Farming, Water, and Weather

Solarpunk farming guide for raspberries, seeds, hoeing, watering, rain collectors, wells, clean water, storms, greenhouses, and sprinklers.

Food and water should be solved before ambitious building. The launch tips are clear: raspberries are important early, plants grow only when watered, and rain can both help fields and make storm protection relevant.

Early Farm Plan

1. Collect or plant raspberries first.
2. Use the hoe to till fields because random seeds and saplings can appear.
3. Keep the first field small enough to water quickly.
4. Craft a rain collector for clean drinking water.
5. Move toward sprinklers once watering interrupts exploration or building.
