Crops and farming

Custom crops are not planted in dirt: they go in special pots, with their own seeds, and they only grow if the pot is wet and it's the crop's right season.

Seasons rotate on their own every 28 in-game days (Spring → Summer → Autumn → Winter). A crop grown out of season withers and dies (unless you protect it with greenhouse glass).

It all works in the main Survival world (not at spawn).

You can get everything — seeds, pots, watering cans, sprinklers and fertilizers — from the /shop store (Cultivo Custom category).

1. Get a pot, a watering can and seeds from /shop → Cultivo Custom.
2. Place the pot on the ground.
3. Fill the watering can: right-click on water (its bar fills up). Then right-click the pot to water it — it turns wet.
4. Plant: with the seed in hand, right-click the wet pot. The crop's stage 1 appears.
5. Wait for it to grow through its stages, keeping it watered. You can speed things up with bone meal.
6. Harvest: once it's ripe, break it. It drops the produce (with its ⭐ quality) plus some seeds, and you earn Agricultor XP + money.
7. Sell the harvest in /shop → Cultivo Custom.

Not sure which plant it is or what stage it's at? Right-click it with an empty hand and it tells you the type and stage (e.g. Plátano · Fase 2/5).

There are 12 playable custom crops. Each one only grows in its own season(s) — plant according to the current season (or use greenhouse glass):

Crops grow in custom pots, which need to stay wet: a dry pot will eventually kill the plant. Water them with a watering can, a water bucket or automatic sprinklers; outdoors they also soak up the rain. Each pot holds up to 5 units of water.

With the Sonda de Tierra (soil probe) in hand, right-click a pot to see its water and fertilizer levels.

Watering cans are refilled by right-clicking on water and let you water by hand; sprinklers are placed over your pots and water them on their own every so often (refill them with a water bucket).

When you harvest, the produce comes in one of three qualities: normal, ✦ (one star) or ✦✦ (two stars). The better the quality, the more it's worth. Without fertilizer the default split is 85% normal / 10% ✦ / 5% ✦✦.

Fertilizers are applied to the pot and last 28 growth cycles. There are 5 types, each with 3 tiers (I, II, III):

• De Calidad (quality) — better odds of ✦ and ✦✦ (tier III raises it to 40% ✦ / 20% ✦✦).
• De Velocidad (speed) — the crop grows faster (extra stages).
• De Rendimiento (yield) — more produce per plant when harvesting.
• Tierra Retenedora (water-retaining soil) — keeps the pot from losing moisture.
• Esencia de Variación (variation essence) — higher chance of the plant mutating into a special variant.

Two things kill a garden: the wrong season and drought (without water, a plant has a 70% chance of dying each cycle). To defend yourself:

• Espantapájaros (scarecrow) — protects against crows (which can wither a random plant) within a 7-block radius.
• Greenhouse glass — place any vanilla glass (regular, tinted or any of the 16 colors) within 5 blocks of your pots: plants won't die even out of season. Perfect for single-season crops (Tomate, Repollo, Lechuga…). Glass is just smelted sand, so it costs next to nothing.

Breaking a fully grown plant gives back 1-2 seeds; immature stages give fewer.

Harvesting a custom crop instantly pays money and Agricultor job experience, on top of letting you sell the harvest:

• Vegetables (Repollo, Lechuga, Rábano, Maíz): +2 XP and +$4 per harvest.
• Mid-tier (Uva, Fresa, Tomate): +3 XP and +$6.
• Premium fruits (Plátano, Limón, Naranja, Piña, Granada): +4 XP and +$8.

Then sell the harvest in /shop → Cultivo Custom: the higher the ⭐ quality, the higher the price (✦✦ crops sell for triple the normal ones). Farming contracts also reward you for handing in harvests.

Join the job from /trabajos to rack up its XP. Crop money does not count toward the $50,000/h job earnings cap.
