	There are two main factors to consider when deciding where to plant your crops: '''Temperature''' and '''Moisture'''. Both variables must match your crop's requirements as closely as possible in order for your farm to be successful. Depending on how close the given values are to the plant's requirements, the Display of the Soil Sampler will tell you if these values are above or below the Minimum / Optimal / Maximum value for this specific plant.

	The moisture, temperature, and nutrients of a given block of land are determined by the 5x5 plot that it resides in. These 5x5 plots are identical to the plots used for determining property claims. Because of this, a [[Land Claim Stake]] is a great tool to visualize farming plots, in addition to their importance in protecting your farm.

	Soil moisture can also be lowered by creating "raised beds", elevating multiple spots on a plot with appropriate temperature by adding blocks atop the existing terrain progressively. To not alter the elevation significantly (consequently temperature), the player should add blocks a single layer deep, but over the area of the plot until soil moisture content is lowered to the desired range for crop growth. Player can expect to see somewhere around 15% decrease by raising half the area.

			=== Overcrowding ===
	This also means that every plant inside this 5x5 plot counts into the checked farming area (including [[Grass]], bushes and [[trees]]) for the simulation, which can lead to overcrowding even though the player planted only a single seed. Plants have a lower tolerance for crowding the less optimal the soil conditions; this can result in crowded crops from fewer plants than on a 100% optimal plot of land. Overcrowding will hurt survivability; if you plant 5 crops and they are "very over-crowded", 2 or 3 may die before maturing to harvest. ''(Currently, overcrowding seems random - two identical 5x5 plots may have different overcrowding status. It may prove difficult, and often fruitless to try fixing it.)''
