Line 1: Line 1:
Managing crops can easily be done by creating custom stockpiles for the various crops. It is also important to have a great deal of barrels to store the seeds and food in, reducing the amount of space the stockpile takes up. To increase productivity it would also be useful to have multiple fields, so that you may grow all the various crops at once. with all this, food management comes more easily and fluidly after setting these simple measures up.

This article is about an older version of DF.
  • Create a custom Template:L near your Template:L which will only accept Template:Ls. This will consolidate your seeds into one place, instead of having them littered all through the Template:L. As a large number of seeds can be stored in a single barrel, this stockpile can be only three or four tiles. Alternately, you can make a more traditional sized custom stockpile, which only accepts seeds and bars of Template:L for fertilizing.
  • You can also create a custom stockpile that will only accept Template:Ls, to avoid having it all mixed up with your Template:L and Template:Ls. It would be a good idea to have this stockpile near your Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, etc.
  • Use the Template:L menu, and go to the Kitchen tab. From here you can see how many of each kind of food you have.
    • If you're running out of a certain kind of seed, toggle the corresponding plant "Cook" setting to red. Template:L plants doesn't leave a seed.
    • If you have too many of a certain kind of seed, toggle the seed "Cook" setting to blue. Just make sure you check on the stocks (or just forbid one seed and leave it for emergency) and toggle it back before you run out!
