Farming

Koa can grow crops, plant trees and raise animals on her island.

## Crops

Crops is a big part of the game as they are used for Koa to cook, feed to animals and/or sell. The land has to be prepared before Koa can plant the seeds. Crops will grow regardless of whether Koa waters them, but watering them will help them to grow faster. Each day watered (from the well or through rain) accelerates growth time by 1 day.

Seeds can be bought from merchants, gained in quests, found in barrels, crates and received from messenger crabs. Crops that are harvested has a varied sell price as different characters will buy them at a different price if it is their favorite item.

### Fertilizing

Koa can fertilize the crops by going to the small corner that has fertilizer, pick them up and run over the prepared plots. Fertilizer can be found around Mara as well as made using a recipe. In order to know if the crops has been fertilized, there will be a star above the growth time of the crop as well as small dark brown dirt that can noticeably seen on the soil. The soil can only be fertilized on plots that does not have any seeds planted yet as well as plants which has not been sprouted. This means that even though you have planted the seed, you can still fertilize the plant as long as you have yet to water the plant.

### Watering

   Koa can water the crops by going up to the wells and running over the crops. Watering can enable the crops grow count to go down by 1 and it can be shown by the different colour soil as well as a blue line will circle around the growth time. Wells can only be filled up by rainwater and if rain comes down, there is no need to water the crops.

#### Types of Well

Different wells have different amount of water stored inside, as well as increase the limit of trees that can be planted by different amounts.

 Big Well | 10
 Water Tank | 15

### Harvesting

After the growth time has gone down and the number no longer shows, Koa can now harvest the crops. Harvesting is a simple action where Koa just goes up to the crop and the prompt on harvesting will come out. The crops will immediately enter her inventory. Unfertilized crops will yield 4 of the crop you plant and fertilized crops will yield 6.

## Flowers

Some flowers can be harvested in the wild using an upgraded Hoe. Once harvested, they can be planted in flowerpots, where they will grow and yield more of the flower. Flowerpots can be watered once a day just like other crops. Watering a flowerpot decreases the time until harvest by one day.

## Trees

Trees can be planted using any Hoe on Home Island. How many you can plant depends on how many wells you build. If you walk into any tree while carrying a lit torch, the tree will catch fire and produce 1 Coal.

### Plantable Terrain

Trees can only be planted on certain terrain specific to the type of tree:

* Flat terrain is anywhere on the grassland that's not on top of the hill.
* Higher ground is on top of the hill, near the fireplace and the statues.

## Animals

### Livestock

Livestock gives you additional recources and makes your life easier.

#### Obtaining

To get the different animals, you first have to build their corresponding homes. You just need the materials and reach certain points in the game to build the homes for your new friends.

After building the correct animal pen, Koa can sometimes find a crate with an animal in it while at sea. interacting with the animal moves it to your boat, rescuing it. Reaching your home island, the animal will then move to their homes.

#### Feeding

Different animals require different types of food. Feeding livestock contributes to the creation of animal products. It is not necessary to feed the animals as they do not die.

Every time, you give your animal some food, a blue line will indicate and show where the product will be made and the circle of the food will fill up. Once the gauge has been filled up, you can collect the corresponding product. You don't have to feed every animal 4 times, but you have to feed four times. So If you have for example 4 chicken, you have to feed every chicken once to get the product and when you've got two chicken, you have to feed every chicken twice.

#### Harvesting

Harvesting is a very simple process. Like when harvesting crops, Koa just has to walk up to the specific area and collect the item using the right command. Once the animal product is ready to be collected, an image of it in a circle will appear with a light blue background to indicate that the gauge has been filled.

**Note: If you feed an animal when the product gauge is filled, it will not overfill. Make sure you collect the product before feeding animals for it to count in the gauge.**

#### List of Livestock

### Other Animals

Koa can feed and pets different animals on other islands, that might come to live on their island.
