With a farm, you can plant crops, create fishing traps, craft Essence of Life, and much more. Our handy Hytale farming guide is here to help you get earn that green thumb.

Hytale Farming Guide

Those familiar with Minecraft will find plenty of similarities when it comes to farming in Hytale. You must use hoes to till the earth, you can place seeds onto the freshly tilled ground, and you can water the seeds to speed up the growing process. To till with a hoe, you must right-click on a patch of grass, and you'll right-click while holding a seed to plant it. Watering cans need to gather water from a river or lake with a right click, but you can also hope for rain to water your crops as well. All of this should make Minecraft fans feel right at home, but there are a few key differences to be aware of in Hytale. First, you cannot collect seeds for crops by collecting said crops. For example, gathering wheat will not give you wheat seeds. Luckily, you can still easily acquire seeds so long as you create a Farmer's Workbench. To craft one, you'll need a standard Workbench and the following ingredients:

• Any Tree Trunk: 6
• Plant Fiber: 20

At a Farmer's Workbench, you can craft the seeds that you need as long as you have the required amount of Essence of Life. Additionally, you'll need a Farmer's Workbench to craft all types of hoes, a watering can, and all of your farming needs. However, it's important to remember that most workbenches have different tiers. The Farmer's Workbench is no different, and it actually has ten tiers of upgrades. At each tier, you unlock more recipes. You'll unlock new seeds, new farming tools, new decorations, and more. If you want to become a master Hytale farmer, you need to regularly upgrade your Farmer's Workbench over time. Additionally, there are even more seed recipes you can unlock with memories at the Forgotten Temple.
