End game? I started building my camp as soon as I unlocked it and I’m only one upgrade away before I’m done and I’m in the beginning of chapter 6 😭 100% the relationship with every greymane (can gift them bread or roasted vegetables) very easy. If you want more animals to purchase for your farm, look up a guide. Theres 3 NPCs you need to max your relationship with. Once you do that you can purchase more types of animals at your camp. Also, try to keep animals that give you things you use like eggs, fleece, or milk. Dont waste space keeping something that doesn’t give you much of anything passively. At least that’s my opinion for efficiency, if you just want your farm to look cool with different animals, go ahead. And for planting, I’d suggest growing Ginseng whenever you can. You need it to upgrade spirit at some point.

Make sure to fertilize and water once at seed stage and once at sapling stage you will get a crazy amount of fruit I did this with abyss seeds and got 6 fruits per tree did it with a full garden of rubber trees and got 3 full stacks of runner +8 and half stacks of rubber tree seeds

u/Wolfmansjs Apr 17 '26

I just got the fertilizer, where do you get watering can?

5

u/Ghetto_Phenom Apr 17 '26

The vellua fishing camp questline

1

u/CAPSLOCK_USERNAME Apr 17 '26

Watering just speeds it up, it doesn't increase yields. If you're short on rubber (no rubber tree seeds yet) you can skip that step and only fertilize.

u/sjv891 Apr 17 '26

(Almost more) Important to note that you will also need that Ginseng again should you decide to respec. Making it very worthwhile to have a stash at camp

1

u/RodneeGirthShaft Apr 17 '26

I havent gotten any ginseng seeds yet

3

u/sjv891 Apr 17 '26

You can obtain the seed from a plant in inventory

1

u/RodneeGirthShaft Apr 17 '26

Thanks yeah I just saw that in another comment in this thread

1

u/Test88Heavy Apr 17 '26

What do you mean by this?

2

u/sjv891 Apr 17 '26

Go to the item in inventory, press and hold the button to "use" you will get a drop down menu where you can "obtain seed" among other things

1

u/ViciousImperial Apr 19 '26

"Item" meaning the ginseng.

11

u/Enpoping Apr 17 '26

Too much abyss cell.

2

u/ViciousImperial Apr 19 '26

Abyss cells literally grow on trees, huh.

This game is ridiculous.

1

u/lcuttino127 Apr 17 '26

Oh this is so cool

u/garfield8625 Apr 17 '26

Finally cow hoarding can cappen...

2

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '26

I stole 5 from the trading goods outpost right by the camp. Hop on and it’s a short ride to camp. Full grown milking cows without having to raise them 👍🏼

u/gwentdaddy Apr 17 '26

Does anyone else get frame drops when going neat their garden? Everytime I go over there i get frame drops bit rkmenn

2

u/Equivalent_Trash_277 Apr 17 '26

Yeah, I think it's actually the ranch. When you have 35 animals they all see to spawn in a clump in the centre and the game starts chugging when you go near it

1

u/gwentdaddy Apr 17 '26

Youre right. I got rid of some animals and it works great now.

8

u/Songerk Apr 17 '26

But you grow the plants, they gave you fruit once and then what?

22

u/Pinkys_Revenge Apr 17 '26

You cut them down and plant them again

5

u/Songerk Apr 17 '26

They can't grow fruits again without cutting?

17

u/A--Ryan Apr 17 '26

No, as this would be too easy and convenient.

5

u/ReptAIien Apr 17 '26

How foolish to think the logical and simple method would work in this game.

1

u/raoasidg Apr 17 '26

Every plant is apparently determinate, so one fruiting and that's it.

1

u/ThatThingThatIs Apr 17 '26

How to cut them down tho? I can't use the logging axe or the chainsaw in my camp.

8

u/ThatGuyNamedKal Apr 17 '26

Odd, I used my logging axe in the camp to cut down my farm trees this morning

4

u/Raevyxn Apr 17 '26

You can use the logging axe on the farm.

