Enshrouded: Guide to Building a Tiered Farm with Irrigation (Update 7)
Learn how to build a stepped farm with irrigation in Enshrouded, using different materials and irrigation systems to optimize the production of crops such as rice and algae. The video also explores ideas for future agriculture updates, such as the use of domesticated animals and harvest automation.
1. 🧪 Material Testing for Water Reaction in Farm Construction
- ✅ A test is performed with well blocks, regular stone blocks, and refined wood to observe how water reacts with each material.
- ⚠️ The goal is to determine if the type of material influences the efficiency of the irrigation system.

1. 🧪 Material Testing for Water Reaction in Farm Construction
- ✅ A test is performed with well blocks, regular stone blocks, and refined wood to observe how water reacts with each material.
- ⚠️ The goal is to determine if the type of material influences the efficiency of the irrigation system.
00:57 - 02:30
2. 🧱 Construction of the Stepped Farm Base: Foundations and Fertile Soil
- ✅ A wooden lip is placed as a base and a wall is installed underneath.
- ✅ Separate sections are created with small walls to contain the topsoil.
- ✅ Each section is filled with fertile soil, leveled with the lower section to facilitate drainage.
02:31 - 03:48
3. 🌱 Optimization of Fertile Soil and Agricultural Resources
- ✅ A method is shown to obtain an infinite amount of fertile soil using a rake to level and collect the necessary soil.
- ✅ Mention is made of searching for specific fertilized soils for different crops, such as nomadic Highlands soil for peppers.
- ✅ A link to an agriculture guide is recommended for more details on resource optimization.
03:49 - 05:08
4. 🪜 Creating Stepped Levels for the Irrigation System
- ✅ The construction process is repeated to create four layers of stepped farmland.
- ✅ It is explained that the height of the foundations is optimized to work with a single water dispenser per section.
05:09 - 06:35
5. 🚧 Completion of the Structure and Suggestions for Improving Agriculture
- ✅ A wall is built around the upper level to contain the water.
- ✅ Ideas are suggested to improve agriculture in the game, such as using domesticated animals to plow and sow fields, and assigning citizens to work on farms.
06:36 - 07:40
6. 💧 Unlocking Irrigation Gates and Necessary Resources
- ✅ It is explained how to unlock the irrigation gates by completing the mill mission and obtaining the millstone.
- ✅ The resources needed to build the gates are listed, including tropical wood, paper cane, nails, and wooden planks.
07:41 - 09:02
7. 📍 Location of Paper Cane and Other Essential Resources
- ✅ A specific location is shown to find paper cane near the farmer's vault.
- ✅ Additional resources needed are mentioned such as iron, steel bars, iron dust, and shell limestone.
09:03 - 10:16
8. 🌊 Installation of Gates and Water Dispensers for the Irrigation System
- ✅ The irrigation gates are placed between the walls to allow water flow.
- ✅ Water dispensers are installed to fill the farm sections.
- ✅ It is highlighted that the water is maintained at a specific level thanks to the design of the farm.
10:17 - 11:27
9. 🌾 Planting Rice and Optimizing the Harvest
- ✅ Rice seeds are planted in the prepared fields.
- ✅ It is revealed that holding down the left mouse button allows you to plant seeds automatically, although harvesting still requires pressing the E key repeatedly.
- ✅ The need for an automated harvesting tool in the game is reiterated.
11:28 - 12:58
10. 🛠️ Construction of Scaffolding and Completion of the Rice Section
- ✅ Scaffolding is made with wood and rope to facilitate access to crops.
- ✅ The section of the farm intended for rice cultivation is completed, ready for irrigation.
- ✅ The construction of this irrigation system is justified in anticipation of future game updates that will require irrigation for crops.
12:59 - 14:41
11. 🌿 Preparation of the Algae Section and Design of the Flood System
- ✅ A separate section is built for algae cultivation, designed to be flooded.
- ✅ It is explained that this section will be at a lower level and will be flooded by a gate, instead of having its own irrigation channel.
- ✅ A ladder is built to facilitate access to water and algae collection.
14:42 - 16:29
12. 💧 Filling the Algae Section and Considerations on Water Dispensers
- ✅ The algae section is filled with fertile soil.
- ✅ A warning is given about the limit of 20 water sources placed in the game.
- ✅ It is suggested to use a gate or a portable pump to manage water more efficiently.
16:30 - 17:31
13. 🌱 Planting Algae and Plans for Future Constructions
- ✅ Algae sprouts are planted in the flooded section.
- ✅ The creation of a riverside village in the Veil Water Basin area is announced, divided into individual sections.
17:32 - 18:29
14. 🌾 Irrigating the Farm and Results of the Material Test
- ✅ The gates are opened to irrigate the rice fields.
- ✅ It is observed that different construction materials have slightly different effects on water retention.
- ✅ Further experimentation with materials is planned in a future video.
