Obtaining

Wild Crops

Crops spawn randomly in the wild, with each individual type spanned out over an 8x8 chunk grid. This means the player will have to explore quite some distance in order to gather every single type of crop. Wild crops only generate from Late Spring to Late Summer, and have a chance to regenerate during those seasons once every year.

Seeds

Harvesting a crop will always drop at least a single seed, as well as increase the player's agriculture skill by 1. The higher the player's agriculture skill, the more likely that a second seed will drop as well, allowing for farm expansion.

In addition, if a crop is left to die from cold or some other factor other than the player breaking it, the crop may drop multiple seeds, depending on the type. The amount of seeds that drop is proportional to the amount of food the crop would have dropped had it been harvested, meaning it depends on the nutrient content of the soil. A crop will always drop at least one seed.

Crop Types

Planted crops mimic real life in how long it takes for them to grow before they can be harvested. Note however, that these values have been scaled to fit within the length of a TFC year which by default is only 96 days.

1. Bell Peppers can be harvested both when the pepper is immature: green, and ripe: red or yellow.
2. Will survive freezing temperatures while still young.
3. Very sensitive to the cold. Can die at temperatures as high as 5℃. Sugarcane is the most sensitive to temperature
4. Rutabaga completely replaces Onions if the enableNotOnions option is true.
5. Needs to be planted while the player has a ladder in their hotbar. Grapes are harvested by right-clicking instead of breaking.
6. Grapes take more than a year to grow (default year time).
7. The maximum number of blocks away from water this crop can grow. In areas with high rainfall, every block will count as being close to water regardless of the presences of any water blocks. At 400 rainfall and above, everywhere is at least 4 blocks from water. At 950 rainfall and above, everywhere is at least 3 blocks away. At 1500 and above, 2 blocks away. At 2000 and above every block counts as 1 block from water - therefore in extremely wet climates every crop can grow anywhere.
8. The temperature ranges are approximately as follows: -8℃ and below - Polar, -8℃ to 5℃ - Boreal, 5C to, 15℃ - Temperate, 15℃ to 20℃ - Subtropical, 20℃ to 30℃ - Tropical, 30℃ and above - Equatorial.
9. The rainfall ranges are approximately as follows: 0 to 200 rain - Desert, 200 to 400 rain - Arid, 400 to 750 rain - Dry, 750 to 1000 rain - Moist, 1000 to 2000 rain - Wet, 2000 to 10000 rain - Rainforest, 10000 rain and above - Extreme Rainforest.

Mushroom Farming

Brown Mushrooms and Red Mushrooms may be found growing wild in shady areas, or easily obtained by breaking Leaf Litter below Trees. Once obtained, you can plant them on Dirt in shady areas to grow more (up to 5 in an area). To turn them into Food, craft them with a Knife (before this point they can not decay). Note that Red Mushrooms are poison if not cooked.

Usage

The majority of harvested products from matured crops can be eaten directly by the player, making them a renewable source of food.

Animal Husbandry

Main article: Animal Husbandry

Jungle Fowl, Mouflon/Sheep, Wild Horse, Wild Ass, and Aurochs can be bred using the following items:

Barley Grain

Maize Ear

Oat Grain

Rice Grain

Rye Grain

Wheat Grain

Wild Boars can be bred using the following items:

Cut Brown Mushroom

Carrot

Garlic

Onion

Potato

Domesticated pigs can be bred using any food, including Cut Red Mushroom, which is usually poisonous.

Soil

Farmland, also known as soil, contains three basic nutrients for crops and gives your plants that important access to water, if any source is close enough. By using the water and nutrient modes of metal hoes you can get a visual indicator on the plots on the levels of nutrients and the access to source water.

Nutrients are diminished by the growing of crops in the soil and replenished over time by either letting the plots "fallow" for a season, using fertilizer, or by planting your crops in cycles, choosing a crop that has a different nutrient requirement than the ones that are depleted in the earth. Note: Some crops such as soybeans and green beans replenish the other nutrients as they grow.

Unlike in vanilla, farmland cannot be trampled or reverted back into dirt. Breaking a farmland block also yields no dirt as a way to prevent nutrient exploitation.
