Compost Fertilizer
Compost fertilizer is a classic, low effort fertilizer.
Notes
Compost Fertilizer is a basic, low-effort fertilizer that adds Nitrogen (+2), Phosphorus (+1), and Potassium (+3.7) per use to soil, making it a decent all-purpose nutrient source with a notable potassium focus. It can be produced through several recipes, including composting spoiled food or adobe, and serves as an ingredient in crafting Nitric Acid, bridging early farming aid with later chemical production. Practical tip: stockpile compost fertilizer from spoiled food to maintain soil fertility while saving higher-tier fertilizers for crops with specific needs, and keep some on hand for nitric acid production when advancing to explosives or industrial chemistry.
