The following image pictures the available spots a crop can be placed in a underground farm: Vertical distance does not reduce light intensity, meaning that farms can be successfully built even in bedrock. This means a farm plot that is over seven horizontal blocks from a natural light source will not receive enough light for crops to grow.

Crops require 'at least a light level of 8'. The light value will also be reduced by 1 per every horizontal block travelled from light source. A block with a light opacity of 1 will reduce the amount of light blocks below it receive by 1, for example from 15 to 14.

The light levels have a range of 0 to 15, 0 being completely dark and 15 having access to full sunlight. This is defined by their light opacity property. Various types of blocks will let light through them. A chimney, for example, will provide a suitable amount of it. This means that plants need to either be outside, or have some method of receiving natural light. Plants (again with the exception of Mushrooms) require natural light to grow. These seeds (with the exception of mushrooms) have to be planted into a farm plot.

Seeds for flowers can be crafted at level 1 of Living Off The Land, berry & vegetable seeds after unlocking Level 2. Planting tree seeds requires only the appropriate seed and an open area of dirt.Ĭrop and plant seeds can be found via looting or for sale from traders. Tree seeds can be obtained by chopping down a mature tree. This process allows the player to set up a farm and sustain the production of certain foods, items, and resources. Farming is the process of planting, growing, and harvesting the various Trees and Plants found in 7 Days to Die.
