I have set up a semi-functional automated wood farm in my first playthrough and I have decided to make a little farm to start making food so I can get some "folk" to start living in little houses. I am on the first step and I am stumped. I have no earthly idea how to remove the dang weeds. I have tried a hoe, a scythe, and a sickle, but I cannot remove them. Please help!

You need to use a shovel to dig up the weeds and then you need to put fertilizer quickly before the weed grow back. You can get fertilizer from putting cow dung the fertilizer storage.

I tried that, but the nearest cow pen was MILES away from the farm. That is concerning, because the bots carrying all the cow's poop will slow down because of how many pieces it is carrying, and might not even notice the fertilizer box.

if you build another it's connected to the same storage so you can build a fertilizer box closer

Thanks, that makes everything much easier.
