* The [[maximum slope]] on which you can sow seeds is 8, where 8 = (highest north-south tile border's slope) + (highest east-west tile border's slope). For example, the slope can be level EW and 8-steep NS, or it can be 4-steep EW and 4-steep NS, etc. Attempting to sow seeds on a greater slope results in a message "The ground is not flat enough for crops to grow. You need to flatten it first". Farm tiles function the same with a slope 8, flat or anything in between.
→Notes: Added a helpful vusual aid (table) to further explain how slope affects farming.

* No plowing or sewing is needed.

* Crops can take several real-life [[day]]s to grow, during which, a farmer should tend ("farm") the field [[tile]]s to remove weeds. This can be done approximately once every real-life day and will improve the eventual harvest. [[Quality]] and yield of the harvest also increase with higher farming skill.
* Crops can be harvested at any time after the first growth level, but harvesting too early or too late results in zero or reduced return. When the farm is ready to harvest (ripe), the crop will look visually look "ready" and will also relate this upon examination. Fields take between 3 and 5 real-life days to ripen. See the "Images" section below for pictures of each crop in the ripe stage.
* The quality of the [[seed]] does not affect the growth time of the fields.
* Clearing crops that have turned to weeds will return one seed.
