Match Crop Choice to Plot Sunlight

Use a small planting to test whether a crop suits a plot before committing more seeds and care supplies.

PC / Global, 1.0 released June 17, 2025
WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

An accessible Garden Plot on open ground inside your flag area, with crop tiles clear of nearby walls.

This is a cautious site trial for a crop you have not grown in a particular plot. Read the plot’s sunlight status and the seed’s growing-condition information, then plant a limited number of seeds and observe the result. The inspection helps guide your choice; it does not promise a particular harvest or growth schedule.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • A Garden Plot or a suitable site inside your flag boundary.
  • A seed with growing-condition information you can check.
  • Access to the plot inspection interaction.
  • Water container for any need shown during care.
  1. Choose an open candidate location where you can reach the crop tiles for maintenance.
  2. Inspect the plot and note its displayed sunlight status before planting.
  3. Check the intended seed’s growing-condition information and compare it with the plot reading.
  4. Plant a small trial rather than using your whole supply of that seed at once.
  5. Inspect the planted crop’s water and condition status during care visits; provide water if indicated, or rely on rainfall when it replenishes the plot.
  6. Observe whether the crop remains in suitable condition as it grows, and harvest when it is ready.
  7. Use the outcome to decide whether to plant more of that crop there or try a different crop or site.

Farming tips

  • Keep some seeds back when testing a location so one unsuitable choice does not use your full supply.
  • A plot can have convenient access and still be a poor light match; use the displayed reading as well as the site layout.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat the trial when changing crop or moving to a different plot. The site check can be reused, but each trial consumes seeds and its outcome depends on crop care and server settings.

Common mistakes

  • Planting a large batch before checking the seed’s conditions risks tying up seeds in a poor match; test a small planting first.
  • Assuming all seeds have the same light needs skips a useful check; compare the seed information with the plot reading.
  • Choosing only for sunlight can leave tiles hard to tend; keep crop access clear while selecting the site.

When to stop or switch

Do not expand the planting while the seed information and plot reading appear incompatible or the trial crop remains in poor condition; test another crop or location first.
