Keep Natural and Farmed Supply Organized

Cotton can enter the base from exploration or farming. Store it near the recipes that consume it and avoid using every seed if the farm is meant to provide a repeatable supply.

  • Harvest natural Cotton when it fits the current route.
  • Keep planting stock separate from crafting stock.
  • Add a dedicated crop row only when demand is repeatable.
