Tips

• Weight 0.2 per unit; factor it into inventory capacity when gathering.

Farming

Flax Sapling is the plantable form of Flax Fiber. It can only be sown in a Seedbed for Plants, which itself requires Fertile Soil to craft. After planting a single seed the crop matures in 1h 10m of real-time growth, then yields the outputs listed in the harvest table below. Replanting is self-sustaining: every harvest refunds at least one seed.

Planting

Planting requirements for the Seedbed slot. Growth time is fixed regardless of player skill level or in-game season.

Harvest

Quantities below are the per-harvest ranges at 100% chance. The seed drop refunds the planting cost, so a single sapling produces a net gain on every cycle.

From Flax to Linen

Flax Fiber is the first link in the cloth chain. Raw fiber is spun into Linen Fabric at the Spinning Wheel, and linen is then what most cloth armor pieces and the Brigantine sail and rigging recipes call for. Keeping a planted Flax Sapling rotation in a Seedbed for Plants removes the need to comb the Foothills for wild flax once your base is established.

Where to Spot Flax in the Field

Flax grows wild across the grassy mainland sections of the Foothills. Plants cluster in batches of 3 to 4 and produce distinctive purple flowers that stand out against the green grass even at medium camera distance.

Harvesting is no-tool; simply interact with the flowering plant to collect Flax Fiber. The plants do not require a pickaxe or sickle, which makes them a safe gather target even on low-gear exploration runs.

Best Use

The main downstream product is Linen Fabric, crafted at the Spinning Wheel. Linen Fabric feeds the Brigantine design chain and a large share of mid-game armor upgrades, so any Foothills run should pause for flax if the player still needs linen.

Farming at Base

Once Fertile Soil is unlocked, flax becomes farmable at your own base. Planting flax saplings in cultivated planters removes the field-gathering dependency and stabilizes Linen Fabric supply for the rest of the run.
