About
Agriculture allows one to use the Till Field action under the Build.
A Tilled Field is required to plant any seeds.
Agriculture also unlocks the ability to plant Cereal Seeds and Rip Up fields. 'Rip Up' removes the immature plants from a field and yields no return of seeds and no effect on the Influence bars; good for fixing mistakes of accidentally planting the wrong seed in a field.
Planting
To Plant crops, you must first prepare your Tilled Field with Humus. Select the Humus you wish to add and right-click it onto your Tilled Field. For a fresh Tilled Field this will require 5x Humus. After your first planting, the Upkeep can be reduced and subsequent planting will require less Humus. Once your Tilled Field is Prepared, select the Seeds you wish to plant and right-click them onto the Tilled Field as well. Reduced a Tilled Field's Upkeep will also reduce the number of Seeds needed for Planting. Once the seeds are planted, you can Fertilize your Fields. After a period of time, your crops will grow and you can then Harvest them.
Influence
A 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 crops which will grow are determined by the sum of the two bars it is Influenced by.
Sum | Tier |
0 to 50 | 1 |
50 to 100 | Both 1 and 2 |
100 to 150 | 2 |
150 to 200 | Both 2 and 3 |
When a Tilled Field is Harvested, with the Three-field System skill learned, the bar which your crop Influences will increase by 5 x Influence Percentage and the other three bars are reduced by 5. The increase will be less if you have not yet learned Three-field System. Your Influence Percentage is affected by the Fertilizer you used during Planting.

skill.) The other
For example, the field
has had its influence bars raised by growing cabbage, grains, and cotton. Higher tier products can be obtained on this field: either tier 2 Cabbage or Cereal or tier 3 Cotton, Tobacco, Pumpkin, or Corn. The relevant influence bars for each type of crop are as follows.
One way of taking advantage of the tiered system is to designate a primary crop for each field and rotate crops that raise the bars it needs to get better products for that crop. For example, for better types of cotton, you can first grow cabbage and cereal to raise the first and second bars.
- Note: avoid using +speed fertilizers late in the cycle. There is almost no return for getting a few extra percentage to the speed when there might only be a few hours left for the field to grow.
Finally, when the crops are grown, they can be harvested; the harvest entry is added to the right-click menu for the field. Be careful, since some crops can be harvested at several stages:
- pumpkins can be harvested at any time once they start growing (in other words, they've grown at least one stage after planting) and return different products;
- Corn has two harvesting stages: baby corn first, then full ears of corn.
- Cereal Fields yield one Ear of Cereal per 50 points of Plenty, rounded up. The Ears of Cereal yield one seed per point of Plenty when threshed, or 0.01kg of Flour when milled.
- Cotton Fields yield one Raw Cotton per 20 points of Plenty, rounded up. Each Raw Cotton can be cleaned to produce Cotton. Each Raw Cotton will yield one seed per two points of Plenty.
- Potato yield one potato per 20% of Plenty.
Crop Tiers
Fields will produce higher tier crops as the influence bars get high enough. The following is a table of the various tiers of crops.
Growth Time
The base growth time are as follows:
