Productive Farming

Productive Farming is the (at the time of making this) the newest Productive Mod. This Mod brings an auto Farm Multiblock Structure, new Crops, and more Flowers and dye Colors for them! It also works hand-in-hand with Productive Bees and Dyenamics!

Asks for: Dirt

Similar to Cross Breeding with Flowers, we can do the same with Crops! When Bees Pollinate in an area with specific Crops, some might Mutate. Check JEI to see which Crops you'll need to Breed.

The Farm Controller is the heart of the Auto Farm, a Multiblock Machine perfect for all Farms! I will explain how to Build it in the next Quest, here I'll just explain how to use it. This Auto Farm will grow, Harvest, and Replant all Crops growing within the Structure. From Productive Farming, Mystical Agriculture, and Vanilla Crops all can be Grown! It will collect all Drops in the Controller, these can be taken out manually or through Pipes.

Now we get to the Building part. First is the Blocks of choice. You may see a massive list of Blocks you can use to finish the Quest, these are all the Blocks that can make up the Structure. (Basically any Brick and Glass). You can mix and match any of the Blocks as well, it's not picky! The actual Structure is just the Walls and inside space. The Walls need to be made out of these Blocks while the inside needs to be below a certain amount of Blocks in volume. The smallest you can make is 2x2 Auto Farm. The largest is however you can get 200 Blocks of inside Volume. I say Volume because it counts the area as 2 Blocks Tall to include the Crops themselves. That means if you have 10x10 inside area, it will be max size. The inside is where your Farmland or Water or whatever to Plant things in will go. Farmland will still need Water to be hydrated (I recommend the Water Block from XyCraft). You can still use Fertilizers or Growth Accelerators near Crops or on Farmland to speed up their Growth!

The Watering Trough is another Block that will help with Animals. Instead of taking Animal Food though, it will take Water Buckets! When Baby Animals are near the Watering Trough, they will Grow faster than Babies who aren't. Don't forget to keep Filling it with Water though!

The Feeding Trough is a Block added by Productive Farming. It has 9 Inventory Slots each that can hold a Stack of Animal Feed that needs to be Piped in. What sort of Animal Feed? Anything that is used to Breed 2 Animals (of the same species) will do! Wheat? Yeah! Bamboo? Yeah! Just make sure Bamboo is Planted near them.

Flowers! First, how do we get these new beautiful Flowers! These Flowers are obtained the same way other Flowers are, by Bonemealing Grass. Sorry, Flower Fields won't help much in the Sky. You can see the looks of all these Flowers in their individual Quests! But the Color might change. That is because we have a new Cross Breeding method. If we have Bees with Pollen Upgrades in their Hives, they will Cross Breed the types and Colors of Flowers where they Pollinate. The new Flowers will Spawn on Grass near the old Flowers, they will be either the same type of the previous Flowers with one of their Colors or a combination of the two Colors. That means you can get Blue Poppys, Maroon Cattails, or even White Tulips! Oh wait, that's a Vanilla Flower...

In order to get these Crops we will need to Buy their Seeds or Crops from Farmer Villagers. Don't ask how they got them... Farmers will Trade you Emeralds for the Seeds or Crops, up until Level 5 which does not have new Seeds or Crops. Isn't it entirely random which Seed or Crop the Farmer will sell? Yep! So good luck switching Composters! This is a great time for Village Artifacts to Port.

A mix of Red and Yellow Bell Peppers! That should be kinda obvious... it is Orange...

Blue Jade Corn is made with Yellow Dent Corn and Cornflowers. So that is why they're called Cornflowers!

Asks for: Blue Jade Corn

A combination of Blue Jade Corn and Yellow Dent Corn is Black Aztec Corn.

Cherry Tomatoes have a chance to randomly mutate into Chocolate Pear Tomatoes. I don't know where the Chocolate or Pears came from but okay!

Asks for: Chocolate Pear Tomato

Cherry Tomatoes and their second evolution (didn't I use this joke already?) the Chocolate Pear Tomato can combine into a Yellow Pear Tomato. Where did the Yellow come from? Or the Pear again?

Asks for: Yellow Pear Tomato

A mix of Chocolate and Yellow Pear Tomatoes will give us Sungold Tomatoes.

Asks for: Sungold Tomato

A combination of Orange Bell Peppers and Green Bell Peppers.

Asks for: Black Bell Pepper

A combination of Red and Black Bell Peppers.

These are a mix of Raspberries... and Sungold Tomatoes? But one is a Berry and one is a Tomato? That makes no sense at all!

Asks for: Golden Raspberry

A mix of Goji Berry and Golden Raspberries will give us Miracle Berries. Miracle Berries have the amazing technique of changing your taste buds so they can't taste sour. So everything that should be sour, just tastes sweet! Go ahead and try it!

Asks for: Miracle Berry

Beefsteaks can come from a random Mutation with Roma Tomatoes.

Asks for: Beefsteak Tomato

By combining the Roma Tomato with its second evolution the Beefsteak Tomato, we get the Blue Beauty Tomato. It does have a chance of being 2 other Tomatoes though.

Mixing Green and Red Grapes give us Concord Grapes. Also known as Purple Grapes!
