Farming tips

[UltimateNobody]

Hi guys

I recently got the Farmer and started his farming quests, only up to growing the second plant now, but I am planning on making a massive farm, mostly because I enjoy those type of things, but also I would like to make some money and get some usefull resources from the plants.

Which ones would you guys suggest me planting? And is there any other general farming tips or not really?

TIA

Check the NMS Wiki for farming recipes. It depends on on what you are looking for from your farm. Selling? Crafting? That really determines what you should be planting.

Farming tip: Use the biome to your advantage. If a something that you can plant in a tray grows naturally on that planet, you can grow it outdoors. Saves the time and resources of planting indoors. Such as this frostwurt patch on a frozen planet, about a hundred or so.

I'm sure some of the more guru people will give extensive answers but I'll just quickly drop what I do myself.

Nothing that special to suggest really. What I always do is have a farm for each and every growable plant on their home climate. Like solar vine for example, that is one of the first useful plants to grow because it's used in making circuitboards, which is the first most expensive product you can make. Makes you good money early-game. Solar vine is just an example. So I plant a massive solar vine farm on a scorched planet, have a small outpost nearby for having an indoors to run into, or turn into laboratory or whatever. Then I do the same for every other plant for the circuitboard recipe. Like the frost crystals for instance. I grow them on a cold world in massive quantities. So basically that is what I do with every plant: have large farms on their home climates.

However this will also require a good amount of whatever that plant requires to be planted into the ground as well. Like the solar vines requiring phosphorus for example, or the frost crystals requiring dioxite. You can get those materials in large quantities easily from space station trade terminals or any other trade terminal really. Just get a few thousand of those, and then as much plants as you can find, then go plant them all somewhere. Make sure to make an outpost there you can teleport to and from.

What I also do is put a few of the plants on my freighter as well. I make a botanic floor or room, and have some of the most important plants grow in there inside large growbeds. The reason to do that is, you will (I mean I do) keep going back to my capital ship all the time, so it's useful to find pearls or other thingies that have been growing while I'm away, and just harvest them for some quick credits.

So that's the gist of it. Have large farms in appropriate climates and I also have a smaller one on my capital ship. The only issue I found is, unless you log in once a day to harvest everything and make products and then sell, the grow cycle of plants is gonna get mixed up because it takes different amounts of time for each of them to grow. For example frost crystals grow really fast, but in order to use them to make circuitboards you also need solar vines to grow, and they take a lot longer. Something to keep in mind.

If you're into building and don't mind hitting the money cap, then focus on being able to make Stasis Devices or Fusion Igniters (don't need to learn recipes for both, they each sell the same for a stack of 20. About 312 million:

Nip Nip and Sac Venom will earn you the most money.

I went nuts. 140+ some odd biodomes. everything needed to product large lots of Stasis Devices or Fusions Igniters in one harvest. It sat on top of an S class EMF.

Everything except Fecium and Mordite. I had those being extracted in mines.

I know it seams crazy, but it was a blast to build.

I have my plants farm completely on the freighter
Gases and the other materials I have extra bases
have built so about every day once 10 stasis devices and 10 fusion igniters and now I have to burn units am running unit max and have the parts now stored worth 6 billion would continue to craften but do not know where to go with the zeugs

For those missions, be sure to harvest more than you need to make a planting. You still have to start a plant in the planter, but the farmer does not care if it grows up full..if you have some in your inventory, he will accept it and give you a new plant BP. Speeds things up considerably.

everything is much easier than before because you have to unlock everything through quests
today you go to the Nexus and buy the blueprints simply
I just did that yesterday for the plants in Perma Death and started to build on my freighter which is also now easier earlier you have to search for his desire freighter only long because if you had a large freighter base you could not just buy a new so as not to lose the base now with Prisms no longer an issue and have only recently exchanged my A-class cargo in a S class and that after about 2600 hours of the A class, I have very very long.
Despite perma death where you have to be just a little more careful is the for me really really easy compared to the normal mode from before where you had to work out everything.
