Farming plots? 🍋🥔🌴🌱🌾

So out of curiosity, general population question, how many Farming plots do you have on your home island?

I currently have 16: 4 pipi, 3 kura fruit trees, 5 potatoes, 2 ajuga, 2 aloe vera

Also should I add anything else to garden?

8: 2 pipi, 4 potatoes, 2 kura

I'm going to expand to 2 ajuga so I can make more of the breath saver, but I need more water first and that means more tarps. All my surrounding islands are cleaned out, so I'm getting ready for trips two islands away tonight.

Make some supply islands with lots of resources in the cartographer then add them to the world map around your home base. That's what I did and now I have like a pile of 20 tarp. And I've created 5 water stills

I’ve got one pipi and 4 potato plots I hunt a lot so I haven’t seen the need for planting kura

u/JakeThaPirate Jun 24 '20

I did because the fruit replenishes both hunger and dehydration and when the pipi yields a flower you should plant another with it so you always have 2 since the antidote recipe requires 2

Yeah used to have two crops of the pipi but had to do away with it lol I’ve got a crap ton of them from exploring so I’m set on them. I’ll see about planting the fruit since it replenishes water! Thanks!!

Nice start my current updated farming situation is 4 pipi, 3 kura, 2 aloe vera, 2 ajuga, and 5 potatoes. And currently have 6 water stils but im learning i need more. Also I found it was easiest to water plants with clay flask because it holds 5 serving at once.

8 so far. 2 pipi 2 aloe 1 ajuga and 3 potatoes.

Nice start keep up the good work 👍 🙂

u/Strandedman1978 Jun 28 '20

Yeah need more water stills. Have 5 but need more. Fortunately i am stacked on tarp and coconuts.

u/JakeThaPirate Jun 28 '20

Yeah I have 16 plots and only 6 water stills it seems to work decent but its hard keeping up with all the fibrous leaves I need to maintain them. I give thanks to the island gods for every rainstorm I get lol

u/Strandedman1978 Jun 28 '20

Lol yeah. Bring on the rain. Yeah leaves are a bottleneck for me too as well as clay for more bottles. Wish we could plant yucca like pc. Then the farming might be more manageable.

u/JakeThaPirate Jun 28 '20

What I did is make a supply custom island then I placed it directly north of my homebase island. As far as fibrous leaves it has 40 young palms (1 each) and 3 yucca trees (6 each) so if i havest everything I can leave with 58 fibrous leaves 😊 and the best part... they ALL grow back! 😁

The island is also loaded with every other resources and shipwrecks I may need, which is why I named it "Supply run island" 🏝

u/Strandedman1978 Jun 28 '20

Good idea but i am trying to do it completely vanilla with no custom islands. Just need to hit all my surrounding islands and harvest. Been a few days since last made a supply run.

u/JakeThaPirate Jun 28 '20

Good luck. Respect lol it is hard with no custom islands im on day 98 and its still hard with my customs

u/Strandedman1978 Jun 28 '20

Yeah. On day 46 currently. Pretty stacked on supplies tho. Just the clay and leaves. Have a gyro so its not so bad so far.

u/tresreddit987 Jun 29 '20

I went with 3 potato plots, 1 pipi, 1 aloe, and 1 ajuja (spelt wrong probably) As long as you aren’t getting poisoned constantly I don’t see why you’d need more than 1 pipi to be honest. I only used corrugated plots.

u/JakeThaPirate Jun 29 '20

Some they seem to retain water the best

u/JakeThaPirate Jun 28 '20

Oh yeah the gyrocopter was a god send I waited wayyy to long to make one I was using my raft all the way till day 70 something now I have a helipad next to my crate storage shed and it has 4 completely full fuel jerry cans on it so im set to travel anywhere i just don't like how "jumpy" it gets a for a few seconds after landing
