Vanilla Agriculture Fix
A vanilla-friendly overhaul that makes Agriculture a rewarding and viable survival profession in Build 42.
Farming in Project Zomboid requires a huge investment of time, water, fertilizer, protection, and patience, yet the rewards are often disappointing. This mod improves the entire farming progression while staying faithful to the vanilla experience.
Instead of earning experience only from planting, every important farming action now contributes to your Farming skill.
- Creating furrows grants Farming XP.
- Sowing seeds grants Farming XP.
- Watering crops grants Farming XP.
- Fertilizing crops grants Farming XP.
- Harvesting crops grants Farming XP.
- Map-spawned crops can also grant harvest XP.
- Optional Sandbox setting that restricts Harvest XP to the player who originally planted the crop.
XP is naturally split across the entire farming process, rewarding players who actively maintain their crops instead of only planting or harvesting.
As your Farming skill increases, your crops become significantly more productive.
- Level 0: Normal harvest yield.
- Level 3: +20% Harvest Yield.
- Level 5: +35% Seed Yield.
- Level 7: +25% Crop Growth Speed.
- Level 10: +50% Harvest Yield and an additional +15% Crop Growth Speed.
Nearly every feature can be customized to fit your preferred gameplay style.
Increase the number of seeds returned after harvesting.
- Poor: Vanilla (x1)
- Normal: x2–x3
- Abundant: x4–x6
- Very Abundant: x7–x10
Increase the amount of food produced by every successful harvest, making Agriculture a realistic long-term food source, especially in multiplayer.
Examples:
- Potatoes: 12–18
- Tomatoes: 10
- Corn: 4–8
Increase the calorie value of harvested crops from Vanilla up to +400%, making home-grown vegetables a much more sustainable food source.
Enable a right-click option to remove dried crop vegetation (vegetation_farm_01_32 through vegetation_farm_01_39) and keep your fields clean.
- New Fertilizer recipe.
- Improved farming progression.
- Designed for both single-player and multiplayer.
