Use farming modules or the communal farm to produce materials.
farm
farm [status]
Show the status and needs of nearby or carried farming modules.
Each installed module sits in a numbered bay. To pick one of several with the
same name, use its bay or its place in line, as in tend bay 2 or
tend second cultivation bed. The crop growing in it works too, as in
tend sage.
farm buy
farm buy <module or supply>
Buy farming equipment or supplies.
farm install
farm install <module>
Install a carried module in an open bay of your rented plot.
farm uninstall
farm uninstall <module>
Remove an empty module from your rented plot.
plant
plant <crop/stock> [strain <strain-lot>] [in <module>]
Load matching starter stock into an empty module. Add a strain lot to pick a specific lineage.
Example: plant sage in tray
tend
tend [<module>]
Tend an active growing cycle.
gather
gather [<module>]
Gather a mature crop and clear its module.
gather communal
Work communal beds in the room.
farm collect
farm collect [<module>]
Collect a renewable livestock yield or mature offspring.
farm slaughter
farm slaughter <module>
Slaughter mature livestock for materials and clear its module.
farm clear
farm clear <module>
Throw out whatever is growing in a module, ready or not, so the bay is free again. You get nothing from it. The stock is lost, the bay loses some fertility, and clearing live stock costs a share of its starter's price. A dead or rotted cycle clears free. It asks first.
farm feed

Feed livestock in a farming module.
farm fertilize
farm fertilize <module> [with <supply>]
Apply fertilizer to a crop module.
farm light
farm light <module> = <level>

farm breed
farm breed <growable>:<parent> + <parent> = <name> [stable/balanced/experimental] [in <module>]
Cross two lots of one species in an empty module. Tend it through the cycle,
then farm collect it. Choose stable, balanced or experimental
for how much the cross can vary.
Example: farm breed hemp:wild stock + A-318 = Copper Line balanced in bay 2
farm adopt
farm adopt <module> [as <name>]
Take a mature land animal from a breeding module as a companion.
