Description
"If an army marches on its stomach does that make this a military building....?"
A cornerstone for both agricultural and cottage-based civilizations. The farm chunk is the only where regular crops can be grown. The growth rate for farms is linked to the city's growth stat. The Farm’s default design is set up to provide basic water and light needs for crops, however, the design of the farm can be customized as desired. The Farm is best utilized when used in cooperation with a windmill which will allow semi-automation of the Farm.
A farm is crucial for Cottage, Pasture, Restaurant and Grand Exchange buildings.
Crops can be planted using either the seed form or the crop form, though the game uses mostly the crop form of the item.
Crops can be harvested by right clicking on a ripe crop. They can also be harvested with a waterfal drop method.
Smart production and use of Grand Exchange sales can give a good daily income for your city.
Farms are only one player for planting and require direct sunlight to grow.
Each Biome can grow a different set of crops, you can check with the /biome command. This will list out all crops that can be planted on a farm in this biome.
The /biome crop command can be used like /biome crop wheat. This will tell you all the different biomes that are able to grow this crop.
These two commands will allow you to plan out your Farm biome goals before you build them, to maximize the types of crops you want to grow.
Cocoa Can only be grown in nursery in the Jungle biomes.
Raids are prevented from griefing a farm, but people can sneak in possibly and harvest (right click) your crops. Protect them well.
Sugar cane needs River biome (they are plentiful) and sunlight to grow - does NOT need a farm to grow in right now.
NOTE: Vanilla crops like carrots, potatoes, beets, will need to be left clicked, and broken instead of right clicked, for full returns!
Pistons can be used on farms and are the only plots that pistons can be placed
