	[[~~Farm~~]]~~s produce~~ [[~~commodities~~]] ~~by growing plants and raising animals~~.		Plant-growing processes that use [[Water_in_the_Environment\|water from the environment]] are not affected by the visible presence of water at or near the farm site. They are also unaffected by visible rainfall. When processes gather water from the environment, the probability of success is based solely on a worldwide water presence percentage, which appears in [[System_Survey\|survey report]] as the water surface coverage of the planet.

[[Animal]] and animal by-product production processes that use [[Pasture\|pasturing]] to acquire foliage from the environment '''are''' affected by the visible presence of plants. When processes gather foliage from the environment, the probability of success is based on the foliage density at the farm site. The most accurate indicator of foliage density is the green leafy texture painted on the dirt itself, also known as the ''ground cover''.

	Each farm resides in three animal specie areas of a planet, one for each time of day: bright, dim and dark. Each specie area produces two different herbivore species. Every farm can produce up to six different herbivore species, two from each of the farm's three specie areas.

At the time of day the farm produces an animal, one of the two possible herbivore species is selected at random. A 3D representation of the domesticated animal appears on the farm. This animal can be mounted, killed, and interacted with as normal.

	The farm can breed a herd of two living animals. When one domestic animal is already present on a farm, the next animal produced will be the same specie as the existing animal, except that it will be the opposite gender.

This [[use]]s the DNA sample, which will cause it to disappear when it is eventually used up. The animal appears at the location of the DNA sample. An animal spawned from a DNA sample is allowed to exceed the usual population limit of the farm, 1 or 2 based on what it is producing. The DNA does not have to be a herbivore and it must not be from a sentient race. Using a [[DNA Sample]], animals from any [[Ecological_Role\|ecological role]] can be domesticated.
