Necesse Farm Guide — Best Crops & Maximum Profit

Farming in Necesse provides food for cooking and a steady income stream. Here's every crop ranked by profit, with tips to automate your farm.

How Farming Works

  1. Craft or buy seeds
  2. Place Farmland tiles (crafted at a Workbench)
  3. Plant seeds on farmland
  4. Wait for crops to grow (5 growth stages)
  5. Harvest — you get the crop + 1-2 seeds back
  6. Use Fertilizer to speed up growth (Farmer NPC can apply it)

Automating Your Farm

  1. Recruit a Farmer NPC — they automatically plant and harvest
  2. Provide Fertilizer — the Farmer will apply it to speed growth
  3. Place storage chests near the farm — settlers haul crops automatically
  4. Assign multiple Farmers for large farms
