Boneboo Crop Production
Boneboo provides a fast-growing crop for a repeatable raw-produce supply; its mature harvest is also a useful input when you…
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Boneboo Crop Production
A ship, home base, or planet farm with valid tilled soil and open air above the plants.
Before you go
- Boneboo seeds from wild crop gathering, quests, tenant rent, or another available in-game source.
- A hoe and a watering method such as a watering can, collected water, rain, or sprinkler.
- A storage container for produce and a reserve of seeds.
- Optional: cooking access or the ship's Terramart shipment interface for using surplus.
Farming steps
- Gather Boneboo seeds during planet exploration or obtain them from another available seed source; begin with a small quantity.
- Choose a farm location with soil that can be tilled, room above the plot, and no standing water that could flood the crops.
- Till the soil, plant Boneboo seeds, and water the top of each tilled block.
- Leave the crop to grow while doing other tasks; check its growth visually when you return, since crop growth continues while you are elsewhere in the universe.
- Interact with mature Boneboo to harvest it, then collect the produce and any seeds returned.
- Store enough seeds to restart the plot. Use the remaining produce in cooking where a recipe calls for it, or check current shipment orders before sending surplus.
- Expand the field in small batches as your seed reserve and use for the produce justify the extra planting.
- Boneboo's listed average harvest time is about 20 minutes; use that as a planning guide, not a guaranteed timer for every plant.
- Mature harvests do not reliably return seed, so preserve your planting stock rather than counting on the next harvest to replenish it.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat the grow, harvest, reserve, and use cycle as long as you have Boneboo seeds. The crop is not a guaranteed self-renewing farm: if seed stock runs out, obtain more through normal seed sources before restarting.
Common mistakes
- Planting every seed at once; keep a reserve so one poor seed return does not end the field.
- Assuming mature plants always drop replacement seeds; store seed stock separately from produce.
- Flooding the plot while watering; water the top of tilled soil, and avoid excess water above the plants.
When to stop or switch
Stop adding plots when your stored Boneboo covers the cooking or shipment goal you currently have. If you have no use for the surplus or lack seed to replant, switch the space to another crop.
