How to Make Phytosoil and Start Farming

Build Phytosoil First

Phytosoil is the foundation block for growing the mod's crops. Craft it before planting anything, since the seeds and produce in this mod are meant to sit on it. Once you have a stack, place it in rows where you want your farm.

Plant Your First Crops

Place seeds or plantable produce directly on Phytosoil. The mod's growable blocks include Amaranth, Barley, Bell Pepper, Coffee, Corn, Eggplant, Flax, Frost Melon, Green Bean, Hops, Onion, Peanut, Radish, Rice, Sadiroot, Spinach, Strawberry, Tea, and Tomato. Each of these also has a matching Block form, so once harvested you can either eat, cook, or replant.

Keep Them Watered

Use a Watering Can on your crops to speed growth. Refill it before long sessions so you are not walking back and forth. Phytosoil plus regular watering is the loop that keeps the whole mod running.

Expand What You Grow

Grow at least one grain (Barley, Rice, Corn, Flax, Amaranth), one vegetable (Onion, Radish, Spinach, Green Bean, Eggplant, Bell Pepper, Tomato), and one fruit (Strawberry, Frost Melon). That spread unlocks most cooking recipes later, including pies, salads, and cakes.
