NewRanch:Fallow Field

The Fallow Field is a surface biome of abandoned farmland. It counts as active when about 140 Fallow Soil tiles are near you.

Generation

Patches 50–90 tiles wide, with the top 3–6 blocks turned into Fallow Soil and fallow stalks on top. They keep at least 320 tiles away from the world edges. A world gets about one field per 900 tiles of width (about 9 in a Large world, 18 in a Ranch world). About half of the fields have a small cellar 10–14 tiles down whose chest holds Grain Seeds, Wild Grain, sometimes Leaf Tonic, Grain Loaf or Barn Bars, torches and silver.

Spawns

Vanilla spawns are reduced to 40%.

• Field Crow (day) and Barn Rat (night)
• Rot Fruit, a rarer trap enemy
• Escaped livestock: Hen (day) and Woolly Ewe

Pest spawns follow the Pest spawn rate setting and are reduced by scarecrows and the Rookery armor set.

The Fallow Soil here is ready farmland: plant on it straight away (see Farming).
