Crops are one of the two methods a farmer can use to make money, the other being livestock.
A field can be created in a clear 8x8 square using the PLANT control.
If ground conditions are not right for the selected crop, and icon will appear to indicate the problem.
| Icon | Problem | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Wave icon | Too much water in soil | Place more dry/empty irrigation ditches beside the field |
| Cow skull icon | Not enough water in soil | Connect irrigation ditches beside the field to a water source, or add more wet irrigation ditches |
| Skull icon | High soil toxicity | Change the type of crop growing in the field or stop growing crops. May take time to resolve. |
| Fertilizer icon | Low soil nutrients | Spray fertilizer |
| Worm icon | High levels of pests in field | Spray pesticide |
| Weed icon | Too many weeds in field | Spray herbicide |
| Diseased corn icon | Crop infected with disease | Spray fungicide |
Each crop has unique requirements for water, temperature, and growing time.
