Plant farming

Description
Plant farming is the process of harvesting wheat and mushrooms. Plant farming is mainly for food necessary to feed the colony.

Water is required for plants to grow. To acquire the water necessary, Farmers need to have Rain Barrels that have been filled with rain.

Sun is also needed for wheat growth. Most days have sunlight to grow wheat crops but on occasion, a notification that ash clouds are blocking the sky which prevents wheat crop growth for that period.

Darkness is needed for mushroom growth. If there is a block directly above the mushrooms, this will allow for the mushrooms to grow. Mushrooms do need water as well but make sure the rain barrel is not covered by a block or it will not fill with water for the plants.

Farmers will automatically harvest wheat and Dwarves with then take the wheat to the nearest stockpile where it will await use from the Cook.

* Note: It is understood mushrooms are Fungi but for the sake of this page, they will be referred to as plants.
