Description[]
The Iron Crop Plot is a farming plot for growing Seeds that can later be harvested for Plant Resources once fully grown. Unless the Prospector has the 
Fresh Is Best talent when deploying a seed into the crop plot, the grown Plant Resource will eventually wither if not harvested.
Connecting the Iron Crop Plot to a powered 
Water Pump will automatically keep the plot in a 'watered' state, increasing growth speed by 50%. A water connection is not required to use the Iron Crop Plot. Iron Crop Plots can also be watered by right-clicking the plot while holding a Liquid Container or by leaving the plot exposed to the elements. Watering a plot increases growth rate by 50% for 10 minutes real time.
Plants suffer from Plant Fatigue as denoted by the above symbol. Each time a plant is harvested the plant will suffer 10% reduced growth speed and 5% decrease in yield. Removing the plant and reseeding removes this debuff.
FAQ[]
- How do I get seeds?
- You can find a detailed description on how seeds are obtained here.
- How are Farming Talents applied to dirt mounds/crop plots?
- Farming talents are now applied once a seed is deployed into a dirt mound/crop plot.
- Do I get to keep the modifiers applied from my talents if I decide to reseed?
- No. Modifiers are cleared every time you manually reseed a dirt mound/crop plot.
- Do I need to reseed every time I harvest my crops?
- Crop plots will automatically reseed when harvesting by hand or with a sickle, retaining the modifiers applied.
- Is there any benefit to using a sickle while harvesting my crops?
- Using a sickle increases the amount received upon harvesting and increases the chance of obtaining seeds for replanting. (Sickles do not damage crop plots)
- How do I apply Fertilizer?
- Equip a fertilizer of your choosing from your hotbar and left click the plot you wish to fertilize.
- Why can't I inspect my dirt mound/crop plot?
- Dirt mounds/crop plots can only inspected while a seed is planted and is growing.