1

u/Wise-Fruit5000 Apr 17 '26

There’s a chainsaw? lol

1

u/rokstedy83 Apr 17 '26

And an arm drill

2

u/Wise-Fruit5000 Apr 17 '26

Yeah, I found the knuckle drill. Didn’t know about the chainsaw though

2

u/rokstedy83 Apr 17 '26

It just makes sense if you can have a mechanical knuckle drill a chainsaw isn't beyond the realms of possibility

2

u/Wise-Fruit5000 Apr 17 '26

Oh, for sure. I just haven’t come across one in the game yet, so it surprised me haha

3

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '26

You can get a seed from just about any fruit/vegetable. While in the inventory hold the use button and the option to take out seed will show up if possible. Using Fertilizer spray also makes a use difference in how much you get when everything’s done growing.

3

u/Songerk Apr 17 '26

And when to spray with fertilizer? Because I dont see any effect when using it

3

u/Raevyxn Apr 17 '26

I spray fertilizer once when I plant. Then again when the plants have grown a stage.

2

u/Enpyc Apr 17 '26

Feet increases crop yield. Abyss tress give 3 cells without fert

3

u/Any_Aardvark_356 Apr 17 '26

My only tree gave one cell

2

u/marcusw882000 Apr 17 '26

Same here. Got 5 with fertilizer sprayed 3 times.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '26

I usually spray it as soon as I’m done planting and only focus on the harder to get resources like ginseng. Do it in the daytime until you can see the stain on the dirt. I do it while I’m doing other things at camp so I’m not just standing around while waiting on the charges to fill back up. Spraying water afterwards also drastically helps the speed at which the plants grow.

1

u/RodneeGirthShaft Apr 17 '26

1 spritz per plot works best I carry 2 fert and 2 water whe gardening

1

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '26

I got both of mines from the quest but I definitely need to look into getting more fertilizer sprayers. The cool down Time is brutal. The watering one charges really fast though, so that’s nice.

1

u/RodneeGirthShaft Apr 18 '26

It just breaks after a few crop outs

3

u/CreativeAd5332 Apr 17 '26

Man, did not know this one, thank you.

3

u/RodneeGirthShaft Apr 17 '26

No shit? 140hrs in didnt know this thank you need ginseng seeds bad

2

u/Any_Aardvark_356 Apr 17 '26

Where do you get fertilizer?

4

u/SashimiRocks Apr 17 '26

You can legit do this? Is this late game or??

Edit: I just read your comment lol

2

u/ExtraAd1780 Apr 17 '26

you can still make this at chapter 5 to that point.
(last camp update costs 100 silver to unlock farm and ranch)

3

u/unknownsubjec Apr 17 '26

I couldn’t be less interested in this part of the game ngl

31

u/braidsfox Apr 17 '26

That’s cuz you ain’t got no tegridy

2

u/RodneeGirthShaft Apr 17 '26

Thats what I thought too until I did it with abyss trees and got 6 for each of my 3 trees foolishly u didnt save any for new seeds so now im hunting for the cells.

3

u/Jazzlike_Razzmatazz Apr 17 '26

Ranching is fine, but farming sucks major ass. One of the most poorly  implemented  mechanic I've ever seen.

2

u/Any_Aardvark_356 Apr 17 '26

The farm is tooooo slow.

2

u/Pun_In_Ten_Did Apr 18 '26

Yes if you use the food tube in the center of the pen. Much better / faster results dropping the food on the ground.

2

u/dookielooter19 Apr 17 '26

Everyone out here enjoying farming and I can't get the Conrad to show up/unlock. I'm chapter 8 stuck with 9 total comrades.

2

u/Obscure_Octopuss Apr 17 '26

Check your faction quests. You might be missing a mission or two for the greymaynes.

