Farming and Weather

Solarpunk farming and weather guide covering raspberries, hoeing, seeds, watering, rain, storms, greenhouses, sprinklers, and clean water.

Farming is the first survival loop. Raspberries matter early, plants only grow when watered, and weather can help or hurt the field.

What To Do With It

  • Grow raspberries early because they are directly called out as important food and a small thirst helper.
  • Hoe fields for random seeds and saplings; discovered plants can also appear while tilling.
  • Rain automatically waters fields, but thunderstorms can damage grown plants if they are not sheltered from the wind direction.
  • Harvest before storms or shelter crops with a greenhouse once your base is ready.

Player Route

Keep the first farm small and close to the daily route through storage and crafting. Expand only after you understand water demand and storm risk. Raspberries are the safe early anchor, rain helps watering, and greenhouse or shelter planning matters once a storm could damage valuable grown plants. Food should support exploration rather than trap you at base.
