== Description ==
The '''farming''' [[skill]] covers tending cultivating [[field]]s, sowing and [[harvestseeds]]ing , tending the crops. Crops can take several [[day]]s to grow, during which a farmer should farm the field [[tile]]s to remove weeds. This will improve the harvest. [[Quality]] and amount of the harvest increases when you have a high farming skill. Quality of the [[seed]] also effects the growth time of harvesting the fieldsproduce.
The seeds needed to start farming can be found while [[botanizing]] or from harvesting the crops. Harvested [[cotton]], [[wemp]] and [[pumpkin]] must be picked to recover seeds for replanting.== Tools Used==
Crops can be harvested at * [[Rake]] - for farming* [[Scythe]] - for harvesting [[wheat]], [[barley]], [[oat]] and [[rye]]** No tool is required when harvesting any time after of the first growth level, but harvesting too early other crops.* [[Large planter]] - for growing below ground or for aesthetics. A planter is required to grow [[mushroom]]s above or too late results in zero returnbelow ground. When a field reaches optimal height it will A planter can be used to grow many crops above ground, if you like the same height as a look.* Any [[small barrelcontainer]], no taller, no shorterin your inventory - Can be used to sow seeds. After seeds are put into the container activating the container will use a new seed for every sow action. The colour container can be put on the toolbelt and will show the number of seeds in the field is also possible marker, as it changes to a yellowish-green or golden when ripecontainer on top of the icon.
== Notes==* No plowing is needed. [[Seeds]] can be sown directly on a dirt tile to begin. * * The [[maximum slope]] on which you can sow [[seeds ]] is 8; attempting , where 8 = (highest north-south tile border's slope) + (highest east-west tile border's slope). For example, the slope can be level EW and 8-steep NS, or it can be 4-steep EW and 4-steep NS, etc. Attempting to sow [[seeds ]] on a greater slope results in a message "The ground is not flat enough for crops to grow. You need to flatten it first". The Farm tiles function the same with a slope '''does''' appear to effect growth speed8, but crop quality is unknownflat or anything in between.Still need more help, please see the chart below:

== Examine details ==* Crops can take several real-life [[day]]s to grow, during which, a farmer should tend ("farm") the field [[tile]]s to remove weeds. This can be done approximately once every real-life day and will improve the eventual harvest. [[Quality]] and yield of the harvest also increase with higher farming skill. * Crops can be harvested at any time after the first growth level, but harvesting too early or too late results in zero or reduced return. When the farm is ready to harvest (ripe), the crop will look visually look "ready" and will also relate this upon examination. See the "Images" section below for pictures of each crop in the ripe stage.* If an animal grazes a crop tile down by one stage, when the crop regrows, the yield will be increased by 1.* Farming can be done while moving, so long as you do not move too far away (two tiles) from the tile you are currently working on.* The minimum harvest yield is 2. Tending your crops will increase your crop yield when harvested. * Moments of inspiration (rare rolls) do not produce rare crops while harvesting, however there is a 1 in 4 chance of discovering a [[Treasure hunt | Treasure map]] while harvesting or tending. It is also believed that a moment of inspiration during a harvest action may increase the chance at a higher yield during that single action.* The [[seeds]] and [[vegetables]] needed to start farming can be found while botanizing, foraging, or manually harvesting crops from a field. Harvested [[cotton]], [[strawberries]], [[pumpkin]], [[wemp plants|wemp]] and [[reed plants]] must be picked to recover [[seeds]] for replanting.* [[Seeds]] can be sown on dirt tiles or in [[large planter]]s.* The quality of the [[seed]] does not affect the growth time of the fields.* Clearing crops that have turned to weeds will return one seed.
