Today, I’m diving into some of the nifty tricks I’ve discovered in farming, specifically focusing on soil and water management.
These tips will revolutionize your farming experience in Enshrouded and make farming a breeze.
How to Farm in Enshrouded
First things first, before we can even farm, we will need things to start our farming journey. Make sure to have the required materials and equipment, such as Soil, Water, a Rake, a Pickaxe (which will come in handy), a Well, and, of course, Plants and Seedlings.
Soil
Starting with the basics, we have three types of soil: Dirt, Farm soil, and Fertilized Farm soil. If you’re aiming for efficiency, Fertilized Farm soil is your best friend. It accelerates crop growth significantly – we’re talking four times the speed or more!
Infinite Soil Trick
Now, here’s a neat trick: You can infinitely duplicate your Fertilized Soil. Just rake your fertilized soil to gain elevation and then dig it up with a Pickaxe. Voila, more fertilized soil without using up your original supply!
Once you’ve mastered Soil duplication, expanding your farm becomes a piece of cake. Just make sure to adjust your Rake angle to match the height of your fields. This way, you can maintain a consistent farming area. A neat tip to remember is that you can just hold the button when raking, no need to keep clicking it.
Infinite Water Trick
Water is crucial, but it can be a hassle to gather in large quantities. Here’s a workaround: free a weapon slot, pick up, and place the well again to reset its water supply. Repeat this process, and you’ll have an infinite water source right at your farm!
Optimal Plant Selection
When it comes to choosing plants, consider what you need for recipes and other in-game requirements. Here is a list of Plants that you can consider when building your farm:
- Flax – Revelwood is known for its blue Flax flowers, essential for crafting Linen.

You’ll also need water for most crops, but with your new infinite Water supply, that’s no longer an issue. Remember, some plants like Flax require a bit of patience, but the reward is worth the wait.
