Ultimate Guide to Core Keeper Farming

Introduction

Welcome to the ultimate guide to farming and gardening in Core Keeper! Whether you’re new to the game or looking to improve your farming skills, this guide has got you covered. From basic farming techniques to crafting the Core Keeper Sprinkler, we’ll explore everything you need to know about farming in Core Keeper.

How to Farm in Core Keeper

Farming in Core Keeper is a breeze once you have the right tools. To get started, craft a Copper Hoe to till the ground and a Watering Can to water your plants. Plant seeds by right-clicking on tilled earth with a seed in hand. Wait patiently for your crops to grow, and remember to water them occasionally. Investing in Farming skills increases your chances of getting more seeds and bonus crops. You can use the crops you grow for crafting and cooking purposes.

Obtaining Seeds

Seeds can be obtained from various sources in Core Keeper. Slimes in the Dirt Biome are a reliable source of seeds, especially for beginners. You can also find seeds by harvesting wild plants or looting chests and crates. If you venture into the Azeos’ Wilderness biome, you’ll come across yellow plants that yield random seeds when destroyed.

Managing Water

Don’t worry if you don’t have a water source near your farm. With a shovel, you can dig up the ground and water will flow into the hole. Create a trench to direct the water wherever you need it. It’s recommended to keep a pool of water nearby your farms to avoid constantly refilling your Watering Can.

Crafting and Using the Core Keeper Sprinkler

The Core Keeper Sprinkler is a fantastic addition in The Sunken Sea update that automates the watering process for your crops.

Unlocking the Core Keeper Sprinkler

To unlock the Core Keeper Sprinkler, you’ll need to complete a series of tasks:

1. Defeat Glurch, Ghorm, and the Hive Mother.
2. Upgrade your weapons and armor to the Iron tier. Build an Iron Workbench with wood, tin bars, and iron bars.
3. Journey to the Azeos’ Wilderness and mine Scarlet Ore. Smelt the Scarlet Ore into Scarlet Bars. Construct a Scarlet Workbench with tin bars, iron bars, and scarlet bars.
4. Use the Scarlet Workbench to build an Automation Table with mechanical parts, iron bars, and scarlet bars.
5. Finally, craft the Sprinkler at the Automation Table using scarlet bars and iron bars.

Using the Core Keeper Sprinkler

Using the Core Keeper Sprinkler is a breeze. Simply place it on the ground, and it will automatically water all the surrounding tilled soil in a 5×5 area.

How to Make a Wood Farm in Core Keeper

Creating a wood farm in Core Keeper is surprisingly simple. In fact, it’s easier than farming any other crop.

To start, till some dirt with a Hoe and prepare a Watering Can. Plant a Root Seed at the center of a 5×5 tilled area. As the seed grows, roots will sprout from the central plant. Harvest the wood by breaking the excess roots, but be careful not to break the center piece as it will continue to produce wood as long as there is enough space.

Coral Wood, on the other hand, can be found in The Sunken Sea biome and follows a similar farming process. However, you’ll need Beach Sand Ground for the Coral Wood to grow properly.
