In Core Keeper, the worlds are the games made from some united and jointly split concepts of exploration, mining, and agricultural. The latter requirement, to some level, demands a soil-deep understanding of the basics of agriculture on the part of the one using the developed designs.
One of the fundamental activities is planting seeds, and learning to do so is far more complex than just throwing seeds into the soil randomly. Actually, it's a process that requires attention to detail and a bit of strategy.

Getting Started with Your Garden
Before you plant anything, you'll need to tend to your garden. First of all, you need to find a good spot to do this in the underground world of Core Keeper. Look for fertile land, which is indicated by its darker shade of soil. Once you've found the perfect place, it's time to break up the soil with your hoe. Tilling will turn basic ground into farmland, readying it for seeds.
Choosing Your Seeds
Different seeds are available for players in Core Keeper, all with different uptick times and conditions. Some thrive much better in one biome than others, and so on, all these seeds can either be acquired through foraging plants or purchasing from the trader.
Planting Your Seeds
With your farmland ready and your selected seeds at hand, it's time to plant. Open your inventory, select seeds, and left-click that tilled soil to put them in place. That means, however, leaving some space between them because they will affect one another if grown too closely together.
Watering and Caring for Your Plants
After sowing, seeds require moisture to grow. Bring the watering can and water the soil. It should look darker as it gets wet. The plants should be regularly watered until maturity for harvesting.
Harvesting Your Crops
Pluck the plants once they are mature. You can tell it's time when their appearance changes. You can collect your crops by just clicking on the plant. You may also get more seeds to replant in the future.
Expanding Your Farm
The farther you go in Core Keeper, the more tools and equipment you will have for farming. It's then that you can finally expand a garden, build irrigation to water automatically or spray fertilisers to fasten crops' growth and increase yields.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can get more seeds by collecting crops or by buying them from the trader with the in-game currency.
Seeds must always get cultivated on tilled soil in fertile farmland. One can also identify fertile land due to its dark color and permissive nature to pursue farming activities.
One thing that is unlike real-life flora is the fact that, in Core Keeper, crops do not need sunlight to grow; they will grow as long as they are watered and in the appropriate biome.
Growth time varies depending on the plant. Some take a few in-game days, while others take longer. Keep an eye on the growth stages so you'll know when it's ready to harvest.
