How to Use NPC to Farm in Sengoku Dynasty

A quick guide to NPC farming. I’ll add a full section to my comprehensive guide but there’s a lot of confusion right now so I wanted to get something out here for players quickly.

مقدمة

With the new farming update now firmly in place, it’s time to get your people to work! بعد كل شيء, you’ve done so much for them, حقا? Isn’t it time they returned the favor?

Farming was added in a recent update and NPC farming was introduced shortly thereafter. The ability to automate farming will free up an immense amount of time, موارد, and storage space for one major reason:

NPC farmers don’t require a hoe, fertilizer bucket, or water bucket. All they need is a seed bag and they’re good to go!

(بالتأكيد, this might change in the future but, في الوقت الراهن, run with it!)

NPC FARMING AND YOU

There’s been some confusion in how this process works so let’s go through it step-by-step, هلا فعلنا?

أولا قبل كل شيء, you’ll need fields. Only one NPC can work a single field at a time. The NPC is limited to how many plots in the field they can work. This starts at 24 and increases to a maximum of 32 when you have maximum happiness on all 6 current needs: Meals, Beverages, Heating, Maintenance, شفاء, and Security. لذا, the largest useful field for either land or water is 32. For symmetry, 4×8 is a nice, rectangular field that you can line up nicely. Here’s an overhead shot of one of each (taken from the room of my general storage):

لذا, how’d I get those farmers out there, working?

أولاً, go into the Dynasty Screen and select the jobs tab. Find your fields:

and select one. I chose water field for this example. التالي, you’ll see the field UI.

It comes already selected with a crop for that field (Lotus for Water, Garlic for Land). Click on the image of the crop to select which one you want your worker to plant. For this exercise, I chose rice.

The UI will update with the appropriate crop. التالي, you need to assign a worker. Choose one from your list.

أخيراً, click on the red seed bag box below the crop image in the UI.

and select the appropriate seed bag. Now we’re set!

The water field will update in the main game to show the worker and the crop.

The same process works for land fields but you have a lot more choices.

A quick note on seasonal crops. In the above image, you’ll see up to 3 symbols next to each crop. In order, they are Spring (green leaf), صيف (yellow sun), and Fall (red leaf). No crops currently grow in winter.

With your crops set up, you’ll begin to see the work appear over time.

This is purely aesthetic though. The real work only occurs, as with all other production, during the season change. Your new crops will appear in your food storage (with the exception of Tea Leaves which are marked as beverage for storage purposes).

وهذا كل شيء. Hope this clears things up for you.

SEED BAGS

With NPC farming, your list of items needed to farm decreases drastically. حاليا, instead of a bunch of stuff cluttering up your inventory, you need only one thing: Seed Bags! قَوس, how does one get them?

نحن سوف, for many items, you’ll have to head down to Aratani and find this guy:

He’s a major wanderer so you may have to look around a bit but he does like hanging out near the Tavern. The farming trader has some nice stuff from time to time but his real worth is in seed bags. His stock is randomly shifted every season so if he doesn’t have what you want, come back next season. أحيانا, it’s a real pain in the backside though. I went 5 YEARS before the guy got a single seed bag of soy. لذا, a little patience (or end-of-season save-scumming) will be needed.

لذا, you got a seed bag, use it and notice a catastrophe! They have durability and they’ll break!!!

OH NO!!!

تمام, maybe just a

smidgemelodramatic. لكن لا تخف. Once you grow a crop once, you’re in business for the entirety of your game. Because you can make your own at the Tailor’s workbench.

Why the tailor? Because seed bags are made from 4 leather and a variable number of harvested crop. Makes sense, حقا? لذا, head to your Tailor’s workbench and pop open that UI.

On the left, you’ll see selections for both land and water field bags. We want to make a rice seed bag (cuz our last one fell apart, the rotten thing). لذا, select Water Fields Seed Bags. A New radial will pop up with your options.

Here you can see the cost of all the seed bags in the category.

لذا, when a crop comes in and before you let those ravenous NPC’s eat, grab enough to make a new seed bag. Always have at least one spare seed bag for each operation NPC field. They will automatically take a new one when their current one breaks (usually 2-3 seasons max).
