Get Started With DFS!
New to Digital Farm System? Here’s how to start farming in Second Life.
1. Visit the DFS Main Store (teleport here). Your avatar must be at least 30 days old to visit and use DFS.
2. Get the DFS HUD and join the DFS group. The HUD tracks your energy and inventory, and the group is where you can ask for help. You can also join our Discord.
3. Pick up the starter pack, which has everything below in one purchase. If you’d rather buy items separately, you’ll need:
- A couple of Dirt Fields and some Hay seeds to grow food for your animals
- Fertilizer for your fields
- A Water Well to fill water barrels for your fields and animals, plus a Water Trough
- A few Cows and Bulls, which also give you fertilizer
- A Butcher Station to process meat, and a Stove to cook it. Eating food restores the energy you need to work your fields.
Ready to plant? Our Beginner’s Guide walks you through planting, tending and harvesting step by step, including what the field colours mean.
4. Start cooking. Check the DFS Recipes to see what you can make with your harvest.
