I can comfortably report that if you make 3 fields for parsnips (2 fallow, one planted) the 1st field you planted in will be fully restored by the time you have to use it again. Honestly its juuuust shy of being fully restored just alternating 2 fields, but over a long time itll deplete.

I know this is on the wiki, but isnt 5 blocks from the firepit, in all directions, 11x11x5? Assuming the fire pit is always above the center of the top-most layer

Honestly, I am dumping a lot of resources into see if you need one set of fields for every 10 nutrient consumed (per the wiki). Based on Streetwind's tip, I have 5 flax fields (one with crops, 4 fallow) and I have 2 parsnips fields. Going to see if the parsnips can just go back and forth and recover enough

Nevermind, I figured it out. If you take the work item and put it back into a crucible, you can smelt it back into an ingot.

Is there any way to undo an item if you havent started working it? I finally got tin bronze and was going to make a sword blade. I shift-right clicked to place the ingot on the anvil and it immediately just chose shears to make. This is extremely aggravating and not the first time. Is there a way to smelt it back down so I can make what I actually want?

You can probably extrapolate that out for the others, since we know all the variables. I have a ridiculous abundance of terra preta. So much that it might be viable to just run through a farm and replace it all

that was my next question, how long does that take to rotate through. Which you very nicely answered!

I am reading through the handbook and wiki and it seems like most fertilizers aren't really that good at restoring nutrients, aside from K plants Bonemeal is N:3, P:30, K:0 Postash is N: 0, P:0, K:60 Saltpeter is N:13, P:0, K: 44 I also read that farmland regenerates nutrients over time. Since fertilizer is either rare, inefficient, or both, compared to how much food you actually need to survive, is it better to just rotate crops into different farm plots?
