== What is farming? ==
Farming is one of the core features of Castaways. The original 2 crops are [[Sugar Cane]] and [[Palm Tree]]. Sugar Cane can be harvested and the plant directly replanted on [[Grass]] or [[Sand]]. Palm Trees yield wood and [[Coconut]]s, and the coconuts can be planted on [[Sand]] or [[Grass]] to grow more palm trees. The [[Homestead]] Update introduced many more [[Crops]]. In order to grow these crops the player first needs to gather the corresponding [[Seeds]]. '''Seeds drop from the [[Bird Feeder]] when [[Bird Feeding]].'''
Farming is one of the core features of Castaways. Currently, there are only 2 types of crops, [[Sugar Cane]] and [[Palm Tree]]. Sugar Cane can be harvested and the plant directly replanted on [[Grass]]. Palm Trees yield wood and [[Coconut]]s, and the coconuts can be planted on [[Sand]] or [[Grass]] to grow more palm trees.  


With the [[Homestead]] Update more [[Crops]] will be introduced, but in order to grow these crops the player first needs to gather the corresponding [[Seeds]]. They can drop from [[Treasure Chest]]s or from the '''[[Bird Feeder]]'''. Note, these new crops will NOT drop additional seeds, and the treasure chests and the bird feeder will be the only way to get more seeds.
== How to Farm ==
 
* Castaways farming is made up of day and night cycles.  
With the [[Homestead]] update, the game will have day and night cycles.  
* During the [[day]], birds will come to [[Bird Feeder]]s to eat the fish inside, and will poop. In the poop you can find seeds used to plant crops.

* You CANNOT replant the fruit from crops that grow from seed
* Crops produce a random quantity of 1-3 each harvest

== Farming 101 ==
=== Step 1- Hoe the Grass, Get the Dirt ===
'''You need'''<br>
[[File:Icon blockGrass.png|30px|link=]][[Grass]] or [[File:Icon blockDirt.png|30px|link=]][[Dirt]]<br>
[[File:Icon woodHoe.png|30px|]][[Wood Hoe]] or [[File:Icon stoneHoe.png|30px|]][[Stone Hoe]]
 
'''Procedure'''<br>
 
Make a Hoe => Hoe the grass => Grass becomes plantable dirt!
[[File:Farm Step 1.png|thumb|center|Hoe the Grass, Get the Dirt.]]<br>
 
=== Step 2- Feed thy Birds, Get thy Seeds ===
There are two ways of getting seeds right now.<br>
1. Open the Treasure Chest, you may get seeds.<br>
2. Make [[File:Icon birdFeeder.png|30px|]][[Bird Feeder]], feed the bird, and get seeds from their poops.<br>
 
'''Procedure'''<br>
1. Place the [[File:Icon birdFeeder.png|30px|]][[Bird Feeder]].<br>
2. Put Fish into it, the rarer the fish, the more likely you will get rare seeds.<br>
3. Wait for the seagull and when they come, get their poops!
[[File:Step 2-1.png|thumb|center|Seagull is eating the fish.]]
<br>
[[File:Step 2-2.png|thumb|center|Pick up the poop and get your seeds!]]
 
=== Step 3- Plant the seed, Water the life ===
Seeds need to be watered every 24 hours, there are two ways of watering.<br>
1. Wait for the rain, it will water the seeds automatically.<br>
2. Use [[File:Icon wateringCan.png|30px|]][[Watering Can]].<br>
Notes: You might get [[File:Icon worm.png|30px]][[worm]] by watering! Worms can used to enhance your chance of getting big fish when fishing.
 
=== Step 4- Shoo the birds, Protect your plants ===
At night time, seagulls will come and try to destroy your plants. You must protect your plants against seagulls!<br>
There are two ways of doing that.<br>
1. Use [[File:Icon flareGun.png|30px|]][[Flare Gun]]. Remember, each flare gun can only be used once.<br>
2. Make [[File:Icon scarecrow.png|30px|]][[Scarecrow]], and place them besides your plants. <br>
[[File:Step 4-1.png|thumb|center|Use flare gun to shoo the seagulls!]]<br>
[[File:Step 4-2.png|thumb|center|Scarecrow with a Milo face.]]
 
