AboutWith the Agriculture Skill learned a Tilled Field can be built using the Till Field action. Having Any Hoe equipped decreases both the Phlegm cost and the time it takes to build a Tilled Field. How to Plant Crops
SeedsWhat produce is dependent on the Seed Planted, the Influence of the Tilled Field, and sometimes the growth stage the crop is harvested at. The amount of Seed required varies by crop and by the Tilled Fields's Upkeep.
StatsTilled Field's have 4 stats, which can be viewed when right-clicking on a Tilled Field.
InfluenceA Tilled Field has four Influence bars - Red, Blue, Green, and Pink. Each crop has a bar which its crops influence and two which it is in turn influenced by. The tier of produce, and the amount of each produce received, at harvest is determined by the sum of the two bars it is influenced by. When a Tilled Field is harvested, the bar which the harvested crop influences will increase by ???x times that Tilled Field's Influence percentage and the other three bars will be reduced by that much. Learning the Three-field System Skill will increase these gains and loses to 5x times. A Tilled Field's Influence is reset after each harvest but the bars are not.
NOTE: In the above table Potatoes can be used in place of Cabbage, and Tobacco can be used in place of Cotton. UpkeepUpkeep affects the amount of resources needed to replant a Tilled Field - the lower the Tilled Field's Upkeep the less Humus and Seeds will be needed. Normally a Tilled Field's Upkeep has a Cap of 50%, however, once the Plantation Management Skill has been learned, with Any Hoe equipped, you can right-click a Tilled Field and select "Tend" to permanently reduce it's Upkeep Cap. This reduction is based off the type of Hoe used. After each Planting your Tilled Field's Upkeep will drop 5%, additionally Upkeep can be further reduced by the Fertilizer used during Planting, down to it's Cap. ScarecrowsIf a Crow lands anywhere on your Tilled Field, it will increase that Field's Upkeep to 600%. A Questionably Effective Scarecrow, when placed nearby, will prevent Crows from landing on your Tilled Fields. NOTE: The entire Tilled Field must be withing the radius of the Scarecrow's protection to prevent Crows from landing. If a Crow does land in your Tilled Field the most effective recourse is to Destroy it with Coarse Salt if the Purity is low, or using 30x Humus and 1x Potato Chunk or 1x Wild Tuber to reset your Tilled Field to 100% Upkeep. SpeedSpeed reduces the time it takes for crops Planted in a Tilled Field to reach maturity. Speed is affected by the Fertilizer used during Planting. As Speed affects the time remaining not the total time, it is advised to use Speed Fertilizers early in Planting as they be progressively less effective the closer the crops are to harvest. A Tilled Field's Speed is reset after each harvest.
PlentyPlenty increases the amount of crops you receive when harvesting a Tilled Field. While Plenty is affected by the Fertilizer used during Planting, a bonus is also given at the time of Planting which is based on chance and your Stocks & Cultivars. A Tilled Field's Plenty is reset after each harvest. FertilizerOnce a Tilled Field has been prepared with Humus and Planted with Seeds, you can add Fertilizer to your Tilled Field to modify your its Influence, Upkeep, Speed, and Plenty. However, each Fertilizer used reduces the effectiveness of next. Fertilizer can be added by selecting the desired Fertilizer and right-clicking it on the Tilled Field.
NOTE Values for Influence are factored with the bonus from having learned Three-field System. HarvestingWhen your crops have matured, or reached the desired stage, right-click on your Tilled Field and select "Harvest". After a Tilled Field is Harvested, Influence, Speed, and Plenty are reset. Using the Salem Store bought Reaping Scythe will dramatically increase the speed which you harvest mature crops from a Tilled Field. Farming PurityThe Purity of crops Harvested from a Tilled Field is based on a combination of the Purity of the Tilled Field, the Purity of the Seeds used when Planting, and chance, which may increase or decrease the Purity of a Harvest by a few percent. Each time the Harvest is higher than the Tilled Field's Purity that Field's Purity will permanently increase by up to 1%. Destroying a Tilled FieldA Tilled Field can't be Destroyed by normal means, but requires the use of Coarse Salt. To Destroy a Tilled Field select a Coarse Salt and right-click on the Tilled Field. You will need enough to first lower the Tilled Field's Purity to 0, after that, each subsequent Coarse Salt added will deal damage. Each Coarse Salt reduces the Purity by 5% or deals 20% of damage.
