🌾 Crop Warden

Crop Warden adds a placeable farmer NPC that automatically handles the repetitive work around your crop plots.

Place it near your farm, give it some Calien Soup, activate it, and let it take care of your crops.

🌱 Features

Automatically collects berries and vegetables from nearby crop plots.
Waits until produce stacks reach at least 90% of the crop plot’s capacity before harvesting.
Allows you to enable or disable the harvesting of berries and vegetables independently.
Includes a dedicated “Harvest Resources” menu accessible from the action wheel.
Transfers harvested produce to nearby refrigerators and preserving bins.
Collects fertilizer from nearby compost bins and storage containers.
Automatically distributes fertilizer between nearby crop plots.
Consumes 1 Calien Soup per real-time hour while active.
Includes an inventory, activation controls, status information, and a visible working range.
Unlocks at level 25.
Works in single-player and on dedicated servers.

All resource categories are enabled by default and can be changed at any time from the Crop Warden’s action wheel.

🛠️ How to Use

Place the Crop Warden near your crop plots.
Place refrigerators or preserving bins within its working range.
Add Calien Soup to its inventory.
Activate the Crop Warden.
Open the “Harvest Resources” menu to choose which resource categories it should collect.
Check its status to see what it is currently doing.

The visible range indicator can help you position your crop plots and storage structures correctly.

🔗 Mod Compatibility

Crop Warden is designed to work with vanilla crop plots and many stacking or storage mods.

Compatibility has been improved for modified stack sizes, custom crop plots, and storage structures. However, some mods may use completely custom systems, so compatibility with every possible mod cannot be guaranteed.

Please leave a comment if you encounter a compatibility problem and include the name of the other mod you are using.

⚖️ Balanced Automation

Crop Warden reduces repetitive farming tasks without making crop production completely free.

You will still need to:

Produce fertilizer.
Supply Calien Soup.
Maintain your crop plots.
Provide enough nearby storage space.