=== Step 5- Take your time, Wait for Harvest ===
Plants take 1 ~ 28 days to grow, depending on which type of seeds you're using and what your soil quality/type is.<br>
Mind the wither Time, If you don't harvest ripe plants in time, they will wither and eventually die!<br>
You can refer to the charts below.<be>
 
== How to Get More Dirt? ==
Dirt is the essence of Castaways's Farming System. Crops and Trees(except for [[Palm Tree]] must be planted on Dirt. But how to get more Dirt?<br>
Well, there are two ways for you to get Dirt at this moment.<br>
=== Hoe the [[File:Icon blockGrass.png|30px|link=]][[Grass]] ===
Each island starts with 12 [[File:Icon blockGrass.png|30px|link=]][[Grass]]. You can use [[File:Icon woodHoe.png|30px|]][[Wood Hoe]] or [[File:Icon stoneHoe.png|30px|]][[Stone Hoe]] to transform them into Dirt.<br>
However, this process is irrevocable. So make up your mind before you do that.<br>
'''Procedure'''<br>
Make a Hoe => Hoe the Grass => Grass becomes plantable Dirt!
[[File:Farm Step 1.png|thumb|center|Hoe the Grass, Get the Dirt.]]<br>
=== Synthesize with [[File:Icon composter.png|30px|]][[Composter]] ===
A more sustainable way to get Dirt is by using [[File:Icon composter.png|30px|]][[Composter]].<br>
To synthesize Dirt, you need sand and crops. <br>
Sand: Dirt ratio is 1:1, while Crops: Dirt ratio depends on which type of crops you're using. <br>
For example, you need 2 [[File:Icon carrot.png|30px|]][[Carrots]] for 1 Dirt, but with [[File:Icon cabbage.png|30px|]][[Cabbage]], the ratio is 1:1. <br>
The use of [[File:Icon composter.png|30px|]][[composter]] is the same as [[File:Icon blockFurnace.png|30px|]][[Furnace]] with only one exception--you need to left-click the composter.
[[File:Dirt-composter.png|thumb|center|Put Crops and Sand into the composter!]]<br>
 
When the Dirt appears, break it! This is how you synthesize Dirt.<br>
 
[[File:Getting Dirt.png|thumb|center|Break it!]]<br>
 
'''Procedure'''<br>
Put Sand and Crops into Composter => Left-Click the Composter => Break the Dirt<br>

Farming is one of the core features of Castaways. The original 2 crops are Sugar Cane and Palm Tree. Sugar Cane can be harvested and the plant directly replanted on Grass or Sand. Palm Trees yield wood and Coconuts, and the coconuts can be planted on Sand or Grass to grow more palm trees. The Homestead Update introduced many more Crops. In order to grow these crops the player first needs to gather the corresponding Seeds. Seeds drop from the Bird Feeder when Bird Feeding.

How to Farm

  • Castaways farming is made up of day and night cycles.
  • During the day, birds will come to Bird Feeders to eat the fish inside, and will poop. In the poop you can find seeds used to plant crops.
  • In order to plant the seeds, you need to till the soil using a Wood Hoe or Stone Hoe
  • The crops will need to be watered using a Watering Can. Occasionally when watering a Worm will appear.
  • During the night, birds will come to eat your crops. You can scare them away using a Flare Gun or by placing a Scarecrow.
  • When the crops are mature they can be harvested for their corresponding fruit (e.g. Corn seeds will yield Corn, tomato seeds will yield Tomatos)
  • Crops produce a random quantity of 1-3 each harvest
  • You CANNOT replant the fruit from crops that grow from seed, only seeds can be planted
