Dino Tractor - Small Dinos

[Theropodax]

I'm supposed to 'let small dinos do all the work for at least 1 patch of soil'. I'm not sure how to accomplish this. I put seeds in a bowl and assume they'll eventually plant them. What else can they do?

Farther in the game, you'll be able to use small dinos to water and harvest crops also! Make sure to assign your tenders to the seed bowl, that's the only way they'll help!

Thank you! I look forward to that

Slight spoilery:

You get all these bowls from Avery, by playing his Town Board mini-quests and thus pushing his friendship values. You first get the seed bowl, then the harvesting bowl, finally the watering bowl.

I actually only needed to place a seed and then later a harvesting bowl next to 3x3 - 2 (open horseshoe layout) land:

   ***             *: tilled soil
   * * 
   *1*             1: seed bowl
     2             2: harvesting bowl

I had manually tilled for the achievement to unlock. (The watering bowl I only used very much later on, on another plot, just as a test.) This surprised me a bit.

Note you can assign up to two small dinos to each bowl, I just assigned one to each bowl, and that was enough.

Interestingly, you could also till the soil using a dino, but that also does not seem to be required. Tilling the soil yourself is fine.

Finally, once you assign the small dinos to a bowl, you will be able to watch them do their "chores"... just as a test to check if thing are actually working.
