The Medium Crop Plot is the second farming plot you can craft. It allows you to plant all types of seeds and holds 400 water. It can be placed anywhere on the ground, provided the area is relatively flat.

Usage

In order to grow a crop, you will need three things:

  1. A seed. One of the following plant seeds: Savoroot Seed, Longrass Seed, Rockarrot Seed, or Citronal Seed. (Berry seeds also work, but do not benefit from being planted in a Medium Crop Plot instead of a Small Crop Plot.)
  2. Irrigation. Usually a water source connected to the plot using a Stone Irrigation Pipe - Tap Stone Tap or a Metal Irrigation Pipe - Tap Metal Tap. Rainwater or water from a Waterskin Waterskin also works, but is less reliable.
  3. Fertilization. Fertilizer Fertilizer made in a Compost Bin Compost Bin lasts the longest, but takes a bit of time to make, so starting with simple Feces Feces might be easier.

Once the plot is irrigated and fertilized, you can place the seed in its inventory and it will be planted after a few seconds.

The plant will mature through several stages over the course of several day cycles, and once it has reached Fruitling status you will be able to harvest it continuously.

Fruitlings will grow and hold up to 300 of their planted berry type. Once harvested they will slowly grow back until reaching the maximum yield again.

To change the current plant, access the radial menu by holding 'E', then select 'destroy plant'. This will allow a new seed to be planted.

Notes

  • Prematurely harvesting a plot does not seem to affect the growth of plants.
  • As long as the plot is kept watered and fertilized, it will never need to be reseeded.
  • A plot also has a small chance to spawn a new seed of its own in each yield that can be removed and used to start another plot.
