Building a new life in InZoi involves a lot of tasks, from finding a new job and making friends to exploring hobbies that keep you busy. At the same time, you’ll need to find ways to meet your basic needs. One great option is farming.
With the Cahaya Resort DLC, you can try farming on a tropical island to grow your own crops. It’s more challenging than it seems, but we’ll guide you through growing various tasty ingredients you can use in your favorite dishes.
How to Start Farming
Before planting crops, you need to buy some equipment. Go into build mode, open the outdoor furniture menu, and select the gardening option. Gardening and farming are part of the same skill tree, but they mainly differ in the types of crops you grow and how you tend to them. Potted plants and herbs grow only one at a time and have fewer maintenance options. Instead, you should buy dirt plots that you can place in your yard.
Pro Tip: Potted plants yield one product at a time, while dirt plots produce four.
You don’t need tools to start, but it’s a good idea to buy them early. Visit your local farming supply store on the map and pick up a pitchfork and watering can to till soil and keep your crops moist. If you’re living on the island, you’ll get a free home farming kit, too!
Where to buy seeds
To plant crops, you first need seeds. Head to the farming supply shop on your map. You can buy different types of seeds here, with prices fluctuating based on availability and current events. Natural disasters, for example, can make it harder to get supplies and cause prices to go up.
You can purchase various seeds, including:
- Tomato Seeds
- Potato Seeds
- Carrot Seeds
- Corn Seeds
- Banana Tree Seedlings
- Mango Tree Seedlings
Each crop has six different harvests. It’s smart to stockpile seeds when prices are low so you can practice farming and build your inventory. One seed packet will fill a whole plot with four standard crops.
Note: A tree seedling will be planted alone and will take up a whole plot.
How to grow crops
Growing crops takes more time than potted plants. You can check their status by hovering over them—to see moisture levels, nutrients, and time left until harvest. Water and fertilize your plants regularly to improve your chances of a better crop. While daily watering and fertilizing might seem like a lot, they help ensure healthy plants.
If moisture or nutrients drop too low, your crops may become buggy or wither away, reducing their quality. You can still cook with these damaged crops, but it’s not recommended.
Be sure to look out for weeds and pull them immediately—they can harm your harvest quality. Once your crops are ready, harvest them and decide whether to cook with them or sell them at the local market. You can buy a stall for your property or set up on a multipurpose lot and start selling crops to earn money. Remember, larger and healthier-looking crops typically fetch higher prices!
