Farming is a game mechanic in My Time at Sandrock that allows the player to grow crops in their Workshop and then use the products for crafting and cooking.

Farming becomes available after the player receives the recipe for crafting a Basic Planting Kit from Zeke during The Grass is Greener. Using the planting kit in the workshop allows the player to access the farming interface.

Basics[]

Using the planting kit in the workshop for the first enables the planting mode. The player can enter the planting mode again anytime even if they remove the planting kit from their inventory.

In the planting mode, the player has the following options available:

⁠⁠Planting Mode commands
Icon	Description	Explatation
	Create Straw Grid	Creates a Straw Grid on the selected square to prepare the soil for planting. Each square of straw grind requires 1 Straw. Straw can be purchased at Water World or Farm Store. The straw grid persists until the seed planted in its square is uprooted or harvested.
	Apply Biocrust
	Plant seeds	The player can choose any seed from their inventory to plant it into the prepared soil. Note that some seeds require 2x2 or 3x3 square area to grow.
	Water	Water crops. Empty plots cannot be watered.
	Apply Fertilizer	Apply Fertilizer to crops. Empty plots cannot be fertilized.
	Root out plant	Removes any seeds or crops planted in the selected square. The items received depend on the crop and the growth stage it was in.
	Remove the soil	Removes any prepared on unprepared soil from the selected square.

All crops from the table below drop nothing when uprooted during their first growth stage and one Food Scraps and one Plant Fiber when uprooted during their second growth stage before they are ready to harvest.
