Agriculture

Agriculture allows players to grow their own food. Currently there are only three types of crops, broad beans, peas and turnips. Agriculture provides a good source of food, although there is a long time lag between sowing the crops and harvesting. Crops start to become ready in late summer, through to late autumn. It is possible to receive more than one crop when you pick it, and the longer you wait the more likely you will get more than one crop per harvest.

In order to start farming, land needs to be prepared with a shovel. This land needs to be fertilized with the remains of a fire. A popular method is to arrange firewood in a rectangle like the diagram below: 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 etc. where the numbers represent how much firewood is on the tile. Light the tiles with 2 firewood on them, and wait. Of course, other types of fuel can be chosen, but firewood is often used for its quick burning time.
