Core Keeper Farming Basics

Farming is literally at the centre of how you'll be progressing in Core Keeper, and the benefits it brings about from early to endgame are pretty big. For farming, you need to craft some basic tools first.

Wooden Hoe: Crafted with 4x Wood at the Basic Workbench.
Watering Can: Crafted with 4x Copper Bars at the Basic Workbench.

Note: Currently, seeds can only be obtained from the wild. NPCs do not sell seeds for planting yet.

Once you have your Wooden Hoe, Watering Can, and seeds, follow these steps to set up your farm:

Till the Ground: Use the Wooden Hoe to prepare the soil.
Plant Seeds: Place your chosen seeds into the tilled soil.
Water the Seeds: Use the Watering Can to water the planted seeds.
Wait for Maturity: Plants take approximately ten real-life minutes to mature.
Re-Water as Needed: Some plants may require additional watering during growth.
Harvest the Crops: Once matured, harvest your crops.

Note: You have a 75% chance to recover a seed after harvesting a plant. If you have the Grateful Gardener skill, this chance increases to 100%.
