As long as the mature plants are harvested promptly, dwarves can grow multiple plantings in the same plot each season. Cave wheat, sweet pods and quarry bushes grow 67% slower than other crops, though they generally provide more valuable ingredients. ( Milling does not increase stack size.) These larger stacks (including booze!) are generally not usable directly as food, but can be cooked into prepared meals. Processing quarry bush plants into quarry bush leaves at a farmer's workshop also quintuples stack size, as does processing sweet pods into dwarven syrup. Legendary farmers more frequently produce larger stacks - up to 6 plants each (with an average of 3.12) without fertilizer, or up to 10 plants each (with an average of 5.12) when fertilized.īrewing always quintuples stack sizes for example, a stack of cave wheat is brewed into a barrel of dwarven beer at a still. Your dwarves can plant 1 seed per tile on each farm plot, and depending on the skill of the grower, whether the farm plot was fertilized, and random chance, each planted tile will yield a stack of 1-9 plants each harvest cycle. However, be aware that the more and larger your farms are, the more time and effort must be accorded to their maintenance. Farming can produce enough crops to satisfy part or all of these requirements. Dwarves require approximately 2 units of food and 5 units of drink each season.
