While {{bl\|Greenhouse}} and {{bl\|Clay Pit}} use Fertile Soil, they are not farms and work on regular production cycles.

			The availability of Fertile Soil is random, just like the availability of Gathering Nodes, and is dependent on various factors:
			* The [[Marshlands]] and [[Rocky Ravine]] biomes have a low Fertile Soil availability compared to other biomes.
			* The [[Bamboo Flats]] start with no Fertile Soil at all, but taking care of the biome's unique Fluffbeak will allow you to manually construct plots of Fertile Soil.
			* The '''Fertile Grounds''' and '''Barren Soil''' modifiers boost and prevent Fertile Soil availability, respectively.
			* The '''Soil Reclamation''' positive [[Forest Mystery]] creates multiple tiles of Fertile Soil for each depleted Gathering Node.
			* The {{Species link\|Humans}} [[Starting Ability]] reveals the location of the nearest undiscovered plot of Fertile Soil. This ability has no benefit on maps that start with no Fertile Soil to begin with.
