Game Guide by Faviyan Mustafiz on Oct 07, 2025

The Digi Farm in Digimon Story: Time Stranger is a powerful growth system that works in tandem with story progression. You can passively level up, gather crafting materials, shift personalities, and strengthen bonds without constant micromanagement.

Understanding how to access the Digi Farm, what each feature does, and how systems like Training Sets and Agent Skills interact will help you unlock faster Digivolutions and a stronger roster.

Accessing the Digi Farm

You can access the Digi Farm from the In-Between Theater, which unlocks naturally as the story advances. Access portals appear across the map. While in the Digi Farm, your Digimon gain experience just as they would in storage, with additional benefits described below.

What the Digi Farm Is (and Isn’t)

The Digi Farm appears as a small, customizable planet you can freely decorate with tiles and ornaments. These decorations are cosmetic and mainly appeal to the series’ monster-raising heritage. Focus your time on the functional systems that affect growth, items, and Digivolution paths.

Adding Digimon & Gathering Items

Add any Digimon to the Digi Farm, and they will roam and periodically return with materials. These resources are useful for crafting items at the Blacksmith, overlapping with items found throughout the world.

While the exact spawn logic for rare materials needs more testing, routinely revisiting the Digi Farm ensures a steady trickle of useful drops that support gear progression.

Training & Personality Shifts

The biggest advantage of the Digi Farm is structured training that increases stats and shifts personality. Throughout the game, you will find or purchase Training Sets, each targeting one or two stats.

Starting a training displays personality shift arrows—larger arrows indicate a stronger shift, smaller arrows a lighter nudge. Personality matters because it passively boosts certain stats on level-ups and influences Digivolution and de-Digivolution potential.

Personality Matching & Easier Digivolution

If your Digimon’s personality matches a target Digivolution’s personality—and you have the right Agent Skills unlocked—some Digivolution requirements can be reduced.

This makes otherwise demanding forms easier to reach. Personality alignment is thus a strategic lever: align, train, level, and then Digivolve or de-Digivolve to optimize stat growth with less friction.

Starting, Skipping, and Speeding Up Training

When activating training, you can wait for the allotted time or spend Yen to instantly complete it and apply both the stat gains and personality shift. Specific Agent Skills reduce training time for Digimon with matching personalities, making them essential if you plan to lean on the Digi Farm, especially in the late or postgame.

Passive Continuation & Notifications

After training completes, you can let a Digimon continue the same regimen. If you are away from the Digi Farm, you will receive a text notification from the In-Between Theater indicating training has finished.

Respond to re-queue that same training without returning in person. This automation is a major quality-of-life upgrade over systems seen in Cyber Sleuth, eliminating the need to juggle multiple farms or manually reset routines.

Bond Growth Without Battles

The Digi Farm lets you raise bond independently of combat—vital because both bond and Talent influence how bonus stats carry over when you Digivolve. Visit Farm Shops to buy different kinds of food; each has distinct effects.

Feed Digimon at the Digi Farm to strengthen your bonds with them while your active party stays the same. This way, you can keep your chosen battle lineup without giving up long-term growth on teammates who are sitting on the bench.

Smart Habits for Maximum Returns

Populate the Digi Farm with as many spare Digimon as you can to maximize free item drops. Keep Training Sets occupied continually; farm items are not consumed—just “in use” while a Digimon trains—so there is no waste in chaining sessions.

To keep passive training going, check for and answer In-Between Theater notes. You can forget, but your Digimon will still gain experience over time, so it will always be making progress.

Quality-of-Life Advantages

This Digi Farm iteration streamlines the entire loop: automatic notifications, personality-aligned Agent Skills, and instant completion with Yen when needed.

Compared to earlier implementations like Cyber Sleuth, it reduces micromanagement, consolidates systems, and turns the Digi Farm into a true set-and-forget powerhouse for stats, personalities, bonds, and materials.
