Fields of Mistria Farm Layout Guide

✦Choose a clear rectangle before building

These are local modules. Find a clear rectangle of the stated size on your own farm; connect its bottom path to an existing route. Keep the fixed farmhouse, Caldarus shrine, water and exits outside it. Axes and pickaxes clear debris; a shovel changes grass to farmable dirt, and a hoe prepares the planting cells. Paths below mean reserved empty ground, so paving materials are optional. Seed budgets use Spring crops bought at the General Store.

Amounts cover this module only, excluding tools, animal purchases and feed. Any rectangle must fit the clear, reachable land in your save. After placement, walk every entrance and ring animals back inside before leaving the farm.

▦10 × 6: a short watering loop

Mark two 4 × 4 planting beds, separated by a two-cell vertical aisle. Leave a two-cell horizontal aisle below both beds; do not put a chest or machine in that entrance.

Hoe the 32 crop cells and plant one Turnip Seed in each. Buy 32 seeds at 25t each: 800t total, with no building blueprint or paving cost. Water for four days; plant by Spring 24 for a normal Spring 28 harvest. Your watering can need not be upgraded.

Walk the bottom aisle, then the central aisle, before planting. Water each bed from its edge or step onto the tilled bed when needed. After harvest, keep the first Turnip for the museum if missing and replant only when enough season days remain.

▦30 × 18: crops and livestock

Use the northwest 14 × 10 rectangle for a Small Barn and the 12 × 10 rectangle two cells to its east for a Small Coop. Buy the blueprints from the Carpenter: 2,000t plus 1,500t. Add 175 Wood and 125 Stone for construction. These small blueprints are available from the start; buying animals is a separate cost.

Keep the full two-cell strip immediately south of both buildings empty, including their doors. Keep the north–south aisle between the buildings open. South of the Barn, plant two 6 × 4 beds: 48 Turnip Seeds cost 1,200t. Total listed cash is 4,700t including blueprints and seeds.

Reserve the 12 × 6 area southeast for animal access. This open region is not a fenced enclosure: animals can wander and eat crops. Feed animals and harvest ready crops before ringing them outside; keep them indoors when protecting unharvested crops. Each small building holds four animals. Leave a slot free before breeding and ring animals indoors before the day ends.

Place buildings using the in-game valid-placement preview before tilling the beds. If moving an existing Barn or Coop, transfer its animals first; pregnant animals cannot be moved. The preview must leave the southern approach open. Do not place a building over a fixed landmark just to match this module.

▦12 × 10: a flower courtyard

Reserve a 12 × 10 rectangle. Put two 4 × 4 Turnip beds on the west and two 4 × 4 Tulip beds on the east. Leave four clear columns through the middle and two clear rows across the center: all four beds share a connected cross-shaped route.

Buy 32 Turnip Seeds at 25t and 32 Tulip Seeds at 20t: 1,440t total. Sow in Spring and water every day; Turnips need four days and Tulips six. Plant Tulips by Spring 22 for a normal Spring 28 harvest. These flowers are living crops, not permanent furniture.

Let the east beds provide color while harvesting the west beds for food, gifts or sales. After a Tulip is harvested, replace it with a season-appropriate flower seed. Keep the central crossing empty; if adding furniture later, use its actual placement preview outside the reserved routes. No fence, furniture recipe, farm expansion or upgraded building is required for this version.
