How is the Farm Management System working?
All over the map you can find seeds. You can also find them in Gear Crates, Ship Wrecks and DMS Missions.
When you have found seeds, you can plant them via double click in your territory. You can plant a maximum of 10 plants per species, depending on the territory level. The following levels are needed:
Base Level 1 - 4: One Plant
Base Level 5 - 9: Two Plants
Base Level 10 - 14: Three Plants
Base Level 15 - 19: Four Plants
Base Level 20 - 25: Five Plants
Base Level 26: Six Plants
Base Level 27: Seven Plants
Base Level 28: Eight Plants
Base Level 29: Nine Plants
Base Level 30: Ten Plants
Every plant need to be irrigated and fertilized. You can do both 30 times, but only once per server period. When you plant the seeds, the plant needs at least 5 days to grow. So after 5 days you can harvest it. The more you water and fertilize it, the more it returns when harvested. For every activity you need a tractor. You can check the status of your plants in the XM8 Commander.
The maximum amount of returns is 15 items per plant.
For irrigating you need a Water Canister with Fresh Water or a Bottle of Fresh Water.
Organic Fertilizer can be crafted from: Rotten Item/Meat/Fish (+1 Fertilization level)
Chemical Fertilizer can be crafted from: Rotten Item/Meat/Fish + Gun Powder (+ 2 Fertilization level)
You can craft the Fertilizer with a Empty Food Canister you can buy. The rotten fruits can be found everywhere on the map and also on DMS Missions. Gun Powder can be mined.
A water pump ("Water Pump") can be used to irrigate several plants in the immediate vicinity. The Composter can be used craft raw meat and/or vegetables/fruit in Fertilizer. Note that no Chemical Fertilizer is produced here.
A Composter can be used to convert fruit into rotten fruit (Rotten Item). The Composter can also be used to produce Fertilizer with the corresponding items in the Composter. This is always done at the start of the server.
Some plants give rotten fruits when harvested. The probability is 1:1.
The selling price for drugs per plant is at least 35,000 Poptabs, depending on the skill up to 500,000 Poptabs.
