Well, trees are already regrowing in Survival: Fountain of Youth, and we decided to develop this idea even further, especially since the more activities there are to do, the better. So…
Prepare to reap the harvest!
NEW ITEMS: SEEDS
How to get seeds? When you gather resources from certain plants or trees, there is a certain chance to also receive this nice-looking bag with seeds. Well, we know they don't naturally come in bags, but let's be honest, they’re much easier to sort out this way!
You will be able to grow many different plants that are already familiar to you, along with some new ones (around 20 in total).
NEW MACHINE: FARM
Obtaining seeds is only the first step. Some logs and a shovel - and you’ll be able to build a farm with six slots to grow your plants. There are three tiers - basic, improved, and excellent - with water tanks of various volumes and different times for plant growth.
WATERING AND FERTILIZING
Experienced farmers know that water is the main thing a plant needs to grow. Clean water, to be exact. Good news: farms automatically collect water when it’s raining. So, it's up to you whether to build more water collectors or learn some rain-summoning dance.
For already-grown plants, you can use fertilizers. Fertilizers are made of rotten food in a compost pit - another new machine type. Increasing the speed of fruit/flower/leaf growth + utilizing some of that rotten food = win-win!
NEW SKILLS: FARMING
Growing plants levels up your new skill - farming. It will give you some nice perks: reducing the time it takes to grow a plant, speeding up the resource recovery in plants on a farm, higher chance of collecting seeds from plants on a farm, etc.
And be ready to grow a garden your grandmother will be jealous of!
New autumn plants for your cozy screenshots! Can’t carve it though, but maybe in the future…
While you were reading our guide on farms, the Snake region release date moved a bit closer! It will be announced next week, so prepare your shovels, and if you have any questions about farms, the upcoming update, our plans, or basically anything, please bring them in the comments!
