Farming and Flora

Farming is the slower, calmer pillar of Romestead. The Farmstead and Farm Land buildings produce crops; the Beehive produces honey; the Watermill and Manual Mill process grain. Ceres is the god aligned with this entire system, and her Blessing of +25% overall Health makes a farming-focused build strong on its own.

Farm Land

Farm Land is placed by the player as buildable terrain. A Bucket of water is poured onto Farm Land (press E to empty since patch 0.22.1_7). Crops are then planted from Seeds and harvested when grown. Trees cannot be planted inside other trees (patch 0.21.1_8 fix).

Crop seed drops were nerfed in patch 0.23.1_7, so seed scarcity is part of farm planning. Fruit tree seed drops were fixed in patch 0.21.1_5.

Pine Nuts and Stone Pines

The Stone Pine grows in stages with growth stage additions in patch 0.22.1_6. Pine Nuts replaced the original Nuts resource in patch 0.22.1_8. Trees that fall and shrink visually were fixed in patch 0.19.2_7.

Beehive

The Beehive produces Honey, Honey Comb, and the Queen Bee. The Farmstead now gathers honey into its output inventory (patch 0.23.2_0). Beehive recipe was added to the philosopher tree in patch 0.22.1_7; beehive looting was fixed in patch 0.23.3_1.

Animals

The settlement chain consumes animal products: meat from pigs, deer, boars, and goats; eggs from livestock; wool from sheep; cured hides from larger animals. Pigs, mice, deer, goats, wolves, squirrels, and a unique white deer (added in 0.23.1_10) appear in the world.

Fishing

Fish are caught from water bodies. The fish market returned in patch 0.22.1_7; the eel market in patch 0.22.1_6. Strange Crab Meat is a rare fishery drop.

Farmsteads in Co-op

In co-op groups, dedicating one player to farming smooths out food and Ceres-aligned offerings for the whole party. Citizens with the Quick or Meticulous trait assigned to the Farmstead double down on the output.
