Getting Started
Garden patches must be placed in the yard of a housing plot, whether it be a private or free company estate. Garden patches must then be purchased from a Housing Merchant or an estate Junkmonger. The size of an estate determines the maximum number of garden patches available to it; cottages, houses, and mansions can make use of one, two, and three patches respectively. There are three types of garden patches, each allowing for a different number of garden beds. Round, oblong, and deluxe patches contain 4, 6, and 8 beds, respectively. The only benefit to a smaller patch is that you can perform bi-directional intercrossing with fewer seeds.
- Seeds
To begin gardening, players will first need to obtain seeds. Seeds can be gathered by botanists, and will occasionally appear at certain locations where their plants yield crops.
Example: La Noscean orange seeds can be obtained from the same trees as la noscean oranges.
- Certain seeds may prove difficult to obtain.
- Soil Players will also need to prepare soil for their gardens, which can be obtained by miners. The type of soil will depend on the region where it was gathered.
- Soil type and grade affects yield quality and quantity, and the likelihood of intercrossing.
- Planting Seeds With a garden bed selected, choose a bag of seeds and your desired soil to begin planting.
- Raising Crops
Plant growth can be promoted through constant tending and the use of fertilizer.
The rate of growth and amount of produce yielded varies between plants.
Fertilize Crop Enrich soil and accelerate growth.
- Can only be applied to a plant once per hour (Earth time).
Tend Crop Tend and water plants. Neglected plants will eventually wither.
Remove Crop
Remove a plant from its bed before it yields crops.
- Harvesting Crops When plants have fully grown, players can harvest their crops to obtain produce. Plants may yield high quality produce depending on how they were cultivated.
- Certain items can only be obtained through gardening.
- Intercrossing
In the event that different plant species were growing side by side, they may also render up new kinds of seeds. This process can be repeated with intercrossed plants, and may give rise to heretofore unseen specimens.
The crossbred results might be choosing from a pool of possible seeds, rather than solely limited to one outcome.
- E.G. Apricot crossed with Pixie Plum produced both Royal Kukuru and Pineapple seeds.
