I'm a middle aged passive console player. Don't get passive wrong. I'm always cooking sulfur and stockpiling gp somewhere half clever for when someone needs to be removed from my rust experience. In any case, I currently have fishing, diving and hunting on console to keep me busy. Looking forward to electricity and farming to come along.

[@localdadinyourarea2039]

Lmao yeah that ain't happening..so was I bruh but I opted to not buy into the cash grab bs that is Rust console anymore and just bought a PC..GeForce serves as a great stand in way to play Rust efficiently until u can build/buy a PC that can run it smoothly! Us middle aged gamers developed the golden era of gaming that u see being poorly imitated nowadays on YT...no way in hell should we be stuck dealing with the shitty kids from Rust console community! GL out there fam the true version of the game is a whole different entity entirely I'm glad I trashed console Rust

I've always found this so difficult to understand and overwhelming to the point I barely touch the water system at all, but this broke it down so amazingly! I think next month I'll join a pve server to get a bit of experience with it and build a farm base! This is such a big part of the game I've basically ignored! Thank you!

[@JfarrYT]

It's great to hear this video could help you out in some way for understanding the farming system. All the best for your next months farm base 👍

[@Cometism]

As I find myself wanting to try different aspects of rust that I havent tried before, I realize you are amazing. You give everything we need to do so. Really appreciate it

[@CharlesEastonIV]

One item for advanced farming that wasn't fully covered is using heaters to increase the temperature at night (or constantly in the snow biome.) You can use an electric branch and branch off between your solar panel and battery to use the solar panel as a daylight sensor. Send the branched signal into a blocker's side port, and run power to the heaters through the blocker. It will only turn on when it's cold at night because the sun is not providing power to the solar panel, allowing power to pass through the blocker to the heaters.

[@andrewmccarty]

This is very clever

[@D3STRUCT3RSMURF]

he covered that trick in the electricity guide he put out

[@EokaBeamer69]

Finally a guide that mentions low tech farming. Just havint a planter box, ceilling lights and a water catcher is SUPRISINGLY effective. All the other guides make it seem like you need to build a tier 3 farm or not bother at all. I discovered farming this month and I don't even bother with crossgreeding. I just plant seeds and keep the ones with good genes, water the plants from my water catchers and watch them grow like you show here. This wipe I got a YYGGWH hemp seed and it yields 300 cloth from just one planter box which is crazy. Thank you for your many helpful Rust videos. You are a true staple of this community. I believe I have watched your Trainyard guide at least 7 times, trying to learn the loot run and it now is my favorite monument. Did you know that there is an angle where you can kill the recycler scientists without them shooting back? Just get on the crane that is closest to the recycler building and get on the part of that crane which is the furthest away from the building. If you now shoot underneath the building it is easy to snipe the scientists.

[@JfarrYT]

Thank you so much for the support and it's always awesome to hear how my videos have helped people out, such as the trainyard guide. Especially with this guide I understand that some people don't want to go out and make some mega chad farming system, so I tried to split things up into tiers to have something for all players. Also I didn't know about the angle to shoot scientists so thank you for letting us know :)

[@camedelic1365]

I just set up my first farm while learning electrical. It's 4 solar panels connected to root combiners, into an electrical branch, into a medium and small battery, into an OR switch, into 3 electrical branches for the water pump, lights, and sprinklers. Having 4 solar panels and backup small battery is overkill, but I am proud of my setup! Farming 4 large planters for berries.. 😎

[@b.t4604]

the OR switch so if the battery dies? I think you could combine them instead

[@camedelic1365]

@@b.t4604 Sounds right to me. I still haven't played with electrical much. The idea was that the backup would only be accessed if the main was drained, I could see how a combiner would simplify that.

6:40 I got to test things out but last time you needed an outrageous number of water catchers for just one planter; like you get 3ml per catcher and plants need about ~5ml, you'd need 5*9=45/3=15 water catchers per planter :|

[@cjoin83]

Build some water barrels and the water catchers will fill them up when you're not playing. Log in to 3-4 full water barrels that have been filling up over night and you will have enough to do your farming.

So I'm really new to rust, but with as many hours in games like dayz and fallout, I understand alot of it pretty well and rather quick. Being new it has frustrated me so many times already and I've almost given it up, lol, until seeing your video and realizing just how much more the game has to offer. I had no idea the game dealt with things like plant genetics. That alone makes me question just how much more I'm missing out on as well as wondering just how good this game is. I just bought it 4 ps4 costing still 50 bucks. Multiple rough starts had me really close to refunding it. But now I'm seriously interested in learning all I can about it. Thank you for the great content. As well as for reigniting my interest in this game.

