RobbyStark Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 the wiki page states that crops will grow if temperature is above 5 degrees. does being near a fire count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer320 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 No. You can't farm during the Winter at all. Best bet is to leave those Dragon Fruit on the farm until needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a mod I'm using tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbyStark Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 I don't think my crop rot either. in RoG it's crock pot, drying rack and traps that spoil when not harvested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the truthseeker Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Crock pots and drying racks rot, farms do not. And technically, if you quickly fertilize crops on the first day of winter before the temp drops, you can do some last minute crop finishing if it's not raining for a crop growth boost. After the temp drops and it's not raining however, you can no longer farm no matter how many fire sources there are.The atmosphere needs to be moist enough, and it's either too frozen or too dry (fire pit drying the frozen air) in concept to work.No matter what, you can't grow crops in winter until it's over, but you may harvest crops grown or keep them indefinately until harvested.

If you can't remember it, try something like: de-fi-ni-tely not Italy (neither ately) Theoretically, you can grow them on the last day of winter, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawx541 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I like don't starve but i'm always paranoid about death. When I tried to use manure on my farm crop during winter and it didn't work I thought I was screwed. But I got some tips from @Flare2V during one of his streams on killing beefalo during the winter, and a strat on how to kill them. So even though you can't really farm dude, kill some beefalo if you can find some. They're great sources of food! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stick to murdering pigs - then using their skin to make a weapon to kill more pigs.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAA They never see it coming I prefer to feed them four Monster Meat, murder their rampaging Werepig selves and get 2 meat and 1 pigskin for it. of course this is under the assumption I'm getting enough Monster Meat from the myriad of sources it comes from.

Oh, I didn't mention but I do this too. I kill spiders for the monster meat, pretty reliable source of monster meat income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Letter W Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I still think a costly greenhouse should be an option. Houses one farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindlfaith Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I found that honey is the best thing to stockpile for the winter. Depending on season length 2 stacks of honey should be plenty for daily consumption and take a LONG time to spoil. Keep in mind that bees don't produce honey in the winter. So this doesn't really answer your question (sorry). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renz004 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Beehive + Bird stocked in Bird Cage + Spider Den Nearby = all the food you'll ever need *_*Kill spiders for monster meat.Turn some of those meats into eggs by cooking them and feeding to the birdHarvest x1 honey daily.With that combination you can do stuff like 2 eggs, 1 monster meat, 1 honey in a crock pot. Toss a couple bunny traps for regular morsels for variety's sake Using a twig sometimes might work too if you used enough meat (I don't know recipes by heart).And when in doubt just go hunting for those elephant-beef-things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this doesn't really answer your question (sorry). Due to what might be a bug, when you're away, the bee box applies the now working un-loaded honey production code eventhough it's winter. I never needed that, but it's cool to know. I do not own RoG on a side note.

Phff... get on my level, I live off hounds. But you're right, that's all you need to not starve ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
