Enshrouded Farming Soil — Farm, Fertilised and Flower Soil

Soil is the hidden gate of the farming system: the Seedbed consumes it by the recipe, crops judge it by the type, and production scales with the tier.

The three soils

Late Seedbed recipes may call for region-specific soils like Shroud Infused or Basalt Farm Soil — 63 recipes in the 1.0 files, so read each seedling card before mass-crafting.

Sourcing the ingredients

• Springlands Dirt — dig the ground in the starting region; bring a spare inventory row
• Bonemeal — grind Bones at the Grinding Stones (Alchemist line)
• Nitrate — the Laboratory converts 5 Shroud Sand, 1 Wood Acid, 1 Salt and 5 Any Sand into 5; this is the real gate of the fertilised tier
• Fossilized Bone Dust — ground from fossilized bones found in mid-tier regions
• Honey — the beehive chain, one more reason to build it early

Mass-production plan

Fertilised soil compounds: ten pieces need ten pieces of Farm Soil, which need seven dirt and three bonemeal each. A serious farm run means a digging trip, a bone-grinding session, and a Laboratory batch queued ahead of planting day. Queue soil crafts before you queue seedling crafts — nothing at the Seedbed proceeds without the right soil in hand.

Which soil should you stock?

• Early game: Farm Soil only, in stacks of 50
• Mid game: add Fertilised for Wheat and Sugar Cane speed, plus whatever demanding crops you have unlocked
• Late game: whatever the specific Seedbed recipe asks — the Almanac of Plants and Seedlings at the Farmer tracks every crop’s preference
