This wikiHow teaches you how to create a farm in 7 Days to Die. Farming in 7 Days to Die largely consists of gathering plants, breaking them down into seeds, tilling soil with a hoe, and then placing the seeds in the tilled soil. This allows the player to have a consistent source of food to prevent them from going hungry. The farming process has changed with the release of alpha 17.
