trying to figure out farming

[lex_peacekeeper]

working on setting up food stuff for my group and we have ran into a problem of a bunch of seeds not seeming to work one of the bigger one is carrots, I have setup a full farm that should (from the videos) grow everything but stuff is still not growing anyone know why? cant find a augment or anything that says it grows X plant

Put Charm of Bounty on your watering can, and always hold your watering can when harvesting... you'll get more stuff

how do you get water and how do you use it on the pemade plantsquares please i have the can ?

I use the rainwater barrel but I think you can fill a watering can if you stand in any natural water source.

[xitooner]

I do farming+fishing at the same time (there are videos for a very efficient setup for this), so I just stand in the water and right-click...

Plant seed of choosen plant
Water seed
Play card or not
Wait 10 min
Harvest
Either you get some plants, some plants and seeds, some seeds.
Nothing is not an option here, so you either plant normal plant fibre or i dont know :)

as of last night there are 5 seeds that dont grow for me, was hoping there was just a trick to them and not the seeds are bugged my farm is in a herb forest, with a tempest card played, the plots have lamp posts to light them as well by time I harvest and replant my farm I can start harvesting crop 1 again thats how big it is

yeah some planters are buggy and the devs know about it
that issue was in the recent vid the devs posted
I myself use the plant pots you unlock later on
they always grow with 0 issues

And not even having the sickel just in hand makes any difference, sorry m8.

The other poster may be using the Bounty charm on the sickle or umbrella.
Which I has also noticed the first gathering charm proc never seems to work, but the ones after the first do.

Charm of bounty can be put on your clothing, it doesn't stack.

Greenhouse card is best for harvesting

Herbarium realm is good for farm bases, the herbarium realm card adds a growth speed bonus.

Oberons Bounty has no use in farming, all crops are hand picked and don't require tools

Farm card is good for making seeds (x2) but doesn't work for harvesting (unless its been fixed, Greenhouse card does work tho)

To summarise:
Use Farm card for making seeds
Use Herbarium with Greenhouse card for best farming output and growth (swap out for tempest to get it to rain then swap back to Greenhouse for harvest)
Put Charm of Bounty on a clothing piece to have it always active.

Extra tip:
Build a kitchen in a Provisioner realm to make food which adds a food duration bonus

If I may ask, is there a minor card you'd pair with purely food production purposes?
Also, I can't see on the card info anywhere that there's a such a buff - only Herbarium card has clear information on what it has as a "bonus"
. So.. does that mean that say Astroblade, Antiquarian, Hunt and Gloom will have unknown passive bonuses attached to them too!

so there is carrots, Delphinium, T3 Desert fiber, Hemp, and Jute

those are the ones I have found that wont grow in either the planter box or the plant pot

Hemp and Jute are the odd ones they grow but are always crude and not more hemp/jute

There doesn't seem to be any minor cards that add food 'crafting' bonuses, only ones that increase already existing bonuses whilst you are in that realm (some do increased duration for example but only when your in the realm so its not very useful)

As for the other major cards, I was wondering this too, as herbarium does increased growth and provisioner does increase duration via crafted foods, but its not easy info to find as that info only actually shows up if you check certain things from the work station bonuses, like a plant pot will show the herb growth bonus and the campfire/bonfire/stove will show the provisioner bonus.

I guess the only way to find out would be to build a full base in each realm and check all the stations for major card bonuses.

personally, I use bounty charm on my water can and I use Tempest Ageon -sp- card (constant rain) which help watering. I use Pagoda building (flat roof) with 24 farming plot.

I get enough seed to and cycle farming chamonmille -sp-
note: I have a water can cause sometimes the Tempest rain does not "100% fill the plot" so I just need to top it off.

I wish

Most of the time the watering cans (of any rank/materials, I've tried) just don't fill. thought I found a workaround by marking the one spot in the sea that worked; worked once more and now not.

I really wish this would get fixed.

How long do you have to wait to harvest wheat to actually get both seeds and grains you can turn into flour?

You will have to do ALOT of dedicated wheat farming before it can be substatial for flour.
ALOT lot.

If you make a big garden(I have 40 boxes) and use the proper cards it's very easy and quick to make flour

My cans fills , both of them from rain barrel.when I find strange things happening i usually verify the game files and many times it solves the problem.