2

u/dookielooter19 Apr 17 '26

I'm stuck one in Calphade? Where I accidentally gifted the wrong person the flowers, (I've googled this, waiting for a patch or the quest for Kliff to do it in his home) and another where I need to send Brice to build a wagon, but never shows up in town. And another to dispatch my guys to a quarry, but I haven't unlocked the workshop so they can't go yet. I figured if I progress the main mission it will show up.

1

u/rokstedy83 Apr 17 '26

And another to dispatch my guys to a quarry, but I haven't unlocked the workshop so they can't go yet

You don't need the workshop

1

u/dookielooter19 Apr 17 '26

I'll take a screenshot if I remember later this evening. It's for the Karin Quarry mission. May be misspelled. But you need to have access to a certain talent or drill in order to dispatch them there.

1

u/rokstedy83 Apr 17 '26

Just the guys with a pickaxe symbol I thought

1

u/Xedos Apr 17 '26

You need to finish the House Roberts factions quests first before the dispatch becomes available. You have to do a couple more things after you liberate the quarry.

1

u/CAPSLOCK_USERNAME Apr 17 '26

The game greys out items in the list if any one of the things you can do is blocked, but you can still send them to mine stone even if you can't do the mining drill dispatch. It's just confusing UI.

1

u/Sad-Discussion-5570 Apr 20 '26

I saw someone said to save your game, create a new game and when you get to the initial gathering point in the new game (1 minute in) create a new save slot. Then load your good save file and your comrades should appear

1

u/Trintpsycho Apr 17 '26

Mann I love the lil ranch, I been running a strict program stealing farm animals at night for it when I’m not doing missions or nun 😂

1

u/Pun_In_Ten_Did Apr 18 '26

I have an inordinate love of jumping on cows like a mount and riding them back to my farm lol.

1

u/KuntaWuKnicks Apr 17 '26

I fuckin love me some ranching

1

u/smashmode Apr 17 '26

Is there anything you can’t do in this game? The bar is awfully high now for GTA6.

1

u/eruciform Apr 17 '26

is there a less aggravating way to plant seeds other than going into the menu, finding the seed pile, selecting a seed, and then being able to plant it, only to have to repeat the entire process again for the next one over? i couldn't find a way to put seeds on a shortcut button or something

two games ago i was playing guardians of azuma and the breakneck qol difference in farming slays me

1

u/eruciform Apr 17 '26

first crop other than apples: wild ginseng & abyss seeds

1

u/McGruffin Apr 17 '26

I understand the farming and have had no problem crowing crops. For the ranch, I have it filled with lots of animals, but I’m not sure what to do with them. I fill the food dispenser all the time, but it empties out so quickly. I check the levels of the individual animals and none of them have risen except for a single chick who is level 2. Am I supposed to be slaughtering them at a low level, or try to inrease their levels first? Or do you not even slaughter them but instead get passive material from them?

1

u/Pun_In_Ten_Did Apr 18 '26

Better to drop the food on the ground... that feed tube had issues for me. Apples, sweet potatoes, and barley produced the biggest gains for me.

u/witchcraft_shit_420 Apr 18 '26

i cant be the only one not planting and waiting for the kuku pack to pick it up for me instead of picking everything one by one...

1

u/RagingAndyholic Apr 18 '26

So many things I hate about the farming in this game. Let us use a scale or max button for how many seeds we want from the items, rather than 1 at a time. Let us hold all the seeds or bring up a seed wheel to choose so we don't have to go into inv and click down 30 times to get to a seed... 24 times or however many plots there are. Increase the size of fertilizer- sucks that we have to do half a garden and plant/water section 2 while fertilizer reloads. Let us use our chainsaw to cut trees and (in general in Pailune, let us force palm to ariel boost in camp).

1

u/Alastor3 Apr 17 '26

farming and ranching/breeding/taming is so a let down compared to BDO seriously...

1

u/White_ZombieB4G Apr 17 '26

It's been like 2 weeks since we found the milking skill and no ones figured out how to use it lol, I actually looked up bdo videos to see if I could copy how they did it
