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.

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℃.
4. Rutabaga completely replaces Onions if the enableNotOnions option is true.

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

Currently the following cereal products can be used to breed Jungle Fowl, Mouflon/Sheep, Wild Horse, Wild Ass, and Aurochs.

Barley Grain

Maize Ear

Oat Grain

Rice Grain

Rye Grain

Wheat Grain

And the following vegetables can be used to breed Wild Boar.

Cut Brown Mushroom

Carrot

Garlic

Onion

Potato

And when domesticated into Pigs you can use any food (even Cut Red Mushroom which is poison to yourself when uncooked).

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.
