Farming cards

[Falaris]

The basic farm card:
Crop Growth +
Crop Yield+
+Essence while harvesting

Harvester workshop card
Tools improve yield
(but we don't harvest (most?) crops with tools?)

Settler Apogean (or basic or eminent)
Crop yield +
Building materials +

I understand there are more or better cards - one improves seeds from the mortar (which one is that? I don't think I have that). Which would you suggest if I was to use just one?

What effect does biome have? Is farming in desert really inadvisable or is that just a cosmetic difference?

I don't know anything about anything, but... it doesn't rain in the desert.

Yet I still run around with my umbrella up. Weird.

Depends really how efficient you want to go.
I reslot cards as needed so i would prolly slot
More seeds card (dont have it, if it exist)
Basic farm

But i have yet again to come around to farming. I have so much food and plants and stuff, i cannot play enough to get it all eaten^^

The farm card - it doesn't say it increases seed yield, at least not directly, but I do get 6 seeds per seed operation on the mortar with it. So, currently that looks like a great keeper.

Good tip there Falaris.

Another tip:
Before, I used to refine wheat fiber into flour. It's 10 fiber into 1 flour.

That's an idiotic way of doing it.

Turn the fiber into seeds - 2 fiber into 6 seeds - and THEN refine that into flour. That gives triple the yield.

It's kind of obvious -treshing the wheat before grinding it - but it wasn't viable before the update. Now it is.

don´t look at the starting text. Look at the text in the transmuter under the middle line. It started everytime with:
"Card applies effects"

Than you see that harvester workshop card and the settler card doesn´t improve your farming.
The settler improve your outcome of refined items (metal, lumber, stone) like carved stone, carved wood, handle, lumber, paper, hinge, metal plates (everything from the saw-table, blacksmiths (except of ingots) and the masonry.

The harvester workshop decrease the needed worktime. And modifed the crafted tools with lower stamina cost, lower weight, but also lower melee damage.

Only the farm card has an effect on your farming.
It increase your farming yield (don´t noticed a big different) but also "crafted seeds itens gave X2.0 yield (like you already noticed).

From discord the best method seems to be

Farm Card for seeds (x2 output)
Switch to Tempest for rain
Switch to Greenhouse to harvest
