How to Plant in Soulmask

Planting is an important aspect of the Soulmask world, and to thrive, you shouldn't depend on hunting alone. This option is not as enjoyable as hunting, but it will provide you with a steady supply of fruit and vegetables for longer periods of the game. In Soulmask, planting seeds is easy, but it requires your full attention since you will be watering the plants, adding fertilizers, and adjusting their temperatures.

These will take a chunk of your time, but the end results will be gratifying. In this guide, we will show you how to plant in Soulmask, as well as all the follow-up activities that come with planting.

Planting in Soulmask

As mentioned earlier, planting Soulmask will ensure a steady supply of food at your base. The process is divided into three phases. They include;

• Unlocking the Plant Technology
• Gathering Seeds
• Planting Seeds

We will explain the steps involved in each of these phases so you can start planting immediately.

Unlock Crop Planting Technology

Similar to most activities in Soulmask, planting requires you to unlock some branch from the Technology Tree. This means unlocking the Crop Planting method in the Knowledge and Technology menu under the Dawn of the New Tribe Category. To do this, open the menu by pressing T, then navigate to the “Dawn of the New Tribe” Category. Under Crop Planting, invest your tech points to unlock the following aspects;

• Farmland: For planting
• Fertilizer: Improve your crop’s growth
• Fertilizer Bucket: For making fertilizers
• Seed Selection: For selecting various seeds to plant
• Well: This structure is optional, especially if your base is close to water bodies. The structure will provide water for irrigation.

As we said, unlocking all these will cost tech points, so you better save up for them. These points can be earned by leveling up your Awareness ability. After building all these requirements, process to the next phase of planting.

Gathering Seeds

Since you cannot plant without seeds, the next step is to obtain seeds. Soulmask provides two methods of collecting seeds. They include exploring ruins and chests for them or building a Grinder. Now the first method is easy because players explore ruins even at the early stages. The second method is easy too, and it will ensure a constant supply of seeds. The materials for crafting a Grinder are 10x stones and 5x planks.

Once you have the equipment in your base, you can make seeds from several fruits and vegetables at your convenience. Some of the fruits and vegetables that can be converted at the Grinder include;

• Cashew
• Corn
• Guava
• Tomato
• Papaya
• Chili
• Peanut
• Pumpkin

Planting Seeds

In Soulmask, you can't just plant anywhere, which makes setting up farmlands around your camp compulsory. To build this farm at your base, the materials required include:

• Clay x20
• Stone or Flint x39

Once the farm is built, select your preferred seed and hover around the spot where you want to plant it. Now, consider planting similar crops together so it becomes easy when applying the fertilizers.

Fertilizing Your Plants

To boost the growth of your crops, consider adding fertilizers. Depending on the crop, you can make different types of fertilizers with the Fertilizer Bucket. Making this item also requires some materials, such as stone x10, plank x10, and clay x20. The bucket can be placed anywhere in your camp and it is for making different types of fertilizers. To see which type of fertilizer your plant needs, hover around the seedling. The types of fertilizers include;

• Compost (All crops): Requires tree bark x2. Additional materials are fiber x10, thatch x10, and vine x10.
• Ash (Pumpkin): Requires feces x2 and fire ash x5.
• Bone Powder (Corn, Cashew, Peanut, Tomato, Papaya): Requires feces x2. Additional materials are bone powder.
• Stone Powder (Chilli, Guava): Requires feces x2. Optional materials are acidic fluid x5 and niter powder x5.
• Compound (All crops): Requires compost x10, ash fertilizer x10, bone powder fertilizer x10, stone powder fertilizer x10.
• Nitrate Ore (All Crops): Requires water consumption x50, fire ash x10, and linen x5. Optional materials are feces x30 and compost x30.

Adjusting Your Crop Temperature

Not all crops are the same in Soulmask, and some of them will require a particular temperature to grow properly. In this case, an Air Heater or a Cooling Table is what you need for your farmland. Each of these equipment has material requirements to craft them. They include;

• Air Heater: Iron ingots x48, premium leather x39, hardwood plank x20, leather rope x20, and rubber x20.
• Cooling Table: stone brick x48, premium leather x39, clay x39, and hardwood plank x20.

Watering Your Plants

Planting in Soulmask is similar to real-life situations where your plants need water to grow. You have to build a water source near your base to ensure a constant water supply. After that, craft a water bucket for transferring water to your crops. These buckets can be made on the carpentry table with these materials: plank x10, copper wire x2, and wooden handle x2. Once you've crafted the bucket, use it to collect water from your water source, which could be a well or a river.

Use Reliable Game Servers

If you wish to have a seamless gaming experience when playing in the Soulmask world, then consider using trusted servers. For your hosting purposes, Scalacube is the number one server. They have quite a number of interesting features, one of which is the flexible storage (players can have either SSD or HDD storage) capacity. But that is not all! Numerous other advantages abound and one of them is that there is 99.9% net uptime and unlimited traffic so that you can reach out to your favorite game in comfort.
