Maintain Your Farm for Steady Food

Harvesting and Replanting Crops

The homestead includes an active farm area. Keeping it productive ensures you never starve while working nearby.

Steps:

1. Locate the farm building on the compound

2. Check crop maturity—fully grown crops are darker and taller

3. Harvest mature crops by breaking them

4. Collect seeds that drop alongside the crop items

5. Replant seeds in the same tilled soil

6. Water the crops if your farm uses hydration mechanics

Expanding Your Food Supply

The starter farm may not produce enough for long expeditions. Consider:

• Planting extra rows of crops in available tilled soil
• Growing multiple crop types (wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroot) for variety
• Keeping some crops unharvested to collect seeds continuously
• Building a small animal pen near the farm for meat and leather

Check your farm every few in-game days. Consistent harvesting and replanting keeps your food supply flowing without interruption.
