How do I make a slave work on farm?
I have a planter and harvest box.
There are seeds in harvest box, and few seeds planted in the planter.
The gal does abso-fuck-alutely nothing
A: Position the girl so that her "territory" (the blue line) includes both the planter and the harvest box.
B: Set het job to Farming (I believe it was called here) or whatever it's called instead.
C: Ensure water is present (Well)
D: She should walk to the planter every now and again (if during day, or night an guard)
E: Planter shouldn't change much beside grow one plant whenever she goes to work there
F: Patience

In my save, I discovered that it's not necessary that the working station is inside the territory of npc as long as it is near near them.

True, but they need territory to be a bit higher than a fixed position.
And when having issues with the work in that regard, it certainly is better to ensure they are "in range" of it by using the territory as a guideline.

That carrot icon on top does mean she's working.

I believe however, that putting seeds inside the box does nothing.
You have to plant the first batch, afterwards the Natives will nurture the plant and when ready, harvest it and use the seeds gained from the harvest to replace the plant.

You need a cropbox nearby, they'll keep filling it with what you planted
Harvest box was the second screenshot, it's inside her territory range.

Yeah, but it does nothing

Because it takes time? Every time she works, ONE plant gets advanced on step further.
She's alone and has to tend to 8 plants. Of course she can't immediately harvest stuff.
I harvested it all myself, since then she had worked like... 10 times?
Nothing got planted

Do I have to plant the stuff myself?
Tried pretty much everything that came to mind, giving her garlic directly, giving her garlic seed directly... but she just "works" and it does nothing
What did I say in my first answer?

If you harvest yourself, the native wont have seeds to replace the plants. They DO NOT take seeds out of the harvest box.

NPCs will check for job sites within 10m (4 platforms) so long as their territory circle is set to anything bigger than the smallest value. So yeah, the job site doesn't necessarily have to be within the circle, though it's often a good idea to do it anyway.

DO NOT let a single NPC tend more than 4 plants by herself.

The farming AI is stupid and will randomly pick plants to tend to (or EMPTY PLOTS *facepalm*) instead of harvesting ripe crops. And if a ripe goes neglected too long it will wilt and when the NPC gets to tending it she will just replant the crop without getting the extra seeds.

Having them tend 8 plants increases the chances of them doing stupid shit and wasting their efforts.

Putting seeds in the harvest box is pointless. NPC don't need seeds to replant. They just replace a Stage 3 or Stage 4 crop directly with a Stage 1 without using any seeds. You get a crop (teleported straight into the harvest box) if it's Stage 3; you get A WHOLE BAG OF NOTHING if the idiot NPC picked a Stage 4.

So... assign one NPC for every 4 plants (one worker per wooden planter, two workers per stone planter). Make sure there's a well or water tank nearby and the NPC's territory circles are set to anything above the minimum. ALSO MAKE SURE very slot in the planter is filled. There are ways to optimize this further (involving limiting NPCs to specific planters) but trust me; it ain't worth the effort. I tried.

Edit: Oh and one more important thing: farms only work when you're close enough to them. Go too far away and the whole map chunk with the planters will unload and the NPCs there won't do any work.
