You have to manually farm all the time?

[Ashley]

I've gotten my followers to plant seeds and grow food but, they will never ever collect the food itself. Am I missing something or do you have to manually collect all food every single time?

It's excessively time consuming and just really boring, after every mission to just have to manually gather from every seed spot.

Further along the tech tree there's a way to have them farm it for you. Farming hut 2 I believe

[Ashley]

That is, a painfully frustrating upgrade. I get they want a sense of progression but to manually gather EVERY time after every mission? It's so damn time consuming.

You can build a farmhouse so your followers can take care of the plants and crops. Tho keep in mind the farmhouse has a radius in which the followers take care of the crops, if some crop lands are out of that radius they wont work on those. But you can always edit where buildings are in your cult!

Yeah, I have done that. That's not the issue. Simply that collecting them after every mission is excessively time consuming. If you have 2 farms it can take a lot of minutes just to get the food.

honestly yeah, love the game but there really needs to be either a fruit picker or a farm III which does this

Dully noted we will take a look, also the upgraded farm gives the ability for your followers to collect food and seeds and store them in the farm chest for whats it worth!

[Witzbold]

Yeah it would be greatly appreciated. Not sure why it was not thought of in the first place especially with how the game has a timer mechanic on top of how long it takes to harvest crops to begin with.

Huge oversight and should be readjusted in the future updates.

Just feels extremely frustrating when food is so highly demanded all the time. I do a ten minute run and then spend ten minutes collecting food. Having the upgraded farm make people collect food, means you have to wait so long just to get some really excessive tedious work out of the game.

I... don't have this issue?

Farm tier 2 auto collects all the food for me. So I go out, deposit the seeds into the boxes, and just collect all the food that's been auto harvested.

have seed boxes and fertilizer boxes next to my farms, with farm tier 2 it's automated, collects food, places seeds and fert down, they water and harvest and place in a box in-front of the building which I can collect from, I just have to fill the seed/fert boxes

My followers have stopped processing the fields, every time you come up to give a task, the game says that there are no farming tasks available. But all the fields are within the radius of the farm and need to be watered. I can show screenshots.

It is a gathering/building roguelite game.

I have no issue with gathering my own food until I progress in the tech tree so the followers can gather it for me.

You gather items while out in the dungeons. Do you want your followers to pick up items for you while in the dungeon too?

The progression makes a lot of sense to me. It takes a while to hit automated gathering, but you can relatively quickly grab watering and planting, so you can just come and harvest the final product. It's not much slower than gathering the food out in the wild.
I was practically drowning in berries after I'd built up half a farm's worth of plots.
Watering's the frustrating one early on, since you need to water it multiple times, and if you don't it won't grow. So until you've got watering help, plants will only grow one step no matter how long you're in a dungeon.

If you've got problems with food, maybe see if you've got more followers than you need, choose the food options in dungeons, maybe even take it into account when making doctrines.

When/If you approach ten followers it will be a good idea to have two farms, i have 12 followers currently and i absolutely need two farms to make it work :)

Also fishing is a decent alternative, though i lack recipes for a lot of the fish i catch.
