Guide: How to Farm for Quality

[daemmonium]

Farming is a bot job, why complicating it so much? Grab as many seedbags as you can, get a couple of LCs near the fields and it's done. Herp a derp!

Well since we're giving our methods in this thread now...

Timber house with one wall lined with empty cupboards. Just harvest your field until your inventory is full and hop over to the house and quality dump all your seeds into the first cupboard, go out and harvest again, repeat. Once one cupboard is full (2 harvests), then quality sort out of that cupboard and into the next, repeat ad nauseum. This method can take down a 10x10 field in no time as well as absolutely ensuring you the highest quality seeds for replanting. I can't imaging searching in and out of seedbags all day long.

I just use a 3x3 [QUp] Field total harvest will be a 27 Seeds and a LC next to my field. Sort out 9 best seeds to replant and record on my spreadsheet (yes i know right...).

The remainding 18 will be planted in a 2nd tier field as I call it 3x6. Usually this 2nd tier field wont be replanted or in the case of wheat moved into a 9x6 field (Cause i cant be bothered to sort all that) for mass harvesting for flour.

Works for me cause this is all i can fit on my damn plot

How do you efficiently place these fields?

This is how my plot looks like so I managed to fit it all into it for all major crops.

Not saying this is the best way to do it, but its the system that I use and it reduces my sorting time.

PS: that long grassed area is for pumpkins

Nice.

I prefer keeping it a bit more traditional though. My current farm looks like this:

(partially shown south - 2 30x40 fields for wheat and hemp)

Would go for bigger, but my plot is limited hehehe.

Old World 3 Bevelle Farm was very huge since I ran the city.

My current farm looks like this:

What are the the red squares? Are you using banners?

[WarpedWiseMan]

My guess is beehives.

red = banners
yellow = beehives
