Once you rescue the Farmer NPC inEnshrouded, you can begin to farm your own crops. This cuts down on the time spent gathering wild plants, as you can farm them directly from your base. Farming has a few steps involved, especially with the unique addition of the Seedbed.
Here, we are going to take a complete look at all there is to know about farming. This will cover how to begin farming, as well as every plant that you can grow from your base. The growing process is fairly low-effort, but the initial challenge comes from gathering all the necessary materials.
Enshrouded is currently in Early Access on Steam and as such, the content is subject to change. We will update these articles as required.
How To Get The Farmer NPC
As with all other NPCs in Enshrouded, you will first need to rescue this NPC from her vault. This vault islocated north of the Springlands Ancient Spire,which you can see marked on the map above. From the tower, simply glide north until you come to a structure built into a hill.
Once you make it inside the vault, you will need to complete a puzzle,requiring you to activate three buttons, which are scattered throughout the halls.When all three buttons have been activated, you can head into the main room to awaken the Farmer.
With the Farmer unlocked,head back to your base and place her with your Summoning Staff.you’re able to place her anywhere, but be sure that she is sheltered. This will let you take full advantage of her crafting options.
How To Make A Seedbed
To farm, you will first need tomake a Seedbed.This can be made from the Farmer with the following materials.
Farm Soil
Farm Soilis another resource that can be made by the Farmer, which will require the following.
How To Use The Seedbed
Once the Seedbed has been placed, interact with it.If you have already gathered a certain growable plant,then it will appear in the recipes section. Many seedling recipes require one plant and some water, however, this can vary. Be sure to check the required resources!
Above, you can see the Indigo Seedling option, which requires the basic growing resources (water, soil, Indigo). By pressing select,the Seedbed will be set to produce the seedling.
When you place the required materials in the Seedbed, processing will begin. This Indigo Seedling willtake ten minutes to process, yielding five seedlings for you to use.Certain crops yield more though; for example, you will receive20 corn seedlings at a time.
How To Place Seedlings
Once the seedlings have finished processing, you can put them in your inventory. With the seedling in your hotbar,simply hover over it and click where you want it to go.
Seedlings can berelocated after placement,but once they’re fully grown, you will need to harvest them. Doing so will remove the crop; if you want more,you will need to make more seedlings from the Seedbed.
You do not have to prepare the ground or water the seedlings; they will grow on their own until it’s time to harvest.
How To Make Every Seedling Type
Now, let’s look at every seedling option in the game. To unlock each recipe, you will need tofind the plant in the wild first.As such, you will probably not have all of these unlocked when you first make the Seedbed.
