Where do I find cotton?

[GhrominIronfist]

Flint tribe barracks to the west has cotton growing outside the fence normally. Can't find it wild in the rainforest biome.

Thanks

I was looking for this myself. I went through a bunch of vids and such and when I went out there, it was pumpkins and chillies. I think it is semi random what could be planted. I guess I was just unlucky. You would think that since this quest is early enough in the game, that there would be more than just the one specific location that MIGHT have it there.

I've never not gotten cotton there in over a 50 trips, did you check both sides of the gate.

I just went and some did a full clear took all the plants and I got seeds from the some the loot boxes they missed...

The granary being lvl 20 and a requirement for farmplots to be worked seems like a miss IMO. Unless I'm wiffing on how to use the farmplots.

I have 2 farmlands and i am overloaded with cotton now...
Getting to bronze age to make a granary was a bit not nice but i understand its for game pacing and progression.

Also some barracks bases have farms you can raid and they appear to grow random byproduct.

You can plant and harvest crops yourself. Set the farmplot to the crop type you want, equip the seeds like a tool, "build" them onto the plot. Done. Look at the farmland and it tells you if it want water or fertilizer.

I'm currently lvl 18 and I made a farm plot and planted cotton seeds and corn seeds. I also had to make bonepowder and compost to sprinkle it on the farm plots. I can't build a granary yet, or whatever it's called. Also, build an outhouse for feces. Tamed capybaras and turkeys give a lot of feces as well.

I did not even know it could be done manually, how do you water the crops? I notice i am using a tribesman for it but my farmlands still say needs hydration, i have wells next to them but dunno how to irrigate i guess.

Almost the same. Have a waterskin or a water tank in your bag, go to some water, "use" the water, your containers are filled. Put them in the quick bar. Use them like you would use a tool on the field.
Or wait for rain. :D

Good to know... I have just been a lazy ho and waitin for rain lol

[Skittlywhoa]

why can I only plant one cotton seed on a plot i put another seed on the opposite of the farm plot and still says to dense and the plant will be destroyed?

Build a well and start making feces! You'll need it for bone powder fertilizer. I've been sitting by the outhouse and stalking my alpaca for poop.
