May 12, 200620 yr Right, here goes. I have at last started farming, everyone who does it seems to think its good and I have a fair few reasonable seeds from monster / bird nest drops cluttering my bank. Anyway, one small problem: I suck something awful at farming :) I have a few questions, or ideas I need clarifying if you would be so good. (BTW its only allotments for now, start small and all that :) ) 1. I see this 'farming clock' ticking over, from the guide I assume I need to check the health of my plots every time this happens yes? Do I just 'Inspect' the patch to do this? 2. Is it necessary or in any way advantageous to water the crops at every tick? 3. The flowers in the middle. Can I just leave them there for multiple crops of potatoes , onions etc? Is there anything to do with them if I pick them? I have looked at the many guides on here, which are very helpful but, I feel, pitched at people above my negligible level of farming intelligence. Thanks in advance (this may be the first of many posts!) df

Is there anything to do with them if I pick them? 1) Ok, so at every tick your plant will either grow one stage bigger, or it will become sick. Both of these are obvious, and sick plants are even called "diseased ---s" when you hover your mouse over them. If plants are sick, plant cure them before the next tick or they'll die. 2) By watering your plants you ensure that they will not become diseased at the next click and will grow then, so it is advantageous. You can only water vegetables, hops, and flowers, not herbs or any trees. 3) The flowers you can leave as long as you want. If you pick them you'll get one of that flower (or more if it's woad or limpwurt, and limpwurt always gives 3) and the plant will be gone and the plot will become empty. If you just leave them, they'll stay there in their adult stage and continue to protect the designated plant and never die.

Yes, this means I look exactly like the protagonist of that certain anime that my second character, Faye_V is also named after. Yes, I bought a jacket that also looks like his. No in real life I don't have a slain bear to sling over my shoulders. Yes, I'm that skinny even if I no-life it for years in basements. No, I can't shoot a gun. Yes, I can win any other strategic video game you have never played - because I probably have, ahahaha. And yes, I also have brown eyes, yet one of my eyes looks different from the other. And yes, I'm completely oblivious to the [real] world around me as I constantly engineer new solutions to daily problems in my head. When I get hungry, all that isn't food can wait. When I'm sleepy - nothing is of any priority in front of sleep. But at any other time, I never slow down. Never give up. Never Surrender. Makes for a good life.[hide]YOU'RE GONNA CARRY THAT WEIGHT.- See You, Space Cowboy.[/hide][/hide]
May 12, 200620 yr Author Excellent. Thank you very much, I shall be alright for potatoes and onions from now on. As if that wasn't enough excitement for one night, I can now grow guams! For my next trick: five hours sleep before work tomorrow :( (damn farming). But seriously, thanks :D
