Choose the Plot Before Placing It

Soil placement defines the shape of the future farm. Leave room for walking, watering equipment, crop collection, and a defended approach instead of filling every available tile.

Starter Farm Layout

  • Keep the first plot close enough to water manually.
  • Use straight rows if a Vacuum Pump or watering arm will be added later.
  • Store spare seeds away from the planted crop line.
