You probably have some knowledge after reading those basic guides by now. However, the food wont last for long. You need to farm it! This will cover FARMING, a relativity easy thing to do.

BASICS

To farm things, you need compost! To do so, you need to PROCESS small leaves or large leaves, depending on the type of crop. Currently, we'll talk about small plants

Processing small leaves yields Small compost, which can enable you to plant "small" plants like onions. At this level, you can plant

Berries,  Onions, Flax flowers (they make flax plants) and Carrots

'''To plant, click the compost, then the plant, ten click Process item. If done correctly, the plant should disappear. Then, you wait (You don't have to water the plants, just wait).'''

"Aww man, I don't have that time to wait that long!" you whine. Don't worry. Scroll down to FERTLIZING to learn how to fertilize your plants.

LARGE COMPOST

Farming with  is the same thing, the only difference is the type of plants. After planting around 6 carrots/berries/onions/flax flowers, you should be able to plant Herbs and Apples. Herbs require SM. compost while apples require large compost. Large composts are made by processing large leaves. When you get the apple, it's the same thing Compost + plant + Process item.

At level 2, you can also make a Chicken Coop! (Small bush stump x2 + nest + egg)

At level 3, you can plant Prickly Pears (Small compost) and Wheat (Large compost). I recommend gathering and planting HEAPS of wheat, since they are VERY important for middle-endgame life and large tribes.

At level 4, you can plant corn! (Large compost) You haz corn bread? :3 You can also hatch chickens at this level! (Nest + egg + Process item)

At level 5, you can plant apples and wheat on FERTILE large compost! You can also make a Hen House! (2 walls + plank + Large leaves + thatching). At level 6, you can plant corn on fertile large compost!

Finally at level 10, you can plant MUSHROOMS! You need to use moss instead of compost. Mushrooms are found in 2 places, moss only one...But I will leave the exploring part to YOU! I would recommend only planting mushrooms if you or someone in your tribe is a good chemist.

FERTILIZING

First, you need to make a Lumbermill (3 walls and large leaves). Once you have that, place the lumbermill down then get a bush stump. Once you have the bush stump, drop it into the lumber mill to get Woodchips]Woodchips. To fertilize the compost, use this recipe: Small/Large compost + Woodchips + Process item. IF done correctly, you should see the woodchip disappear. If not, you clicked the wrong button or the compost is fertile already. Beware, like stated above, you need a higher farming level to plant crops on large fertile compost!

Fertile compost basically reduces the time for the crop to grow, and also increases the amount of crops produced if allowed.

That's it! Now you know the art of farming! SEE YA SOON :D
