Best way to get water and where for farm ?

[Lupo Alberto]

I have difficulty to accumulate water and create a farm to grow plants .
anyone can tell me the easy way to do that?

I placed some rain water collectors by my dock on iron island as it rains there pretty regularly. If my main base on Hope hasn't seen rain in a bit, I take a quick trip over, fill up my flasks and use those.

Also the new Stormbreaker ship has a primitive barrel on it. You can use that to help take water back and forth.

I would build your farm on Hope. Rain will replenish the water tanks on the farms so build on a "rainy" island.

Hope and Silver would be the best bets just because of the amount of rain they get and the free space they have. You could build on Foggy or Iron but space there is limited and the animals are annoying.

Prioritize the solar water collector (once you have access to copper). It's much more reliable than waiting for rain, plus the fresh water doesn't evaporate like it does in water collectors.

In general don't waste copper on unnecessary tools and armor. You can easily go straight from obsidian to iron (which is much more plentiful than copper) - save the copper for building and upgrading machines like the solar still.

...and its own water collector.

I dont know if its a bug, but currently plants on farm dont use water at all once they grow from sapling state. So you can make farm on desert island, put some water only for start for plants to grow up and then harvest fruits without need to care about water.

I think it's intentional that you only need water during growing state so that you dont have to do the hassle of watering every plants once you have massive number of farm plants or forcing you to plant farm only on rain spots. My main base is in the copper island so I highly appreciate this feature because I dont want annoying busywork of having to constantly check my plants water level.

Of course losing all plants because they run out of water would be too harmful to state farming would be useless. But I think they should switch to "pause" state - so fruits dont regrow without water, but plant by itself is not lost. Fruits regrow timer would unpause once enough water is supplied.
If you plan farms on desert area you should have to care about water by yourself and make some distillers. Currently it seems bugged / too easy (no consequences for not taking water into account).
