A few hours ago, Marvelous specified new details of the culture in Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, video game by Edelweiss, who added other mechanics to the formula such as platforming and 2D action. Also, they published multiple videos for illustration.
Plantation
The first steps to start with the rice plantation are extensive, consequently, the editor revealed each of them, from tilling the fields and classifying seeds to collaborating with animals, because to Edelweiss each element has a why.
- Plow the rice field: The process of removing rocks and plowing the rice field with your hoe to prepare an environment where the rice can grow easily. The better you tilled, the better propagation and growth for the plant roots.
- Rice seed classification: Mix the mud and salt in the bucket where the seed rice sinks so that it floats, while removing the surpluses of lower weight and quality. But be very careful, as this reduces your performance.
- Seedling rearing: Raise the sorted rice seed in a seedling box and turn them into seedlings. There is a dense planting in which many seedlings grow, but of lower quality, and a sparse planting where fewer seedlings grow, but of higher quality.
- Commissioned work: You can entrust some agricultural tasks, such as plowing the field and planting the rice, to your game partners. However, as the quality of the work is reduced, so does the final product.
- Auxiliary animals: Animals can help with farm work. Ducks can eat harmful insects in the rice field to protect plants from disease, and cows can help plow the field.

Care
After the initial procedures, players should monitor the planting using irrigation, fertilization, and weeding techniques. However, the developers put in place an upgrade system for cultivation techniques, as well as meetings to teach the secrets that this entails.
- To water: Uses waterways to control the amount and temperature of water in the rice field. The better the water management according to the growth rate of rice plants and the climate of the day, the better growth.
- Fertilize: The process of spreading fermented compost (compost) by mixing various materials in a fertilizer tank to nurture the rice field. By sowing compost, you can counteract the outbreak of disease and harmful insects.
- Remove weeds: Weeds grow over time, so you must remove them frequently to maintain your rice plants.
- Increase farming skills: Through repeated agricultural work, Sakuna’s agricultural skills improve. This allows for more efficient rice cultivation, as well as growing many seedlings at once or a faster harvest.
- Meetings on rice cultivation: Besides checking the status of the rice field, you can also pray to change the weather. For this reason, by meeting the predetermined conditions, you can receive a “Book of agriculture” It contains the secrets of growing rice.
