 Create dirt mounts, apply seeds vai examining mound, apply fertilizer same way if desired, wait, harvest the same way.

 Using vehicles means having ones with plows, seed drills, reapers, etc, all of which mean turning them on when needed and driving over the same tiles when required. Dont drive over them with the wheels. Having a vehicle scoop also helps.

Basically, apply a hoe or construct tilled ground from the *-menu(with a tool with digging 1). A hoe is instant(okay, one turn, I think), construction takes 20(30?) minutes.

Then {E}xamine the tilled ground with seeds in your inventory when the temperature is warm enough. Examine again with some form of fertilizer if you want, but from what I understand it doesn't help much.

After a few days/weeks in-game(varies with season length option iirc), it will be harvestable by examining it.

There are vehicle parts that do speed up plowing, sowing, and harvesting by doing these when the vehicle passes over a tile, but they seem fairly rare.

Unless it was changed from the last time I checked, oat gives you a massive amount of food, as not only do you get a lot of oat, oat can be milled for a lot of oatmeal per oat.

I know the mechanics of farming, I was wondering if there were any specific quirks to note about it.

The only one I can think of is that, as far as I can tell, your crops will only update from mature to harvestable if they leave the reality bubble. It's a bit OP to be quite honest, I was able to feed myself with the fast metabolism trait for an entire year on the default 14 days/season with only 50 barley plants, and I still had enough to make the 1,428 units of vodka wort that can apparently fit into a fermenting vat, and that doesn't even include what I got out of ten plants each of garlic, canola, wild herbs, onions, and cabbage. I didn't even fertilize.

 Survival skill apparently gives you more when you harvest, tho vehicle stuff does not get that bonus.

The difference between tender, caring touches on those juicy leaves or a giant rusty metal hook tearing through the innards of your innocent little tomatoes.

Stop plant murder, people! Tomatoes are friends, not food!

Someone has the salad mutation threshold, I bet. D:

The screen of my laptop broke the day before the Android port for Cata came out, needless to say I still haven't gotten it fixed because it ālmost easier playing it on the phone!!!! Currently nearing the end of my first year in game with a nice deathmobile and plenty of cybernetic goodies. Never made it past the first couple months paying on the laptop..

I seem to somehow have made the camera go off center and now it's aiming to the north of my character. I can't play like this. Anyone have any idea how to fix it? I was using one of the more recent versions.

Reload, change the window size, zoom-in/out?

 Check in the keybind menu for the keys for "shift view". Or are you driving a vehicle?

-edit-

 For reference, keybind menu is under "Esc", "Keybinds", because someone moved it.

That's pretty much always what happens to me. A mistype here or there and suddenly I'm aiming one square right and my brain has a meltdown.

[Micro102]

Yep, those sneaky hotkeys were the problem. Thanks!

[Aseaheru]

 No problem man.

I'm looking at survivor runner packs and survivor backpacks. Not only does the backpack require more skill to make, it also give a worse encumbrance-to-volume ratio. Am I missing something or is just wearing multiple survivor runner packs the best idea?

EDIT: And while I have the latest question, I'll add another. If I have a hunting knife sheathed and try to butcher something with say, a sword in my hand. Will it prioritize the hunting knife for butchering or do I have to remove it from the sheath?
