The verified production loop
- Plant food sources. A developer reply identifies planting as the way to automate food replacement.
- Build toward the Farm. An official update says it permanently replaces consumable Soil and produces fruit.
- Assign Decklings to plant and cook. Work stats provide a bonus to these tasks.
- Connect the jobs into production lines as new resources and recipes become available.
Why the Farm matters
Soil is consumed when used for planting. The Farm was introduced as a permanent alternative, making it the clearest publicly documented step from manual survival toward renewable food.
What still needs gameplay verification
- The exact Farm recipe and unlock point in the full release.
- Which food chain is most efficient.
- How many Decklings one Farm can sustainably feed.
- The best work-stat assignments for planting and cooking.
This is a mechanics guide, not an optimized build order. Exact ratios should wait for current full-game measurements.

Does the Farm consume Soil?
The update describes the Farm as a permanent alternative to Soil. Exact full-release recipe details still need verification.
