During exploring, [[Combat|fighting aliens]] and gathering materials, you might get hungry or even injured. That's why it's always a good idea to keep some food and medics on you. One of the best ways in doing so is with farming. Crops can be planted and harvested for a variety of goods for crafting food that satisfies your hunger and fills stamina or medics which can cure diseases and regenerate your health.

Farming is a very good way to build a self-sufficient base in terms of food. Some types of foods and Ingredients can only be obtained by farming. In Empyrion : Galactic survival farming is done by planting [[:Category:Sprout |sprouts]] in a [[Growing Plot]] and placing a [[Plant Grow Light]] above them. Sprouts can be made in [[Food Processor]]. Farming gives a good amount of xp (100xp for planting, 200xp for harvesting at difficulty level 2) which helps to level up faster in early stages in the game.

During exploring, fighting aliens and gathering materials, you might get hungry or even injured. That's why it's always a good idea to keep some food and medics on you. One of the best ways in doing so is with farming. Crops can be planted and harvested for a variety of goods for crafting food that satisfies your hunger and fills stamina or medics which can cure diseases and regenerate your health.

Not every ingredient for high-tier medicals and food can be acquired through farming, most notably Purified Water and Eggs.

Unlike gathering plant products, farming does not yield experience points.

Prerequisites

To set up a farm you will need

Growing Crops

Farm example alpha 6

Farming requires an oxygenated radiation-free space

Any plant must be placed on a Growing Plot, with a Plant Grow Light in a 3 by 3 area above, centred on the block above the plant and the block it's in needs to oxygenated or else it will stop growing, but continue as soon as all of them are provided again. If the plant is radiated it will die. On planets with a breathable atmosphere, no oxygen must be provided with a Ventilator. Note that plants don't need to be watered and there is no way to do so anyway.

Products

Currently, there are 18 Sprouts that produce a total of 11 different products. 

Vegetables, Fruits, Grain and Natural Stimulant can be produced by multiple plants with different average yields per hour. The most efficient crops of these types are marked bold
