Farming Workbench



 is a powerful farming tool used mainly for producing Compost and Fertilizer but can be used to enter the Production Manager Menu also.
 * Limited to 2 per Settlement.
 * Each Farming Workbench will highering your Production Output of Compost and Fertilizer per Cycle
 * let's you open the Production Manager Menu

NOTE: There is a big difference in gaining Compost/Fertilizer and Plant Domestication! 1) In order to produce Compost and Fertilizer your Components (any fresh or waste Food item) must be stored inside your Farming Workbench (Production = Passive) 2) In order to start Plant Domestication your Components (Wild Plants, Fertilizer) must be stored inside any Workshop NOT inside the Farming Workbench! Plant Domestication will start only after you have setup a "Work Order" using the Production Manager! (Production = Active) 3) The more es you build the more Compost can be converted per Cycle

$$1\, Waste \, Item\quad=\quad Compost$$


 * use the Farming Workbench
 * place waste items in the Compost Bin and accept trade
 * works with Pre-War Food (Cram, etc.), Crops, Meat (Ground Meat, Diseased Meat, Moldy Meat, etc.), Workshop Ration, Settler Ration basically with all available Food
 * all waste Items turn into Compost and some Fertilizer on next Production Cycle
 * Compost Production is Passive and runs automatically non-stop
 * does NOT require Work Orders!
 * Compost is added to the Production Storage by default

NOTE: Compost Production per production cycle reaches its peak with 50 units per cycle. This can be achieved by building approx. 25 Farming Workbenches (max. 2 per settlement).

Fertilizer

 * Fertilizer Production is Passive and runs automatically non-stop
 * all you need is Compost
 * you do NOT require Work Orders!
 * 20 Compost produces 1 Fertilizer