Hi Jfarr! Thanks for making the video, thought it was very comprehensive and easy to follow! Subscribed! I'm currently setting up a farm and I'm finding my water condition is sticking on 75% even though the water in my planters is 9000/9000. I've been playing around and it appears that I am over watering the planters which is having a negative effect. Turning off my sprinklers actually increases the water condition. I'm guessing here so if anyone can fill in the blank, but it feels like there is a sweet spot with watering rather than just having the sprinkler going all the time. Just for context, to start with I had 4 planter boxes, with 4 sprinklers (1 per planter) and water condition stuck to 75%. I've changed this to one sprinkler shared between the 4 planter boxes but didn't notice much of a difference (planter saturation was still 8000-9000). Turning off the sprinkler completey and letting the planter saturation fall lower seems to be improving the water condition, it's increasing and currently on 95%. I guess, is the solution to have sprinklers on a timer? Does anyone know the planter saturation sweet spot?

[@JfarrYT]

Cheers Lowell and very interesting find. I wasn't sure if this was a thing when making the video but seems like it might be. I guess having your sprinklers on a timer or just manually flicking a switch is the best approach to not overwater them. However, it would be interesting to know the sweet spot level and how much overwatering actually effects the yield. I will likely cover this in a future farming related video when I have time to test it out.

[@KnoxGTX]

Between 5000-7500 depending on the plants water requirements. 6500 is a good starting point

How often do you need the water to run, do you need to have the water one 100% and also do you need to have lights on at all times?

[@johnnyrocket1685]

You need lights at all times if it’s indoors, and water im pretty sure can get to about 50% before issues start to arise, so you don’t need to always keep it at 100% all the time.

Hemp in real life has it's growing cycle if light and other conditions are met, with lighting having to be 18-24 hours. Once the light level drops to 12 a day it will stop growing and then begin producing it's flowers.

[@alphamoonman]

What does the overall condition do for the plant? What are the benefits of pampering my plants to the fullest?

[@summoner1451]

I notice that the temp goes down on plants in the morning and at night in the forest. Would leaving heaters on 24/7 affect the plants at all or it doesn't matter? I know there is a set up to make them come on only at night, but would rather just leave them on 24/7 off my main power source if it doesn't affect the plants at all.

[@loganwolv3393]

Seems like you need a water pump and get your water from a river or the ocean with a water purifier if you want your plants to survive for more than a few hours because even with a water catcher it's not gonna get me enough water to sustain the plants while i'm offline.

[@xDarknessLorddx]

if my plant have 58 temperature its ok? :) whats is the limit I can have in the temperature thankyou

[@metasamsara]

Best guide, thanks!

[@wagg1sh]

Jfarr, your vidoes are very promising and useful But calculation is wrong about sprinklers and distribution to planter boxes -For maintain server performance sprinkler distribute 15 ml per5 seconds (180ml per minutes) -If you have 3 planter boxes, every planter boxes get 5 ml per 5 seconds (60ml per minutes, per larger boxes) -If you have 4 planter boxes, every planter boxes get 3 ml per 5 seconds, remaining 3 ml will be wasted. (36 ml per minutes, per larger boxes) So best way is using 1 sprinklers for 3 planter boxes -Btw still there is huge bug about sprinklers. Sprinkler uses 10 ml per 5 seconds (120 ml per min), and sprinlers distribute 15 ml per 5 seconds (180 ml per min)

[@JfarrYT]

Damn, I was unaware of the bug. I tested to see how much water the sprinklers used from within a water barrel every minute and found it was 120ml. Didn't realise the game currently just creates new water to distribute out of thin air. Thank you for informing me and others of this.

Did you make a Tier 4 farm vod Jfarr?

[@spiderunknown7438]

I am still a bit confused on how to crossbreed, in a 3 by 3 pattern how would I crossbreed out an x?

[@JfarrYT]

If you are wanting to perform a large crossbreed with 4 or more crops, I would recommend searching "Rust genetics calculator". There are multiple calculator sites in which you input your current plant genetics and it will determine the outcome for your primary seed. However, here is a more simple example. Remember, to remove a single red trait you will need two other plants touching it with the same good trait in that exact slot the bad trait is within. If you want to remove the X trait in the last genetic slot from a crop in the centre of the planter, you will need to place two other crops down. The two other crops will need to both have a G, Y or H (The same trait) within the last genetic slot. At 12:04 I demonstrate crossbreeding with three crops. The base sapling and crossbreed saplings. As you can see, the two Y traits within the image replace the X trait and two G traits replace the W trait. If you are still confused I would recommend hopping within the game and performing some trial and error yourself. Plant 3 crops down and say to yourself "What outcome would I expect from this" and see if your prediction is correct using an online genetics calculator. Just the main rule to remember is, to replace a bad trait you will need to surround it with two of the same good traits.

[@spiderunknown7438]

@@JfarrYT thank you

[@spiderunknown7438]

Another question for anyone out there that can answer my question what is the best traits that a plant can have or does it vary for each crop.

[@JfarrYT]

@@spiderunknown7438 Best combination I would recommend is YYYGGG. I believe this combination has the best for yield output per hour. However, you could also use YYYYGG for more yield which provides you with 4 clones compared to 3 per plant or YYGGGG if you are time-sensitive. Essentially, unless you are living in the snow and can't craft an electric heater, the hardiness trait seems useless compared to the yield or growth trait.

You can also avoid using the pump if the water catcher is higher than the barrel, since gravity will pull the water down.
