Agriculture

In the frozen world, traditional farming is impossible. Instead, agriculture is performed indoors using heated raised growbeds. These growbeds come in various sizes and serve as the foundation for cultivating plants in survivable conditions.

Botany will be required in engaging with this system.

Growbeds

Growbeds are available upon gaining access to Hothouse Facilities.

You can interact with a growbed in several ways:

• Mouse over it to view crop status

• Left-click for quick actions

• Double-click to open the full menu for planting, watering, or adding compost

Planting Seeds

Once you have access to a growbed, you will need to acquire seeds.

How to plant:

Seeds – 1 unit per 3 tiles of growbed space.

Sufficient Lighting – Most plants require a lighted area to grow.

Botany Skill – You must meet the minimum Botany requirement to both plant and harvest the crop.

Tending Crops

Once planted, crops will take anywhere from several days to two weeks to fully mature, depending on the type. To grow properly, they must be kept in suitable conditions. Most plants require suitable temperatures, adequate lighting, and regular watering to remain healthy. If neglected, they will stop growing and begin to wither. Compost can be used to restore damaged crops and, when applied consistently, can also increase the final yield.
