Farming System like Harvest Moon and sleeping

[Melina]

Hello I work on a new Project Idk a name yet but it will be simillar to Harvest Moon. And well I alraedy have Day and Night and also a clock but this clock is terrible I need to open up the Menu and select Keyitems but I really dont want that. It would be super cool if there would be a clock left or right on the Top.
But my main question now is how I should do a farming system. Like harvest Moon and if u dont give them water it will die and it grows everyday. But I really dont know how to do it...
If I would know how I sleep that 1 Day is over I would be very happy and maybe could use it for the Farm.
So how should I do that?

So now you have nothing and you want a ready engine for the game. It's a bit unworkable, and the field engine itself is quite demanding. Without plugins, this is almost impossible, unless the field is small - like World's Down for example, then you can do this on variables. If you want it to be as big as Harvest Moon, you will need a plugin for selfvariables as well. Time system, weather and other systems has been done as a plugins. Try OrangeTimeSystem, OrangeClock, etc. from @Hudell To be honest, if you can not handle the time system/clock system, do not take that far step ahead... Try something easier first.

OrangeCustomEvents is the way to go for a proper farming system (It's what I use on Orange Season), but I never made any sample project explaining how to use it.

I have a short demo that you can download with a working farming system. But like what everyone else says, it requires a lot of work with variables and switches. Here it is, if you're interested: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/so-you-want-to-be-a-farmer-demo.79412/

Feel free to use the events in your own game. There are no seasons in the demo, but you should be able to add them in, if you take the time. Hopefully, the demo can at least help you get started!

Can use Galv's Timer plugin as well for a simpler alternative.