Anyone can verify if a field needs tending. "The crops grow steadily" means the field is in order, while "It could use a touch from the rake or some other farming tool" means it must be tidied with a [[rake]]. If the description mentions "rotting old weeds", the field is overgrown and can no longer be harvested.== Examining Crops ==
Level 10 farmers * '''Anyone can determine which type of crop verify if a field needs tending while holding an activated rake.''' Messages from this examination include:** "The crops grow steadily" - means the field is growing in order.** "It could use a field, except at touch from the lowest growth level (rake or some other farming tool" - means it needs weeding and maintenance work performed by tending with an activated [[rake]]. ** "freshly sownRotting old weeds")- means the field has gone unmaintained for too long and can no longer be harvested for useful produce.
Level 20 farmers * '''Those with a farming skill below 15:''' can determine see the state of growth level of a field, whether or not the field is tended or untended, and which type of crop is growing in a field (except when merely sprouts), on the field tile they are currently standing on. The levels are, chronologically sorted:
* '''At level 15 farming skill:''' players can mouse over a field and determine crop type, and whether or not the field is tended or untended, up to one tile away.
* '''At level 20 farming skill:''' players can further determine the growth level of a field. The levels are, chronologically sorted:
# You see a patch of freshly sown field.
# A few green blades pop out of the ground.
# The field is almost at full height.
# '''The field is at full height and ready to harvest!'''
# '''The field is at full height and ready to harvest!''' (Used to be: The field is overaged, and some crop has been ruined.)
# (rotten old weeds, crops completely ruined)
Level * '''At level 30 farmers farming skill:''' players can go on to determine when if a field is ready tile needs tending/farming from up to harvest by activating a farming tooltwo tiles away. The growth status of nearby fields Field ripeness can be seen in the tool-tip when hovering over the checked from up to one tile. At even higher farming skill this tooltip shows at greater distancesaway.
The stages displayed * '''At level 60 farming skill:''' players can determine the number of items they will get after a harvest when they examine the field. It should be noted, however, that the number shown here is more of a minimum approximation (in orderdue to the other factors that also go into determining harvest counts) are:# Freshly sown# Sprouting# Growing# Halfway# Almost ripe# Ripe# Only weeds.
Level 60 farmers can determine the number of items they will get after a harvest when they examine the field. It should be noticed however that the number it shows it not very accurate but more of a minimum since luck ==Field Tending Success and other factors change the final number.Farming Skill Gained Therein==
== Tools ==When tending a field, the player will receive one of five possible end results. Each provides a different message in the player event window, and each provides its own unique amount of skill-gain. The five possible field-tending results are as follows:
* [[Rake]] for The field is tended - Failure* The field is now tended - Weak success, always a farmingskill gain* [[Scythe]] for harvesting [[wheat]]The field looks better after your tending - Mediocre success, [[barley]]sometimes a farming skill gain* The field is now groomed - Good success, [[oat]] and [[rye]]no farming skill gain* [[Small barrel]] to indicate perfect harvesting time; the crops will be the same heightThe field is now nicely groomed - Excellent success, or slightly higher than a small barrel when ready to harvest.no farming skill gain
== Farming Products Warning Messages==*''The ground is too moist here, so the <item> would rot.'':Occurs when trying to plant crops on a tile that is 1 or more dirts below the water table. :Also could present itself with the message ''The water is too deep. You cannot sow that <item> there.''* [[Barley]]''This type of crop can only grow in water of suitable depth'':Occurs when trying to sow reed or rice that is not a suitable depth. Reed and Rice can be planted in a depth between 1 dirts and 4 dirts below the water table. :Can also present itself in the form of the message ''This type of crop can only grow in water of suitable depth.''* [[Corn]]''The water is too deep to plant the <item>.''* [[Cotton]]:Occurs when trying to plant a crop on a tile in which the northwest corner of that tile is more than 0 dirts below the water table. * [[Garlic]]==Skills & Characteristics==* [[OatNature]]> Farming* [[OnionBody]]* > [[PotatoBody strength]]* [[PumpkinMind]]* > [[RyeMind logic]]* [[WempSoul]]* > [[WheatSoul depth]]
