setting up a farm
« on: March 04, 2008, 06:09:00 am »
Ok, started playing last night.
Information overload.
The night lasted longer than I intented.
Thus I must have enjoyed it.

I created a hole. Carved out a hall.
I created a field 3x3 in a wet area on the first floor.
Now I want to seed it. I select q.
Then in the menu on the right it offers 4 types of crop.
But I'm only able to select the top one.

What are the keys to move the cursor down? Probably a terrible easy question to answer.

The keys you're looking for are - and +, they work as up and down, respectively.  This configuration is used on a great many menus within the game.

Also / and * allow you to page quickly through lists that are scrolled with - and +

Also, some crops must be planted early in the season.  So if it is too late for them, you will have to wait until next year.
