What is starbound farming?

Starbound farming is a feature in the game Starbound which allows players to grow various crops and raise different animals for food and resources. To start farming in the game, players must first craft a hoe and till the soil to create a farm plot. They can then use seeds, either found or purchased from NPCs, to plant crops such as wheat, rice, corn, and potatoes. Farming is not just limited to crops, as players can also raise animals like cows, chickens and pigs on their farm. These animals can be fed, housed and eventually harvested for meat, milk, and eggs. Players can also create and use irrigation systems to water their crops and speed up their growth, and can use fertilizers to improve their yields. Farming is an essential part of gameplay as it provides a sustainable source of food and resources for the player and their crew.
