Core Keeper Farming Basics

From the beginning stages all the way to the end game, Core Keeper players can gain lot by farming in Core Keeper. Below are the materials required to craft the basic variants of the first tools you'll need for the job, the Wooden Hoe and the Watering Can.

• Wooden Hoe: Combine 4x Wood at the Basic Workbench
• Watering Can: Combine 4x Copper Bar at the Basic Workbench

Note: At the time of writing, players can only acquire seeds from the wild. NPCs don’t sell seeds for planting yet. Next, place the Wooden Hoe, Watering Can, and your preferred seeds in their respective slots in your hotbar. Then, follow these steps to create a farm:

1. Select and till the ground using the Hoe
2. Plant the seed on the tilled soil
3. Use the watering can on the planted seed
4. Wait 10 real-life minutes for the plant to mature
5. Occasionally, the plant will require re-watering as they grow
6. Harvest the plant once it matures

Note: Players have a 75% chance to recover a seed after harvesting a plant. This becomes a guarantee if the player has the Grateful Gardener skill.
