Plants & Allotments

A Yard Allotment is a six-bay garden building for your lawn, with four terracotta pots along the front. Turn the soil, sow a Plant Seed, and keep the pot watered and fed — about 24 hours later something comes up. What comes up is one of 30 ordinary potted plants, and not always the one you were hoping for. They are decorations and nothing more: they stand indoors or out, and no rule in the game resolves against them.

Getting one

Carpentry Commission Board

There are two ways to an Allotment. Fill commissions at the Commission Board and open its View Rewards store, where one is 2,000 Commission Points and goes straight into your pack — or build it yourself at the Carpentry bench, where it is the only thing that asks for Grandmaster skill:

Carpentry	Materials
100	5,000 Iron Wood Planks + 500 Iron Ingots + 3 Pristine Wood

It is a yard piece and will not go indoors — six cells of building squeezed into a hall would be drawn a third of its size in a single tile. Right-click it to take it back up, though it will refuse while anything is still growing in it rather than destroy your plants.

Getting seeds

Commission Board

Plant Seeds are bought with Commission Points and come from nowhere else — no gather turns one up and no vendor stocks them. Fill commissions at the Commission Board, then open its View Rewards store: a seed is 50 Commission Points, and it goes straight into your pack.

One seed sows one pot, so a garden kept full is a standing bill against the board rather than a one-off — four pots a day is four seeds a day.

Growing

24 hours

Each of the four pots runs on its own clock, so they need not be planted together or tended together.

Step	What it costs	What it does
Turn the soil	—	Readies a bare pot for a seed.
Sow a seed	1 Plant Seed	Which plant it will be is decided now, and the pot tells you at once. You are growing a known thing, not opening a box.
Water	1 Water Bucket	Keeps the soil damp for 8 hours.
Feed	1 Bag of Fertiliser	Feeds the pot for 24 hours.
Pick it	—	The plant goes into your pack, potted and ready to place.

A pot advances one stage every 6 hours, and there are 4 stages from seed to bloom — but only while it has both water and feed at that moment. Water runs out far sooner than fertiliser on purpose: watering is the twice-a-day visit, while one bag of fertiliser very nearly covers a whole plant.

Neglect costs you time and nothing else. A pot that runs dry simply stops where it was and waits — it never loses the plant, the stage it had reached, or the seed that started it. Water it and the clock picks up with a full stage ahead of it. Nothing in the yard dies while you are not looking at it.

What comes up

30 plants

Every seed rolls against the same four bands. Within a band each plant is equally likely, so the more plants a band holds the rarer any one of them is.
