several root-based critters handle ground preparation by cycling block types into usable soil:

• Potato Critter: Direct this critter toward patches of coarse dirt. It will automatically convert coarse dirt into ordinary dirt blocks.
• Beetroot Critter: Place this critter near rooted dirt blocks. It specifically converts rooted dirt into standard dirt.
• Carrot Critter: Once your area consists of normal dirt, let a Carrot Critter roam the space. It automatically tills dirt into farmland, preparing the soil for crops without a hoe.

Planting Crops Automatically

Once the soil is converted to farmland, use planting and maintenance critters to start and protect the farm cycle:

1. Release a Pumpkin Critter into your prepared field.

2. The Pumpkin Critter uses its Seed Ball attack to automatically plant seeds into open farmland blocks.

3. The Pumpkin Critter also uses ranged attacks against enemies, protecting your crops from threats.

4. Allow a Wheat Critter to wander the field alongside them. The Wheat Critter automatically breaks weeds and dead bushes, keeping your plots clear for new seeds.
