Crop Basics

Farming is the foundation of your wasteland farm. Learn what to plant, when, and how to protect it.

  • Seasonal crops rotate with the calendar — plant to the season.

  • Fruit trees take 7 days and produce forever once mature — plant them early.

  • Herbs grow in 2 days — fast filler crops that smooth cash flow.

  • Mushrooms are an autumn forage bonus — free calories.

  • A sickle harvests whole groups at once — upgrade it early.

Protecting Crops from Weather

Weather protection is a strategy, not an afterthought.

  1. Watch the forecast daily

    Acid rain, heat and storms all threaten fields — know what is coming.

  2. Build covers

    Shield exposed plots before storms; group vulnerable crops together.

  3. Use the Rain gene

    Auto-watering mutation keeps soil moist through dry spells.

  4. Automate in 1.0

    Drone stations handle seeding, nurturing and harvest — the endgame.

TIP

Drought Strategy & Common Mistakes

In drought month (Month 4) crops wither and prices spike. Stockpile before the drought and sell high during it. Common mistakes: planting one giant flat field (a single storm wipes it), ignoring fruit trees early (they are free money later), and never upgrading the sickle (group harvest is a huge time saver).
