Tools:


* Building tools. Hammer, printer, wrench.
* Harvest tool. Looks like a pair of sheers. Used to harvested ripe plants, and clear out dead ones.
* Shovel. Used to till soil to make it more fertilized and therefore increase crop output.
* Seed Bags. Currently using a watering can model for this, but a little bag model would be great. Used to plant seeds you bought or grew on planting soil.
* Watering can. Will be added in once I get a seed bad model. For now you just click plant bricks to water them.
Bricks:
* Planting soil brick. Costs 500$ and is where you plant crops. Can be tilled to increase output.
* Sprinkler brick. Costs 2500$ and will water each adjacent brick once per minute. Can be toggled on and off.
* Heat lamp, increases tempature of nearby plants. Allowing growth in winter, and faster growth during spring and fall.
* Plant fence. Used to plant plants that grow on fences. Currently only used for grapes.
* Large soil (bush) brick. Used to plant larger plants, like bushes or trees. Currently used for blueberries.
The Government:
* The government. Whenever you buy crops, pay to build, or pay for a special brick, the government gets that money.
* When you sell crops, you sell them to the government, and it loses a bit of money.
* Sometimes, the government will payout a stimulus, based on how many players are in the server, and how much money it has.
* If the government has no money, you can not sell crops for a short time.
* Also, it does cost a little bit to build regular old bricks.
How to get started:
* (read the tutorial in game!)
* Find an empty lot, NOT A ROAD, and /buylot
* Make a baseplate on the empty lot you bought.
* Make a few planting soil bricks on that baseplate.
* Optional: till the soil bricks with the till soil tool. (the shovel)
* Type /buy <crop> <amount> to buy starter seeds. If you wanted to buy 5 potatos you'd type: "/buy potato 5"
* Use the respective planting tool (the watering cans) and click each brick ONCE to plant a seed there.
* Click the brick to water it.
* Each stage will require the plant to be rewatered. You can tell if it needs water if the soil is lighter colored.
* Once the plant is ready to be harvested, get out the harvest tool and hit the plant's brick.
* One stage too early and you'll get half the harvest. Any earlier and you'll get nothing. Wait too long and the plant dies.
* Optional: Use some of the harvest to replant, unless you want to try a different crop.
* Type /sell<crop> <amount> For now there's no space between /sell and the crop. If you wanted to sell 5 corn you'd type "/sellcorn 5"
* Repeat and expand!

A while ago I hosted a farm mod, as I was preparing to add it into Blocktopia. The farming server got quite popular, whereas the complete Blocktopia server did not do as well. So I figured I'd just continue developing a simple farming server. If anyone would like to make a few simple models for me (tools mostly) I'd really appreciate that and add your name to the credits/topic. Also, I am indeed planning on making more types of crops. (And tools, and bricks) But I want to get the core mechanics working first.

You can only harvest the crops of yourself and people you have full trust of.
